Phooeycakes!

Return to Hunter/Jumperland Missed it by that much! The ASHAA, the state Saddlebred Association, has a series of three summer fun shows. Last year, Milton did walk-trot at all three [1,2,3]. This year, I had considered taking him to the two local shows and skipping the out-of-town one, scheduled for last weekend. NoContinue reading “Phooeycakes!”

Dream Rides, Shows

Adventures in Saddle Seat Not my own saddle seat adventures. I’m at Stepping Stone Farm often these days, but with Milton or Rodney. I haven’t saddle seated since … one lesson in May?

The Non-Material Cost of Showing

The goal was to attend a horse show [A Huntering We Will Go] without warping our training schedule too badly [To Show Or To School, That Is My Question]. How did we do? Pretty good for a first attempt. Week before show. 100%. No change. On Wednesday evening, Milton went to Stepping Stone FarmContinue reading “The Non-Material Cost of Showing”

Showing In The 21st Century, Online Entry, El Gezira, June 2019

El Gezira Jumper Show [Show Report] As it says in the title, I entered the El Gezira show online. That was a first. For me at least. It may be old hat in the horse world by now.

To Show Or To School, That Is My Question

I am trying to learn how to keep shows as an element of the program rather than gravitational black holes that suck in all my time and attention. Sometimes shows are destinations. Rolex-as-was. The AEC. The show may be national and noteworthy [That Elusive Sunday Blue]. The show may be tiny and local and ofContinue reading “To Show Or To School, That Is My Question”
