I do know that in our case the girl was told that she could have no refusals x-c. I also know that the judges were trying to stop her, and I know that she was boasting on her walk back that she was...

At an event this fall a girl, going training, was eliminated after the 3rd jump in stadium. As is often the case these days, she was told she could go x-c but could have NO refusals.
She...

We went to a jumper show this weekend. My girls had not been jumping much this winter so wanted to just do the puddle jumper division.
Anyway, my 11 year old ended up being the first to go in her...

Exactly our situation now and I could not have said it better.
My 14 year old knows way more about what here horse does and does not need than I do.
My 11 year old is still in the process. For...

Has anyone noticed the price of shipping lately?
Also, the hassle of buying on line is that you must wait for your goods.

My point is that if the local retailers wanted to be competitive, they...

Agree with Yellowbritches.
Our regular instructor is in the process of getting hers but only to create options for herself.
She, quite frankly, has not been impressed with the certification...

My daughter did the area 2 YRAP camp a few years ago. That camp is right on the VA/NC boarder.The camp was awesome the first year she did it. They rode twice a cay, had excellent instruction,...

I have no problem with his "goals". My kids have done many of them already! I just thought maybe his presentation was a bit demeaning to kids.
I guess maybe he is frustrated like the previous...

Does the pony get turned out with other horses?

Found them! Great goals, but his attitude about kids....not so much.:no:

Maybe he thought he was being funny?

So..... what are the goals? :)

Okay;)

I realize this is a bit off topic, but I could not let such a silly comment go.
I guess somebody needs to try and poke their head outside "the box" and breath in some fresh air:eek:
I suppose I...

We were in the exact same position as yourself just a few short years ago! My daughters are now 14 and 11 and doing great!
We tried pony club when my girls were younger and it was not a good...

There is also a jumper series at frying pan park over the winter. They have already had the first couple. They do them once a month in the indoor.

Just letting you guys know that pictures are up at GRC!

As a parent of two young eventers I want to address what I think is the "problem" with parents.
In my limited observations I have come to realize that many of these parents are totally clueless...

Thanks for the response guys! While there are exceptions, it sounds like it is almost genetic that they love kids!
Interesting about the animals, because the same tb that used to let my 5 year...

I remember when my daughter was around 5, we brought a tb in through a boarder and he LOVED my daughter. He was known for being pretty hot. Off the track and had lots of go. But somehow we...

Hunters and dressage are both sports looking for "that perfect ride". Consequently, both disciplines attract that certain type of person that can be a bit.....shall we say anal? :-)
Eventing is a...

I too was glad for the disclaimer in the beginning. I sat back and laughed at the video. All I could think was how impressive those guys were at doing their very best, in the most precarious of...

very well said! My kids are 11 and 13, so much closer in memory to those days of their difficult pony. They started on a guy that had the biggest heart, but was scared of his own shadow! They got...

This thread makes me wonder what percentage of upper level riders started out on ponies like this?
Is there any other way to develop the heart, and seat to go to the top?
My kids started out on...

And underweight can often times be an indicator that the horse is in some kind of pain, no? :eek:
We are horse shopping as well, and I have decided that people only want to show you their...

Ok, that was a little strange for me :D
