    Song for canter rhythm

    Here we teach children with Row row row your boat. Mary had a little lamb is the walk rhythm, Twinkle Twinkle little star is the trot. Em

    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...

    William Fox-Pitt Clinic - Report

    More in depth report of the clinic. Ok so here's what I have.... For Day 1 I have 3 videos. Let me try to explain. William works a lot on straightness and going with a horse that wants to go over the jump and be forward, in the sense that it's doing what's asked and happy about it. He set...

    William Fox-Pitt Clinic - Report

    Fabulous plan... Only one hiccup. Cudo won't go near, let alone IN, water jumps. He's really clear on his feelings on that. But as a show jumper, he only has to clear water. Which he's exceptionally talented at. Emily

    What would you compromise on when buying a new horse?

    I mean... I agree that it's horse specific but there are some things. 1) Any possibility of a neurologic disease is a big no (Hence why we do neuro exams and shoot films of the neck and aim towards older horses) 2) I don't shoot down x-rays without a radiologist consultation and real world...

    Hi @Ratface Cudo is a German bred Hanoverian by Escudo I out of a Calypso II mare. His dam was herself out of a Sandro mare. https://horsetelex.com/horses/pedigree/2005969/el-cuador He's 16.3 and built very much uphill. I've been incredibly fortunate with him and I just cannot believe how...

    Still Alive in the USA..AND...Cudo gets to meet and be trained by William Fox-Pitt soon!!!!

    Recap video from a couple moments from our lesson with our regular trainer today. He did a great job and got a solid reminder about waiting and listening. Also nice to have him paying attention and not just deciding for himself. Not a bad thing at a show, but letting me have a say for a second...
