He's not body sore anywhere but I think a little mind-sore about the idea of greater collection. I asked for too much too soon. As my trainer said, this is 2nd level, not FEI... truth.... !!!!!!!! :lol: Its so hard to know (for me) how much is enough, too much, just right.... oh well, I'm doing the...

My thinking is that, with any subject, if you are of a completely different opinion it serves no purpose to post on that topic. I'm mad at myself for not realizing that a decade or more ago. truth! COTH is getting way way to political for me, I can usually tell subjects, but at times the headings a...

People just form cliques naturally, unfortunately. It took me awhile to catch on, but the connections are often made behind the scenes, and the result is that those alliances often make just about everyone in the conversation appear to be completely mad--until one realizes that almost no one is pos...

jingles for a quick recovery!!!!!!!!!!!!

I've been more active on the FB dressage groups, and COTH has off topic 24/7 now. quite a few regulars there.

I have a ton of UDBB as FB friends, too.

I Pmd you thought FB, I'm selling a saddle

OMG, my horse would not have done well either. that is very scary!

re: Longing:

My horse didn't really like longing for awhile, he liked the "hug" of the leading and groundwork where I stood closer by him. More interaction and security.

yes. in my state as well.

So I sort of mis-read that right side thing-- he is still doing it on the ground but I'm also seeing more of the haunches moving away, so that is why he seemed to be doing a LY out. Trainer had some great advice. We are definitely reaching a new point now where I can start to ride in self carraige s...

I use a parelli air pad, its not awesome but it works.

Ryeissa, could It simply be that he respects you on the ground more, and moves out of your space ? I wondered that too, but why is this correlated Left and Right? He doesn't do it at all going left. Could also be that I had a whip in this un-mounted work, maybe I was holding it differently in the r...

Ryeissa

Okies, I need help understanding something. My horse does not like to take the right rein. Going left he prefers to swing haunches right, look left, and not take right outside rein. Going right he likes to throw his shoulder into my right thigh and throw haunches left, needs babysitting with right f...

that is great! Make sure we get updated!

Did you try FB blanket for sale groups? and tack groups?

I second (third?) SS tack, they have good products.

Ryeissa

I like it! really pretty. He is the perfect horse to have that kind of sparkle.

Ryeissa

oh dear!

I'll be watching the live stream! how exciting

Ryeissa

I wouldn't expect a NH person to know about dressage, its ok. they are for different purposes. I've learned more from NH then dressage lately though, as long as I don't expect a dressage lesson. that is why I have a dressage trainer. you sort of have to disregard what isn't working and find what is ...

Ryeissa

I can't say I want to put print on my butt, personally, but I like to see people having fun!

Ryeissa

the video I see is a western horse, not a dressage horse???

Warwick is a natural horsemanship trainer.

how I would fix it? good question. it sort of depends on that horse, better to ride it and then form a plan.

Ryeissa

Interesting! I've done a lot of work to weight my seatbones equally. The seatbone that likes to float also has the thigh that is harder for me to use on the saddle and plug in. I use thigh to keep the horse bending and from throwing his shoulder against my knee. I use Right thigh and right seatbone ...

Lovely!

adorable! I just love him. I'd think about keeping him. His mom reminds me a bit of Riot

Ryeissa

One idea from Paul Belasik: Traver down long side in canter, make an 8 or 10m circle still in cantering HI, HP back to rail, at rail continue down longside in counter canter. Flying change when you want. So essentially you go down the longside, circle, and come back in the opposite way. I love games...

shar peis. definitely

awww so sorry to hear of your loss.

Ryeissa, yes I did forget to cancel, but I have subscribed from about nov to march every year for the last few years, and I would have continued to do so, but he traded that three month subscription for years of subscriptions, plus all the good PR I spread about the web site. I admit to being derel...

I like the one he has, honestly. I think the other ones are too much.

There is a month to month subscription. They make it really clear that it's a full payment for that term, and you will get charged. You forgot to cancel and now you are mad at THEM? Generally you do get to keep the subscription for the full period you paid for, so that is weird. I am in the US and t...
