    Dressage markers

    Where should the horse be in relation to the market when changing pace on a marker? I was always taught that the transition should be when the rider is level with the marker but then have seen somewhere it should be when the horses hard is on the marker. I am confused now

    Clipping a nervous horse!

    Camp report with pictures

    Took pony to a 2 day camp at somerford last weekend. Bit nervous as last time we went he had a major meltdown and the xc was a total disaster. He is a very quirky and stressy pony and can lose the plot easily. Day 1 got there and settled in ok. First session was gridwork in the arena. Set off...
