I saw this video on facebook and thought it was pretty awesome… So many people think it’s a small portion of horses that can do, or should do dressage, and those groups are stereotypically dressage competitors and eventers. The thing is, that is sooooo not the case! Every person and horse should experience some dressage [...]

I got to thinking the other day.. When was the last time I rode a horse? Well… 4-5 months I believe. The weird thing is I don’t have the drive to ride right now. There are reasons, I still love horses and working with them. But this got me thinking to why I haven’t ridden… Well, we only have 1 horse that I could ride [...]

VIDEO! Angel’s NH (natural horsemanship) training is going well. She’s very willing, seems confident – i.e. knows what I’m asking and knows the difference between sensitizing/desensitizing pressures. We will continue with the natural horsemanship training a while, until I feel she can [...]

VIDEO! Annie and I are working on the shoulder-in from the ground, part of the straightness training from the Academic Art of Riding. This is the second time we tried the shoulder-in. The first time, I basically got one step from her each way and we stopped for the day. This day I think [...]

VIDEO! Annie has picked this up and is doing fabulous! She is bending her neck and bring her head in very nicely in both directions. She is left sided, so the circles to the right are harder for her, which is part of the reason I work on circles to the right a little more. I’m very fortunate [...]

This morning on facebook I came across this video (above) of reining “trainer”, asshole extraordinaire, Craig Schmersal, at the FEI Reining Final 2011 in Sweden. I’m come to realize, one way to fix this type of training is to share it, and educate people. With that in mind… Horse people… This is one of your [...]

VIDEO! This morning we took Annie over to Cincinnati Therapeutic Riding & Horsemanship to start her 90-day trial as a therapy horse for their program. I got a little bit of video of her before and after we left. Annie loaded into the trailer nicely, she was a little hesitant, but she didn’t take one step back. She put [...]

VIDEO! Mr. Brady got out twice this week to get a little work done.. Well, 3 times if you count the farrier visit, but that’s all he had to do that day! I don’t want to do too much with Brady right now, as he’s a coming 2 year old (foaled May 2009) and just don’t want to stress his joints or anything. But I would like to get his ground work going so we can have a [...]
