I love horses. I primarily ride dressage and plan to become a Grand Prix rider one day, although today I am still at Training Level. Here are some places I visit to get practice ideas as well as places I think are great if you are looking to adopt a horse.
Dressage Tests: This is a Canadian site, but they have all the dressage tests in the full test format. These are out of date currently, but the are still good to practice with. Just don't practice them for a show!
The British Horse Society: This is like Pony Club in Britain.
Elvenstar Horsemanship Manual: The Elvenstar Riding Academy has a great progression program.
NCDCTA: The North Carolina Dressage and Combined Training Association website.
The Chronicle of the Horse Giveaways Forum: Two of my favorite things - horses and freebies!
Articles from the Instructor: This is a list of horsemanship articles on the Certified Horsemanship Association page.
Classical Dressage Notebook: British site with great articles on the elements of dressage.
The Art of Classical Riding: Articles rated by level.
Horse Training Communication: This is on a gaited horses site, but has good information on the proper communication between horse and rider.
Horse Training Articles: Meredith Manor International Equestrian Centre has a nice site with lots of helpful short horse training articles.
ClassicalDressage.com: Question & Answer Forum
The Horse Magazine: Articles, articles, articles. On Dressage, Eventing, Showjumping, Rider Fitness, Horsemandship, and Breeding/Nutrition.
Training for Endurance Riding: Not something I plan to do anytime soon, but have a slight interest in.
