"So regret not having discovered Eventing sooner! I've been eventing about 10 years now and it never gets boring; always something new to learn, courses to conquer, and dressage to work on. Best part of course is XC. Hands down. I think it…"

Hey, guys!Have you even ridden cross country? If so, what was your favorite part?I really like cross country riding because it really tests how the horse and rider work together. If there isn't trust between the two, it's not going to go well. You have to trust the horse to do what you ask, and the horse has to trust to not to put it in a bad position. I think it's super cool to watch how the horses/riders work together in the tough situation. Why do you like or dislike cross country? Does your…See More

A blog post by Gillian Warner was featuredSwitch Rides!!
Hi guys! :)Today, my friends and I did some switch rides! Our horses are all pretty different, so it was a great experience to figure out how to ride them well. All of the horses were great and I'm so glad that we did this today because it gave me a lot to think about when I'm riding my horse - is there anything that I figured out today that I want to try with my horse? Have you guys ever experienced this? If so, what did you learn from riding another horse? Did you use this in any way to help…See More
Jackie Cochran commented on Gillian Warner's blog post Switch Rides!!"Switching rides taught me that every horse is DIFFERENT, and that the only way I could learn this was to ride as many horses as possible.
I now ride three different horses, two Arabs and a half-draft horse giant. This has taught me to be…"

Blog Starting
Hey guys!
I'm going to start posting blogs about what I've been doing with Erin and what's coming up for us :)
Lately, we've been really working on our dressage. Dressage isn't our strongest point, and since Erin's a Quarter horse, it's sometimes harder for me then people with warmbloods or TBs that naturally move uphill. If anyone has any pointers or tips on how to get better dressage scores and ideas on how to keep a horse moving nicely uphill while they're round that would…
