This message is from: Cynthia_Madden/OAA/UNO/[EMAIL PROTECTED] Anne, Thanks for your comments. The part about stamina was especially a new thought. But I can understand where you are coming from. I think Tank has a fairly good hind end from driving. It is a excellent way to build up a hind end though he would use himself somewhat differently under saddle. Driving is also a great way to build up stamina. I have printed out your message to put with my training information.
I hope you will continue to provide your knowledge in this area to those of us on the list. At Blue Earth last year I was surprised to see the number of people who use dressage training under saddle compared to those who are trained western. The percentage of dressage trained horses was significantly higher. As usual, the quality of information to be shared on this list is excellent. Who is planning on being at the MFHC meeting in Galena next month? It looks to be an excellent meeting with Wayne Hipsley providing a clinic. Contact Sharon Falck at [EMAIL PROTECTED] if you haven't made your reservations. Hope to see many of you there. Cynthia Madde Omaha, Nebraska USA [EMAIL PROTECTED]
