It’s that time of year again, Time for Fox Crossing! I love these guys, and they always hold the best shows here! Sadly, luck was not on my side. I showed up early, and ended up waiting around for the better part of the day to get started. I had trudged through the mud so my boots were very slippery. I actually ended up taking a little spill, and even took myself off course first round. I completely missed second round, and third round bay knocked the jump. I was a pretty epic fail, but I can only blame myself and learn from these mistakes. I’m hoping I have a bit more luck when I go back for show 2!

Tell me about your most epic fail involving your horse!

Horse Whisperer

This girl riding the horse is in her 20’s – her dad just died 44 days before this performance. You can hear her dedication to him just before her performance so turn up your speakers a bit. Notice that it is just her and the horse – no bit, no saddle. She just uses signals and verbal cues, she’s mute – as in NOT SPEAKING to the horse, not as a MUTE person. Oh yeah, this isn’t even her horse. She is training it for someone else,
although she obviously has a relationship with this one.

I don’t know how much you know about horseback riding, but when they go fast, her bum isn’t even bouncing off the horse like you will see. Don’t know how she did that.

I am really wanting to learn Dressage horse riding and I don’t know what age you have to be to learn it? I also don’t know where to learn? I am 13 and I don’t know if I am too young?:S
I’m from Scotland BTW

Hello,

I guess USDF doesn’t really help then:-) The British Dressage website gives a regional contact person for Scotland, see http://www.britishdressage.co.uk/your_regions/overview The site also contains information for those 25 and younger: http://www.britishdressage.co.uk/under_25s

Also of interest might be the Scottish Dressage Group. They offer a membership for junior riders too. http://www.scottishdressagegroup.org.uk/index.html

Good Luck

This excursion is special because it is the only horseback riding tour in Puerto Vallarta where you can actually swim with your horse! Not only that, but after your ride, you can relax at a beautiful Hacienda, bask in volcanic hot springs, and sample different varieties of Tequila, the Mexican national liquor. A great combination of activities!

Start out at our beautiful Hacienda, a real working ranch nestled in the Sierra Madre foothills. Get matched up to your healthy, well-trained horse, and go for a ride, watching breathtaking vistas and even going for a swim with your horse! After the ride, relax at the Hacienda, bathe in the soothing waters of our volcanic hot springs, eat or drink at the restaurant, or learn about how tequila is made.
