Introducing the Stallion Showcase Attention Canadian Breeders! The Royal Agricultural Winter Fair is keenly aware of the important role that winning a breeding ...class at The Royal Horse Show plays in the advertising and promotion of your breeding stallions while highlighting the success of their descendants. As this has been a difficult year for many breeders, The Royal Horse Show is providing the opportunity for Canadian Breeders, with horses at stud in Canada, the opportunity to be featured in our online Stallion Showcase, free of charge. The Stallion Showcase will be an online publication in conjunction with our Virtual Royal presentation in November. To learn more and what breeds will be featured visit: https://www.royalfair.org/horse-show/competitors/ . #rawf20 #royalhorseshow #royalstallionshowcase #canadianbreeders

Here are two of Canada's too dressage risera, and guess what.? They have a program for those youngsters that we breed? And their working students would have learnt it, and many others. This would be a great add on to a National AGM for CWHBA, and invite our Canadian Sport Horse and Canadian Trakehner to join in the learner, with of course a session for the AGM and guests.

1838's Eight Things a Lady Equestrian Simply Should Not Do 1. Do not ride the wrong-colored horse.... Of all colours presented by the horse, none is so rich, and, at the same time, so elegant and chaste, as a bright bay; providing the mane, tail and lower parts of the legs, be black. But much white, either on the face or legs, whatever be the general hue, is quite the reverse of desirable. 2. Be easy, but not slovenly (in the saddle). Nothing can be more detrimental to the grace of a lady’s appearance on horseback, than a bad position, it is a sight that would spoil the finest landscape in the world. She ought to be correct, without seeming stiff or formal: and easy, without appearing slovenly. 3. Do not let your hair embarrass you. And definitely don’t wear a bonnet. The hair should be plaited; or, if otherwise dressed, so arranged and secured that it may not be blown into the rider’s eyes, nor, from exercise, or the effect of humid weather, be liable to be so discomposed, as to become embarrassing. To ride in a bonnet is far from judicious. 4. Do not beat your horse it is ungraceful. Ladies certainly ought not to ride horses which require extraordinary correctiona lady should never be seen in the act of positively flogging her steed: such a sight would destroy every previous idea that had been formed of her grace and gentleness. 5. Always ride with a man to shield you if your petticoats start to show! The only inducements for a gentleman to ride on the left of a lady, would be, that, by having his right hand toward her, in case of her needing assistance, he might, the more readily and efficiently, be enabled to afford it, than if he were on the opposite side; and, should any disarrangement occur in the skirt of her habit, he might screen it until remedied. 6.No lady of taste ever gallops on the road. Just say no. 7. Do not harass your horse. The lady, in all cases, should recollect that her horse requires occasional haltings and relaxationit is always better, if the pupil err in this respect, to do so on the side of brevity, than, by making her lessons too long, to harass her horse. 8. Though most of all do not ride a horse who is anything less than perfect. The Lady’s Horse: The beau ideal of this kind of horse is superlatively elegant in form, exquisitely fine in coat, and unexceptionably beautiful in colour; of a height, in the nicest degree appropriate to the figure of the rider; graceful, accurate, well-united, and thoroughly safe in every pace; ‘light as a feather’ in the hand, though not at all painfully sensitive to a proper action of the bit; bold in the extreme, yet superlatively docile; free, in every respect, from what is technically denominated ‘vice;’ excellent in temper, but still ‘though gentle, yet not dull;’ rarely, if ever requiring the stimulus of the whip, yet submitting temperately to its occasional suggestions.
