Mia is old. Mia is ancient. Mia has arthritis problems in her hocks. Mia has the most sensitive mouth of any horse I've ridden in the past 47 years.

That bareback beach riding bucket list experience - a tender moment for the rider, yet perhaps differently “tender” for the horse.

I'm asked this question at a few open shows per season. Currently most rule books do not permit bitless bridle.
At the Global Dressage Forum. Dr. Andrew McLean one of the panel experts “How you train the bitless bridle depends on the hands at the other end. I think you can have the horse light in anything.… It’s how you train it.”
When asked if a…

I Move My Grip Up an Inch or So
When I talked to Debbie before my lesson on Wednesday, I told her about my hip bursitis and that I would not be very ambitious, no “rider's push-ups”, limited 2-point and limited posting trot. I had been hobbling around all week and I did not want to do anything that would trigger my hip bursitis again! I asked to use the Equicube so I would work different…

Even with one refusal and two rails, which dropped them to 24th in the placings, Melanie Ferrio-Wise was delighted with her performance at the Washington International. She rode the course with a neck rope instead of a bridle!
She describes her horse as a tough horse unable to handle the stress of his previous life in competitive dressage. “He doesn’t like…
