Brevard – Test Ride

May 23rd, 2010

This video was from June 29, 2007.

At the time, Brevard was 4 years old (April 2003)

Brevard is a Clydesdale/Dutch Warmblood cross gelding. I’m told that he is out of a Dutch mare by the well-known Dutch Warmblood stallion, Patrick) and his sire’s Clyde.

This video was taken the first day I met and rode Brevard… a “test ride” so to speak. I fell in love with him immediately. He has a wonderful personality, brains and lots of character! An absolute sweetheart.

I was fairly new to dressage at this point, having ridden hunter/jumper growing up. I had taken a few years off from riding, as life got busier and school, work, marriage, etc… took priority.
I had recently gotten back into riding seriously, so I obviously had a long road ahead of me to get back into shape as well as learn the discipline of dressage.

Though I appreciate constructive criticizm, please note how long ago this video had been taken, but more importantly, that I have a wonderful trainer whom I’ve worked very closely with from the start. I’m well aware of all that needed to be worked on. You can clearly see our progress in more recent videos. Thank you. :)

I brought him home one week after this.

Jumping 3′9 with my dressage horse! Read Description

March 11th, 2010

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.
