Philippe Karl was here north of Toronto, last July. I very much enjoyed his clinic and went home and tried his method on my horse. My dramaticlly improved. I now have his book and the first 2 videos. Finally someone who is as good as his hype.

Hi everyone, I have a new book out that teaches kids the basics of riding dressage. It is called The Little Red Riding Book and it is a fictional story with lots of educational information. I'm not one for sales pitches, but of you'd like to check it out the website is www.redridingbook.com and it is available through Trafalgar Square (horseandriderbooks.com). Thanks!

Hi Wynne,
The link on your website to Phillippe Karl's information doesn't work. Neither on the picture, or on the page buttons on the left column.

hi everyone, I am wondering if there is anyone on this list who is in the northern California area. I am having rotator cuff surgery next week and as a result my horses wont have anything to do. So if a rider is without a horse and is in my area and wants to ride play whatever please email me.

There's a world of difference between a change which isn't clean, and a halt which doesn't happen. Technically, a movement which doesn't happen at all means a zero, whereas a movement which is a mess could be anywhere from a 1 to a 5. I would never give a simple change a 4 when a flying change was requested - that requires a more expressive mark than 4, but at least if the lead is changed something along the lines of the demanded movement occurred. If nothing occurs then the mark should reflect that (it's really no different from not managing to get a canter transition when one is called for, or riding a diagonal instead of a half pass).

Interestingly, i saw the same thing with the flying changes in the Sydney Olympics. It was the first time that flying changes were in the advanced test in Eventing and several people, whose horses were not ready(one assumes), opted to do a simple change and still got 3-4. Again the answer was they "changed" even though flying change was asked, they did change leads.
