Bolero
Bolero is a kind, sensible 2006 16.3 bay Oldenburg gelding by Showdown out of a Corlander mare. Though bred for ShowJumping, he has several years of rated Dressage Showing under his belt. He has spent the last 4+ years as an Adult Amateur schoolmaster in dressage and showjumping. He has competed once in Eventing before he embarked on the dressage career. This is a super easy horse to live with. He's light in the bridle without being super sensitive. He canters down to the bottom of fences and is a suitable amateur type. He has few miles on him, so is sound and healthy. Hasn't been living on drugs or maintenance...hes the tough sort. Ready for his own human!

FUN FACT: Blue feed & water buckets are better! Why? Horses like blue! In a 2020 study, KY Equine Research (KER) found that horses were more likely to drink out of turquoise or light blue buckets over red, yellow and green buckets! Their dichromatic color vision causes them to only see blue and yellow, and they prefer blue! #TheMoreYouKnow So get some blue buckets, some #HydraBoost, and keep your horse happy and hydrated this summer! 💙🐴 💦

MANY years ago, I did one two-day clinic with George Williams. Two lessons that were a total game changer. I didn’t understand either of them immediately—not even close. No joke, I spent years trying to sort out those two lessons.
The topic? Timing.
He has a series of exercises he calls “kindergarten exercises.” They’re not kindergarten, as in “uneducated,” they’re kindergarten as in “start here—do this first.” Over and over, he’d say “and now, and now, and now” in the same rhythm of the gait.
Timing is a thing I had managed to be pretty successful without a great command of, but when it was introduced so formally and simply, I had to have a good long life-choices think about how I’d gotten along without.
Here’s my favorite example:
The beginning of a trot half pass can easily be misunderstood as a canter aid because the two aids are very similar feeling to the horse. Oops. (Could also substitute haunches in for half pass here)
Let’s say I’m going to start a left half pass in the trot. I ask for left bending in the corner, then when the right front leg is touches the ground, and I’m just before the corner letter, I close my outside aids once and ask for half pass. Not too bad, right? There’s a catch, if I aid for half pass in opposite timing, when the left front leg touches the ground, that’s also the timing for my canter aid. I’ve officially ridden my horse into having to guess. Half pass or canter?
A horse physically can’t canter if you aid when the outside front leg is down. An obedient horse will either pick up counter canter, or take one extra step that brings the inside front down, so he can then strike off to canter.
Outside front leg, half pass.
Inside front leg, canter.
Timing, I tell ya…it might take a lifetime or two to sort it out, but it’s nearly magical when it starts to come together.

RIP Bill Redline Massey. Bill had been a fixture as a photographer at many events in Area II from the 80’s to 2000’s. More recently, he focused on Models and portraits, but never traveling far from his love of capturing the horse/human relationship. We hired him to take our Hagen grandkids in the fall of 2018. He was wonderful with them, as seen in this photo I took at the shoot. Let’s fill his page with images he’s captured over the years!
Update: When/If there is a planned memorial, we will post it here.
So nice to see how many people he touched!

