Well today was a great day at the office! On Wednesday we went to the Florida Horse Park for a wonderful opportunity to school all three phases. I only did dressage with Woody. I had some good quality work, but at the cost of some anxiety in the movements that are worth double. So, on […]

Today was busy again, is it ever anything else when you have horses? Selena and Anne Marie were up early and off to Rocking Horse Winter 2. It is spread over four days and today is the dressage and show jumping for Foxwood High in the Advanced division. Tomorrow he comes back and does his […]

It was a fun day at both ends of NA. They had great fun at the Florida Horse Park on schooling day. Woody did a dressage test, King Brian did cross country, Zephyr did cross country, Anne Marie did cross country and show jumping with Riley and Selena also did cross country on a lovely […]

Does your saddle slide forward no matter what kind of girth or saddle pad you use? This is one of the most common problems my clients approach me with, and I know how frustrating this can be. I know there are a number of ‘anatomically correct’ girths now available on the market – they can […]

Not a fun day for O’Hanlon Eventing North. The snow came back with a vengeance and I have been snowed in at the farm for some hours now. I worry about the roads for the ladies who work for me. I know there were stuck cars everywhere today. The horses didn’t mind, they went out […]

Today is a working day and not our traditional day off. The horses have had two days off because of the extreme cold. When it warms up this afternoon they are going to have to get some work done! I am very happy to see the back of the cold snap. This morning I let […]

Today it is -25 and due to rise to a balmy -17 overnight. Tomorrow looks a bit more civilized in it’s temperatures, but today is definitely a non-riding day for everyone. This is our second straight day of not being able to ride because it’s just too darn cold. There is no wind and they […]

First event of the year has been a bit of a roller coaster to say the least. Woody did a much better test than Wellington and in the snaffle. Those movements that are worth double are REALLY HARD and costly! I had a great show jumping round and then found out the time was VERY […]

We got brave and put the OTTBs out in the big paddock with ‘the gang’ tonight. Rummy jumped into the dressage ring and was eating while Benny cantered around trying to get excited. Rummy wasn’t having any of it…lol. It was cute. I watched them walk down to the back and Benny tried again having a […]

Benny, Rummy and Solo have all arrived safely in Florida and are decompressing after their journey. They did the straight through run and they were in the trailer for 24 hours. I did all my worrying for nothing, they all drank well, took their RegenerEQ and carrots on the way down, and they are in […]
