CHAPS - These are the kind of chaps Annabelle lends to Grace for her job at the stables. They're great to wear in the summer, because you can just zip them on over shorts. These days I mostly ride in half-chaps, but when it's really cold - minus 20 or colder - I wear my old chaps to keep my legs warm!

GIRTH - These are girths for an English saddle. Notice how they're contoured to fit around the horse's legs and belly? Also, one end is elasticized. The elasticized end always goes on the left side (the side you mount up on). English Saddle, Horse Tack, Contour, Left, Fitness, Leather, Contouring

EXTENDED TROT - This horse is doing an extended trot. See how her legs are really reaching and, also, how her hind hoof is going to land in, or ahead of, the print made by her front hoof? I love this picture because it's of Karen Brain (http://www.karenbrain.ca/) Canadian Paralympic dressage medalist. Isn't she an amazing rider?

FARRIER - I've always thought if I went back to school to learn anything, it would be how to be a farrier. A farrier specializes in hoof care; they trim and balance horses' hooves and create and fit shoes, if needed. It's an incredibly physical job - watching a farrier at work is amazing.
