equestrian: Proud To Be An Equestrian!! - 01/19/12 08:41 AM
A friend of mine had posted this and wanted to share it with everyone.
You lift weights, I lift water buckets, 50 pound bags of feed and hay bales.
You run 1 mile, I ride 10.
You dance in your Zumba class, I dance with an elegant equine partner.
You work with a team, I work with a 1000+ pound animal that I have to communicate with, without words.
Who's the athlete now?

equestrian: 10 Exercises to Become a Better Equestrian - Funny Friday - 09/30/11 11:29 AM
Equestrians need to keep in shape just like any other athlete. (Yes, horseback riders do more than just sit atop a horse.)
Here are 10 exercises that will help to become a better equestrian:
10. Drop a heavy steel object on your foot. Don't pick it up right away. Shout, "Get off, Stupid, GET OFF!"
9. Leap out of a moving vehicle and practice "relaxing into the fall." Roll lithely into a ball and spring to your feet.
8. Learn to grab your checkbook out of your purse and write out a $200 check without even looking down.

They are our angels.
They are our partners.
Horses are our friends.
Horses mean so much more.
Watch this video to get an idea of what horses really are to an equestrian. I hope it gives you a better idea why some of us love our horses.

equestrian: Is Eastern Pennsylvania Horse Friendly? You Bet It Is!! - 07/14/11 12:59 PM
Have horses and thinking of moving Eastern Pennsylvania area, but not sure if the area is equestrian friendly? It certainly is horse friendly even with the development going on.
You will find many events, clubs and things to do involving horses.
Do you have horse crazy children wanting to learn about horses? There are clubs geared toward the youth to learn about horses and their care, such as numerous 4H horse clubs and local chapters of US Pony Club, both of which I have been involved with. They offer excellent programs for the youth, even if you do not own a … (2 comments)

equestrian: Beezie Madden of the US Wins the Bronze - 08/21/08 01:57 PM
The top 22 riders out of 50 from Round A of the Individual Jumping Final went on to jump in Round B. There were only supposed to be 20, but because there were 10 clear rounds and 12 riders with 4 faults, they invited 22 riders back. Among them, U.S. riders Beezie Madden riding Authentic and McLain Ward with Sapphire.
Beezie had a clear first round and McLain had four faults. In the second round, Beezie had four and McLain was clear.
With only two riders with a double-clear, Rolf-Goran Bengtsson of Sweden and Eric Lamaze of Canada, our U.S. riders found … (10 comments)

equestrian: U.S. Show Jumpers Have a Great Qualifier Round - 08/16/08 08:06 AM
Even though the Germans were a favorite, the U.S. Show Jumpers put in a great qualifying round. In the first Individual Qualifier, the United States was the only nation to have three double clear rounds.
The Olympics changed the format for the Show Jumping. The competition starts out with a qualifying round, with a technical, but not a difficult course, which does not count towards points. Since there are more countries competing in Show Jumping, and some are small countries, this allows their horses get used to the arena and the footing.
Since this round did not count … (0 comments)

equestrian: U.S. Dressage Team Places 4th - 08/15/08 08:31 AM
Our U.S. Dressage team finished 4th with a 67.819%. Courtney King-Dye and Mythilus finished in 7th place with a score of 70.458%. Steffen Peters, riding Ravel, finished in 10th place with a score of 70.00% and, with an entirely uncharacteristic test, Debbie McDonald and Brentina finished 34th with a 63.00%. Apparently, after warming up beautifully, Brentina began spooking coming into the main arena. There were significant mistakes in the canter pirouettes and McDonald could never ask her to really go for it in the ring.
Germany, on the other hand, won their 3rd Equestrian medal in Dressage. Germany has won every Olympic Team Gold medal in Dressage since hosting … (2 comments)
