Has anyone tried Dressage Rider Training, a friend of mine is raving about the online class

Silverado

I enjoy the Board but haven't posted in a long time!

Silverado

WOW!!! What a lovely place to board your horse! Very fancy!!!!

Silverado

Thanks blob, I will get them nice to know I don't need them right away.

I signed up for DRT1 today.

Silverado

Thanks blob, I have been looking at it and I think I will do it. I will start with the first program as I am coming off an injury and as my physical therapist keeps reminding me ....slow and steady. Will I need the 3 in 1 resistance bands and balance ball for the first program?

Silverado

Thank you all for your response.

Blob....is the access to an online gym come free with the program or is there an additional cost?

Silverado

Thanks! I haven't quite decided, I walk a lot but I need "rider" specific exercises....so this may work. It's a tad pricey especially to also get the USB drive. I appreciate your input!

Silverado

I wasn't sure where to post this....has anyone done the Dressage Rider Exercise Program? I am seriously consider doing this as I am coming off an injury and I am woefully out of shape.

Please feel free to PM me.

Thanks!!

Silverado

Thanks for posting!! And thanks for letting us know what trail camera you are using, we have tried in the past to use a trail camera sadly hunters destroyed the camera within a week of our son putting it up in our woods. Our farm borders a National Forest and hunters come down illegally and hunt on ...

Silverado

LindaJ I love the thigh blocks!!!

Silverado

It really is in great shape!!!! You have taken wonderful care of that saddle!

Silverado

Okay, I contacted MacRider Saddlery about a saddle fitter in my area. They sent me the name of the closest saddle fitter to me which was 8 hours away but I did contact her. Valerie McCloskey is a saddle fitter/very accomplished rider and trainer. She was friendly, extremely helpful and honest! She o...

Silverado

redsoxluvr It might truly depend on where you are located and the availability of a MacRider saddle fitter. They have started to do road trips and covering different cities/states. If you love the saddle, it still might be worth.

Silverado

Hayburner, MacRider now has a saddle fitting in western Pennsylvania. I sent you a PM!

Silverado

Hayburner. MacRider will be doing saddle fitting/service in Westfield, IN and Hobsrt, IN. I sent you a PM with more details

Silverado

Just sent you a PM about the Knockoff PS Sweden High Jump style cob bridle.

Silverado

greenhorse I have never heard that peacock stirrups are only good for riders under 100 pounds? Not sure why that is, perhaps some else does. I have ridden in them for years.

Silverado

I pretty much always ride in Peacock stirrups simply for the safety reasons, I have the Herm Springer Balance stirrups but I rarely ride in them. I have causally looked at the Acavallo Arena Alupro Safety Stirrups. It's all about the safety for me right now, as my one pony is still green. Perhaps, w...

Silverado

Thanks StraightForward!! We just watched Ride Like a Girl, great movie!!!

Silverado

Hayburner I checked my outbox and it said it was sent and actually I sent you several pm that perhaps you didn't get. Sorry, not sure what happen it says they were sent. Computers!! Love them and sometimes don't know what happens! Okay, Valerie is in New York and is the only MR saddle fitter that th...

Silverado

Hayburner I sent you a pm

Silverado

UPDATE

I just got off the phone with a MacRider saddle fitter Valerie McCloskey (315) 335-3557 (yes, I got permission to post her name/phone number). I am very excited, she seems like she will be very easy to work with and very knowledgeable. She also does saddle fitting for other saddles.

Silverado

Hayburner I am in Virginia, I believe when I got the saddle there was a somewhat local saddle fitter in Virginia but apparently not any more. The "local" saddle fitter is located in New York, if I remember correctly near Syracuse.I believe at this point the saddles are more popular in Euro...

Silverado

Thanks!! I will be checking out a lot of bareback pads! I think I will be doing a lot of walking in the riding ring improving my balance and then onto trotting! Funny..it's been way too many years of riding in a saddle that has me a tad scared of going to a bareback pad.

Silverado

Hayburner how did the saddle fitting go with the MacRider? I need to get my MacRider adjusted and the saddle fitter for MacRider is over 7 hours away!!! It's a gorgeous saddle but no MacRider saddle fitters nearby at all....sigh....

Silverado

Love my PS of Sweden reins!

Silverado

Right now I am looking at the Comfort Plus Suede Bareback Pad as a friend has one and raves about it.

Silverado

They (Filzsattels) are really gorgeous! I did not see where they might be sold in the United States

Silverado

I am considering purchasing a bareback pad for myself to use in the round pen or riding ring to help improve my balance or get it back to where it once was! I have been riding in a cross country saddle for years now and occasionally a dressage saddle. Plus, I have a grand daughter who is staring to ...

Silverado

What a fabulous idea Texsuze! LOL!!!

Congrats PhoenixRising on your upcoming bundle of joy!

Silverado

Please be kind to yourself....it wasn't meant to be... Years ago I took one of my mares to be bred to a lovely stallion and while I was there saw a gorgeous mare in the pasture. My mare did indeed get pregnant and I have a lovely gelding now. The owner of the stallion decided to close down the barn ...

Silverado

I sent you a PM

Silverado

Silverado

MMMMmmmm......perhaps I will text the coconut oil on a different part of my guys body before I put it on their sheaths. Thanks for letting us know you guy had a reaction I wouldn't have given it a second thought. Like Josette I would just think it would be so mild.

Silverado

I am getting ready to order Equiderma Sweet Itch products which contains Neem. I have a neem shampoo and spray now but I think these products look very interesting. My sweet itch pony is actually looking pretty good this summer and I credit this Board for all their suggestions and helpful tips! Than...

Silverado

Silverado

Thanks piedmontfields, I will check in with Demi!

Silverado

Koolkat,

I sent a pm

Silverado

Silverado

Koolkat. I am very interested in your Boett sheet!!! I will measure my guy and keep my fingers crossed that it will fit!

Silverado

Thanks Xanthoria, I will look into the DEET and the lemon eucalyptus spray. I have been using Ecovet Fly Spray which has work very well for him, I just find that the smell gets to me. I may try the lemon eucalyptus spray and see if it works and save the Ecovet when we go out riding when there is a c...

Silverado

Chimsamba all I can say is I am in awe of you

Silverado

I will certainly try the vinegar rinse!!

blob I am so sorry to hear about your mare, I know how frustrating it is trying to figure out what works for your horse.

Silverado

Goldhorse. Than you so much for your input last year!!! Great, great information and I believe it really helped. I am going out to measure my pony this morning and order those fly boots today!!

Silverado

I looked at the Boett sheet and I am considering it. I wonder how durable it is, my pony isn't the worst blanket wearer but he is still really hard on blankets. Chisamba ....Do you think the Boett is pretty durable/

I will try the diluted white vinegar rinse!

Silverado

Well, I ordered my summer supply of supplements and shampoos for my Sweet Itch pony but always wonder if anyone has anything that they feel works fabulous for Sweet Itch. I get Bye Bye Itch supplement, Fish Oil, Factor, Vit E/C and a generic form of Benadryl (if he needs it, sometimes we can go for ...

Silverado

I use Neem & Tea Tree shampoo from The Healing Barn for my sweet itch pony.

Silverado

Clanter.....it's so nice to "hear" from you and to see the twins growing up!! Wonderful update!! THANKS!! Love your words of wisdom!!!
