Not-So-Speedy Dressage
From Endurance to Dressage
I have plenty of other stuff to talk about, but I realized I haven't shown much of Izzy's body apart from his leg. While we were hand walking the other day, I shot a minute of video proving that he is actually sound despite having such an ugly wound. It's a fairly crappy video, but enjoy ... 2/1/2015 09:40:54 pm
He's a really sweet horse who wants to interact with anyone - other horses, people, dogs. He is very trusting, which I love. My Arabs always bond so completely with me that it sometimes makes it difficult for them to be handled in stressful situations. Izzy is doing great with KG handling him. 2/2/2015 10:48:33 am
Thanks. I am not sure he enjoys it yet, but I am trying to make things fun and relaxing. :0) Comments are closed.

About the Writer and RiderI 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. About Speedy GSpeedy went from endurance horse to dressage horse.
