Saddle Seat Wednesday I think of dressage and saddle seat as a Venn diagram. For a low value of x, both are English-style horseback activities that do not involve jumping. The ultimate dispensation of x will require those more knowledgeable that I. The distance between the two is so small relative to how far awayContinue reading “The Cone Theory of Interdisciplinary Riding”

Dressage June 2017: We Leg Yield, Who Knew?
Rodney and I had our third dressage lesson with Mr. E. [March, May]. We went for the full 45 minutes. No quitting early for us. We trotted. A lot.

On the grand scale of things, it remains pitiful. On our personal scale, it was FANTASTIC. A few of the strides where the bestContinue reading “Rodney’s Dressage May 2017”
Styling, Or Not
Saddle Seat Wednesday Over the years, I have compared saddle seat to dressage [In A Nutshell]. Probably because they are both on the flat. Now I’m thinking that saddle seat has more in common with hunters. And that’s not a good thing for me. In jumpers, cross-country, and show jumping (phase 3 of eventing), theContinue reading “Styling, Or Not”
Different Versions of the Same Thing
V is for Versions. If you are joining me from Blogging A To Z, welcome! Since the blog is already daily, with topics for each day [About: Schedule], there is no specific A To Z theme.
