What to expect at your first dressage show
Posted in Dressage, Horse Show, tagged Dressage, Horse, horses on October 30, 2009 | 8 Comments »
So I wanted to write this post for Melinda, who is going to her very first dressage show this weekend. I know that some of these things sound silly, but I didn’t start riding dressage all that long ago and I remember all the things I didn’t know my first time around. I hope that [...]
Taking A Step Out Of My Comfort Zone
Posted in Horse on October 29, 2009 | 10 Comments »
One of my pet peeves is when people become so caught up in one discipline that they think nothing that anyone else does ever has any value. For example, the crappy boarder at my barn is a hunter rider. Who cares right? Except that when the barn owner decided to run a clinic with a [...]
I know I am crazy…

So I have decided that as crazy as it might sound, I am going to go to the show on Sat with Phoenix. I was able to talk to the show manager and so instead of trying training 3 and training 4 like I had wanted to do at this show, I am going to [...]
Moment of silence for a good pony

I just received this heart breaking e-mail in my inbox from Gennyral’s massage therapist. You know the kind of e-mail where you read the e-mail title and go, “I hope this isn’t what I think it is”, but it is. If she says it is time, then I know it is time, but it still [...]
What is a Prix Caprilli?
Posted in Dressage, Horse, Horse Show, Texas, tagged Horse, horses, prix caprilli on October 26, 2009 | 9 Comments »
A Prix Caprilli is a dressage test with jumps in it! And I wish that more shows offered it. I realized that many show managers do not know what it is so they can not add it to a class list. And while I have never done a prix caprilli myself, they look like a [...]

I rode!!!

It is currently pouring rain outside. So loud that my cell phone rang before and I didn’t even hear it. I was dying to get on Phoenix though. He has been sound for almost a week already and been going out, but I have been so busy I have not had the time to get [...]
There is something so sad…

About giving your grey horse the last bath of the year. Yesterday, it was an unseasonable 70 degrees so I had to take advantage and get one last bath in on Gen. Why am I saying last? Because the chances of it being above 70 again are slim. Gen is already growing in a nice, [...]
One of my favorite horse charities is in the spotlight…
Posted in Dressage, Horse, tagged Horse, horses on October 22, 2009 | 1 Comment »
So I am sure most of you (like myself) get piles of horse related junkmail each year. There is always some organization looking for money to save some horse or other. I am not a fan of giving to large charities though. If the right place comes along and I can afford to give, I [...]
