He was returned to me a very different horse and we are unweaving the many bad habits, resistances and new quirks.

Charlestown, MA – The New England Dressage Association (NEDA) is a strong supporter of the equestrian community, and recently the organization stepped forward to show its dedication to dressage riders everywhere.

I know every horse is different and may have their own "rules" you have to follow. I would love to hear yours so please post some in the comments section! :)
