I think this is the right one: http://equisearch.com/horses_riding_training/english/eventing/karen_teddy_crosscountry_062508/ :)

Nope, Pippa Funnell won it on two different horses - Supreme Rock (Badminton Winner), and Primmore's Pride (Burghley and Kentucky Winner)

I believe "Badders" means Badminton :)

I'm going to second Boyd Martin - I rode with him back in July 2009, and had a FANTASTIC time. Stadium was challenging but without much height (perfect for all levels), and cross country was really...

I rode in an Ainsley, which worked perfectly for my extremely long thigh. I think I spent a good 6-9 months looking for a saddle that fit! It's actually for sale right now as I don't have a horse...

Ariats have bottoms that are very similar to the ones you posted - no velcro, which I love!

At 5'11'' with long legs (like most of the other posters on this thread!), Ariats have consistently...

Finally Found/Finally Found Him
Crescent Moon (like 302style said above)
Maybe something to do with Germany/German names, since he's a German warmblood?

Sure thing! Sent you a PM :)

I ride in an Ainsley Pro National Cross Country (which I'm actually trying to sell right now ;)). Similar to you, I'm 5'11'' with a *long* thigh, and the Ainsley has worked really well for me.

My...

I've got a few (none of them are great - stadium is definitely my worst phase! :p)

I'm not completely sure, but I think these are good examples of "back legs trailing": (Just warning you, these are *very* old and horrible photos!)

The paddocks at my barn are 40' by 60', with about 12' in between each (great for driving tractors down, riding in between the paddocks, etc) :)

I would take a look at www.socalequest.com - people often post when they have stalls available at private facilities, and the site's list of boarding stables might include some you hadn't heard about...

Just fyi, Buddy and Vanessa Brown are moving to the Stanford Red Barn (near Woodside) as of Jan 1, 2010 :winkgrin:

I also have scoliosis, but not as severe as your daughter. Yes, it hurts to ride (but some days, it hurts to sit). However, as my back and core have gotten stronger, through a series of exercises...

Definitely agree about Twin and Inavale! :)

I went to Inavale this year for the first time, and it was just fantastic. I loved the forested XC course (which was maxed out at N, T, and P, I...

My horse recently had a suspensory injury, so I'm looking for a horse to ride! I've evented up to Novice level (on both made and green horses), jumped up to 3'9'', competed upper training-level...

I absolutely loved Inavale, in Oregon. I competed there for the first time this year, and after competing on California dirt, the grass footing and the wooded XC course was just lovely :) Many of the...

I live in the Bay Area, about 45 minutes south of San Francisco. While it is more expensive here, you can't get the same salary anywhere else. If you live in between SF and Woodside/Portola Valley...

I've run N for two years, and have never NOT wheeled the course! :lol:

I like to know where my minute markers are so if something should happen (I've been known to get lost on course ;)), I will...

Oh, Heather, I'm so sorry. My hugs and thoughts go out to you, John, and Merlin. Thank you for sharing such a touching story.

-Emily (and Bodie)

I'll be there to cheer on THF (^) and the rest of the barn, and to start-time the XC divisions, both Saturday and Sunday :)

I'll be there! Riding in the Novice division on my boy :)

Oops, I wasn't aware that not everything had changed. I'm excited for the new Novice course though! :)



It *should* definitely be open as soon as the May event ends.

Just a note - the organizers at Woodside have recently COMPLETELY changed the course around! :) It's running in the opposite direction, so I'm not sure how relevant the information above is (as I...
