HI Brenda
I am thinking of learning to drive myself. There are a couple of clinics being offered by Ontario Driving Association sometime in the spring. I am going to attend to see if I like driving.
Maureen
That is a nice shot. I think you are one of the first Canadian Riders I have seen featured in the clinic. Well done.
This is a group for Baroque Horse owners. These are Andalusians, PRE, Lusitanos, Friesans and Lipizzaners, or crosses. Please post a message if you own one and what kind of a discipline you are currently doing.
I agree, Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.
Hi Gary
Good for you. I started riding at 47 for the first time in my life. Prior to that I barely new horses existed. Once I was in the saddle, it was hard to get off. I am still on 11 years later, with my own horse and doing some dressage competi…

- About Me:
- I am a dressage rider. I have been riding for about 10 years. I have a Lusitano gelding that is 6 years old and I started showing him last year. He is a good guy but at times can be a bit of a brat. I enjoy showing him as I never know what to expect. He never ceases to surprise me.

- Hi Mary-Joe,
Your name just seemed to pop up on the page I was looking at!
Thanks for the compliments & your gelding is very handsome too. I love his dark points; will they stay?
I'm hoping to do my mentoring at the Pickering Horse Centre since it's not too far a drive and there should be lots of opportunity to observe given the large lesson program. Will let you know how I make out ;-)
Yes, I'm on Face Book too!
Take care,
Julie

Cindy Jeffery said… - Hi Mary-Joe, I looked all over and can't find the video I think I leant it to someone. I'm sure you can find it on Google. Oh, my horse Ryn has very interesting markings, in that picture he does look like a buckskin but he is actually a dun with a grey dorsal stripe, also champagne colored legs and dappling allover his body, light in some areas. His mane and tail is silver. His dam was a champagne mahogany chestnut and his sire is a dun with amber eyes and a silver mane and tail. In my breeding program when I was still breeding morgans I bred for this plus the temperament they carry, and when I quit I didn't realize what I had and gelded them. Talk about kick myself around the block. Anyway, the most important thing is how sweet they are and how trainable too.

- Hi Barbara
You are very welcome to come up, as long as you let me invite myself down to your neck of the woods one day. I live in Milton, Ontario which is north of Toronto. The Region is called Halton and it boasts one of the more lovely picturesque areas. Halton is a big horse country that is why I live here. It also boasts the Niagara Escarpment which is a protected green belt with fauna and flora. Milton is a small town and growing, (and everybody seems to be discovering it of late). I hate it when that happens. Anyway within 5 minutes I am out in the country. I plan to buy a small horse property (provided I win the lottery when I retire. (I keep dreaming).
Cheers
Mary-Joe

- Thanks for taking the time to leave me that message ..
Ohhhhh my gosh Mary-Joe ... we have our "Moms" in common.
After falling a little over a year ago, and fracturing both her hips, my Mom has gone from bad to worse and we finally made the Very painful decision to place her in a full care facility ... the last time I visited, she didn't even know me ... it really hurt.
You're Right my friend ... it really puts into perspective how short our days honestly are ... and for me ... that we need to live each day as Best we can, to the Fullest... Delight in our accomplishments and ...NEVER ...allow regrets, or ANY Negative .. to steal our hopes, and dreams ... Our Rainbows!!!
(of course ... it's always easy to say the positive stuff, not always as easy to live it ..*wink* )

- Hi Mary Joe,
Yes I am the same person that tested you. I heard you were boarding at Carols. I think I saw you at the Goldenwoods dressage show? I was there with some of my students.
Are you having a good season?

Dallas Grubenmann said… - Hi Mary-Joe, I do have a good hauler that has brought and taken many horses for me through Cnada and he travels to the US. I do also have a DVD of her that I can send to anyone interested. I just hate to see her going to waste:) Thanks for helping get the word out about her. She is a nice mare, too nice to be wasted on a silly eventer like me:)

- Hello, I have a beautifu baroque style Friesian/Warmblood mare for sale that really needs to find a good Dressage home. I am just trying to put the word out. I am an eventer and she would be much better off in a Dressage home. If anyone knows someone that might be interested she is on my website www.ptfponypower.com . Thanks
