Observations, inspirations, and musings from the equestrian life.
EquusTV.com has made available, online, a series of videos about the 2007 IALHA National Horse Show on behalf of the International Andalusian and Lusitano Horse Association.
See excerpts of some of the Riding Exhibitions ~ some of the Educational Clinics that were given, including a Conformation clinic, a Carriage Driving Clinic, a Halter Presentation Clinic and More! Significant people were interviewed and shared the thoughts you have probably never heard expressed including the Judges (Spanish, Brazilian, American) the Ringmaster, the Show Committee, Olympic Riders, Breeders....and Much More! This Behind the Scenes view of the Warmth, the Excitement and the Camraderie at Nationals is Infectious! You are sure to enjoy getting to know others who share your passion for these magnificent horses.
There are 20 videos so far, and more to be posted soon. Go to: http://www.equustv.com/IALHA.html
Hope you enjoy them! Share with your friends!
With warmest regards,

"From the toughest cowboy to the savviest clinician to the trail rider that lives next door, every person I come in contact with...........and every horse.......... teaches me something and has plenty to offer, if I just listen.
I believe in giving a horse every opportunity to succeed. This can sometimes be a slow and tedious process, depending on the horse's previous handling. I am not the trainer that says they can give you a broke horse in 30 days. I will move at the pace the horse is comfortable with and no faster." Theresa Sheridan http://www.tsheridanenterprises.com
Oh, Daughter of the Wind,
Come and ride with me!
Mount the gathering ivory steam
And gallop across the sea.
Twist your hands in silken mane
That billows wild and free,
Dig your heels into the cloud,
Race the Thunderheads with me!
Gallop o’er the glistening sand
Where Timeless Essence leaves a print
And run abreast against the hills
Where fading light leaves autumn’s tint.
Ride the sunset-shaded pony,
Lay your face in silver mane,
Lift your hands into the sky and
Catch the drops of evening rain.
Ride upon the Winds of Change,
And sail o’er mountain ridges,
Gallop down throughout the valley
Stop to build the needed bridges.
Descend from midnight starry steed
When storm is finally spent,
And gather from the cleansing rain
The healings that the storm has lent.
