We stumbled across a really great Horse Site - Riding Stable. The site is organized by broad based topics allowing you to easily find horse and riding product to suit your needs. For example the section on Saddles categorizes the following saddles separately: All Purpose Saddles, Jumping Saddles, Dressage Saddles, Eventing Saddles, Western Saddles and Other Saddles. There is even a section on Horse Gifts and and Gift Sets for Horseback Riders.
The site also contains a series of articles that contain educational material for riders and horsemen. This resource is fantastic!
Every rider has experienced the situation where they ask their horse for a particular shape or movement and either nothing happens or something other than what they wanted happens.
As the horse moves along through his training, you go from showing him what you want to asking him for it and finally he knows what you want well enough that you can just tell him.
I have researched some statistics that will give you more chance of finding that winning horse racing bet, or more importantly avoiding a losing one.
