Syd: This is a great blog, and it reminds me of Gypso, the last horse I rode when I got hurt. NOT A COW PONY…

thanx everyone. i really took this one to heart to because a lot of our lesson horses came from these backgrounds and some of my personal favorites have to. so i just thought i would inform everyone about this issue so many more horses can have the same chance as my lesson horses and tash’s horse. also madelaina i’m glad your barn might consider adopting a horse!

I really understand that some horse aren’t good for certain things/ people. like my show jumper was bred by a dressage trainer, from dressage parents, for dressage. but he does WAYYY better in show jumping, i mean she he can do a few flying changes, piffales, half passes and other dressage movments, but he does them just coz he was told not coz he wants to, and when he does do them thers no spark, yer he looks good, but you don’t feel any magic, then you get anywhere near something jumpable and he stars to get excited and he starts looking like a champion! I really connected to this blog! I understood EVERY bit of it! wonderful job Syd

Oh my gosh Syd, first of all, this is an amazing blog! Secondly, you have probably saved all my troubles. {:D}The stables I ride at a thinking of getting a few new horses, and they are looking for one that is probably a retired dressage horse. Maybe it’s waiting for us at a rescue centre. I’ll look in on that, but you’ve done a great part of my “mission” to find new lesson horses. :D
