(Excerpt from Horse Sport) Forty years after Canada earned its only Olympic Team show jumping medal, the Canadian team stood on the medal podium today. Canada’s team captain, Ian Millar, was daring last night in predicting a medal today. After the loss of Mac Cone’s mount, Ole, Canada lost the luxury of a drop score, in a contest where the best three scores count. But, the remaining three team members met the pressure head-on. Jill Henselwood on Special Ed produced the first faultless round of…

Just finish my first rounds today and I’m going to make breakfast for myself. Beverly headed out over a half hour ago; she popped her head into the studio and waved goodbye as she was eating a peach. Liz is still in Sussex where she has been for the weekend. Well, we did not get out on Sunday as I had planed but instead I made a really great salad for Beverly when she got home. The rest of the day was spent doing yard work. Tomorrow I plan to get over to Chapters for a coffee and maybe visit s…

I woke up early this morning to the sound of birds out side my window having an argument; is that possible. The fog outside is so thick even the birds are undercover. Will the sun come out to play today; I ask? I had set the alarm for around six but had forgotten. I was so relaxed but fully away thinking about the thinks I wanted to get done today. When the alarm did go off it caught me by surprise – it took me a moment to cancel the sound but it was too late to go back to that state of relaxat…

Well, it has been pretty eventful working with Sky. Monday, we went on our weekly trail ride. The kayaks were going to eat her, she was convinced of this. She's a very smart horse and she kept having to look back to make sure they either weren't there or weren't following her. We did some hills, some galloping, some cantering, trotting, and all and all, had a great ride. But the highlight of our ride.... We jumped for our first time. Sky is on the trail what I want her to be in the arena.…

http://www.horsejobs.ca/xml/rss.xml At www.HorseJobs.ca we have many people ask us about how they can progress in the equine industry or they are looking for ways to get back to doing what they really love....working with horses. Like many of you, I started as a child, mucking stalls in return for a riding lessons or to pay off a lease on a riding school pony. Later I was mucking stalls to help pay for the stabling of our pony and so the barter system goes... Also like many of you, I left the…

I only have one call to make this morning then I’m off until 1:30 for a full afternoon of work. I plan to go to Chapters/Starbucks and relax this morning and meet a few people and read or do some writing.

A friend sent this in an email the other day, and it really tickled me: Why do I like horses? I reckon I must be mad. My mother wasn't horsey - And neither was my dad. But the madness hit me early – and it hit me like a curse. And I've never gotten better. In fact…I've gotten worse. My stables are immaculate. My house is like a hovel. Last year for my birthday - I got a brand new shovel. I hardly read a paper - but I know who's sold their horse And I wouldn't watch the news – unless Mr. Ed…

I get up early most mornings but yesterday, Sunday I slept in. Saturday night I was up late watching old TV programs on DVDs; finally succumbing at 2am. Once up though I made breakfast for two – something simple - a beagle with cheese, egg and bacon. Beverly dropped me off at Chapters/Starbucks; she had to work. I read, drank coffee; actually laities and just relaxed. When she picked me up, we headed home. Around four, I made hamburgers on the BBQ along with onions, zucchini, cherry tomatoes, mu…

I work as a saddle fitter. My job is to make horses more comfortable in their every day work. As a result, I am on the road most of the time. I go to different stables, seeing the best, and the worst situations horses find themselves in. I would like to share some of these stories with you, as the people, and the horses I meet are sometimes heart warming, sometimes heart breaking, but always interesting.

So starting with yesterday, rough day at work. Just busy busy busy. I go out to the barn and I'm saddling up Sky. My mom calls and I'm talking to her while saddling up, and I told my mom straight up that I really couldn't talk because I was tacking up. My mom is a horse person, she should know this. Well, she kept talking. And Sky mildly scared herself, I don't exactly know how, and she jumped in the air and landed on my two middle toes of my left foot. It wasn't her fault, and I was able to m…

I have a young gelding here who is about 2.5 yrs old and needs backing. I am not setup to start a youngster here and need someone who is willing to put '30' days on him to get him going. He has had saddle on him, has been bitted and longes with full tack. We are still working on ground driving. He has regular hoof care and is UTD on all shots, deworming etc. He is fearless and kind. Please contact me if you can take on a colt to start this fall.

