I think what was kinda funny, was as we left the festival that day, my oldest son handed me his copy of the CMSAs Rundown magazine...and on page 28 there was a...
The last time I talked to Dottie she was all gung ho about it. Apparently having some real fun. I don't know if the photo is her or not. I traveled from...
Well I can't wait to see more CMSA members aside (tho I'll never be able to ride like that, I'd support all the sisters). My husband is from KY, the family's...
There is something about jumping a horse over a fence, something that makes you feel good. Perhaps it's the risk, the gamble. In any event it's a thing I need....
Oh, I so fall into the back yard rider category! Except, I do take my horse places and I try to ride 3 days a week!   I run out to feed the horses in...
LOL...my horse trailer has stored the hay long term...until I finally got things moving to haul every weekend...now I have no hay storage. The trailer also...
Hi all!! I had an uneventful ride home and am decompressing after a cold shower. Thanks to all for another great sidesaddle weekend at the USET!! Special...
It was fun, wasn't it? I always look forward to both Kit and Shelly's events up there. I am awestruck by the facility every time I go through it. So much...
I just finished reading Enlightened Equitation by Heather Moffett, a British trainer/instructor. Excellent book and I was pleased to see a photo of a...
We got home late yesterday afternoon - totally exhausted!? We all had a great time and really appreciate all of the hard work that goes into organizing?a show...
Details and pictures! Also, please post your experiences on the Red Hat list. This is great PR for riding aside! Semper Obliquo (Always aside), Susan...
Hope everyone had a safe trip home. Saturday's pictures have been posted, and Sunday classes should be posted this evening.  www.bhsphotography.com  ...
Us too!? Arrive home in record time - not sure when I had such clear sailing down I-95 before.? Only 10 hours to get home.? Yes, we are exhausted too. But, it...
http://www.thehorse.com/ViewArticle.aspx?ID=12702  I still don't know how I feel about the cloning thing. To have Zippy, Sheik, Korporaal, Prayer or JR...
I too have read Enlightened Equitation. I like the book. It made a lot of sense to me.   I have always been a big fan of a pelham and now I understand...
Wow, It would take me forever to explain and I read the book so long ago that I might not explain it right. I think it went off the basis of being able to...
What I woudn't give to have Onyx and Mystique Noir cloned and have the DNA strand twitched so they would both be SCID clears. As it is Mystique is a son and a...
As an English Rider ( not only English but from the UK and a Side Saddle Rider) I was taught from a very early age to ride with a double bridle . ( a bridoon...
Onyx hates pelhams. HATES them. He loves the Monte Foreman western Pelham, but the straight shanks on the English- forget it. He probably wouldn't read her...
I've not read the book but have used a pelham often. Just a guess which leads to a question: Could she like the pelham over a double bridle because of the...
IMHO, a well-fitted double bridle should be quite comfortable for a horse that is experienced in tack and quite accustomed the curb action of a Pelham bit. The...
... I get wary when people advocate a bit that "aides in self-carriage" because self-carriage comes from behind, not the front. While some horses can be...
Deb, I've seen that, but my husband was awful doing that. his horses just had to compensate, but then I couldn't ride his horses and always have to be hard on...
Ladies, This is totally off topic, but if anyone is driving around Middleburg I have a request to make. Last weekend while shooting a show down at Foxcroft...
Robin, This is the property listing you're looking for: http://www.thomasandtalbot.com/foxcroft/index.htm I bought a horse from here once. With a little TLC,...
Thanks for your input, Deb and Devon. Â Bruce didn't realize what a large piece of property it is; he was thinking that it was just the house and outbuildings...
