Adrienne Tange replied to Jackie Cochran's discussion Am I Just Too Old Fashioned?
"Hi Jackie, I agree with you that people should not "play" with their horses. But that doesn't mean training can't be interesting for them. I show my Arab mare so we do alot of arena work. But I mix it up with trail class…"

My Top 17 Favorite Sites to Buy Western Show Clothes

We all have our vices. Some women collect purses. Some collect shoes. I have a closet full of western show outfits in various colors. For some reason, I have a weakness for them. Maybe because of the Swarovski crystals, the multi-hued material, or because they are related to horses. Either way, I love to spend my money on show clothes. Since there are no local shops that I can buy show clothes from (see About Me), I have bookmarked online websites that I like (and can afford) that sell western…See More

Trying to Fit a Square Peg into a Round Hole (Or trying to make your horse do something it hates)

Do you know that saying “It is like trying to fit a square peg in to a round hole?” Well sometimes we horse owners do that to our horses. We try to force our horse to do something that it doesn’t like to do. Let me give you an example.I have been showing Valerie for about two years now in Class A Arab horse shows. All the classes I enter in are strictly western–western pleasure, trail, and…See More

Adrienne Tange replied to Mistynightacres's discussion Belts and Buckles?
"To be sure about this, read the dress code rules for your show. At the shows I go to a belt is not required but everyone wears one. You do want to dress as nice as your competitors do so that you look well-turned out. Adrienne"

Adrienne Tange replied to Barbara F.'s discussion How do you stay in shape? in the group The Over 40 Rider
"When I first got back into riding about 5 years ago, I found I had lost alot of flexibility. I couldn't get my legs to hang in the correct position. In addition if I did a lot of cantering or posting, I would get pretty tired. Since then I have…"

Adrienne Tange replied to Cindy Jeffery's discussion Where are all the reiners? I feel kinda lonely here.
"I just started doing reining with my 12 year old Arab mare because my trainer who loves reining encouraged me to try it. I was just doing Western Pleasure and Trail. She loves Trail Class but is not too happy doing the WP. Once we started practicing…"

Profile Information

A Bit About Me and my Horse(s)
My first horse was an Appaloosa I named Joe. I rode Joe in 4-H shows and trail rides and in general just had a lot of fun with him.

Now 40 years later, I am lucky enough to own a horse again. (I say lucky because owning a horse in California is not cheap. ) She is an Arab mare named Valerie. We make a good team together even though in the beginning the learning curve was high for both of us.

In the past four years since I have owned her, some very knowledgeable horseman and horsewomen have taught me valuable lessons on riding, horse behavior, and training. They have helped make me a better rider and horsewoman and have helped Valerie change from a neurotic “crack horse” into a calm and reliable mount.
