And then there is the sound

the rush of water over ice as

It’s hard to catch the exact

When I was a little girl living
in Germany, I watched many
dressage riders train with
their horses and what always
stood out in my mind, even
back then, was that horse and
horses and riders worked
together. They seemed to be
one with each other, and no
one was forcing the horses to
perform. It seemed to me that
the horses were smiling and
having fun in training.
Anyway, I felt the really
deep caring that both horse
and rider felt for each other
and I knew that was the way
I wanted to proceed with my
horses’ training. I decided
that I wanted to learn more
about dressage, a five-hun-
dred-year-old art form.
Dressage has been in exis-
tence for hundreds of years
and is practiced in the purest
classical form today in only a
few schools throughout the
world. It is the educational
incentives and precise
schooling which set this art
form apart from other equine
sports. Dressage, translated,
means training through the
development of a special
communication with your
horse, your partner. Training
with the best interest of the
horse in mind, dressage
works with the natural move-
ment of the horse. It takes
approximately nine years to

Tips to save on car

to their professional, inde-
pendent insurance agent to
discuss what factors affect
their car insurance.
The price you pay for your
auto insurance can vary. It
depends on a variety of con-
siderations from what type
of car you have to where you
buy your insurance. Prices
are different from company
to company. Your profes-
sional, independent agent
will shop around to get you
the best value for your
money,” says John Obrey,
PIANH president. “Car
insurance premiums are
based on several factors. The
car’s price; the cost to repair
it; the driver’s safety record;
to name a few. However,
many insurers offer dis-
counts for features that
reduce the risk of injuries or
theft.”
PIANH offers a few tips on
how to save money on your
auto insurance:
Higher deductibles can
lower your costs. For exam-
ple, increasing your
deductible could possibly
reduce your collision and
comprehensive coverage
cost.
You may want to consider
dropping collision and/or
comprehensive coverages on
older cars.
Many insurers will give you
a break if you bundle, or buy
two or more types of insur-
ance.
Some companies will offer
discounts to drivers who
drive a lower-than-average
number of miles per year.
You also may get a discount
if you take a defensive driv-
ing course
If there is a young driver on
your policy who is a good
student; has taken a driver’s
education course; or is away
at college without a car, you
also may qualify for a lower
rate.
“Most insurance companies
will offer special ways to
save,” says Obrey. “To make
sure you’re getting all the
discounts available to you,
ask your professional, inde-
pendent agent to check for
all possible savings.”