Why trainers PUSH horses TOO FAST
Klaus Balkenhol explains, "Although breeders have created a better horse, the market has created a demand for a stronger, healthier, more powerful horse. It's easier to sell a horse that looks like a carefully developed eight-year-old, and not like a three- or four-year-old just beginning his career. If you force it, you can get a three-year-old to physically look like a developed eight-year-old. Too many c**ts remain stallions which, if approved, promise breeders higher prices as three-year-olds. Now 250 to 300 young stallions are presented each year, when only 40 or 50 will be approved.
Few breeders have the sense to geld the yearling stallions and leave them on the pasture to mature naturally. Instead, yearling stallions are brought into a stall, fed too much grain, and at three, look like six- or seven-year-olds. They have muscle mass, but not enough bone structure to support it. They look mature from the outside but aren't . . . and when started to work, degeneration sets in. Competitions also create pressure to push horses too fast as competitions are now scheduled throughout the year without any breaks."
Common Mistakes In Pushing Too Fast
Tightening the noseband: "A horse resists by sticking out his tongue. Tightening the noseband too much puts pressure on the nose and on the poll. If it is necessary to tighten the noseband very tightly, then something has gone very wrong in the basic training of the horse. The horse cannot be relaxed, the first step on the training scale," warns Klaus.
Specializing too early: "Drilling every day in the indoor arena is too intense for the young horse. It's very important, especially in the first two years of training, not to specialize the young horse. Training should include a variety of activities, including trail riding, which is good for the mind as well as building strength with hill work. It should include jumping, either free or low jumps under saddle, including small natural obstacles on the trail, and cavaletti. A variety of work will allow the horse to stay mentally fresh and to enjoy his work. Only when the horse is happy can dressage become art."
Not checking tack frequently: "Saddle and tack need to be checked constantly for proper fit and adjusted as the horse's body changes with growth, and as his fitness improves with the training. If the noseband gets too low, for example, and the skin between the noseband and the bit is rubbed and becomes sore, this causes the horse discomfort and loss of relaxation. Regularly check for sharp edges and bit problems in the horse's mouth and teeth."
Working too long: "The goal of our training is to build the horse's mind and his muscles. Suppleness and relaxation require adequate muscle strength. strengthening requires both contraction and relaxation. Blood flow and oxygenation occur when the muscle relaxes. If the muscle is kept in a constant state of contraction, it loses power and strength, and actually becomes smaller. Frequent rest periods, especially for a young horse at a free walk on a long rein, are necessary. The rest periods are not for a rider's fatigue, but to allow the horse to stretch and relax his muscles. The rest breaks will give you a completely new horse. This is the systematic gymnasticizing of the horse."
Riding when the horseman is tense: "Horses are particularly sensitive to the rider's mood. A rider shouldn't ride if she is under undue stress or doesn't have the time to ride. If the rider has a bad day, give the horse a rest day or go for a relaxing trail ride; don't work in the arena. The horse mirrors the rider's mood."
Not praising the horse enough: "The horse must perform from joy, not subservience. Praising a horse frequently with voice, a gentle pat, or relaxing the reins is very important to keep the horse interested and willing. If the horse offers piaffe, for instance, because he's excited, praise him for it. You shouldn't stop the lesson at that point nor make a big deal out of it. If you don't want piaffe, quietly urge him forward into trot, but you should NEVER punish him for offering the piaffe. - Klaus Blakenhol

We happily took a group to Loch Moy for their jumper schooling! Started off with Catherine and Bowie for 3 great Elementary rounds! Olivia and Arthur rode beautifully and stayed to support the crew! Julie and Ruleena got over their worry and cruised around for a couple super rounds. RS Bella got to take Princess Romy around BN and Nov and flex her jumping skills! She gave Colette and Rave a lead around the first course and Rave totally figured it all out! So fun to watch! Our Training level ladies Sophie/Stan, Maya/Ribbons and Sophie/Rhaps had super rounds showing all the hard work is paying off! Shout out to Elizabeth for helping us out again on the ground! This was a wonderful and perfectly timed schooling opportunity and we are so grateful to have this venue so close! Maya Kozauer Sophia Kozauer Bella DuPree Sophie Gary Julie Wight Colette Scivally

While my two #fourfieldssporthorses #unicorns are having a post-season holiday, I’d like to put the spotlight on this client horse, Rocky, owned by Sara Norman!! He is extra special to me not only because he is one of Bascule Farm LLC’s #homebred #rotwingbabies from one of our favorite ex-show now-lesson horses, but also because he was one of the horses that I had a part in training when he was young, and eventually he found his way back into my program when purchased by Sara Norman (won’t let me tag you, Sara!) a couple years ago. He has been such a pleasure to work with, and getting to watch him grow, strengthen, and become more educated over the years has been such a blessing, and I am even more excited to continue to watch his partnership with Sara develop, as they were absolutely meant for each other! Also - for anyone considering the Equiband system…highly recommend! It’s done wonders strengthening his hind end and topline, I’m a believer! #rockstarhorses #greatclients #somuchfun #equiband #hannovarian #dressagehorse #dressage #winterbootcamp #eventersdressagetoo
Every day people are discovering the natural social distancing properties of horseback riding. The August Issue of The Equiery features tips for finding a lesson stable and highlights some of Maryland's lesson stables and discover centers.

This former working student waved from the highway as we passed by on the way to Virginia. Miss you guys, but we're Florida bound!
Got some great shots of jumping at Bascule Farm LLC it's such a great show to build confidence for horses and riders. Nic and Steph, Belle and Zineb Moussafir, and Vito and Sam all had such a good day!
