The Chronicle Of The Horse

It’s coming! 😱

Ditch the irons in November to prep for the ANRC National Equitation Championship in April. Riding without stirrups will strengthen all 4 fundamentals of a good working position. Your scores in the Flat, Derby, and Medal phases will surely benefit from the hard work! (And if you don’t know the 4 fundamentals you should probably spend December studying up for the Written phase.)

Plus, The Chronicle Of The Horse is offering prizes to riders who stick with it!
