Our first HDT the judge actually came and talked to everyone about their dressage test! It was great. We did not do the marathon, I thought it was too much for my boys all in one day. In the cones the best advice I got was keep the red on the right! That way you know if you are going through the...

How do we find out about the shows? I am not sure where the schedule is? Do the horses have to be registered pinto first? Thanks for sharing!

Not sure what color but he is gorgeous! Love the stripes

Sounds like colic, we do 1cc of banamine and call the vet. I walk until the vet gets there. Def don't let her eat anymore food. Check temp heart rate and gum color so you have good information for the vet good luck!

We put them in, the lightning has killed several of horses in the area so the barn keeps them from being hit by debris and lightning. Also in a panic I would hate for them to run and hurt themselves. Honestly no one is safe anywhere when there are high winds and risk of tornado we just do the...

We are in Ga it went around us, thank god, everyone I know is ok, but it was a long night of watching and praying for those in its path.

So sorry for your loss, sending my prayers

Wow! I saw you at the show! He was so handsome

Agreed! Yea he has a hard time keeping his hind end any where near under him in the cart. I just started riding bicycles with a bike group here in Alpharetta and boy going up those hills I thought because I was fit and could run riding should be easier, but it is different mussel groups. It...

My farrier was happy to teach me. He puts shoes on my big horse and checks my work after. You can ask a farrier in your area if they would be willing to teach you?

I should add that this is definitely a discussion that goes on with the ridden dressage. No one seems to agree. I was trained grand prix dressage training in Germany they do start stuff like this in hand earlier than the Spanish back ground. I found it depends on the horses conformation and hind...

Very good point. I should have gone into more details...I am only asking him for the concept, so bring him in not a super collected classically correct show quality piaffe, just touching the concept, get a step or two take him out of it. and never every day. We used to work the young horses on...

I would like add that they can not build the strength over night either. The cowboys that "break" the horse in three days have to go back and fill in the gaps that they did not have time to teach the horse in three days. Just because you can sit on the horse does not mean it is safe to ride. The...

I will keep working him then, he is still a little tight in the neck... I was trying to get a decent third level test out of him in the long lines. I am telling you it is helping his gaits so much so maybe his extended trot will be more than just front legs I just do not know how to get the...

I am glad they are putting it in there! My dressage neighbors will be calling me to tell me there is a letter about minis and driving dressage in Dressage today. We have a big farm to our left and one to our right and they are always laughing at me while I long line and drive my minis! One of...

I am not an expert at this but have several minis that I am training to drive all are different. Mine with the willingness to work are progressing faster than my strong minded ones.( I know Chief will be fancy in the harness but man he is a handful! ) With riding horses I always would take a...

Yea! He is so cute! Congrats!

I am sorry for you loss. We had a dog chew up one of our babies, If I hadn't been there he would have been killed. She was not mine but was put down. She was not mine. It was horrible and I am so sorry you had to go through this Some dogs just have a very high prey drive and that is not safe...
