To maintain an attached, supple balance of your seat …

Imagine your stirrups are like a trampoline. You cannot brace into a trampoline, but if you keep your ankles, knees and hips soft and able to bend, you can maintain your balance on the trampoline.

Stephany Fish Crossman is a USDF bronze and silver medalist as well as one of only nine accredited coaches for Mary Wanless’ Ride With Your Mind Biomechanics System in the U.S. She is currently based in Brooksville, Florida, with her husband, Chris, who is a cattle rancher; her two horses that she’s taking up the levels; and her pet cows.

So I am pulling the plug on the Royal trip. I just could not get enough to fill the bus and pay for the bus. I will be sending out refunds but it will take a minute so don't get too impatient. I can give you the Royal ticket if you can find your own way down there.

Final push but I can't see it happening. I need to fill the bus. I need to pay the bus company so I can't wait for folks to think about it. I on't have 12 people signed up I need more than that to pay the bus. So you all have till the end of today to opt in and sign up to go to the Royal the cheapest and easiest way possible. Here is the form with prices and details.

To all my adoring fans I just published my next book. It should be available in a few days on Amazon. Here is the cover. It is called "Remembering a Special Horse". If you or someone you know is going through the loss of a horse, they might like this book. I will post the link to purchase as soon as it is available.

Some people think I am full of BS. Well here we have proof. Filled the little Fiat with bull. Fit this big fella in and his stand. Loads of room left over.

For those who have never been on this bus trip. We go every year. The price includes the bus down and back same day (yes it is a very long day) entry into the Royal and the evening performance tickets. Dressage is on the menu I see for Tuesday the 5th. Yes it is a Tuesday, take the day off work and the next day too if you are smart. But hey you don't have to drive and you don't have to park! For those who have never been the the Royal Winter Fair, consider this your gateway drug. There is so much to see and do, you will not be bored, maybe just tired. There is a Superdog type show, shopping food, goats, cows, etc. and the horse shows! St. Lawrence and Ottawa Valley Pony Club is the Sponsor of this event.

This needs to be said, and you all know who you are. If you are at a public place like a fair BEHAVE. Riding through the midway is UNACCEPTABLE. I don't care how well behaved your horses are, you don't carry enough insurance for what may happen and if it did happen ALL HORSES would be BANNED from ALL FAIRS.
Do not let your children gallop around all over the fairgrounds, stick to the warm up area and the ring. Do not ride your horse all day, get off him!
DO NOT LET anyone who is not registered to, ride your horse at the fair. No ba****ck halter flip flop aunti rides. NO NO NO.
Do not BEAT your horse, ever, but especially in public at the fair. IF you have to hit it , 2 hits maybe and then get off and go away.
I actually can't believe it needs to be said, but here we are.
Stop behaving like entitled s*its. It is a privilege to ride a horse, and a privilege to be at the fair to show them off. P**s off enough people and that fair won't happen.
P**s of the wrong person and they might video you and plaster you on social media so be careful and considerate always.
