Awareness of the outside world. One Bud Wiser: So You Want to Horse Show in Canada August 2025. Old hat to some folks. I found it fascinating.

Stopped by an Interscholastic Equestrian Association last week. High school & grade school riders, horses by draw, and way too many kids with the exact same outfit. The hunter world needs to lighten up. When the dressage world is sportier than you are, it’s time to examine your underlying premises.

On the upside, I haven’t been around that many helmets in a long time.

OTOH, their ribbon game is excellent. Check out how the side color on one ribbon becomes the main color on the next ribbon.

When you got attitude, put a bow on it.

No riding. Strictly spectating. Coach Deana, of Razzy fame, coaches one of the teams. [Setting A Jump Record, Sorta most recent lesson]
