Welcome Barbara! That's great that you are getting back into driving. I'm on the Ontario Combined Driving board so if you have any questions about our shows let me know...We have one coming up in a couple of weeks that has dressage and cones in th...
I just bought a new dressage jacket from Hayward Sportswear that is just amazing! They are made of cashmere so its really light weight (which is great on those really hot days!) and it fits just right. They are at a lot of hunter/jumper shows at R...
No problem! I meant to say that its a little different if you have a stallion getting approved. They must do a test infront of the inspectors, but if they are too young you can have them approved for now ona temporary liscence and then go back and...
I have done the NASPR with 2 of my ponies and helped out with many others (all ages). For my 2 older geldings they had to be led in hand on a hard surface at a walk away and towards the inspectors. We then would go into an arena (or safe paddock) ...
It was so nice today I just had to go for a ride! The footing in our outdoor ring is perfect and the sun was so nice and warm (finally!). I have a great new coach and we have gone to 3 shows so far and won all of them so far! (there wasnt a whole ...
Have you checked out the American Sport Pony website? If not there are a bunch of inspection dates and farms where they are held. I see that you are in the US and I dont know of any that are held close by to you. You will need to take her to an in...

- About Me:
- I'm currently on the board for OCDA (Ontario Combined Driving Association)
My boyfriend and I have 2 welsh ponies that he drives in Combined Driving Events all over the place, most of them are in the states so we travel all through the summer!
I'm starting to train a cob, Roger, which I plan on doing some dressage shows this year and I have starting his driving training. I hope for him to be a star! He has been so far, so lets cross our fingers! He just got some new harness made for him that we brought up from PA, and hes getting his own carriage built as we speak. What a spoiled pony!

Diana said… - I hear you on the fun of riding this winter. Yesterday was the first and second time I've ridden since Nationals in mid-October. I re-backed Finnegan and backed for the first time Rocky 2 of the New Forests I've been working with over the winter. Something about wanting to thub not snap if I happened to come off was holding me back.
With Finnegan I can go full steam ahead as last winter we were walk trotting. Rocky is going to be a tad bit slower but once I have him confidently walking and trotting him I hand him over to the Level 2 Eventing Coach who also rides at the barn and get the next beastlie going.
Darlene called me the other night and gave me some of the dates for the pony shows - confirmed are the usual 5-7 that she handles for the Star Search. Definitely Pause-A-Tively Ponies, NEWPA, Sutton, Barrie, Jokers Hill, Summerfest and CNE are confirmed.

Thank you for your lovely comment about Rhumba's head shot. She is such a nice mare and we all love her. The small picture is her with her 2007 foal.

- I too had to work most of the holidays. I work Xmas Day at Touch N Go, got Boxing Day and New Year's Day off but had to work the Saturday of both weekends
Sorry to hear you folks are down and out with the flu. Poor Hunter as he really can't tell you how he's feeling. How's Darlene's back?
Sorry to hear about the wind storm damage to the truck and fencing.
Take care and see you soon - any word on the dates for the 2009 Star Search Qualifiers?

- Had a good holiday - here and there when I got days off.
Wind storm last weekend took the fiberglass roof off the trailer (repairable once the wind dies down and it's not freezing out) and some sheet metal off the front of the barn (again repairable).
How was your holiday?
