horsin' around: Why America Is Producing Such Mediocre Instructors
http://justjumpit-horsinaround.blogspot.com/2013/11/why-america-is-producing-such-mediocre.html
Sunday, November 24, 2013. Why America Is Producing Such Mediocre Instructors. This is a subject which I believe is not only resonating within the US but also within other countries. I see it happen on my own home ground in Australia. You can find the full story here. On The Riding Instructor. The following is an excerpt from the article:. 1 Too many Instructors are not learning and teaching foundations and basics. January 11, 2002 Chronicle of the Horse. A trainer of horses does not automatically have t...

horsin' around: New Year - New Goals
http://justjumpit-horsinaround.blogspot.com/2012/01/new-year-new-goals.html
Monday, January 2, 2012. New Year - New Goals. The New year brings a rejuvenation for the soul, for the things we didn't do in the past year and what we want to do in the new year. For myself this will be, undoubtedly a huge year. This is the year that I start university, continue at my new job, break Dart in, turn 18 and live large. Balancing the necessary components will be a hard task that will test my time management skills. After our jump at Colleen's on the weekend. Labels: competing, update Dart.

A Teen's Dressage Dream. Re-post: First days of Bramall Dusche. This post is about my first few days EVER at Bramall-Dusche, unaware back then that it is the place I would go back to as many times a year as possible, and spend four months working there in 2012. It's interesting to read my first impressions, they weren't far off what the barn is really like but my understanding of the training system is so much greater now! First Days of Bramall-Dusche. I was working twice as hard in England at Talland bu...

A Teen's Dressage Dream. Chad's eventing career has begun! Just a quick post to keep you all in the loop while my website and new blog is being created. Chad is turning into a bit of an eventer! Chad strutting his stuff at Eventer's dressage day. He felt so light on his toes with his freshness, like a fairy! He was lush to ride, however I had to pretend we did eventing and I don't think we pulled that off very well! Everyone said he was really "snazzy". I suppose you could be a snazzy eventer? And won th...

A Teen's Dressage Dream. My new inspiration - Seriously, watch the video. Edwina Tops-Alexander - my new inspiration. Http:/ www.youtube.com/watch? Everybody needs an inspiration to help them achieve whatever they pursue. When I was training my pony Vinnie to FEI level in Australia, I used Lendon Gray. I've known about Edwina for ages, mainly because we both came out of the same area of Sydney and she's forever in the Australian horse magazines. I always thought it was pretty cool that she was sponso...

A Teen's Dressage Dream: Amazing opportunity - it's got to be taken!!
http://www.teendressagedream.com/2012/11/amazing-opportunity-its-got-to-be-taken.html
A Teen's Dressage Dream. Amazing opportunity - it's got to be taken! Finally, I can tell everyone my big news! I have been waiting a few weeks to write a post about it but needed to make sure it all went through smoothly. I didn't want to shoot myself in the foot by telling everyone all about it and then things fell through. The news is that I am now running my own yard! In Australia we barely had one vet bill, but since we put the horses on livery in the UK there seems to be at least one every month....

http://www.teendressagedream.com/2013_01_13_archive.html
A Teen's Dressage Dream. And other exciting happenings. I took a big step forwards in my career last Thursday! I did my first ever Inter 1 :D. He was with me the whole way because he was truly "through". After two years of working so hard with Seb and not getting the results in our tests, it was really rewarding to feel us finally coming together, especially in an inter 1. It was more about just getting out there and seeing how an Inter 1 went, and going from there. Links to this post. The journey of a d...
