Back Soreness, Suddenly!

Ok, I'm well aware that many issues can cause a horse to get back sore, including saddle fit, traveling inverted, rider not sitting trot correctly, etc. But my horse and I have been working dressage…

Ok, here it comes. This is my opinion, everyone is entitled to their own, feel free to disagree.
If the rein contact was that light, the horse was most likely behind the bit, or 'short in neck', holding himself in behind the contact. That tightens…
This is a very common sports injury site. Get a massage therapist in, and get yourself some Sore No More to apply to the area. The arnica reacts to the injured area and will foam lightly over the stressed muscle.

This is a gorgeous, partial basketweave stamped light/medium oil saddle. 16 inch light suede seat, medium tree. I have transitioned to dressage entirely and have no need for this lovely saddle. In excellent condition - about 10 rides since I bought…
Oh yeah? Well, I think my ears give me a certain...character!
First, are you ensuring that your horse is ready for hard work? Are you warming him up in walk and working trot sufficiently, or lunging the crap out of him before you get on if he's fresh? Many times a change in the weather, the environment, or ele…
Perhaps it used to be that way, at least in the US when Dressage first started becoming popular in the 1990's. I was riding a loud colored 15 hand paint at the A rated shows at the time and getting asked "Love your mascot, but where's your real dres…
