Well said, slic2!
There are two sides to every issue (sometimes there are more), and we need to be aware of all of them.
I agree that there are horses who benefit from being ridden for short periods behind the vertical, which, as you say, is RAD...
Right on, Barbara!
I'm in my 50's, and for the first time am working out separately from my riding and chores (with Heather Sansom, and she's terrific). I plan to keep riding too, and this is part of the plan, along with a careful diet and supple...
Hi, Jackie:
I'd certainly have to say that there seems to be much less of it around than there used to be! It seems to me that many of the "real horsemen" are dying off, and there are not a lot of new ones taking their places...
There are previo...

Hey, my wonderful mare finished her First Level Bronze Medal in 2008, started and finished her Second Level Silver Medal in 2008, and picked up the first 2 required scores of her Third Level Silver Medal in 2008! She's also the BC Second Level Open Champion! She is a total sweetie, really fun to train and show, and completely belies the myths about chestnut mares!
She's now (fall of 2009) finished her Third Level Medal, and started on the Fourth Level Medal. We had a short season due to my wrist and back injuries this year, but she managed to pull the scores anyway. She won her Fourth Level class (first ever) at the last show this fall and won the Division as well. She was the Reserve Champion High Score horse for the Southern Interior Dressage Association, reserve to her 1/2 sister and stablemate, Whimsical, who won the award for 2009!

- How wonderful! This is an accomplishment that speaks to your ability as a coach, horse-person and empathic being. Let me know where and when your article will be published so I can read it.
I think that the show is an excellent idea. The only think that could prevent me from attending is a client meltdown. I'm a psychotherapist and haven't been able to find anyone to cover for me when I leave town. So far every one has been relatively low risk or easily manageable. I am getting to the point where I would like to do some traveling in the cold weather, possibly look for a winter home down south a bit. I guess it's time to address the constraints my practice presents.
Thanks for the tip about Greenhawk tack. The blankets look great. I bought Dee a Weather Beeta this year and it is already filled with holes. Next year he's getting one the those bulletproff 1600D Shedrow blankets.
Great to have you back.

- Hi Jan,
Go short people! Me too, I'm 5'11/2 and shrinking, I may have less leg surface to work with but I'm probably also a lot less tolerant of a nappy horse. I just don't have those great legs to nag with.
What do you think of the idea of suggesting a Dressage Fan/Barn Mice gathering at one of the big shows? We could pick a time and all meet for lunch or dinner. The assumption is that a lot of us would be going to the shows anyhow. Laura

And...while that was great fun to write while I was soaking my ankle, LOL, the owner has already specified how she wants the horse handled, and that's the end of that.
Personally, I would stay away from the horse, especially if I wasn't an employ...
Hey, no fair! How did you two get separated?
This video is too cute - had to share with you all!
Thank you very much for responding! I really needed to hear that. Sometimes we have good days where she makes so much progress, but we more often have the bad days when I'm wondering "Why the heck did I buy this animal!?" But I'll stick with her, ...
