Yesterday, I asked the universe if spring was really upon us, and I truly enjoyed a perfect spring day with delightful weather. Today, it is raining and snowing and sleeting. Really, I brought this on myself. I’m so sorry.

It’s happening: Jonty and Art are returning to competition! Jonty Evans announced that he and Cooley Rorkes Drift will return to eventing at Belton this spring, and he positively can’t wait. He just jumped his first cross country fences this week with Art, and says the horse feels great. What a recovery story! [The Return of Jonty & Art]
Dressage is becoming more and more important in our evolving sport, from Beginner Novice to 5*. If you’re interested in improving your scores, you better check out this article from Christoph Hess on how to become a great dressage rider and build a correct training system for all your horses. I like this article because he emphasizes that first and foremost, the rider must always admit that they made the mistake, not the horse. Bye bye, ego! [Ride Like a Professional Dressage Rider]
