Re: Candy Crush - What level are you on?
Ack, I shouldn't have opened this thread. I didn't know what Candy Crush was so I loaded it on my laptop and the stupid thing is addicting. I'm only on level 18. But, that's just one day. When will it end? :shock: Omgosh ME TOO!! :lol: I don't like that you have to wait so long for your new lives. ...

Re: Introducing counter canter
For the counterbending (of the head and neck) at the canter, start small - Try a small counterflexion down the long side at the canter - keep your legs in the true canter position, and ask for the slightest counter flexion - so you get just a small turn of the head to the outside, while still canter...

Michaels makes some nice shadow boxes. It might be fun to do a sort of shadowbox scrapbook of her, a 3D sort of collage with the photos and the shoe, and the halter, or maybe even just part of the halter, an old bit, or some old dressage tests (if you have anything like that) maybe the tail braided ...

Fantastic. It is very nice to read the stories of the posters names I do recognize, as many of you were on UDBB before I was, and so I've missed the history! Keep them coming!

Re: Introducing counter canter
Bending and counterbending down the long side while in true canter will help. Also counterbent turns at walk and trot (and then at canter when you can do them at the walk and trot) so that the horse learns that he can turn with his head/neck bent in the direction of the turn and also with them bent ...

What a find! That is SO COOL. I collect old metal frames, I like to hang them empty on my studio walls.

Paula - I was a medical illustrator in Rockford! (I grew up in Champaign Urbana and went to school there and in Chicago!) And I discoverd rubber stamping a couple of years ago. It is soooo much fun. And the internet makes it even better, so many projects and ideas you can find online!

Because I can no longer look folks up when I get confused about who is who :cry: , and because I sometimes get posters with similar screen names mixed up :) , I'm wondering if everybody wouldn't mind sharing a little about themselves - hobbies, interests, etc. so I can get to know you better.

Holy cow, that third jump looks scary! I love how he's being SO tidy and careful with his front legs in the 4th one! Nice! I haven't jumped for ages (I used to do the hunters) but when I watch them schooling where I board, I want to play in that sandbox again!
