| Rain, hoof hold-ups and a fixed end-goal date create challenges.
by Emily Flaxman
It’s not been a good month. We have a saying in England, “March - in like a lion, out like a lamb.” And boy, didn’t it just do that.
Starting with 10 solid days of heavy rain, everything got saturated and incredibly muddy. The horses’ hooves never got a chance to fully dry out and I ended up with four of mine suffering abscesses.

| Boarding, training and show facility is blossoming with new offerings.
by Kim F. Miller
You could say the Hansen Dam Equestrian Center has been hiding in plain sight. Located within view of the 210 Freeway in Lake View Terrace, the centrally located Los Angeles-area boarding, training and show venue is an equestrian gem that not everybody knows about. That status, however, may not last long as physical upgrades, energized management and marketing and hunter/jumper and new dressage competitions coalesce to capitalize on the property’s many amenities.

Jumping Pains
Question: I am an english rider and occasionally I do a little jumping. We always start out well with a few good jumps but as we continue, my horse becomes cranky. His head comes up, he flattens his ears and his neck gets stiff. Can you give me some information on why this might be happening and how I may correct this behavior.
