At a recognized CT, it is required in the rules. At a local CT, it's up to the organizers to follow/ignore the rules.

It's really not that big of a deal! It's not "warning: don't buy abler" it's "warning: shipping takes 2-3 weeks". It's fact and the current post is not dissing anyone. Abler is not going to stop...

It's not "illegal". I've jumped plenty of oxers to verticals in the regulars and a/o's. maybe they were thinking of some local circuit that doesn't allow it?

She's stunning! I wish there was a video!

I doubled dosed my ulcer and colic prone horse last monday. he is doing great and showed no signs of ulcers or colic. The "double dose" did not kill this horse even if they very badly measured the...

Well, it turned out not so good. It does not fit the mix of my knee conformation and the sides of my horse. To get my leg on the saddle and make my knees not hurt terribly, I had to le the saddle...

I rode in one in the parking lot of the tack store at a walk (200 miles from home) and now have it this week for a real trial. Most stubbens don't fit this horse because they are too banana shaped....

I am sorry for your situation and I understand how you feel. It does sound like you have decided what you want and what works best for you (which in this situation is the same thing), but only you...

Teaching a slow, relaxed horse to go faster is so much easier than slowing a fast, axious, or anticipating horse. A horse that requires a kick to get to the fence has had poor training in 99% of...

Ernie is still there and he is doing a clinic in the Portland area the first weekend of June.

There website is onceuponahorsedressage.com the website is not overly complete so, you'll just have...

Me, me, me!! We'll be doing doing our first level freestyle to transformers music! Look for the obvious h/j crossover doing a freestyle :D I remember my first dressage test, my horse thought the side...

What are these? Just kidding :D

The last three saddle I've tried, I used nice, clean calfskin stirrup leathers. No marks, saddles looks brand new. The last tack store said "you're the first to...

I was thinking about hydrophaning it, but I don't have much experience with buffalo leather and would hate to hurt my new saddle just to find out something that everyone else already knew! That's why...

Thanks!

Hahaha! Ya...

Does it wash well? I've had it for three years and always dry cleaned.

UPDATE: So I washed it, in a front loader and used woolite. Came out perfect and surprisingly, I don't have to iron it, it...

Hey guys! My new saddle is set to arrive soon:D I'm very exicted, but have never owned buffalo leather anything! So, what do I do to break it in and then what will my regular conditioning be? I have...

When I get stuck , I watch the Janet Brown/ Peter Steffans symposium on youtube. Its great visualization!

I lived in the southern Idaho desert, but go to school in Oklahoma where summer are significantly more humid. My horse does MUCh better in the humid climate than back at home where it is dry. I'm...

It was an article, not a book. I bet it was edited down. It's a good start of understanding the basic principle of a half-halt to a rider that does know dressage or have an instructor. For those...

You can pay the instructor for the lesson where someone is riding your horse. As long as you do not pay the rider, no one's status is affected except the one teaching the lesson ;)

I competed my horse in the "juniors" at youngriders when I was 18 and he was 8, so not quiet the same, but I'll give you my story anyways! My horse was shipped over as a late 4 year old because...

It's fine... just reduce it back over a few days just in case she's super sensitive.

Batadine Scrub!!! Not kidding, it works on anything that's not a severe grass stain. Apply plenty, scrub with a short plastic kitchen srubby... leave on for 10 minutes, scrub again and rinse.

Well, it depends on how much your braider is already charging and how nice the braids turn out despite your horse's behavior. If the braids are really nice and you're only being charged $40, I'd say...
