I think sometimes that I get EVERYONE mad, LOL. I try to see both sides. I can get the 'pro's' AND the 'anti's' both mad at me, right with the same post, LOL!
But I am trying to see both sides, and think about both. I have a different way of lookin…
I'll join the porch meeting - even though ice tea right now is too easy. I can take normal tea and put it outside. After 5 minutes it will be ice tea. Here is -10 today.

Due to you, Anna, and sic2, I no longer believe that the hyperflexion is a torture from hell IF DONE PROPERLY. I am having a lot of new thoughts, but I think that in regular dressage there is a tendency to get the horse's head high too soon for the…
This is what we have to do if we are ever going to learn anything. There isn't any other way.
It is very refreshing to read your view of hyperflexion, you mentioned that you do not train in the method however you are able comment on the method in what I find, as a rider of the method, a very reasonable and furthermore enjoyable discussion. W…
That must have been a different trainer than the one who told Patrick Kittel what to do on Scandic lately :-))
Trainers do vary, but Scandic had years of problems with his tongue, one gal told me, from the moment he was first saddled. And from the…

Thanks for the good explanation to both of you Anna and Shimmer. However I still see some issues I don't understand. I can see how you do…
So with what you learned in the Netherlands, how did they explain you what to do?
I had instruction just about every moment I was schooling a horse the entire time I was there. It took me a long get the feeling. I am not sure how to explain how they…

- We breed arabians, warmbloods and mixes for sport horse purposes. I love dressage and train in classical dressage style.

I pride myself on having exceptionally well mannered colts and fillies that are a breeze to start under saddle.

- It is a bit of a challenge with a baby in toe!!! What have you done at the shows you've been to? The spring season has just started for us, went to Monarto HT on the weekend. Did an absolutely crap dressage test!!! can't remember ever being stone motherless last before. I got a bit tence before the test because I couldn't find some gear, so that didn't help. Oh, we got two thirds at the Royal Adelaide Show in the Section 4's. So that was good. The jumping phases at the HT were much better, Itchy's first Prelim round(95cm) had two silly stops x-country, but jumped a cracker of a round showjumping. 16th at the end.Glad to here you are doing some teaching again. Cheers Geoffrey

HMcD said… - Yeah, a gypsey vanner, but also known as a 'gypsey cob', they're used here in the riding schools, which is where 'Merry Gerry' came from, they retired him, he was hard work, only I could get him going, so whenhe came up for sale I bought him. He's a real plod, I love him and he look after me, I'm still very much a novice.
Love your videos,
catch you later.

Kay Froehlich said… - wow... you do have quite a house hold! but in such a great way.
i love arabs... this summer i rode with a girl who does endurance riding and i rode a couple of her arabs... so sweet.... and it taught me a lot about posting.. ha ha!! but not sure at 56 if endurance is for me...
i just want to cruise along... no hurry...
Perfect is a TWH... and will be about 15' 2 hands... he is a little love.
I could not have asked for a better horse to help me with my new experience... It will be fun taking long walks and experiencing everything that there is to see and do. he is really good about my toucing him all over his body and when i slide my hand to his pastern and say 'hoof up' he is so good about it... but in the hing legs i have to ask more directly!
i don't have any specific plans for Perfect other than to love him and ride him when he is ready.... and who knows... maybe more... but for now... it is bonding and ground manners for this little guy:)

- Hi,
I'm still fascinated by the internet joining people with the same interests over the complete world. It's great!
You're probably too young to have seen the Olympics in Bromont, Canada yourself, but just if you want to see something unusual,- check the show jumping course in the 2nd round of the individual competition.
Its frightening! I remember it as I saw it on TV when I was at a horse show myself. We were sitting in a tent (drinking beer) when it was shown. Already the TV was breath taking, I have a book with the details, hights, distances etc. - vvow.
Well, my best wishes for a new year!
