Grand Prix Great Richard Spooner
Anyone who has spent any time at the Jumper
Ring has certainly seen Richard
Spooner, either on one of his
many mounts, or helping someone from the
ground. He shows up first thing in the
morning with a backpack full of supplies
to keep him going all day, including a
full supply of horse cookies. He always
has a smile on his face and something
nice to say... >

Juniors: Setting Attainable Goals for the Show Ring
The start of the New Year is a
good time to formulate a game plan for
your riding. Take a realistic
look at your riding skills, the ability
of your horse and the amount of time and
money you can devote to the sport. Come
up with a list of goals. Then go to your
finance person for a consultation - this
is most likely your parents, although
you may be able to make a contribution
yourself if you have an after-school job
or other money saved up. Once you know
how much you have to spend, you can sit
down with your trainer and review your
options... >
