Representation does matter. I received a message that a Black girl decided not to try horseback riding lessons bc, “Black girls don’t ride horses.”
Her sister showed her my page. 😭😭
She’s now taking lessons!
Watching the live stream of the AEC’s cross country. The advanced has been nerve wracking with exception of the Alliston’s.
Two horses nearly had rotationals.
They just said that the course designer doesn’t believe in frangible technology 😧😡

say what you will about warwick schiller, but i think he is leaps and bounds better than most other internet trainers of his class. i really appreciate the way he has changed his methods and ways of thinking in the past 10+ years purely from self reflection and observation
HIS NAME IS TREY AND HE REFUSED MEDICAL ASSISTANCE. NYPD WOULD NOT EXPLAIN WHY HE WAS IN CUFFS. HE WAS NOT VIOLENT OR EXPERIENCING A MEDICAL EMERGENCY.
it’s always fun meeting non-horse people who are like “omg do u know so-and-so,” and u never ever know the person, except one time that happened and it was kim severson’s sister. like oh, yes, i do happen to “know” her!
explaining dressage to non-horse people is so fun because it’s like yes i got a 35 on my last dressage test but i did not get a 35 like phillip dutton got a 35. my horse halts in the shape of a hexagon and phillip dutton is an olympian.
this & add being able to perform a 1st level dressage test since it literally only covers the basics on the flat that are imperative over fences. if you can’t leg yield correctly then you cannot jump safely or correctly ! but the last time i said this, i somehow had opposition 😵💫
