Do you understand the tacit "rules" of riding a dressage test—the ones that aren't in the rule book? FEI and USEF judge Janet Foy offers her insights on the unwritten tenets of test riding to help you maximize your scores.

Opal, a coming 4 y/o CSHA gelding bred by Affluent Farms, slowly getting fitter after the winter off. Only a handful of rides under saddle since he’s been back in work, and he’s already been so much fun!

Opal is now in training with Sara Dwyer as she readies him for the John Lassetter Dressage Clinic at Kathleen Day-Dunbar's stable (Seaforth) the Mother's Day weekend. I was thrilled to get this photo of Sara's first day up on Opal! Can't wait to see this "team" working together!

Just like how some of us only go to certain gas stations, careful consideration of the fueling-up step is important for supporting exercise!

Topline scoring can help you proactively manage your horse’s health & keep an eye on muscular health and diet suitability!

Nutritional issues can result in lacking topline, so by keeping an eye on this key indicator of diet suitability, you can make changes BEFORE your horse's wellness is significantly impacted!

Grab yours and take it to the barn to see how your horse's topline compares: https://www.honosnutrition.ca/product-page/topline-scoring-to-success-guide

Late recap from the Caledon Dressage Summer Finale! ☀️

Milo had some great rides with many improvements from our last show, a few things to work on yet, but overall very pleased with our rides! Thank you for the opportunity and Allie Schmidt Dressage for coaching! 💕

Amber Hyde brought her 3 y/o mare Dasani to hang out and learn all about horse shows this weekend, and she was a star! Such a great brain on this young horse, looking forward to her development under saddle - she’s officially backed now!

Thank you to Leveza equestrian for keeping me well-dressed this season, Brittany Todd Photography for her beautiful photography work, and to the organizers at Caledon Dressage for all of their hard work putting on another fantastic show season! Our team is already looking forward to next year!
