Another day of exciting dressage on the books! Unfortunately for me, my horse, who was lazy as all get out two weeks ago in his test, thought today was extremely exciting and used it as an excuse to practice some extra “dressage” moves in the arena. Ah well, we’ve all had those days, and I’m sure there will be more of them. Part of the beauty of Nyls is that you never quite know what you’re going to get, even in back to back events. On to jumping!

April Fool’s day was not just for EN readers, but all over the horse world. While Horse & Hound announced that Hugh Grant would be taking over editorial duties, Dubarry revealed that they were working on a leather bra made out of the same material as their classic boots. For everyone who was taken in by an April Fool’s joke, here is a great collection of jokes that appeared this week. [April Fools Horse People!]
What could be better than John Whitaker interviewing Ludger Beerbaum? Not a lot of things, as it turns out.

Listening to two amazing riders like this is fascinating. [John & Ludger]
One of my all time favorite products: Equifit Adhesive Gel Squares. I was turned on to these by a supergroom friend of mine last year and they have saved my life since then. EquiFit Adhesive Gel Squares release a medical grade mineral oil to moisturize, soften, protect and cushion affected areas or places that are prone to rubs. I keep them attached to the back of my cross country boots so that my horse doesn’t get horrible rubs from the water and the sand. [SmartPak Product of The Day]
