Cowboy Dressage
with Eitan Beth-Halachmy
"Poetry in Motion
Understanding the Horse From the Inside Out"

There are videos and then there are videos and I have seen hundreds of them, but none like this one. If you would like to ride a better horse, here is the place to start. Step by step with the best horseman I know. It's the best investment in the horse industry. You can't show me a video comparable.".... Jack Brainard "


Eitan has produced and narrated a new video that is a work of art, but, more important, a work of tremendous value to any rider. Beautifully illustrated with videography and animation, this video will help any serious rider, regardless of whether they are expert or relatively novice, to understand how they can get the most out of their mount"....

TRADITIONAL HORSEMANSHIP ASSOCIATION & COMPETITION/CLINICS
Here is a short little video we finished that explains what this competition is about. As we 'speak', there is a clinic going on this weekend in California (and several private clinics next week), where people are learning all about this fun and exciting new way of competing - that your horse will love too! What's different about it, is that it's actually FAIR TO ALL BREEDS...what a concept, eh?
It will embrace vaquero, western, etc. Check out the video clip below if it isn't showing on the blog. http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=2769371775847135300&hl=en

Now being revived, this footage is from that first event in Portugal in 1996...Clinics being held all over the USA to learn this competition. Email for more info: tmundi@bellsouth.net

How To Make Horse Christmas Tree Ornaments

Yesterday I was watching a video of a craft show and the hostess was making
ornaments. This would be so cool for our horses. She was doing them in sepia
(antique photos of grandma) or color of current things.

Here's what you do. Buy clear glass ball ornaments with removable top
hangers. Buy acetate (clear) that runs thru your printer. It needs to have
one rough side to it. Take a photo in your computer and copy it onto the
rough side of the acetate. You want the photo to fit on a 4" round circle.
How you test for size is to use a large ornament, cut a 4" circle in a piece
of paper. Set the ornament in the hole and if it JUST FITS, you know it's
the right size circle for the ornament.

Okay, After you have the photo on acetate cut out, roll/curl it and slide it
INTO the ornament. Use a knitting needle to position the photo upright
inside the ornament. Put the top back on, glue it in place if you decide to
put any glitter inside the ornament.

You can leave it as is, or you can drizzle glitter paint on the top of the
ornament like snow would look on a fence post, or add greenery or bow.
Her samples looked fabulous: scenery, church stained glass window, family
groups, etc.

Thought this might appeal to some of you crafters. Just think how great your
horses would look, or you could do this as a gift for another horse owner.
