Last night was the awards banquet for the National Capital Horse Trials Association. Tori and Alex Morgan represented Team O’Hanlon. We had a great showing and we were very proud of our up and coming riders and horses. Most of the horses Selena and Anne Marie competed on in 2015, have now gone on to […]
Well, it was a chilly morning and Anne Marie braided Woody beautifully as per usual. When we arrived at Longwood we were told we are over achievers with our braids. I didn’t realize no one was braiding. Oh well makes the video and pictures look good. I had an error of course in my dressage […]
Another of my lovely horses left to it’s new forever home and his new mum. It is so bittersweet when you know you have done everything right for them, but it’s time to let go and have them start their new life. I love buying horses, I love owning horses and I find selling horses […]
I am so enjoying being able to go over to the barn once a day and see the horses. A walk round the barn is my physio time and it’s the highlight of the day. The horses all look fat and glossy and I just swell with pride as I do my tour. Selena had […]
Today was my first visit to the barn since December 2nd, the day before my surgery. I got the OK yesterday to walk outside on dry flat surfaces. I am as slow as a turtle but I made it there, got to go around and say hello to all the boys and girls. I have […]

Articles on saddle-fitting are somewhat frequently published in horse magazines, both in print, or online. The articles are usually combined with a bulleted checklist (9 points, 11 points, and so on) to see if your saddle fits. However, the most important ingredient to a successful riding recipe is that the rider understands WHY the saddle […]
Today is my birthday and I am in Ocala, which is just the best present anyone could ask for. 🙂 The horses have the day off as is typical for a Monday and they are enjoying some turnout and vitamin D. I know I will get slammed for bringing up the weather, but it was […]
Today was high tension and excitement. It was our first ever Canadian Three Day team fitness testing assignment. To illustrate what I have been doing to stay on top of my riders fitness testing today, here are some pictures of my workout room. I am so lucky to have a brand new workout room courtesy […]