Just for fun, we asked Canadian Olympic dressage rider and Barnmice member Belinda Trussell to give us the scoop on some stuff that only the athletes know. 1. How do they organize all the athletes before they march into the stadium? What is everyone doing? All the athletes travel to the stadium on a bus. In Athens, I was on a bus with the other members of the equestrian team, as well as the baseball team. I sat next to a nice ball player whose name I didn't recognize, but when I told my…

A little note on the flies that keep trying to entertain me each morning; they are so annoying. Each one plays hide and seek but I get them in the end. It’s turning into a little ritual.

She was looking around at stuff, yes, but she didn't spook, she was smart, and wasn't dangerous at all. The best part about today? She and I cantered for our first time. At home, I've been working on our walk and trot, but she was doing so good today, I thought...well why not! My jaw was dragging behind us. I had never ridden a canter like this before. Ever. It w…

What a successful show! I am so happy with the way Mascot performed at the show. My 16 year-old boy pulled through. We were Reserve Champion Children's Hunter, won the Mini-Cet and won the huge $500 gift basket for the Aquarius Jumper Medal. We are now third in BC for the Children's Hunter which is very exciting and we are qualified for the finals in the Mini and Aquarius. We are off to MREC on Sunday just to warm up and get him on the grass field before the finals in September. Ciao

Saturday Morning: woke up late; 5:30am only 3 hours after the party goers (the campers in the fields across the road for tonight’s open air concert: the Eagles) went quite. It was a rough night – I find it had to understand that people visiting a neighborhood, don’t think of others. As I was on the phone I looked out the window – a smile came to my mind and must have transformed to my face and voice “What’s so funny?” I was asked. “O, it’s just poring out – the rain is really coming down hard.”…

Yesterday was "Talk to the Hoof" day. No matter what I did, how hard I asked, begged, cajoled or pleaded with my leg, I was greeted with "talk to the hoof." Bear was simply not interested in listening to my opinion or in going forward the way I wanted him to. Was it the heat? We worked in the arena because the sand ring was too soggy, and even with the doors thrown wide open, there wasn't a lot of air circulation. We both were coated in sweat when we were done.

The truck rattled and banged over the pockmarked road that led to the airport stables. It had been a tough winter, the endless pattern of freezing and thawing had left much of the area’s roadways battered and aged. Gelden had chosen not to tell Hillary about Tesla’s whereabouts. Not because he felt she didn’t have the right to know, she did. But if he were wrong, if the note had not been about Tesla, if Maxim’s cryptic T.E.S. had stood for something else entirely (take Echinacea supplements or…

Dear fellow Saddlebred friends, As many of you know, promoting Saddlebreds is a big responsibility for Saddlebred owners, trainers, and riders. Some areas of the country are better represented with ASB clubs and shows than others, and that is why I am writing to you today. Northwest Indiana and the Chicago south suburbs could benefit from a regional charter club for Saddlebreds, and I am proposing that we do just that.

What a great day – lots of work; met a few new people and had some time to work on the Thursday File web site. It should be up any day now. I plan now to go out and work on the garden – the weeds are planning an attack. I need to get out there and clear them out. The plants are looking very good; in fact I’m looking forward to picking my first Zucchini tomorrow. I like to pick them when they’re quite small rather, than letting them get large.

Another not so nice day but I hear Montreal had severe thunderstorms and they had a Tornado-like waterspout - http://www.cbc.ca/canada/montreal/story/2008/07/23/qc-waterspout0723.html Had two mugs of coffee this morning and I feel I’m flying high.

My morning classes canceled; I have the morning off right up until 2pm, it's like “Total Freedom” - at first you think “what am I going to do, relax enjoy the time you have” - then it hits you – time is too precious to slip by – plan it out and be constructive well it’s still early. Here I go. . . I think I’ll start by taking Beverly to breakfast.
