Talk about an All-Rounder!

Posted: 31 Oct 2010 02:07 PM PDT

A few days ago I posted the WEG X-country helmetcam footage of Peter Atkins and Henry Jota Hampton (aka Henny). It was a wild ride, but they did great on this looong, scary course. They were 24th in the final standings, not too shabby!

And you can see from the dressage photo that they're a striking and elegant pair in the dressage ring.


More recently Henny competed in the Myopia Hunt / Putnam Boston Jumper Classic -- um, in the lead line class.

Here's the scoop from Peter...
"We headed down to Hamilton for the Myopia Hunt / Putnam Boston Jumper Classic this weekend. Owen rode Henny in the lead line, they won of course!!! So did the other kids. He was of course the crowd favorite and Henny was best behaved of all the ponies."

Talk about an all-rounder!

Happy Halloween, Cuteheads! Hope all the doggies and kitties get extra treats today!Since it's Halloween -- and Pimp and Moo already showed you their costumes this year -- I figured we could take a look a bunch of Pimp's costumes from past years! (In case you've been living under a rock and didn't notice, I like to dress him up.)This definitely isn't all his costumes and outfits, but it's all the

Rollkur en dressur? Google breaks the language barrier?

Posted: 30 Oct 2010 01:41 PM PDT


We dressage enthusiasts are total Europhiles, and the Dutch and the Germans are the masters of dressage. So I figured we should find out what the riders of  Germany and the Netherlands think  about the hot dressage topics. To this end I searched online forums in those countries. I found a lot of information. Well, shoot. I don't know either language.

Google to the rescue! 
I used the Google online translator so we can glean wisdom from Dutch/German dressage riders -- what are they saying about the critical dressage topics of the day? Google translations to the rescue!



ABOUT TOTILAS
Wow, the pictures of Totilas can occur one goosebumps!
 The horse [Totilas] gave speeches at the European championships on his own.

ABOUT ROLLKUR

I would not want to turn my head against my anatomy so down.
The attitude of horse and rider do not always have to write home about.  

ABOUT ANKY

 Anky outside the hands of the white picket fences regularly see are somewhere between her ears. Then I thought to myself: if I put a picture of it bucks I get paid twice as hard.

Talk about broken English...
