Hey IG Playland Equestrian Center friends!
My personal Facebook account: GlendaPlayer, which manages as the only administrative role to Playland Equestrian Facebook public page has been suspended and disabled wrongfully. I have no connections to IG account " wesbdgwjr217." I have gotten no help from Facebook or IG when trying to resolve this issue. Additionally, I had three charges from Meta through my PayPal account. Which have not been resolved as well.
While I do still have the Playland Equestrian Center page, I have no way of posting on it. I * might* be starting a new ( but hopefully not) page depending on how this matter is resolved. Feel free to contact me through my email on my website: Www.playlandequestriancenter.com
PS - I did not approve that login and yet it seemed to be able to still hack me.

Hunt Me Down, aka “Hunter”, is a 2015 chestnut OTTB gelding standing at 16.2 hands.
This handsome fella was restarted slowly with a focus on flatwork, setting him up for success at any discipline. With a huge trot and ground-covering uphill canter, Hunter would excel as an event horse or show jumper. Hunter has schooled up to Novice XC, has experience with the lateral work of 1st and 2nd level dressage, and is currently jumping 3’ courses. He really enjoys jumping!
Hunter is super fun and brave with tons of scope and potential for the upper levels. He goes in front shoes, trailers well, and has traveled to venues like Loch Moy, Morven Park, Oatlands, and various clinic locations. He also made his 3-phase debut at BN this summer.
This guy will be a really fun project for a young pro or experienced amateur to develop with a trainer! Mid 20s

🙌 This! I teach this to all my students! It also takes a development of lengthen tension through the quads and calve, which starts from pelvis alighment. Then the ankle can be elastic. There is no difference in jumping conceptually, however the heel does bounce down with the shortened stirrup length.

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.

Lil Man improved his test today, which is all I can ask for. Sometimes it is easy to forget how far he has come! He has more strength to develop for the sit of the pirouettes and changes to feel easy for him. But all in all, he put alot of effort into this whole weekend and is improving with each competition!

Here are some highlights from today!

We will be going back to our homework this week, and then on to Loch Moy Dressage next Sunday!

Riptide aka: Lil Man continues to impress me with how far he has come, as he gets more mileage at the 4-3 test. While his score today doesn't reflect it, he pulled off a decent test with minor mistakes that are very trainable with more time of strength building. He was calm as a cucumber in the show environment, and reflected that relaxation within his gaits. I was also super pleased with his stamina and coping ability in this heat! Overall, he did fantastic! On to day #2 at By Chance Dressage

"When you train a horse on a daily basis, you're a part of the horse's movement, you're part of the his motion. Everything that the horse experiences is coming from you. There's a total connection-- a true friendship -- and the connection touches the soul completely." -- Karen O.
