Duke Ellington has a Message for Dressage Riders.

It goes without saying that Duke Ellington is right, about most everything. And even horses agree.But I get ahead of myself. This is how it starts: you’re riding, moving in unison with your horse. You’re fluid, and free- it could be a walk or a gallop, but there is no…See More

"OMG! I hate arena woes!  I have them too! So I don't have an all weather arena, rather a fair weather arena!"

Anna Blake commented on Anna Blake's blog post Why I Have No Sense of Humor About Arena Footing.
"The arena is 20 meters by 60 meters, regulation dressage arena size. 50 tons is less than 2" of footing when spread over the area. (1 cubic yard= approx 1.7 tons.) It does add up fast, but when first built, I hauled in over 70 tons to start.…"

"My eyes bugged out at 50 tons...omg.  One starts with an inch/maybe two (about 10 at the most).  It is easier to add, but taking away is difficult.  And nothing is worse for horses legs than too deep."

Why I Have No Sense of Humor About Arena Footing.

I have no sense of humor about arena footing. None.Let me start here: I don’t consider a plowed up area in the pasture necessarily the same as an arena with footing. A plowed area is kind of like chocolate chip cookie dough, and an arena with footing should be more like…See More

Compassion for All Life. Not Quite.

This morning a lone Canadian goose flew over my pond, calling loudly- back and forth, and again. I wondered if she had lost her mate, or worse. Heart-felt goose sympathy…If you have read my blog, I think it is pretty obvious how I feel about animals, and especially horses. To be clear- any horse, any mustang, any donkey, any pony. And then- any age, any breed, any challenge. Of course- any place, any time. Finally- any equine not already mentioned.If you are unfamiliar with my blog, I will give…See More

Profile Information

A Bit About Me and my Horse(s)
Good partnership with a horse is showing leadership in such a positive way, they work for you by choice.

At Infinity Farm, we believe that every horse benefits from dressage and that every horse can love his work. We train horse and rider by using the time-honored principles of classical dressage combined with natural horsemanship – learning to speak the language of the horse.

Our name, Infinity Farm, means exploring the endless possibilities of the horse/human relationship. We believe you don’t have to own a fancy horse to be an elegant, effective, even elite rider. You can continually grow as a rider and your horse can grow in strength and understanding — as you both work together with sensitivity, relaxation and grace.
