We’re not eventers, we just like to enjoy our horses and take in new experiences. This past summer, Our first year with OPRC, we took one of our horses swimming…it was one of the greatest experiences ever. Took my horse to a clinic and learned so much. I’ve met some really awesome people and learned so much that I didn’t know. I’m even getting more confident going places to meet friends without my hubby. Horse friends are important!

The Skype Discussion Groups is just beginning to gain traction. Welcome.

I board/ride at a small barn and as hard as I have tried, I cannot find anyone who will ride out with me. I love being with my horse but it does get lonely sometimes.

I ride with mostly people who are under the age of 22 (I’m 48) and they don’t want to discuss or care given that they are confident riders and have their own “teen” thing going on. I came back to riding after 25 yrs. and am completely new to dressage.
