A little wardrobe help?

(pictured – Farley at lesson yesterday. Took the opportunity to get some condition shots. She looks fat here, but in reality she’s a 5. Would like to see her just a wee bit plumper) I’m going to need some help for all you dressage folks who may be reading this – skip to the bottom […] more
Rev. 4, 5, & 6

4. Do everything in rhythm to the horse. Seems kind of obvious huh? Oh, I knew about asking for my transitions at the right time, letting my arms move, timing the crop etc. But last night at my lesson, as I’m trying to keep my stupid right leg back, this came into focus – instead […] more
Inquiring minds want to know

I picked up my trailer from the shop (for details of the exciting event which placed it there, read this post). Apparently the plug was very mis-wired.

So I know it’s splitting hairs, but technically it was a “Rider-Option” pull, and if you want to get REALLY nitty-gritty it’s a “RO-L” pull. So does it matter in the big picture of everything.

Farley’s Brother

Farley’s full brother is up for sale. Here is the ad. (craigslist ad removed since link has long since come down! Edited Oct 2014) I want this horse so bad. Farley has been absolutely incredible. I’m not sure why he is recommended for a experienced rider, his breeder said as a 2 year old he […] more
