Not-So-Speedy Dressage
From Endurance to Dressage
Thank you so much to Cha Ching's mom for catching this GREAT moment! There's more to the video, of course, but this part is spectacular. Rather than be alarmed, I was ecstatic when I saw it. What a great confidence builder to see yourself thrown so far off balance only to recover immediately. Love it!

Ride 'em cowgirl! You said he could get frisky, but until now, he has always been the cute little gentleman when I'm around!

S - I did a silent &*$%! but decided to ride it out and get him back on the 20 meter canter circle. I was actually quite impressed with myself! :0)

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. After helping me earn a USDF Bronze medal in the summer of 2020, he is now semi-retired. Speedy is a 2004, 15'1 hand, purebred Arabian gelding. His Arabian Horse Registry name is G Ima Starr FA.
About IzzyIzzy was started as a four-year old and then spent the next 18 months in pasture growing up. I bought him as a six-year old, and together, we are showing at Second Level. He is a 2008, 16'3 hand warmblood gelding. His Rheinland Pfalz-saar International (RPSI) name is Imperioso.
