Hi there,
I was just wondering if anyone is doing any rider levels now, what level you
are, and what do you think of the program?
I am a Rider 3 Western and working on my Rider 4 and Coach 1. Also, I would like
to start English levels soon!! I want to hear about what other people think of
the program.
Got an opinion on the CEF Rider Program? Join in at http://www.atlanticrider.com/~dsears/cgi-bin/ubb/ultimatebb.cgi?ubb=get_topic&f=7&t=000012.

'Reggae' is an 8 year old Appendix Quarter Horse. Sound, no vices, very easy to work around. She is great on the trail, alone or with other horses, not spooky at all. She has excellent form over fences and loves to jump. $7000 (PE)
I am seeking a 2-horse trailer that is in reasonable condition, minor repairs are acceptable. It must be fairly cheap. (NF)
