A Bit About Me and my Horse(s)
I have been riding since I was 6 years old and have done a few different disciplines...Dressage, Jumping, Carriage Driving...but I have gone back to my true passion - Dressage. I'm currently working through my EC Rider Levels to get my Coaching Certification.

    Hi Sonia!
    Welcome to the Toronto CADORA group. Please be sure to visit the page often to find out about upcoming events, etc. By the way ... like your photo. I have a dream of learning to drive one day. Starting with minis ... ;-) Cheerz! Dorothy :-)

    Hi Sonia! I actually have my own small stable so i ride at home!! I also ride at Pine Ridge (i trailor over for lessons). There are many good stables around the area - it may take some research to find a good dressage barn that would have a horse for you to ride - the dressage barns that I know of are more private and dont have 'lesson horses', just borders in training. You can try checking the OEF website - they have a list of stables in the area, or keep on asking around barnmice!
    Great pic by the way! adorable horse!

    Hi Sonia!
    It's too bad you were unable to make it last night. It was well attended and the presentations were fantastic! Details on the next one with Christilot Boylen will be posted on the Toronto CADORA group shortly. Be well and Happy Easter! Cheerz! Dorothy :-)

    Hi Sonia! It was a pleasure to meet you. As you can see Bear and I (well, mostly me) are still figuring this whole dressage thing out, but we're having fun while doing so. And yes, I hope to see you around the barn too. Be well, Dorothy :-)

    Sounds good, I'll be anxious to hear more. Glad you enjoyed it! Hope all is well with you. Lily is starting to 'bag-up'! Can't wait to see this one!

    It was a HUGE success! They are quite excited for my next clinic on June 1st!
    I had one scary moment when I was told that one of the riders who was both narcoleptic and had a seizure disorder AND had only been riding since January of 2008, but she was just great! She could walk, trot and canter her horse in a frame no less and is planning on EVENTING this spring!!!! Her coach is a VERY BRAVE SOUL.

    Okey dokey! I will see you on Tuesday! Do you want to come earlier?
  • Linda Weldon

    And miss my lazy Tuesday sleep in? I don't think so miss! Noon is TOTALLY fine with ME! LOL!

    Great new photos! All the foals are so cute! Who's the handsome black horse being ridden?
  • Catherine Chamberlain

    He sure looks like it! What level is he showing in?
  • Catherine Chamberlain

    Awesome. Well, wish you aunt good luck with him!
  • Matthew

    Thanks so much! My girl, Lexus, (the silver black one) is due to foal any day now. I love them so much. They're treated like little A Circuit princes and princesses LOL. Lexus and Royal (the buckskin) are here forever. My other stallion is for sale (can't have two stallions and one mare lol). My other reason for selling him is that I'm looking to add a big horse into my life once again. Can't wait to see your Grandparent's minis...

    Hi Sonia!
    I wasn't able to be there either as I had a gig on Saturday night. Probably the best person to ask would be Linda. I've heard that it was a great evening. There's always next time. Cheerz! Dorothy :-)

    Hi Sonia

    My mare finally foaled! Look on the Mini Group page!

    Hi Sonia, I saw that you are coming to the Games from Canada. How cool! How long of a drive is that for you? I live near Lexington so my drive to the Games will be short. :)

    Hi Yes we had a morgan mare, her name was Golden Harmony... we leased her for a number of years. Her owner (who outgrew her-- but loved her and wouldn't sell her) didn't know that she was being abused by the girl who leased her before us. By the time we got her she was a mental mess... she broke the girls arm for her over a fence and would no longer show... my sister and I worked long and hard on her (she was our first horse) but we turned her around and she ended up giving my sister some really amazing rides (I got another horse of my own by the time she was ready to show again). I learned to love the morgan breed with Harmony as their ambasador... My best friend also rode one called Acanac Kandu (think that is the right spelling... remember this was in the early 80's... I am old!!!) and he was a real charmer... he won against some pretty tough dressage compition! I am out of Ingersoll, but am orriginally from London... what is your farm name if you don't mind me asking??? I am not even sure if the Acanac Farm is still around since I raced for many years and have been out for many more.... but they were the farm of choice for morgans in my day.
