My mare just had an abcess drained by my vet on Monday AM also, I was able to dig deeper that evening and drain more, then my farrier was by on tuesday and drained even more after I'd soaked her hoof a few times. He told me abcesses are often in s...
Thanks all! My arena finally dried out today and I was able to try the advice. Taking more weight in my legs seems to have helped. Now just to make it consistent. The posting exercises are great for me as I'm just starting back in the saddle after...
To elaborate on W. Micklem's post, put yourself into 2-point position at the trot. Remain in it and then start to post, but maintain the angles of the 2-point. This '2-point posting' will serve as both diagnostic (helping you feel the double-bounc...

If the FEI made a rule that every dressage rider in the world had to train their horses using Rollkur than I could understand the need for people to voice opposition to the system. However the fact of the matter is that there is not a problem with...
It is no better than a witch hunt.
What the FEI needs to address is sportsmanship. When I tell people who know nothing about dressage the degree of controversy over Rollkur they ask 'Why on earth would anybody want to be involved in that sport? It sounds awful.' and they are certai...
I do not think the sentence was too long. In a situation like this, I think he was certainly old enough to be held responsible for his actions.
I do not know what the supposed logic was behind the judge giving the young man until January 8 to turn...
Does Anyone know about Connemaras?
OMG No way!! I went to Ravencrest too!!! It was a few years ago now, but I was working student for a week one summer!
I love Black Beauty - it has such a gorgeous setting, and the horses are amazing!
