Some of my favourite things...

Turn up the volume and call your family into the room for these ones!




Click on this picture to watch one of the Freestyle Dressage Tests from the World Equestrian Games in 2006.




One of my good friends, and a fellow graduate of Meredith Manor International Equestrian Centre, sent this to me shortly after the WEG's in 2006. It remains one of my all time favourite videos to watch and to share with students AND colleagues (thanks Lizzie!!).






Click on the picture to view the video.

This video is from the freestyle reining at the All American Quarter Horse Congress also in 2006. This was one of, if not the, FIRST ever patterns performed both bareback and bridleless at congress. The quality of reining isn't nearly as high as the professionals competing WITH tack, but it's pretty darn impressive - believe me, I was there! This video, after being featured on the Ellen Degeneres Show as one of the amazing You tube videos of the week, was the motivation for Ellen to ask Stacy to be on the show. Have a peek on You tube if you are interested in seeing Ellen ride this same horse on her show!!



ENJOY :)
