Chisamba, I need to go and find what you wrote - sometimes when I don't log on for a while I miss things in the thread! But yes, yes to what you said! Although... what Miro was doing was bringing the shoulder to the inside and dropping the outside rein connection slightly- not blowing through the o...

Chisamba

when exvet was talking about shoulders I shared my mantra expecting hallelujahs. lmao. the horse should come to the outside rein, not through the outside rein, every stride of every move. it was so profound to me and completely inconsequential to everyone else. but both Dresseur and Tanga just descr...

Chisamba

Straightforward, i think Annabelle started off quick but not off the leg and thus did not do well in the canter transition, i think that once she slowed down and was more relaxed off the leg, she picked up the canter better. Have you ever tried a full turn on the forehand off the outside leg into th...

Chisamba

in real news, none of my horses missed a beat for having the week off. well that might not be true Saiph was a bit stuck and not off the leg.

naturally forward horses seem easier

Chisamba

at times I wish I had the ability when I was younger, and the wisdom and experience I have now. As I gain skill and patience I have lost , well , hutzpah. oh well. Life is good

Chisamba

jingles for Gracie and for you

Chisamba

I wish the duck I could stay upright in my pirouette. aaaaaaargj

Chisamba

for the first time in a long long time I never ride any of my horses this week. a cumulative of broken fence to repair, vet visit, and really being committed to riding the paying horses first. kimba seemed mightily offended but S and C were fine so long as I have attention. I am curious to see if th...

Chisamba

I am so sorry

Chisamba

it is a bit peculiar, people come to the barn and are upset when I say mask up, so I say if you can't wear a mask, I cannot board your horse. on of my clients was at work with someone who tested positive and was at the barn before she knew. there were two other at the barn when she was here and I gr...

Chisamba

I find my lipzzaners x very sensitive forward and sensible so maybe include them too. trotting standies can be nice but you have to develop the canter. I did train an Andalusian stallion, he was totally a push ride

Chisamba

I wish you were not so far away, but of course you may not share my taste anyway, but there are a few stunning DHH in PA, and i love my DHH

Chisamba

over your budget? too young? https://www.dreamhorse.com/show_horse.p ... id=2175200

oops never mind

Chisamba

Well the only thing pentosan is labelled for in the usa is interstitial cystitis and its an oral, the joint support and soft tissue support we use it for is extra label. anyway, it is used in Australia for arthritis just like you can actually give injectable banamine orally, so too pentosan. it can ...

Chisamba

I use pentosan as needed. I don't believe in feed through because I suffer from pretty nasty arthritis myself and not one of those expensive supplements helped even a bit.

pentosan can be given orally

Chisamba

I use exercises pole work and all to supple strengthen and assist feelings etc, I love shoulder in counter shoulder in and many exercises but I differ from some, and I don't want to try and convert anyone or expect anyone to change their method or process, I just differ in some things. I think you i...

Chisamba

I think preventing shoulder bulging is about teaching the horse to come to the outside rein, not through the outside rein. but it is also about not allowing the inside rein to be too light on the hollow side. in other words it's not about exercises but consistent attending to equal contactnin both r...

Chisamba

I have ridden so many mares but maybe I should begin with Monthor. 20201115_181728.jpg she was an off the track thoroughbred but the ultimate kick ride babysitter. I was quite young so I would have to put my saddle on a barrel, stand her alongside said barrel, climb on the barrel and slide the saddl...

Chisamba

you would love Kimba, she is eagerly forward

Chisamba

ExVet, Brandon is adorable, and it looks like he's trying hard to figure it out! Aleuronx, glad to hear Kora is coming through her awkward phase. Best of luck finding the right fit for a new position! Demi - here is our right lead work from the clinic, if you're interested. This was A's first cante...

Chisamba

One weird pattern in my horse life is that I have gotten along with every bay mare i've ever ridden/worked with. I've had a LOT of horses come in and out of my life but there is no other classification like that I can make, with any other color, gender, breed there have been some I've liked and som...

Chisamba

I have had both. Good mares and bad mares. I suggest you simply do not let gender be a deciding factor. if they are sound healthy rideable and trainable, that's primo.

Chisamba

I am purposefully not watching. I will know once the counts are in.

Chisamba

try go no carpet in the one room until the habit is broken?

