We Make It Easy

I am shocked by the amount of people who have posted comments such as: “Wow! That’s amazing! I did not think a dressage horse could jump. But thats great that you do both, dressage can get soo boring.”

First of all, WHAT DO YOU THINK EVENTING IS? Number two, all Grand Prix jumpers have their horses trained to at LEAST 3rd lvl dressage. Interesting hmm? So of COURSE dressage horses can jump. They have all the basics of slowing down, speeding forward, lengthening stride, shortening stride, balance, and bending. All that’s needed is for the horse to learn to go over a jump. Not hard.

If you ride correct dressage, it becomes anything but boring! And take this from the wild child, anti-dressage, jumping Nazi I was back a couple of years ago. Dressage, I believe, is the hardest equine sport, and while I may get flamed for saying that, it is the truth. It is the foundation for ALL equine sports, (yesh even barrel racing) and without it you CANNOT go far in any other sport. Why is it so hard? Because of the impossible goal you search for, perfection.

I was an annoying little 7 year old who thought I could do anything.
Back then it was cool to wear your helmet all day, even if you weren’t riding
Riding a bigger horse then everyone else meant you were the ‘best’ rider (even though he’s only 15.1hh, man I must have been tiny! Look at the way I climb into the saddle!).
Cantering was a massive deal…
And I used to brag to my friends about how I can jump really high (lol…. yeah ground poles were massive back then…).

God bless that horse.
I really wasn’t the best rider(been riding for a year)…. he put up with anything and taught me everything.
The song says it all.
I just wish I could be there for him these days :’(
It really breaks my heart when I see how happy he is in these videos.
I’ve tried everything to buy him back!
My poor boy

Look in the video response to see what happened to him.
And for those of you who have already seen the original Red video, I’ll be making a new one about his progress in a couple of weeks.

16 yr old dark chestnut gelding 15.3 hands.

Western Pleasure, English Pleasure, Showmanship, Horsemanship, Low Hunter.

I am representing Barney for a friend who bought him for her 6 year old daughter to learn to ride and compete with. Her daughter has won many walk/jog championships then had gone on to beginning/youth Western Pleasure and English Pleasure events successfully.

Her daughter is now 11 and feels the need for speed and is focusing on her barrel horse and timed events. They have decided to offer Barney for sale to go on and teach another rider or offer a seasoned and beautiful ride for any level rider.

He has been impeccably trained, and is very easy and enjoyable to be around. Tail is all natural and all his. I have had him at my barn for about a week, he has had some vacation timebut is oh-so-good!

Asking Price $8500
**A good home is top priority, all offers will be considered**

Additional videos of Barney will be posted soon. Please contact 941-923-5022 or e-mail foxtrotusa@verizon.net for any additional information.

A vid showing our time clock, the fuction of the work collar, and other basic info on horse and carriage hardware and function. Peta manipulates language, image and misinformation to make any connection with animals evil. Don’t buy into their crap. Stop the demonisation of people who work with or aroUnd animals. The aninal rights movements have lost their way. It’s more about agenda than the animals Peta kills 93% of the animals the collect donations to “save”. PATHETIC.

I’m 15 and already a very competent rider, been rider since i could walk and I live in London, does anyone know somewhere in London or quite close to it where I can learn to ride trick horses? Doing tricks on them like standing on the horse’s back while the horse is in canter etc. Thankss =)

Gymnastics or Vaulting on horseback is a thrilling and daredevil sport. If you can find a trainer that would be great. The training of the horse is a big part of the learning too as it takes a special horse to keep going even when there is someone bouncing around on its back. Do not try it at home without the proper gear, safety equipment and a good spotter to help you. Start small and work your way up.

Good luck

I am 11 years old. My family and I know nothing about horses. I know you pull the reins to stop and turn. We live all the way down in Hopetoun which is far away from any city or big town. I live In WA. I dream of being able to ride a horse. Thanks!

See if you can find a barn or a friend who can teach yo. There are a lot of great barns with awesome trainers! you can learn to ride and live out your dream. i hope I helped! Best of luck with your riding!

At Cadence Equestrian Center we host horse day camps throughout the year as well as week-long summer horse camps.
These camps are geared for both beginner and intermediate riders.
Many of our youth riders who now own their own horses and ponies started out at Camp Cadence! Our camps are an excellent introduction into the world of horses & ponies and are also wonderful supplements to riding instruction.

Beginner students learn basic horsemanship, safety and grooming and farm chores. Our camps also include fun horsey arts & crafts, fishing and of course lots of riding – including daily horse-back-riding instruction & games on horse-back. Our intermediate students learn more advanced skills in horsemanship & many of the important lessons, skills and responsibilities, that are required to own a horse or pony.
Your child will love the camaraderie of spending time at the ranch learning all sorts of fun & exciting things about horses!
