I’m a visual learner — you can talk at me until you’re blue in the face or write a novel on the subject, but until I’ve seen it with my own two eyes it’s going to go right over my head.
For instance: dressage tests. I need to watch a test be ridden for it to stick in my brain. ESPECIALLY at the lower levels … all those 15- and 20-meter circles just blurring together in my brain like clothes in the spin cycle.
Thankfully, Eventing Training Online has done us a massive in posting video demonstrations of the 2018 USEF dressage tests for Beginner Novice through Training horse trials, complete with movements and directives. Bonus: Click here for helpful test-riding tips from Marilyn Payne via her preview presentation at the 2017 USEA Convention.

After Ecovet fly spray is applied, the fatty acids in its formulation evaporate and create a vapor barrier around the horse. This confuses and overwhelms an insect’s normal directional ability — basically its “GPS.” Thanks to this Ecovet barrier, the insect simply can’t locate the horse as its next victim.
