Here are some pics of our Haffy Sundae at the Pony Club D rally last Sunday. One of my students is riding her.

How do I address this issue?
|
| |
Hi. My name is Lisa, and I am incapable of riding at championships. Is there a support group out there for people like me? Seriously, this is getting out of hand. Last month was the AECs, where I dropped myself out of the ribbons by pulling a rail in stadium. This weekend was the area 1 championships and I had a really... more »

Calling the Mare - Making the Corn Dolly.
|

Two facets of the ancient English custom of celebrating the new harvest were the corn mare, and the corn dolly. . Taking place after Lammas Day ("Loaf mass") which featured loaves baked with the new wheat (called there, corn) in August, the late September Harvest festival nearest the equinox featured a corn mare effigy, offered to the farmer who was late... more »

|

Hi all, Just wanted to share another wonderful trail ride with Ms. Comet! She's a superstar! A friend, not at our barn, asked if I was up for meeting her at my local Jacobsburg park. She has a young WB mare, Abby, who'd just six yrs old. There would be some "spookage" possibly. No problem, Comet's game for... more »

Heading out
|
| |
So we've been working in the ring since Pete's return to this barn and today was scheduled for hill work and bopping around on the trails. It's so essential to leave the hustle and bustle, glitter streamers and small throw rugs, mirrors etc., for the open hills and trails on a regular basis. Pete likes it and I like it. :)... more »

One thing i truly LOVE about C is that i know i get nervous and she just let's me work through it...spent the warm up part of the lesson laughing. We "worked" on lope...
