I Rode My 1st Dutch WB!

Posted by Ali on January 28, 2010

I’ve ridden a lot of horses, not as many as a world renowned trainer or clinician, but I’ve ridden my fair share for an amatuer. Mainly thanks to my first trainer. He feels people learn more riding a variety of horses instead of riding one all of the time. Now he would let me ride [...]

Annie & The Bosal

Posted by Ali on January 19, 2010

Annie’s 4th Ride!

Posted by Ali on January 3, 2010

Turns out she was in heat when we took this video. Karen said she saw Annie teasing her gelding over the fence within a day of this video being taken. And watching the video back, she was swishing her tail quite a bit! Also, the gelding she was teasing kept calling for her while we were riding, not very helpf [...]
