The European Para Equestrian Championships will take place next week in Kristiansand in Norway from 19 – 23 August 2009.
Para Equestrian Dressage is the only discipline currently in the Paralympic Games.
There are currently 80 of the world’s top disabled riders from 22 different countries looking to compete at the European Para Equestrian Championship, which will be opened by Norway’s Princess Märtha Louise. The event will also serve as a qualifier for 2010 Alltech FEI World Equestrian Games (WEG) in Kentucky in the United States. Not only will it be the first time WEG will take place in the United States, but it will also be the first time Para Equestrian dressage forms one of the disciplines.

Barrel Racing...warmblood? They don't seem to go together in the same sentence. But Bueller and I had great fun pretending to do the rodeo circuit yesterday! This new Belgium Warmblood, the horse with the lovely gait but a bit lazy absolutely loved it! Who would have guessed. I don't think Bueller realized he was "working" and moved out without a lot of crop. What a great exercise. We both had a hoot .....and accomplished much!

Gaits of change .com . Guess who's legs those are? Sandy Webster my friend and past trainer is starting a business and today the video crew was at Reins filming us. I did an interview about the "leading method" which Sandy developed 18 years ago and has allowed me independence with ground work. Once the horse understands the rules of the method, almost anyone can safely lead. Black and turquoise are Sandy's marketing colors ..so we all wore black jeans,turquoise shirts and black hats. So Pan Pan is now officially a film star!
