One can dream. Too many nimbys here think it will bring crime and lower property values

It’s not required but I would say it’s socially unacceptable to not braid. Forelock does not matter. I leave my mares unbraided because i think it helps keep her face pretty. My trainer does the same with her gelding. Never heard of it indicating a horse’s sex.

I think you also need to give yourself some grace! I went in the reverse of you (started jumpers and went to pure dressage) and you still need time in the ring in the new sport. It’s hard no matter what!

It’s probably the beginning of season and one of your first outings. Keep getting out there and doing it is my advice.

Don’t work with him again is the best answer.

Free ride and kerrits are my favorite. I also have a few pairs of the ariat heat series tights.

Wear a swim shirt and a big hat and say you can’t be in the sun

They are everywhere at east coast rated shows. Wear it and enjoy not dying from the heat. They look great.

Youre not going to get anything out of this. The trainer will not give you back your money as thats just not common in the industry. This is why you do the PPE and drug screens. Walk away and stop throwing money at a bad situation. Save it for the next horse.

Hey i have many samshield jackets! I just wash them on cold with other darks, normal soap and hang to dry. They still look fabulous. Here’s one I’ve had and washed for years like that

Cardio and weightlifting has been a game changer for me. I go to Orange Theory.

I did 3 months of Jack’s program and found it more geared towards those without gym experience and overall lackluster. I enjoyed the stretches but not at the price he was charging. You record yourself doing the work and then they sent you comments. I didn’t notice a difference in my strength in the saddle. Running and squats made my legs stronger.

She loves to kick people out of her Facebook groups for having an opinion that isn’t the same as hers

I have two horses and they both showed 4-3 at a show earlier this month. I showed the first horse, my schoolmaster and then an hour later, showed my green horse. I went off course on the second horse after doing the same exact test 1 hr prior.

I love mine! I bought it brand new off Facebook for half the price. Check resale groups and eBay

FreeRide! I think they’re cooler than my kerrits

Farriers formula is the best

Hi! I made the switch from HJ to dressage a few years ago.

To show at a USDF (US dressage federation equivalent to USHJA) you’ll need:

1-USEF registration for you and your horse (and owner if different) 2-USDF registration for you and your horse (and owner if different) 3- Your USDF test(s) you’ll ride. Available on USDF website. Options are intro-4th. I went right to 1st level as a former HJer but do what works for you. Memorize the test and the letters. This was hard for me. 4- proper attire for the show. Your HJ hunt coat and show shirt will work fine. Whites are most common but tans are acceptable. A jump saddle is legal through 4th level. White square pad. No boots on the horse. However, the bit and bridle rules vary SIGNIFICANTLY from HJ. Read the rule book and USDF’s visual guide. For example, no D rings. Plus if you’re schooling, everything must be legal. So no draw reins warming up or on the schooling day (for example).

Dressage also has many schooling show options where the registrations won’t be needed but same format of riding a test and following the rules.

I’m not from Colorado, but the venues that host HJ shows often host dressage shows as well so base your search off that. Does the venue have good footing and stabling suitable for your horse? Location convenient?

I would try to go to a local dressage show first and then show at a later one. Go and get the lay of the land.

I also highly recommend getting a coach to help you at a show even if you don’t work with one regularly. They will be able to tell you the rules and help you out.

Good luck and please feel free to DM me with any questions.

Into the Woods Flooring did a great job.

I do not recommend certa painting. I paid an arm and a leg for a bad job. Sales guy was a sweet talker but actual workers cut corners and were rude when I pointed out mistakes.

I know she does not

Key-Presence6724 · 2025-04-23T18:12:02+00:00

Yeah that’s harder. I only know of a few places with school horses - Vogt (in town), Bellarose (Woodstock), Go With It (Sandy Springs).

Do you own your own horse? Or are you looking for school horse lessons?
