Horsemanship Stories

This book is more of a personal book for myself. I will post helpful tips, rants, quotes and such for the Classical Dressage rider. There will be stuff for other disciplines and everyday riders, but all will form around Classical Dressage because it should be the base of everything. All opinions welcome as this book is all mine. My goal with this is to have my own book, but to have others give me there opinion and help people realize how amazing Classical dressage is for the horse/rider and soul!

At one point in time, Hailey Love was both a competitor and a trainer in the equestrian world. She was a veteran in the all-around show circuit, which included both Western and English disciplines, but new to training and showing her own horses in those competitions. After an unfortunate jumping accident at a high-level show jumping competition that resulted in the death of her beloved horse and partner and what could have been (and quite possibly escalate to be) a life-changing injury, she vowed to never show in that area of competition again. For a little more than seven months, Hailey completely disappeared from the eyes of the equestrian world, as both a trainer and a competitor.

But what will occur when someone shocking appears before her, asking for her to train him for the upcoming show season? Reference for Competitive Horse Show Rules AQHA Executive Committee.

Horses are magnificent creatures. They have bonded with humans for centuries and provided feelings of joy and happiness to many people. Most of us who live a busy fast-life in crowded cities will find comfort in horsemanship and feel alive while at it.

Do you know what it is like to be locked in a cold, dark and damp barn for at least six months, all alone, basically abandoned by people you though you could trust? Yeah me neither. It would be an awful feeling though wouldn't it, and whether you are a human or a horse, no one should ever have to go through it. But a horse did. A horse that did nothing to deserve it, one that because he experienced this trauma, may be mentally damaged forever....
