Hello all. Khall, thanks for thinking about me and asking. I retired from riding completely in January of this year. The reasons are various, but it was pretty much a no choice situation. Other than that, I'm still in good physical health and hibernating due to covid.

I inquired about this, but I can't find the email with their reply. It was reasonable, but I guess it all depends on what one feels is reasonable. My quote from from California to Lexington, Ky. Then I'd have to ship up to NJ from KY, and there are always trucks on that route. I got my quote from Te...

Did this opportunity materialized? Has anyone heard from Linden recently?

Actually, we did consider buying this property before the neighbor from hell bought it. When we went into the house, we just could not see any reasonable way to renovate it. It's an old house. The one bathroom was installed in an area such that only a midget could use it. The house would have to be ...

I'm getting ready to show in February so I'm going to be body clipping Junior again at the end of January. I've been keeping up with the blanketing struggle and he's tolerated it well. The one thing I did do was buy myself a Christmas present that I've wanted for DECADES; so, I finally did it. I bo...

Offer accepted. Now need to get moving on due diligence and getting this place in order and on the market... I have a "Stager" coming in the morning for a consultation, which should be interesting! OMG. Congratulations Mountaineer. It's exciting and scary at the same time. Best of luck!

When I was showing hunters, something my trainer said I've never forgotten. It was something like "horses have only so many jumps in them". What she meant was that it was not wise to over-school jumping or go in too many classes. Well, the same goes for dressage (imo). Each time you do hig...

I found this from USDF. The Aids: The aids for half pass are the same as for travers. The rider’s weight is to the direction of travel and the inside seat bone is advanced, with the inside leg at the girth and the outside leg behind the girth. The inside leg is extremely important – the half pass mu...

MC - What your described with the taller trainer vs petite rider schooling the horse is exactly what happened to me years ago with my PT/QH. Tall rider would swing his leg back and high for canter transitions - then I got on 5'2" and no way can I move my leg that far back and high. Besides I s...

A while back, I got corrected for my inside hand in trot half pass. Trainer wanted it like an opening rein. What I see is more of an indirect rein being used by the BNT's. In fact, I just saw Gareth Hughes doing it in his first half pass on the link Tanga provided. This is where I run into conflicts...

Wonderful Tanga. No time for it all now, but watch just the start of Garth riding.

Yeah this full training thing bugs me too, even though I was in it. I guess I've seen the light, or maybe I'm still in the dark. I do think that while someone is learning the basics of riding they should be under the supervision of a trainer. But after you get to a certain point, hopefully with the ...

Why does this irk me big time? It's none of my business. It doesn't affect me. I guess I just hate to see people getting used. These people don't realize they are getting used though, so I guess it doesn't matter. As long as they are happy, right? Most recent one I saw the rider can't even get the h...

I have bought 4 without seeing them. However, they were all checked out extensively so that I knew their background. I won't buy from 'a dealer'. For one thing, I really don't like to pay commissions, especially hidden commissions.

Perhaps you missed it, but I wrote in the first post that the neighbor has the right to use the driveway to get into her pasture. It's in the deed, survey or whatever document.

Sometimes it just helps to vent even though nobody can help me with this. I have the neighbor from hell. She is just a downright loathsome individual. I have 44 private acres, but it's a 'flag lot'.

I don't see how they would help with your right rein contact problem. I can see where they would be good for x-country jumping on a pulling horse when the reins get wet or sweaty. What kind of reins do you use now? I use leather ones with notches.

For anyone interested, this is a story about my friend's horse. My friend imported a huge 18.2 just turned 6 year old. He came with xrays and she got more done when he arrived. None on the neck though. She had a host of problems with him initially. Some were similar to Blob's horse with the stopping...

His head tossing can be so dramatic that I'm worried he's going to catch me in the face one of these days. Saddle has been checked, but I think i might just try riding in a different one to be sure. And while I"m fairly certain this isn't a mouth issue, i will also have his teeth checked. He d...

I don't know for certain that I hold my breath, but whatever I do is likely not a good thing. The problem I find with training is that you can only work on so much in a ride. There should be a plan, but that plan should be based on certain prerequisites being in place. For example, why start counter...

Not necessarily, MC. See above in thread for my reasons for posting it (there are half pass discussions/demonstrations). Oh ok, you mean this: -Demand proper balance all the time (especially corners). Stop and re-balance and go again as necessary to raise the standard. -Helpful canter half pass dem...

I Probably the best insight I've had is to never abandon the power of my seat as a communication tool. Often instead of more leg or more rein, I've needed "more seat" (or more proper, clear seat) in order to make communication crystal clear. I am a seat rider, especially with my current h...

Riding through stiffness in my journey has never produced good work. For me neither which was the hangup for me with lessons.

I think conformation limits how well a horse can perform certain movements. Appropriate exercises of course improve some things.

Sitting the trot came very easy to me and I can't understand why it's a problem for so many. Developing feel, which is another thing that seems to have been a problem for many has not been for me.

Musical. For hair that is sticking, Haas makes a rubber hand held gadget (Smartpak sells them) that works like magic to remove stubborn hair. I use it on all my saddle pads and clothes now.

With RP, I don't canter in the warm up. He is very sensitive, but not necessarily hot or go go go out the gate. And can get flustered easily. If he doesn't have lots of good easy trotting with changes of bend, frame, and tempo, he'll be tight and excitable in the canter and it'll be much harder to ...

My trainer does not include canterining in the warmup. When asked why not, I was told because the trot is the suppling gait. I tell him that my understanding is that the canter loosens the back and the trot is always better after a canter. Of course, he doesn't want to believe that, so conversation ...

Most of the time if I had a horse who would go behind the leg and get stuck it was because they were crooked in their body and that caused a block somewhere along the line. The crookedness could be due to rider error,(too much flexion and throwing away the outside rein) unequal body strength due to...
