I've done some of the Team Quest and My Quest with my RoR team and I must say that even though I'm not a massive dressage fan, I have really enjoyed doing it this way.
Definitely do both if you go to a venue. For us, we can use the scores for other National qualifications too so it's really...
Unfortunately the festive period has been a bit of a write off for me. My lack of immune system has been very difficult to manage lately and I have spent far too much time being poorly and not on my horses! Just over a week before Christmas I was struck down with proper full blown flu and...
Confidence is a funny old thing. It definitely seeps out the longer you are away from riding.
I strongly believe that your mindset on the day that it happened has something to do with how you feel when you get back on. I was already struggling with my confidence when I had my accident and had...
It might be worth watching some of the TT stuff? I've never knowingly done any natural horsemanship before but what he was showing seemed to make sense in the fact that he tells the horse where not to be, rather than where to be so it's a conscious decision by the horse. No-one was more...

Not feeling...

RO, hopefully it will just meen you are even more prepared and it goes even better.
Unfortunately my lack of an immune system caused another horrific chest infection so has put me out of action for the past couple of weeks. Rode the...

Lovely post to read. I know from experience what the right horse can do for your confidence and it seems like you have found "the one" and have a great network of people to support you.
I'm pretty good off the grey but it's fairly interesting off Sam as as soon as you start the lean he thinks it's the green light to gallop! His other, less lily livered jockeys think this is fine.....me, not so much!
So this weekend we trooped off to the Open Championships at Onley Grounds. Due to illness and injury it was my first time playing since April and as well as taking my usual horseball steed, Society Sam, I also decided that it would be a good idea to take my new Irish Draught, Koko to see what...
