hunter/jumper barns in GTA?
(Preview)
Can anyone reccomend a hunter/jumper barn that offers lessons that is a reasonable distance from Toronto, and/or accessible by public transit? Not including the Horse Palace or Sunnybrook Stables, both of which are out of my budget. All leads appreciated!

It feels like the balls of my feet are on the stirrup, but I still get told to take more of my foot out of the stirrups, at which point I feel like my foot is falling out. How is it supposed to feel (with the mech...

Jumping ideas for a dressage horse?
(Preview)
What would you suggest as simple, non-scary (for the rider!) jumping exercises that might benefit a dressge horse? We have a few cavalletti at our barn and I'd like to incorporate a bit of jumping into my horse's winter routine.
