I also have an eventing background :) It's very minimal in terms of competition, but I got the "ethos." I was at a dressage barn next, and got a...

Search this forum, and you'll see that at the really Big Name H/J barns, this is the norm. The horse is completely managed by the barn; all the...

My trainer preferred to use her saddle, but if the horse went better in the owner's saddle, as was the case with my horse, she'd use it.

Not much going on here. I had my second Phil lesson, and it was not quite as thrilling as the first one, but still good. My old trainer kind of...

oldernewbie, that's a nice looking horse! I can see, with the height, how some people might wonder whether he's purebred. Same thing is true for...

- Born in 1964, returned to riding in 2006 after a 25 year break. My original goal was to event -- at a low level -- before my body gave out. It did... so I now focus on enjoying my horse (a palomino Morgan mare born 1998) and dabbling in dressage and trail riding.
