Read MoreBy Andrea Caudill The versatility of the American Quarter Horse is certainly a bragging point for the breed – the horse that is willing and able to do whatever task asked of it. While that is quite common, it is rare when performed on the breed’s biggest stage, a place where specialists typically have the advantage. But at the 2020 Farnam AQHA and Adequan® World Championship Shows, Colorado resident Renee Anderson and her mare, Hi Risk, were successful in two wildly different events: The duo placed ninth in the Select barrel racing and, a few days later, were finalists in the brand-new western dressage stakes class. “I want barrel horses...
Read MoreWhy I Chose Western Dressage by Silja Knoll We all know that Dressage training is good for EVERY horse, every breed, and for just about every age of equine. I wanted my Norwegian Fjord mare to also benefit from this training. As she got older and developed Cushings in her mid teens, I was shocked to see her muscle tone deteriorate, especially her top line. Some noticeable arthritic changes in her fetlocks made me feel that her competitive trail seasons might be behind her. I decided she didn’t need to pound the (beautiful!) hard, rocky trails for 20 miles at a time anymore. It was time to reevaluate our next...

To register for this free lecture please visit www.anitashkedi.com With some 2.6 billion people around the world in some kind of lockdown, we are seeing a secondary epidemic of burnouts and stress-related illnesses come from the toxic effects of COVID-19 lockdowns. Taking action now, as restrictions are lifted, can mitigate these effects of lockdown. (Statistics from the World Health Organization, 2020.)

Read MoreRecording my videos for the WDAI Battle of the Saddles (BOSS) show seemed so easy. “Team Blondie” (me, my husband, and Heidi Lemack) had the indoor arena set up for the small ring with just the right amount of lighting to do WDAA Intro Tests 3 and 4. The tripod that held my iPhone in horizontal mode was parked at C to catch every movement, including the equipment and bit check after each test. The tests were recorded, submitted, judged, and placed. Blondie and I surprisingly did quite well placing third and second respectively despite a few flaws in the tests. Easy. I expected the same when recording my tests...

Read MoreHow a pandemic brought me to Western Dressage It’s been said that life is stranger than fiction. I doubt anyone other than a big screen film writer could ever have dreamed up the insanity that our world has experienced due to the outbreak of COVID-19. I lost my grandfather to this horrible virus. Life as my family knew it came to a screeching halt. However, the one thing that has always kept me sane, my horses, were still there each day. They still needed care and training and what many see as a chores became the one thing keeping me grounded. Its been said that necessity is the mother of...
