Horseshoe Lake CEI Challenge ride
What a wild ride that one was!! The Endurance Riders of Alberta held the Horseshoe Lake ride as a FEI/CEI 3* 160 km ride, as well as other distances. Darginka and I did the 25 mile (40 km) ride both days and Steven was our driver and groom extraordinaire! I didn’t take any photos, although [...]
yearlings Darius & Hasil
Congratulations to Jim and Connie Rawski of Canadian Endurance near Toronto, Ontario for their purchase of Darius (Arim-Doba) and Hasil (Arim-Hrizantema).

Akhal-Teke conformation
Here are some of my favourite horses (for different reasons) from photos I can find. I want to learn more about conformation and think about what draws me to these photos. In general what is good conformation? Which is the fastest, the best for endurance, the best jumper, the best for dressage? And also, how much are body types affected by training (type/or lack of)?
