Western Pleasure
One of the most popular classes within the
spectrum of western riding is the western pleasure class. It is a typical class
for beginners to the show ring to acquire experience and control over
themselves in a show scenario. In contrast to events like reining, western
riding, trail, and others, in a pleasure class the contestant is not alone in
the show ring. He/she can "hide" among a group of other competitors
and is not judged individually.

The Kisbér Félvér
The Kisbér Félvér breed was
developed at the former Kisbér Stud in Hungary. The Stud farm was formed
in 1853 on 15,000 acres. It was developed primarily for the breeding of
Thoroughbred horses. The Kisbér Stud not only left permanent marks on
Thoroughbred racing history, but also developed a half-bred horse that was
regarded as 'The World's Most Beautiful Sport Horse'.

Artificial Insemination
Have you considered using AI in your breeding
program?

acknowledged as being acceptable in the cattle and sheep breeding industries,
but it is only recently that horse breeders have begun to realise its
potential. |
For serious
breeders, who are thinking ahead and looking to improve the stock they produce,

The Orlov Trotter
The Orlov trotter is the oldest and most popular
“stud” breed in Russia. Orlovs are not as fast as the Standardbred
and French trotters, but are more robust, massive, endurable, sure-footed,
strong, and tough. Their trotting action is more impressive. Orlovs are
extremely valued in Russia as ameliorators of local breeds.

The Racking Horse
The Racking Horse is one of the most versatile of
horse breeds. The "rack" of the Racking Horse is a bilateral
four-beat gait which is neither a pace nor a trot. The Racking Horse comes by
this gait as naturally as walking or striking a bold trot comes to other
breeds. |
| He is not to be
confused with other breeds, with which the "rack" is an artificially
achieved gait resulting from special training.

A HEAD TO HOOF LEARNING
EXPERIENCE
... Making the Connections
THE HORSE GATHERING
How many times have horsemanship students wished
they could learn more about horses in a way that puts the "whole
horse" together? Rather than focus just on anatomy or training issues or
rider balance or any other single aspect of horsemanship, wouldn't it be
wonderful to be in a place where ALL the pieces fit together to create the big
picture -- the WHOLE picture?

The Waler
Imagine yourself back in history, when ladies rode
side-saddle and a man’s worth was often judged by his choice of horseflesh
and his horsemanship. In the Waler’s heyday it became the elite mount, the
flashy, usually dark |
| coloured equine who would carry
you across vast distances to neighbouring properties or into town, where no
self-respecting gentleman would be seen on anything but a Waler.

The
Kabardin
It would take ages to tell stories of how
Kabardins bravely cross torrential streams, how they fight wolves, how Kabardin
mares foal onto frost-bitten soil, how they would carry you for hours on end
without so much as a blade of grass to eat |
They are kings of the mountains! The higher the
altitude the more apparent is the supremacy of the Kabardins over other breeds.

Russians and
“Russians”

them to turn into another Swedish warmblood in a generation or two..."

Riding Western
To ride "western" has really
little to do with the equipment you use, but it's a different approach to
riding, and - as far as horse show events are concerned - the ultimate goals
are different. To ride western means a
different way, a different method, a different philosophy, means somewhat
different aids and cues.
