I too am an aging Dressage Lover. I will be soon 58 in June and it makes me pause to wonder how many years I do have left on a horse...many I am sure. My horses are all young too, so if I do not...

LOL After reading this thread it may surprise you all to know that some people have never even heard of this girl, or her family. We all don't care out East here! :):):):):)

No one is this...

Both of the saddle you mention are what I call "middle of the road" saddles. They don't set you heart to pitter=patter, but they will do the job. Courbettes & HDRs can have leather issues, hard on...

Keep working, keep taking lessons, and keep the trying to get more out your lovely relaxed horse. I have to give the kudos to the camera worker! The horse ears in the pics were too cute. :) I...

LOL :):):):):):)

Any horse under 10K!

Heck...go for it! If you want to really live wild get the boots made of alligator, or stingray! Wow, both are outrageously beautiful to behold. One pair I saw at the World Cup were black stingray...

Have any of you watched this video?

I enjoyed it! :):):)

:(:(:(:(

Not a chance in hell that an American will even place. Sad, and should get the bells and guns out for the next ten years around the states. (I hope!)

"It was announced the day before yesterday, that Matinee will not be on the
Danish OL team. New scannings of her leg reveal an uncomplete recovery. The
vet and Andreas have agreed not to train...

It means more power, period. If a horse is running flat out he is covering ground, if he is coming over his topline and moving forward to the bit his conformation can make this task easier or more...

Yes, I believe your instructor is correct. Horses with an uphill, and correct (for dressage) neck coming out of the withers and shoulder high are more forward, and harder to ride for the novice.

I am so glad so many of you take the time to ride for *YOU*, and do not sit home wishing they had ridden yesterday, or today. GET out there! Life is extremely short, live it large, or bigger than...

I wish more judges judged the rides like this. I have a student, a kid, only 16 and she is only doing Intro. She is getting the concepts down, and is a ready student, but having the horse at a...

With a matching Anky Pad! Tres chic! :):):):):):):)

Love the colors.

The discussion about draw reins is a no win argument. If you really know how to ride, you will never need them, if your talents lie elsewhere then you might succumb to their fast results. They are...

Not all HA is the same. Lubrisyn works better due to the higher molecular weight, I too tried the human Synovial 7 with no results, and when my friend noted her horse doing better on Lubrisyn than...

I mix it in a glass of water and take my "regular" pills for the day. I will try to get it to a minimal dosage, but less does not help my knee. I do not know what to tell you, maybe less arthritis...

I loaded with about 15 cc daily, and am down to about 7cc now for daily. If I have a bad day I take a bit more for an afternoon "punch" back to ten or fifteen. It only lasts about twenty hours, I...

I'm in the bone on bone area too, I'm still walking. Riding is actually easier than walking, the leg is very loose, I hardly use them other than lightly. I've been greatly helped by taking...

:) I'd like to meet this judge and give her/him a big kiss. How entertaining is that list? Great material, I hope it was all true! :)

LOL I know..I know...I know. I'm so old now, so very tired of hearing about *Pokey* and how great he is____and then I see Pokey. :):):):):):):)

When you trot around the ring as many times as I...

Looking for ANY horse to do dressage is my biggest PET PEAVE. If you want to ride dressage look for a horse who CAN do dressage. Breeds are a matter of personal preference, but try to get a level,...

I'd rather get a truthful rude comment than see a test with only numbers on it and two word statements like: "needs bend", "too slow", "too quick", too______". The truth can set you free!

And,...

I also salute you and your courage to take this on while recovering with Chemo. This has to be hard on your body, and then taking on a youngster......this is a LOT of work. More power to you.

Be humble. Be honest, and listen. There is nothing worse than a rider showing who thinks they know more than the person teaching. :( <Yeah, I have seen this more than once.>
