I am looking at starting work on the counter canter as there is a loop to X in Novice 2.3 here (guessing you guys also have one in First 3?). I've just been researching the placement of the horse's body as I can't remember reading anything on this in this thread. The advice I have found is the posi...

You are is a lesson pony Not too fancy, more inclined to take it easy than to show off, You have shown countless people how to ride, forgiven their poor balance Tolerated their learning aids. You patiently waited till someone found their half seat before taking the jump, You lovingly found the dirti...

They have not been allowed in the US dressage warm up as long as I have been here, nor the UK when I showed there.

Hope you can reduce your stress!! Good luck with new renters. Congratulations on your efforts

Look, I have no dog in this fight but some seem to be shooting the messenger. Whether some object to their posts from elsewhere being posted here or on FB is not really the point, you are putting this site in legal jeopardy and potentially causing the new board owner headaches by doing things that ...

happy birthday!

happy?

Often fighting before leaving has two causes, the first is anxiety about leaving , a transition thing, and the second is not wanting to be vulnerable to the sadness so you fight to make it easy to leave.

i think there is a definite bias against perceived off breeds. easiest way to identify an off breed, sometimes, is color

we went to ikea and bought two wall to wall sets, they are square and deep and many of my husbands book collection is double shelved, they have lasted 15 years and do not look like they have buckled or worn at all. however we went and looked and bought the ones that were sturdy, well supported, and ...

Let me re-phrase. Go ahead and post anything that YOU said here. But other people, please don't. This IS amusing and I'm fine with posting it just so long as you understand why I removed a certain person's posts from it. understood and i will not do it again because i have no idea who might be upse...

i agree with Orono, horses can be placed very deep, very round and very low and closed with plain reins in a snaffle bridle this is a meaningless ban, in my opinion. If Rollkur has taught us one thing, it is that you can put a horse in a very deep very hyperflexed position without draw reins. The on...

Sorry I thought it was pleasantly amusing and wanted to share again.

there was a woman who spoke
she thought people would enjoy a joke
but people preferred to poke and poke and poke

agree with Jaybird use a dremel , do you have a new name plate to put on?

i am sorry your family were so late, and that it so poorly affects your plans. i like to be on time and was raised to be punctual to events, but my husband is awful horrible chronically late. it makes for so much stress and tension when anything is planned. i could never understand how anyone can be...

I am not very good at remembering this, and thought someone else might appreciate the wisdom as i have. Thank you to whomever made this meme to share

When i was in Florida a gentleman at the barn won the lottery and decided to buy a pleasure bred quarter horse, he purchased it as a yearling and asked me to start it under saddle as a four year old. it had never been hobbled, yanked bumped or abused in its life. i started it as i start most young h...

i stroll. I used to racewalk , about five miles and hour , and hike for pleasure, but severe arthritis in my knees and other joints has slowed that to a stroll. i have a treadmill in front of my tv upstairs, and so i stroll on the treadmill when the weather is harsh, but i really prefer to walk out,...

Chisamba

I prefer to not shoe if the horse can be barefoot, because one can take a little off the hoof with a rasp weekly, so that the high low syndrome is not as exaggerated over the six week period it takes before the horse is redone in shoes. i am not a farrier but if your farrier does a good trim, you ca...

I joined to ask breeding questions because i was not familiar with warm blood lines.

I have so many but one i remember clearly, i had trained a large number of client horses ( nine) and still had my horse to ride, and i almost did not ride him. but i kicked myself in the butt, and saddled up, it was also dark, with one arena light on each end of an outdoor arena. i think something a...

Chisamba

just remember how good horses are at association of ideas. If we ride in an enclosed area, for a while, maybe for years, every time the are asked to canter, the rail or wall is on their outside. you have to free them of that association. i will go and school canter around the outside of the dressage...

Chisamba

i go trail riding because i love it. I think it is good for the horses, both their legs and their minds. it is definitely not as pleasant to do on a certain type of horse. i try to make sure i have a good trail leader and a good trail caboose when i am taking a reactive horse out at first. at times,...

The posture is not that different than their natural unposed stance. Low head long neck.

I think you are naieve of you think animal extremists are not watching social media for ammunition.

Chisamba

The gait is modified and to my eye unattractive. I know there are behind the scene abuse that goes on, but sadly this is true of most Equine sports. That said it is not any more challenging or abusive to the horse than any other discipline at the top levels. Eventing, racing, dressage, endurance all...

How fun!!

what do i actually want in a candidate? moderate with the ability to work across party lines so that something can actually be accomplished. is there a candidate that shows that tendency? not in my opinion. With the House in its current state, what moderate candidate could possibly work with them? ...

raising the top tax bracket to 90% and subsidising co operative worker owned businesses,

i find bernie sanders theories frightening. i have lived in countries where major companies were taken away from their owners and set up ad co operatives, and i do not like the starving that happened to the lower income groups as a result of those companies failing.

they are doing their job perfectly lol

I have a standie cross, to b teach her to trot I had to experiment with speed, too far and she would gait, too slow and she would, Once I found her best tempo, if she broke gait I would pushed her slightly sideways to engage the hind until she resumed trot . it took about six months before she would...

I found some listed on eBay, do you eBay. I had to get wides for my son and did not get the flexible ones.

mine is a phone snap shot at our show yesterday, the three little ones to the right on their horses are my proteges, but i thought the setting was lovely.

I do not understand how anyone can post information on a publicly accessible site, that an be freely accessed and copied can still consider they own the rights to any of it. It seems illogical to me. I do know that if some one takes a photo of you in a public place, ( like a horse show) they own tha...

what size are your current stirrups, flexi have those rubber sides that take away about a half inch of the genuine size of the stirrup. five inch flex stirrups wide enough?

Not a drinker so I don't even have that excuse.

Helen was Ingrid Klimkes working student for several years, which ended when she took the ride on Damon hill from Ingrid.

It is really fabulous not to have to ride defensively. I lovely update.

when you said experienced riders i thought you were talking about skills, not age,:)

Five more years for me and my guy to qualify. There's a good chance we will make it. I'm fairly sure I will still be able to ride in five years (albeit maybe usdf w/t :D ) Not sure how my horse will hold up. However, it is not a goal and I would not do it. It's actually a joke amonst the younger be...
