The save of the week officially belongs to 10-year-old Isabella. All was going well for Isabella this weekend as she enjoyed a clinic with Kate Chadderton, until her pony decided to show off a few bucks while going downhill. Kate says Isabella handled the ordeal with grace and continued on like nothing ever happened. Something tells me she’s ridden other bucks like this before.

Tina Cook has shared 12 of her training principles. Some are expected, but there’s a few ideas in there we all could implement. Like jumping out of the walk. I dread doing it, and Tina says she does too, but it helps horses push off their hocks, and teaches riders to react quickly. So walk some fences as part of your winter homework.
