Encyclopedia Equestria: Season's Greetings!

Season's Greetings!

I would like to take this opportunity to wish you all a blessed and wonderful Festive Season! My wish for 2013 is more horsey learning, more competing and lots of success to you all!

This has been a busy busy year with loads of teaching, competing and training and I can't wait for the new year to get busy again and enjoy my precious boy and my students and keep learning and keep growing and having fun most of all!

Happy Hoofing!

Quotes of Note

"Talent without discipline is like an octopus on roller skates.
There's plenty of movement, but you never know if it's going to be forward, backward, or sideways." H. Jackson Brown

"The fastest way to get where you're going is to take your time."

"Dressage is more than just learning how to ride. Dressage is a way of life. As you learn more about horses ... and the beauty of creating something in a horse ... you find that this process becomes how you ask yourself about what is right and
wrong in your own life. Because when you work with a horse, you are not just dealing with the problems in this horse, but also with the problems in your life. People grow through their riding. Or you don't grow. You have a choice, but the opportunity is there.” Melissa Simms

Riding a horse is not a gentle hobby, to be picked up and laid down like a game of Solitaire. It is a grand passion.
- Ralph Waldo Emerson

The quality of the seat determines whether we can even speak of “riding”, or whether the horse simply has to “deal with” the load on his back.
- Kurt Albrecht

Always close the door to the high-tech world firmly behind you and walk through a corridor of relaxation and collection, before you enter the space that is occupied by creatures who are closer to nature than many people of this day and age
- Dorothee Baumann-Pellny
