Seriously busy day here in Langley B.C. teaching Para Equestrian riders of varying standards.
3 Paralympic riders, international riders and less experienced riders. It was great to catch up with the riders who competed in the international competition in Melbourne in December 2009. It is so much easier coaching them on their own horses and far less stressful for all of us!
I had a nice ride on Jennifer McKenzie's Valentine.Eleanor Elstone's Wild Card is a super talented 7 year old. I am sure he will be seen in both Para Equestrian and FEI dressage in the future. He is a joy to watch. Great paces. It is such a responsibility having such a talented horse - and of course so much fun.
The riding public are beginning to realise that there is no real difference between 'able-bodied' and Para dressage. I believe that there is - the Para horses cannot get away with any impurities in the paces and particularly in the walk!
