I feel sure it was when I read the translated version of de la Giuriniere's book. H discussed the arguments against the exercise he introduced. Shoulder in. The argument was that you did not need the shoulder in to develop a horse, you could do all the same benefits from riding a circle. He agreed, ...

It's funny that everyone is posting their half pass, it's what I have been using to lay the foundation for more advanced work! Regarding the video Flight posted. Doesnt the loss of rhythm worry anyone else? I would be very concerned about that exercise with Kimba starting life as a pacer. Rye, I ver...

Khall. What does she mean by paddle?

Are you looking only at warmbloods?

Yes for sure do PSSM testing

I agree is misery creating weather. I would like some sun. I am going to look for all the positive thought I can muster.

Chisamba

If we trust our physiotherapist , or physical trainer at the gym, we push through and get results and feel great, I went to a different form of exercise one, the trainer did not correct positional errors i made and i really hurt my back, so two things. 1) it really works better if the horse trusts u...

How did the parents OR the girls know they would be scared without trying. It helps to have one confident excited kid to emulate. Obviously the crying kid was the emotional leader. My son fell off once. He howled and howled, I checked him out and nothing seemed injured. He is on the ASD, sometimes i...

Chisamba, I know. It's got to be the level that you're comfortable with and finding a training method that feels as comfortable morally as I can. I had to rush to work. So I stopped mid thought. I think we all agree that it's the level of training we feel comfortable with...and I guess we all have ...

Flight, putting a halter on a horse is dominance, putting a saddle on a horse is dominance, in fact putting a horse in a pasture , or a stable is dominance, I guess what you have a problem with is levels of dominance. So you or I , or anyone choose what the difference is between acceptable training ...

I have discovered that doing the same exercise often enough the create anticipation can be a key to revealing what needs to be "fixed" in training my horse.

One of the photos I managed to resize. Yes I took my helmet off for the photo

I love reading the updates. My son took a bunch of pictures before the rain demolished the spring blossoms but they were not training related, more spring inspired. I am a fairly simple goal setter. I find the whole SMART goal system ...maybe intimidating, but definitely off putting so I will chime...

I am curious, how do you set measurable training goals in dressage?

Chisamba

The awkwardness perhaps? Hope you heal well

I kind of like that human one!

Captain obvious.

I thought they were funny with the exception of number one. Very few kids just get dressage, it's a sport I think we mature into appreciating, and there is no specific body type for dressage. My longer legged riders actually have more difficulty with leg aids. So they are all funny except the first ...

I have 2 kinds. Splint boots that have pockets to hold moldable ice gel that you put in the freezer, and gel like wraps that you freeze and put on like polos. I would have to Google to find them Just curious which of the two kinds you prefer... I prefer the splint boots with the sleeves for the gel...

I have found flax really helps skin issues if you think its skin related

Chisamba

I have not done cold lazer for splints, but have used cold therapy support wraps and limited turn out for 2 weeks until it sets. If it's far from tendons once set it should be ok.

I don't even know how to respond to that horrible incompetence of a medical person. The words I would like to express would be graphic. Like you I'm in NJ and have the certificates for our dogs but I did not think to have for horses - although I do not give the vaccines. I'm having this discussion ...

Chisamba

Well, it's a legal requirement in some states for annual vaccination. You need to have the vet inoculate and you need to have a certificate. Things can be pretty awful if you dont. My sheep guard donkey, who I inoculated myself, fell I'll. The vet, who will never touch another if my horses, was on c...

Did we talk about miscues here? how if you do something often enough unintentionally it can become a cue or aid? Kimba was done with her ride, standing on a lose rein, and i ran the reins through my gloved hands, it made the slightest shwoosh noise and she trotted off! so i started to experiment wit...

Chisamba

wrt the horse wanting to go , having the desire to do medium, i find if you make the collection difficult enough then the medium is a reward, and the horse is more enthusiastic about it. just a suggestion

Chisamba

I wrote a response, deleted it, but I am going to try for a calmer response. I stopped riding Deneb. I had worked with her for 4 years before I gave up. I think believing that no matter how much I taught her, there was always going to be a high likelyhood that she could be dangerous was the deciding...

Chisamba

From my experience with Kea and Deneb, a very forward galloping horse cannot buck as hard and it's easier to sit. Have any of you see the video of Gert, a Dutch colt breaker? He always had someone in the ring with him with a longe whip. When the horse starts bucking they send it forward at a canter....

I assumed you quoted me to try and force to to read your comment since you know i have you blocked. so because the quote was obviously to insinuate that i have a mental defect and enjoy macabre humor, rather than to find out the truth, i shall quote the piece that i easily found on google, which sin...

Chisamba

I think every breed with every type of gait can, with soundness and willingness , do medium and extended gaits. They may not please your eye, but they can perform their version. As to whether that friesian is doing an extension, that could be argued.

Chisamba

Well there is lowering the hindquarters and stepping toward the nose, and there is sit. two different things, imho. a horse with a straighter shoulder usually gives a higher knee with a folded cannon bone in the medium, and a horse with a sloped free shoulder gives a rounder knee, but both can be ta...

Chisamba

It is probably not even worth trying to help here but I will throw a few thoughts out anyway. Medium gaits come from collection because collection develops the circle of aids. Only if the horse has accepted the change of balance and through connection, can its gait be improved . You do not want to l...

Drowning is not considered an acceptable method of euthanasia by the AVMA, cerebral trauma is (dead bolt/gunshot). Dropping an animal in a bucket is easier for you. Of course, poisoning isn't acceptable either, but that is not the point. My snake swallows them alive , you should report him to the A...

Don't drown the mouse. What's quick about that? Drop it on the concrete, take a shovel and smash it broadside. Just do it. Don't let it suffer. I don't agree with you on that, but I choose not to argue about it. Drowning is not considered an acceptable method of euthanasia by the AVMA, cerebral tra...

Do you dislike snakes? A nice rodent eating black snake in the basement will take care of the source.

I have ridden for her several times, at shows and at a fix a test. I was not helped by her advice. I did see her ride and realized why her suggestions did not improve my particular set of skills.

Try and teach him that the sensitivity is released more easily when yielding than it is when tossing his head. Do it standing or at the walk first. Just a suggestion

Chisamba

Blob, it is my opinion that most of the time when a horse shuts off when leg is added, that the door that is closed, metaphorically, is the jaw. Getting the mouth and jaw relaxed opens the door for the hind leg to step through. I didn't invent that description, I just dont know who to attribute it ...
