I have a week free from work in late August, and I’d love to take some sort of riding vacation. I’m an experienced dressage rider (competed through Grand Prix, r judge), so I’m looking for something more than head to tail trail riding, but I’ve been out of the saddle since getting pregnant with my now 8 month old. I’d be traveling without my husband but with my son, so I’m looking for something with baby sitting services while riding (I’m obviously out of riding shape so would be short rides anyhow). Any ideas? Doesn’t necessarily have to be Western but I thought a dude ranch type place may be my best bet? Thank you!

would not be any kind of ‘nose-to-tail’ trailriding.
You would find horses that are soft, willing and unlikely to require ‘translation’ when ridden in a manner consistent with Classical Dressage. (A heavy German-influenced, heavy contact style wouldn’t be well received.)
I don’t have any idea about the babysitting, but it’s probably worth calling about.
