Most Expensive Equestrian Properties In The U.S.
Some of the last words any father wants to hear out of his daughter's mouth are: "I want a pony." The reason is that ponies go through money faster than Seabiscuit down the final stretch. Not only are they expensive to buy but they also cost a fortune to feed and stable. To stay out of the poorhouse, most indulgent parents of horsy preteens are content to board Trixie or Lulu Belle or Tearaway at a nearby farm and wait until their daughter discovers boys and hangs up her jodhpurs for good.

AQHA ENCOURAGING PARTICIPATION IN DRESSAGE
In January 2004, the American Quarter Horse Association announced that it would accept dressage test scores for American Quarter Horses and current AQHA members competing at approved U.S. Equestrian/United States Dressage Federation and Canadian Equestrian Federation shows. Riders may turn in their test scores and have them recorded by AQHA.
When the program was implemented, it was set to last for an initial one-year trial period, after which time the AQHA Show Committee will examine the figures to see how many horses have participated, how many exhibitors are AQHA members, and evaluate how the proposed test score table is transferring over into point values. No points will be awarded during this time period. However, the amount of participation during the 2004 trial period will determine the future of the program.

Equestrian Dover takes pride in AIDS role

Dressage rider Robert Dover has spent 20 years not just living the Olympic dream but trying to ally it to one of sport's last remaining taboos: homosexuality.
It takes Dover a few moments to compute the difference between his first Games, in Los Angeles 1984, and the prospect of his sixth and final closing ceremony in Athens this August.
"Wow, there are no comparisons between the two," the 47-year-old American told Reuters.
"LA '84 was my first international competition. I was a young, impressionable athlete worried by my image and thinking I knew what was going on. I also thought I could win.
"Now the world has changed -- not just its attitudes to homosexuality -- and I, personally, feel a different person. I am fortunate enough to be able to compete in a sport I love as a gay athlete and to be open at the same time."

Trick Training Your Horse to Success
I like to start trick training by teaching the bow. It can be either easy or very difficult to teach, depending on how smart your horse is and how well you can teach it.
The bow has several steps. With ropes to hold and hooves to avoid, it can prove challenging for both horse and trainer to understand at first. But if you can master teaching him this trick, you will prove to yourself that you can succeed at trick training.

Riders learn how to talk 'horse'
An Olympic medalist spent her weekend in Beaumont giving lessons on a equestrian technique used to help win wars in ancient Greece. "Keep your shoulders up. ... Hands together, play with the bit," was the advice Dorothy "Dottie" Morkis gave to rider Jeanette Kretchik over a public address system in an indoor riding barn on Sunday. Karen Orloff-Yatsko, Peaceful Valley Equestrian Center's owner and trainer, invited Morkis to the center to give hour-long lessons in dressage to her students and other interested riders.
