Funny in some spots (like when the pony lay down) but scary in others. Give the kid credit for sticking with it. As for the pony - I'd probably put a bit of lead in his left ear.
Okay - when I said "bite me" that's not what I meant.
Shirley - I highly recommend Jane Savoi's freedom From Fear set. I know exactly how you feel. Jane uses a technique she calls approach and retreat - in other words go as far as you are comfortable and go back before you get tense. If that means walk…
Now where is that dang horse hiding?
That is so awesome. Congratulations on a great ride. Sometimes we forget to be grateful for the small successes. I have Jane's cd's and dvd's on Freedom from Fear and they are awesome. Worth every penny.
Absolutely rings true for me. No hesitation to spend money on my horse - way more when it comes to myself!

David - loved your comment - I also notice my horse is getting wider - my leg just doesn't swing like it used to - damn hips!

Fleur has gone on to a new life.
Little miss Fleur, my yearling filly, left for the New Brunswick farm of Patrick St. Onge today. Patrick is a well-known Canadian reiner, now based in Gainsville, Texas. Fleur loaded like a charm - first time is always the easiest! I guess she will be a pasture pony until she's two anyway. I hope he keeps me updated on her progress - I wonder if she will end up in Texas?
Got a lovely email from Patrick on the Sunday to say that she had arrived in St. Jacques, NB safe and sound. They really like… Continue

Welcome William!
Check out the photographs of my new pony, William. He is a 15.2 hand Dry Doc bred quarter horse gelding, five years old. I've had him for a month now and we are really getting to know one another. He is very quiet, willing and forgiving. Nothing much bothers this boy! Thanks so much to Patrick Mulligan who raised and trained William and took the time to ride with me and teach me some of his buttons. I'm so glad Willy failed at roping!
I've had William for 3 months now and I just love him. Had t… Continue

Hi Jocelyn,
I too just started Dressage recently, and I have to say, with a good horse and instructor, Dressage is a blast! So good choice. :)
As others have said, we'd need to know what you're doing with your horse now, and past experience to give…
Thanks Karen....have a great day!!
The late medieval nobility turned dressage into a sport by giving public demonstrations of "horse ballets" to wow the commoners during public celebrations. They would do airs above the ground as well as movements on the ground. The late medieval kni…
Special thanks to Wendy Christoff for submitting this to DC's Communications Committee.
There are horses that do not think the little fences are worth worrying about.
Are you lungeing him over the jumps just in a cavesson, or are you using side reins too? Do you lunge over jumps with a saddle on? Do not use side reins (I am not saying…
Where did I state that medival dressage was humane and correct?
I have stipulated that the SRS under Podhajsky presented dressage more correctly.
I know who Kottas is and he is not a horseman!
Podhajsky was a horseman and even General Patton was a h…
