Donna Humber replied to Lucy's discussion 'getting STBs to canter' in the group Standardbreds Horse Lovers
I have several students working with ex-racing pacers. The canter comes so very easily for some, yet is much harder for others.
I have found , over the years, that slow & steady to change the musculature is best. Longing on sidereins is crucial…
Donna Humber replied to Ann Hatfield's discussion 'What is your favourite book or video on riding instruction, riding dressage, training instruction in dressage?' in the group DRESSAGE FANATICS!!!
. Museler's "Riding Logic" My personal bible. I have referred back to it time & time again, especially whenever I run into a training glitch. It is an older book, but is illustrated and broken down into steps that anyone can…
Donna Humber replied to Dorothy McDonall's discussion 'So, tell me ... how many saddle pads do YOU own?'
Have you by any chance tried Horseloverz.com? Not sure if it's cool to post names, but they have free shipping to canada, and some of the BEST prices ever...like the LOVELY new pad I just got in olive green........for $5.[ ends up being about…
Donna Humber replied to McGood's discussion 'Fugly horse of the day'
me too. I "lurk" & learn. I find some of it silly, but most of it is sad and disturbing.
Donna Humber replied to Brittany's discussion 'My Standardbred CADORA Experience' in the group Standardbreds Horse Lovers
I am applauding you [ clapping madly ] , for training Dressage with your STB. We have a race track here, and STB's are everywhere, yet most people think they are only good for trail horses. They ARE awesome as trail horses, but most of them…

Thank-you Lori, I am very lucky to have a horse like that. So different from the nuts & OT's I have owned before.
Love this group....why didn't I think of it?
Donna Humber replied to Foxhunter's discussion 'Feathers on our crosses' in the group Draft Cross Owners, Breeders and Riders
Mine is a Perch X Morgan, and has very little feathering. i clip her legs, though, because when it's wet....it STAYS wet. I prefer her out each day, and rug her accordingly....or not.
I show , so I clip her legs, trim ears & face and pull…
Donna Humber commented on maureen hall's group 'Draft Cross Owners, Breeders and Riders'
Mine is a Percheron X Morgan [ she's in the pic]. She is the smartest horse I have ever ridden. We are working on second level dressage, but I jumped her in hunter classes [ ahemmm and actually WON !!] , and I trail ride all over the area we…

Hi Donna,
I wanted to know about a pic of the Don Marco gelding your friend owns. My mare Festiva is by Don Marco. Wondered if there may be a pic on another site or if you would post one.
thanks Bren
Lee replied to Donna Humber's discussion 'memorizing tests' in the group The Over 40 Rider
This was how I did it as a kid - I love Cindy's description of dancing the pattern! - and I've found it works well for me as an adult. My spouse and offspring are hugely amused by my behavior in the backyard. Last month, waiting for a…

Marlene said… - Hi,
Was home last week - a work related trip. Myself and mom dropped in o see if you might be around...but we missed you. Maddie looks great. I hear you are getting some new stable landlords....I hope this does not mean you have to move. Also noticed a nice new home / barn on the main road ..would this be Mary's place. BTW did she find a horse?
When is your first show? N sows for the girl this year, the canter departures are not there. Learning lots though. My coach has been a godsend as she has been doing a lot of ground work with her ( canter in long rein, longeing. There is a clinic ith Lee Tubman this week byr as usual I am travelling....oh well have to pay for the horses ....Send news. M

Nicole Jackman said… - Hi Donna. Great to see you are still riding. Where is that arena in your pics at? I think I'm going to start a group for NL riders and NL rider alumni like myself LOL. That would be fun to see what everyone is up to.

- Hi Donna,
I read your comment at Baroque Horses and am interested to learn more about the Don Marco offspring. Would your friend mind if I inquired? I have a Don Marco mare, Festiva, age 12. Am interested to see a photo of the gelding.

Darlene Dagley said… - Hey, Donna How are things. Where do you keep your horse? I hear many of the stables over there are closing up. Great to hear from you. My guy is Trakehner/TB cross. Can be a bit of a spoof at times but a great mover and a good boy. We bought a big property and lots of work getting it together so he's been off this year. Can't wait to get back at it this summer.

- Hey Donna Humber ....how are you ? Quess the weather at home is improving. How has your girl been doing over the winter months.
I am still workin away at the basics with Florina . Thank-god for my coach she has been doing some long reining in Canter with her to help with the canter. The connection is getting better and she is not so far behind the leg but some days its been real challenging! Send me an update!
