Innovative Student Produces Unique Product

Hey All: I am so excited for Dana! She's been working on her Martell System for the past couple of years. I've seen all kinds of prototypes tried, and ridden in over that time, and have had the privelidge of seeing this product being developed since it's inception.

Dana has even had an Olympic dressage rider/coach look in amazement at the product, and be really excited about it! It's been tried by International level riders, Equestrian product testers, and saddle makers receiving rave reviews!

I can't get into too much detail because of the provisional patent, but last Sunday I taped a 90second clip with Dana and Allie to be entered on "Pitch4Profit" on CBC!

This product will help you with balance, synchronization, and has a "safety" factor built in. Put it to you this way; I've seen Maverick buck, and Dana laugh her pants off, because she did'nt even come out of the saddle. It's awesome for sitting trot, and keeping your legs in the correct position.

Best yet? You can't see it! So I don't see any problem even using it in shows for ANY discipline of riding!

It really does work; I'm so looking forward for this product to launch, as I am the first one in line to get them!

Click on the title of this blog, and vote for Dana; so she can go further with this product with funding. The final voting for the public closes on Feb 19, so please go to the link and vote!

The Ground Hog Lied!

Hey All: Hope you are keeping warm. It's pretty darn cold here at the farm. For the first time in years, I'm having to clear the ice out of the water buckets in the main barn! It's about minus 3C in there, but with this wind howling, no where is warm right now.

Last Saturday I attended the Arabian Horse Association AGM in Niagara Falls. A day's worth of meetings and the awards banquet. Allie again won the Rivendell Dressage Trophy, and I have a really nice embroidered Bridle Bag too! Allie is going to have to share it with Doc and Mav if we travel.

Lauren again won something else; the Canadian Sport Horse Dressage Award for Junior Riders in Ontario. I don't know the exact title, but she was in Cambridge to pick up her award on Sunday. Congrats Lauren and Moon.

The judge for Region 18's dressage championships is Peta Christen. She will also be judging the first Arabian Dressage Show at Milestone the first weekend in May. Don Barnes is judging the second show there in July (the first weekend).

There will be NO last chance show for dressage at the Regionals. So if you have to qualify, please do so before at either an EC Show or the Dressage Shows in the Arabian Circuit.

Zone 9 in Peterborough is offering Arabian Dressage and Sport Horse along with the Eastern Canadian Breeders Championships the first weekend in June, so I imagine we will be having a few horses from the stable attend that.

So in the mean time, keep warm.
