My Connemara is just under 14:3. She's what they call a "buttermilk" buckskin - black points but no dorsal stripe, and almost palomino in summer with dapples. We do mostly dressage but we have done competitive trail riding and we have evented. She really loves to jump but is settling nicely into the dressage. I live on Vancouver Island in British Columbia.

One of my customers wants to look at her horse for sale (pity, she's giving up the horse because of the MS. I don't know her specific circumstances but I feel bad for her.

Happy Springtime!!!

At 10:08am on February 26, 2011, Rebecca Leger said…: Interesting--we've played with the idea of sidesaddle, also, because my right leg is more or less intact strength and sensation-wise. But the western saddle is fine at this point--and as long as folks don't get their knickers in a knot when I show up (only VERY occasionally--when I feel REALLY fine) dressed correctly for fox hunting--in a western saddle--who cares? I was very proud that I spent my 50th birthday foxhunting--just with the hilltoppers, mind you--not up with the pack--but not bad for a lady with MS. Rode English that day--perfectly turned out--though scared some of my fellow riders who recognized my balance & strength problems. Aren't horsepeople wonderful? I also have a great photo of me "competing" at mounted games--with a helper so I could be safe. Horsepeople are just the BEST!

You sound like you know yourself so well--good for you. It's great that you can still contribute to building & improving horses--and isn't that what it's all about? Thanks for sharing with me.
