So I found something totally awesome in this month's issue of America's Horse.  Cowboy Dressage!  Yeah, dressage in western tack.  Whoda thunk, right?  But the philosophy behind it is dead-on:  dressage is for every horse, every rider, every discipline.  I mean, dressage is literally basic training of horse and rider.  It goes all the way back to Xenophon, and beyond.  So why should it matter what kind of tack is used?   *grins*   I plan on using this with my horses.  As soon as we're finished remodeling our new house. x___x

And I promise, I haven't forgotten about the tutorials that I promised Baki and the public at large (whether they know it or not).  I just haven't had time or inspiration lately. x__x  But I'll get there.