Chisamba

I agreevwith flight, when left vertical the port should not engage the palate

Chisamba

It would be rather pleasant if people stopped name calling and labeling for long enough to work together. it starts with us. I think. can we chat on a forum where we already have common interests without rudeness disrespect and name calling? the article I read ..... THE NEW YORK TIMES SEP 26, 2020 A...

Chisamba

So, I have loved 2020. yes I know we a pandemic etc, but I think it encouraged us to do few things we were not very good at. spend more time as a family show business a lot can be done from home co operate internationally at least on a medical level. of course exercising feeding and cleaning stall s...

Chisamba

Alfie is lovely, you must be so happy he came back sound.

Chisamba

hello, I hope you enjoy being here. sounds like poor Khodi has been through a lot. so glad to hear that he recovered.

Chisamba

I think the sport of dressage has become a lot more about the fancy horse as time goes by. If your goal is to win at the FEI level, 30K is severely under budget. However in my experience, if you want to get your bronze and work toward your silver, it can be done on a budget. My first FEI horses was ...

Chisamba

horses out. rain shine snow or wind. I prefer to put in rain sheets if owners provide. if anyone complains I refer them to my vet.

Chisamba

I agree, bacon and eggs is very clever.

I went to a Halloween hunter pace, I did the skeleton rider on a slightly skeleton horse.

in Zambia they never celebrated Halloween so I've come to it as an adult.

Chisamba

the peculiar thing is they seem to forget every single part of riding is controlled, what pants, what boots, what spurs, what coat, and yes, what head covering. I did have that moment of glee when i had to go out and buy my top hat, but it was because it stood for riding at that level, and had nothi...

Chisamba

I use the method described by Silk. i will teach the horse to step over a pole, a tarp, or a barrel, and stop, not leap on over or back off. I like to be able to whoa the horse half way in, and back it out, i may practice over a tarp first. I like to be able to whoa the horse half way out, and then ...

Chisamba

the great thing about green horses is that you really can bring them on as you prefer.

Chisamba

I swear! every time my phone upgraded autocorrect goes into overdrive. my apologies

Chisamba

we are lucky right now in our weather. clean air, fall temperatures, and pretty leaves. I am pretty much getting the barn ready for winter. I set up a new cavaletti grid each week and use it in my riding. this week was the old fashioned W. I am trying to ride a test in each horse each week. this is ...

Chisamba

I never answered your question. I used to look for the horse most likely to forward my ambition. lately I have looked for the horse that needed me. my the main squeezes were all in precarious situations that could well have ended in their deaths. I decided I would take them on, and either give them ...

Chisamba

when I was little I got on the horse because it was fun. It was joyous, adventuresome and amazing. then I learned to train, to improve , to set goals and forgot how to have fun. Now, I know, if I'm not having fun, it's highly unlikely my horse is enjoying it. my horses carry my weight, and the weigh...

Chisamba

hello, I am in, again. even though you all got my cards in January one year.

Chisamba

glad it went well.

Chisamba

I have waffled around doing only in front, or only hind and if the horse is wearing and tender, that makes sense, but if you are agreeing for performance, it doesn't make sense, imho, not to do all four. that said, here in the northeast, I wouldn't die till April because I don't like snow pads

Chisamba

I dislike myself when the solution to my problem is something I damned well know and somehow neglected. Horses can be humbling yes. I have finished show season, I am now planning the winter journey to next year's goals. I will have 3 show horses, along with my six client horses. I think I need to ma...

Chisamba

what an expression!

Chisamba

So after a lot of work on collection, strength and encouraging more lateral suppleness at the canter in our fire plug build of a welsh cob this past week, we took the last two days off to just trail ride. Junior was very happy to be out in the desert. The big news of the week is that I had another ...

Chisamba

Well Kimba and I headed to our second show at Square One. I did second level because I wasn't ready to show third with her changes still being unreliable. She did nicely with her counter canter but tends to hide a little in her left flexion. I am excited to announce she won the series championship w...

RBG passing away < 60d prior to the election is the most 2020 thing to happen so far this year. Thank you for fighting as long as you did, RBG. Here's hoping the Senate doesn't confirm the right-wing figurehead woman. Politico did a good article on this president's use of women. Strategic, but what...

I am wasting time at the airport looking at horses in Colorado for sale. are you near Fort Collins i saw y the mustangs ad i think

Chisamba

when I think of Good quarter horses, I admit I'm thinking of working ranch bed horses, not the halter types. the ddbb last who died dressage and Western on her quarter horses would be an excellent person to ask
