    Hi again from the USA.... I need some help...AND this is a big ask Ireland/Co Clare in 70's

    So in the process of discussing pedigrees of event horses current and very far past I stumbled onto a mystery. The horse "The Gray Goose" a perennial eventing star of the 70's and 80's has a bit of a mystery with regards to his damline. Since he was born in Ireland and given how many "Unknowns"...

    Alternatives to Sprenger Bow Balance stirrups?

    I'm with @GreyDot The Opera's changed my riding 180 degrees and improved things tremendously. And they have a safety aspect to them as well. The stirrup can expand to allow a foot to fall out given that it's two separate arms. Em

    All of over here (USA) are devastated. One question that has come up is "Was the log into the water pinned with a frangible system?" We don't know. The cross country app shows the pics but no mention of whether it had a pin. We've gotten a huge grant over here to provide frangible devices to...

    Kentucky 5*

    I am going to TRY to say something here and remain more objective if possible. I have known the Davidson's since 1992 when I first was fortunate enough to go to Chesterland (their farm, 5 mins from where I am sitting right now) and participate in a fund raising clinic for Bruce to raise money to...

    Kentucky 5*

    Nope. That's his son. "Buck" Though Bruce himself was competing at a local event a couple weeks ago. He did the Training level and was 5th. (So roughly a 100 level event there) Em

    You need the promo code. THAT makes it free when you sign up for the FIRST time. If you have signed up in the past, you cannot use the promo code to make it free. It's USEFK3DE2024 SO MANY TIMES! I used to work as a equestrian Journalist and have covered Kentucky (Rolex, Land Rover, etc...

    Video OMG he turned a corner. Cudo is starting to wait. (:

    I promise I don't know.! ☺️ I'm just hopeful that we can learn some more together before he says it's time to step down a bit. But he's in such a great place right now. He's aging like a fine wine. Though I think the 2 light/off years are helping keep him going. (COVID 2020 and last year) Em

    Video OMG he turned a corner. Cudo is starting to wait. (:

    This is a glorious post to update with. ESPECIALLY if you were one of those folks who saw the videos where Cudo is rushing fences at home and we both looked wildly less skillful than we actually are and look at competitions. Saturday I had my latest lesson with my trainer/coach Priscilla. We...

    Song for canter rhythm

    Caroline March

    So, not quite 24 hours of contemplation and I remain firmly fixed in the category of folks that commend her. Not just accepting her actions, but applauding them. Someone has to rejoice when people say "Screw the world... this is what's best for me." I know it seems odd, but this ranks, for me...

    Different Strokes for different folks.... What do you look for???

    A couple times I have started threads like this, but I am curious from the side of the pond that you all are on, when you go to look at a horse for yourself, what do you prioritize and what do you not worry about as much? I know that riding, training, daily things and trends vary between the...

    Feeling disheartened

    Ok so lets pull the string a bit... What happens in your mind when you go into the ring? Are you having your own bit of worry since she has shown you her worries? Do you have any videos to show what it looks like? Even if just pm'd to someone so we can objectively see/hear what it looked...

    William Fox-Pitt Clinic - Report

    ** WARNING: LONG. You can skip down ;) ** William Fox Pitt - Day 2 – 3/6/24 So as a reminder at the end of Day 1, I was feeling particularly good about the work with Cudo and that our efforts to be prepared in time were definitely paying off. As a ‘Rest of the story’ moment I am going to...
