Looking for a chestnut trakehner gelding named Le Roi. He is now 9 years old. I sold him 2 years ago to a client of Ryan's. Anyone know about him?

Thanks!

I am about 99% certain I know which BNT you speak of - many people use his name as part of their advertising. The young trainer could only be so lucky to have ridden with him for that long. I bet if...

I had a stallion that did this - gelding him helped.

He would stop, pin his ears, kick out and refuse to move. carrying a whip in each hand helped. eventually he got over it when he realized I...

I have had my horses on Progressive, and seen many others in the area on it too, but none looked as good as that. Wow!

staceyk - your horse's coat is just fabulous! was it clipped?

Oh, man. Knowing all three of these guys, whoever is on that cruise is in for some rowdy times. I don't think I have been with the three of them in the same room at the same time, so someone has to...

don't you get that most people don't want to hear it anymore, slick?

we just don't believe you or your ridiculous stories.

long billets enable your girth to be shorter, and therefore the buckles lie well past your saddle flap, not up under it. It is much more comfortable, and on a dressage saddle, makes it much easier to...

DK's used to be the popular saddles in my old barn....they are comfy but kind of hard to fit properly. If you have a horse who is wide, or has small withers, good luck trying to fit them!

Because...

telling people that their horse needs to be "very, very light" in front is often a big mistake. Since we are addressing an insufficient execution of a required movement starting at first level...

I second "Hadrian". I trained a stallion by him who was started badly but was very trainable and easy to manage. Gelding him made him into the ultimate amateur mount!

I have ridden, schooled, and trained many different types, levels and ages of horses,from training never-backed youngsters to 3rd and 4th level, taking 2 3rd level horses to PSG/I1, schooling GP, to...

just had my back surgery today! I think it went well, I have no sciatic pain anymore, just the regular back pain plus the surgical trauma pain.

completely agree with USAdressage

canter work is fine, posting trot hurts more than sitting, and when the horses sneeze or trip or anything like that, that's the worst.

that was me. My coach used to have me wrap the curb of a double bridle in vetwrap to make it softer for a sensitive horse. It isn't legal at shows, though.

try it, see if it works, you may just...

I wouldn't expect anyone to have to adapt their delivery for a person they don't know! Personality and delivery is what makes a person an individual, I think.

Although, if his delivery style...

no no, that's not it at all. I have nothing but good things to say about the content of SH's teaching and his theory. I happen to think he is one of the very best young horse trainers I have seen....

I have access to a person with more experience and knowledge than Scott Hassler, so I am quite comfortable with knowing who's teaching style I prefer. After 10 years of riding with this person, I...

I have two herniations, both are extrusions. My L4/L5 is not as bad as my L5/S1. I also have S1 radiculopathy due to the L5/S1 extrusion.

I have been doing physio, select nerve root blocks (like...

I use either wraps and bell boots or Dover's fleece lined dressage boots with well boots every day. I do a lot of lateral work and one of my horses is a little narrow behind and sometimes interferes....

he gives effective advice but his delivery is really not my style...

good riding, though!

It's not...it's done so that these horses can be competed, and as we all know, tension is not usually something that makes a huge impact on the judges anyways. (at the int'l levels). Horrible, but...
