I had to do something; it was time for me (as possum, and even bobcats, Tommy was far from “typical.” Cesar Millan says) to become “pack-leader.” I did a lot of research on training methods, read advice from experts, watched videos, and talked to fellow dog owners. A “Dog Whisperer” I am not, and there was a lot of trial and error going on as well as a lot of people telling me that I was crazy (yes, well maybe sometimes just a little!)… Horses aren’t with you all day long, live in your house, bark or howl, and I don’t know of one that’s ever been potty trained. But I do know that to have successful partnerships with both equines and canines, it takes time, understanding and patience. Tommy and I have come a long way and he and I have made great steps together. He’s even learning (very, very slowly) to stop barking at the barn, but unfortunately he can’t always resist chasing the horses now and again. While he finds this tons of fun, I am quite sure that my mounts are not so amused. We now spend a lot of time playing together and when we can’t get to the barn, we head to the park. His anxiety attacks are gone; at home he relaxes by chewing away on his bone. No more crying or bathroom visits. Today it is rare to find me without my Crazy Coonhound, but from now on, I think I’ll leave the dog training the pros… horses are more my speed.

  • Alexandra Reid - Canada’S Rising Dressage Star by Alexa Cheater
    eCanadian Connection Alexandra Reid - Canada’s Rising Dressage Star By Alexa Cheater At 20 years old, Alexandra Reid of Carlisle, Ontario, has al- ready made a name for herself on the North American dres- sage scene. With aspirations of an international career, this up-and-coming rider is definitely one to watch. Reid had a remarkable 2012 season, claiming the bronze medal for her Young Rider Individual performance at the North American Junior and Young Rider Championship in Lexington, Kentucky. Days later, she was on a plane headed to the London Olympics where she groomed for Canada’s David Marcus, her coach of the past two years. Alexandra returned from London to make a clean sweep of the FEI Young Rider divisions at both the CDI-W NEDA Fall Festival in Saugerties, New York and the prestigious CDI-W Dressage at Devon in Pennsylvania riding VIP, an 11-year-old Dutch Warmblood gelding owned by Deborah Miculinic. With a combination of talent and tenacity, this rising star is sure to shine in 2013 as she continues to contest the Young Rider division. How did you begin riding? I always loved horses. I grew up in a small rural town so horses were very accessible. All of my friends had ponies and horses and there were plenty of schooling barns close by. What is your most memorable moment with horses? That special moment you share with a horse when you know Alexandra Reid and VIP they really know who you are, trust you and genuinely enjoy your company.
