Successful Ride and Review day with the Mercer Island Saddle Club crew. Thank you so much Kimberly Mitchell Dressage for coming out and helping us today! Everybody got a chance to ride a test and work with Kim to improve their scores. It was a really positive experience for this group of primarily eventers, many of whom had never ridden a dressage test before!

Thanks to all who helped and participated!

Friday faces! Minus a few who didn’t want their picture taken during their ride (aka I forgot). Pretty sharp looking crew if I do say so myself 😎

Baby Nandor 👶🏼 🥹 is the best 5yo puppy! I’ve been having so much fun bringing him along with owner Terry Spehar-Fahey who by the way is a total badass horse riding Californian artist who is so incredibly dedicated to her two horses 🐴🦄

Visual attention in dressage judging. Really cool to see a technology I used on infants and children in my past life (grad school) on dressage judges. Interesting read!

Research using eye-tracking technology has revealed new insights into how dressage judges focus their attention when assessing horse-rider combinations.

15.3h 12yo imported Brandenburg gelding, lower level dressage

Cornet Obolensky x Calido I

This guy is ready to go out tomorrow and win at 1st level with a Jr or AA. If you are capable of helping him organize his body a little more and polishing up his moves, take him out for a stab at 2nd level too, no problem. He also comes with a lead change, and has miles of riding out in the open and on trails. He’s got all the basics installed for someone who wants to do lower level dressage. He has been ridden by a teen the last several years who wants to move up the levels of eventing, and jumping is just not his thing anymore (same dude, same). He is loving his life as a dressage king! 👑 Scores above 75% with blue ribbons at 1st level (schooling show) with a teen rider. Impressive!! 🥇

Honest and safe, but never boring. He’s sensitive to the aids, naturally athletic, brave, willing, and just plain pleasant and rideable. He will thrive in a dressage home with a teen or AA in a program, and is equally as fun for your trainer to hop on and jet around. Though he’s forgiving, he is not for a total beginner simply due to his athleticism and work ethic. Personality-wise he is one of the sweetest horses I’ve ever met, not a mean bone in his body. He also does tricks!! He will “fist bump” and “spin” on command.

Sound, easy keeper, minimal maintenance, and your non-horsey husband or parent can handle him on the ground. Films and vet records available to seriously interested parties. Hauls like a pro, he is the exact same horse off property, and does not require a lunge, although he is super easy to lunge too. He is overall a standout guy, and I wish there were more of him in the barn! Come meet him and take him home forever 🫶🏼

Located in Snohomish, WA.

How much weight can a horse carry?

In my experience, a horse can carry an infinite amount.

They can carry the weight of broken hearts, broken homes, and broken bodies. Countless tears sometimes comb their tangled manes. Moments when parents and friends cannot be there to help and hold a person, horses embrace and empower. They carry physical, mental, and emotional handicaps. They carry hopes and dreams; and they will carry the stress from your day when you can’t carry it anymore.

They carry graduations, they carry new careers, they carry moves away from everything familiar, they carry marriages, they carry divorces, they carry funerals, they carry babies before they are born, and sometimes they carry the mothers who cannot carry their own baby. They carry mistakes, they carry joy, they carry the good and they carry the bad. They carry drugs and addictions, but they also carry the celebrations.

They will carry you to success when all you have felt is failure. They will carry you, never knowing the weight of your burdens and triumphs.

If you let them, they will carry you through life, and life is hard, life is heavy. But a horse will make you feel weightless under it all.
