		<description><![CDATA[The problem with saddles these days is there are just way too many choices! This is a real problem for me as I’ve finally considering moving away from the saddle I’ve been riding in for the past 16 years. Why? Well, it’s a 14” barrel saddle worn to perfection but it’s gotten a little snug (no comments needed) and the horn, being a tall, barrel style tends to catch my <a href="http://www.blackhorseblog.com/2010/03/synergist-saddles/">Continue reading this POST</a>]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[So what’s with bits these days? Back in my pony clubbing days in upstate NY we had the snaffle. When you got to more advanced work in dressage there was the double bridle and if four reins were just a little too tough to handle, you could always cheat and use a Pelham bit with a “rounding” to join the curb and snaffle reins into one, thus giving you only two reins to work with. <a href="http://www.blackhorseblog.com/2009/11/bit-types/">Continue reading this POST</a>]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[A few months back I was lucky enough to find a beautiful pasture to lease for our four horses. It's five acres of beautiful grass, trees, seasonal creek and two shelters. The pasture hadn't been used in a while and although it was fenced, there was some work that needed to be done to the fencing as well as the main shelter in preparation for the horses.

Sixty feet in diameter is best, smaller and you run the risk of straining a young horses legs when cantering and larger means a <a href="http://www.blackhorseblog.com/2009/08/basic-equipment-for-training/">Continue reading this POST</a>]]></description>
