Alli Farkas replied to Nancy Speir's discussion mane going different directions in the group Amateur Dressage
"My trainer also maintains that a one-sided mane indicates a one-sided horse. The reason is that the underdeveloped neck muscles allow the mane to fall on the weaker side. As the neck muscles get more evenly worked, the mane will split and fall…"

Alli Farkas commented on Anna Blake's blog post Helmets and Freedom
"I have been involved in two raging debates in one of my Linked-In groups. After all the back-and-forth, I have come to the conclusion that the folks who won't consider wearing helmets are people who simply don't like being told by others…"

Alli Farkas replied to Barnmice Team's discussion How do you deal with a horse that does not like to be groomed?
"I also have an OTTB who detests being groomed. I discovered over the years that it's mainly a head-trip with him--Give him lots of hay to chew on, brush him in his stall, and he forgets I'm grooming him. Most of the time. When I first got…"

Profile Information

A Bit About Me and my Horse(s)
Avidly nit-picky personality precisely suited for the minutiae of dressage. Interested in everything about making a horse and rider a team, and everything about preserving the horse's and the rider's health and well-being. Especially interested in classical dressage a la Philippe Karl, but only a struggling neophyte in implementing his philosophy.

An artist, whose years of experience painting landscapes has now combined with her "equine fever" to create custom portraits of horses for those equally afflicted with the "fever".
