Not-So-Speedy Dressage - Bakersfield Dressage

It's Hard to Be Little!

11/23/2015

I have all kinds of stuff to share about Day 1 of our latest clinic with Chemaine Hurtado, including some great exercises for suppling all levels of horses, but I need to get it written up. In the meantime, Sarah from Eventing in Color shared this super cute video from Amazon Prime. Even if you've already seen it, it's funny enough to watch again. Enjoy!

I know, right? And since I have one HUGE pony and one littler guy, this made me chuckle. :0)

About the Writer and Rider

I am a lifelong rider.
I began endurance riding in 1996 where I ultimately completed five, one-day 100 mile races, the 200-mile Death Valley Encounter, and numerous other 50, 65, and 75 mile races. I began showing dressage in 2010.
Welcome to my dressage journey.
