Thank you for your replies! Yes, it's the aids used DURING the canter that I was curious about. I'm very happy with my transitions, but I'm now on the perpetual path of IMPROVING the canter. as far as aids to improve- similiar to gallopp- fluffing inside, create the inside/outside arrangement (base...

Hi guys, Off topic a bit but it seemed appropriate to post it here. Baby Kai arrived safe and sound today after nearly 18 hours of labour and I have very minimal damage so hope to be back in the saddle soon. Older brother Max (2.5) has stepped into his new role beautifully and I'm very proud. :) I ...

If that is a question, the answer is definitely yes. They can be nice.

sometimes, yes,

Not really my thing....

Lovely ride.

I would include something to the effect of "sound with some clinical X-ray findings, hence the reduced price" This is what I would say, too. Two issues here: Ad wording and X-ray releases. Let the new parties use what vet they want. Why? New x-rays can (sometimes) show different results. ...

I would be interested in the paddock boots if they are 9.5/10s

Also interested in saddle pads and polos! PM me.

Though I am not really looking for bits I could take 4.75" if you are giving them away and I'm already paying shipping on other stuff.

Ryeissa

I always liked him! really lovely job, what a nice boy

Ryeissa

Ryeissa did, I was told if they have it one place they can have it anywhere. I didn't know this till the neuro stuff started and we did more evaluation of her head and neck (un-related). She was on legend and adequan which helped generally so I can only assume it helped this as well. She died from s...

You ride her quite well! I love her too!
She is such a pretty color.

Looks like a TB to me? Nice horse overall. Looks to need a quiet rider.

Ryeissa

Funny that I have successfully diagnosed myself a few times, when the doctors couldn't....

Ryeissa

COTH has a lot of good health info in the various forums.

Everyone thinks they are "quite talented"... Proven ability at that level is the problem, with actually being able to produce actual collection and things the price would go up for me. Based on not trying the horse or seeing any video, from this thread alone I would say 2,000-4,000. USD *i...

My biggest thrill is getting more power with no rushing.

What did I change? zero leg to aid- organically flows as part of my work. Leg just goosed my horse and caused the reaction which resulted in flinging and rushing. I already have power, just now I choose to release it for a larger gait.

Ryeissa

this can be really hard! I have tried hard to pick topics that invite sharing but don't get to the "opinionated" stage. "Church polite". "I like your saddle pad" "How was your ride?" I share about my horse, but nothing that gives fuel to drama. I don't give an...

Another question I thought of - what about insurance? Is your trailer insured, and if yes for what? yes, for theft and liability if it swings out and causes damage. however, I checked that some of it is covered under the truck's policy. talk to your agent about your specific needs. I have it for a ...

So I am trucking away. you guys have been very prolific lately, and I have had my own small rewards. Sort of thinking about that collection in extension and extension in collection idea. I'm at the point where I can release energy into a longer stride vs kicking to get it, so that is fun. I sort of ...

I'm sorry but if my horse did they I would move on. I expect them to adapt to new things and not go balistic. I would not find this horse enjoyable, and I already have some anxiety and fear so this is not a horse I would keep. Maybe he'd be different in a pro program, a more consistent workload. But...

I was rather surprised to see that William Fox Pitt in eventing opted for his top hat even after suffering a TBI a year ago.

yes, but I guess in the end it's his choice. I don't quite get it, myself.

Horse was placed. thanks

I have found that having a shorter stirrup and more angle helps me half halt better. I never think a chair seat allows effective and balanced riding.
If you loose the angle and position there is no way to maintain inner rotation of thigh and tone.

Since one can only " cop a feel" when the horse is in motion, and then it's not as if you could put your own hands under your seat to feel how you are sequencing muscle engagement, I find the above mentioned post pretty unlikely to actually help riding. *shrug* My personal experience is t...

Rye, I love balance balls and I really airboats riders who use them, but core is not crotch imho. Unless I am misunderstanding what is meant by " cop a feel". autocorrect gone wild! Hahahahah.............. Right, I am talking about the tone we need to allow us to sit straight. This involv...
