I recently found these nice short videos from Anna Ross Davies.

I like the KL Select Dressage reins with leather stoppers and 3/4" width.

Josette

Dresseur - thanks very much for your clarification of how you use the seat. I understand what you mean about riding every stride. This discussion is very helpful and the feedback for what you see in a video. thank you!

Josette

No - I've only seen these videos. I try to search for riders closer to my body type (meaning no 36" inseam LOL!). Debbie McDonald is my height/build so I will look her up - plus Jane Savoie too. Years ago, I did audit an MW clinic but did get lost with some of her terminology. In a previous pos...

Josette

I've found these videos by Catherine Haddad very helpful for this topic. IMO this relaxed riding shows excellent harmony with a big moving horse. Following her tips made a huge difference for me.

Very Sad news - Kathy is leaving the Medicine Horse Program. Maybe she will post an update here.....

This is the EBAY seller who I purchased my Pikeur breeches. You can contact her for more sizes, styles. High shipping cost but some good price breaks.

Josette

The price is converted to US dollars and shipping is costly (no other fees applied). I've purchased Pikeur breeches at great prices even with shipping from European sellers. However, high shipping cost would prevent me from returning if they do not fit. It sounds like I better stick to the model I k...

Josette

I came across this German brand of breeches and wondered how they might fit? What is their quality like? In the past, I've only worn Pikeur Laguana style as I am narrow hips - no curves. Euroseat breeches to much hip for me. Anyone try this brand and do you like it? I like their bright colors. ;) ht...

Josette

demi - thank you for your explanation for how you use still seat. It is Very helpful. I really like what you wrote about Kalman. Consistent harmony is the GOAL for all rides. Definitely a mantra to repeat each time I mount up and we start our ride. The next several days will be miserable heat. I am ...

Josette

Thinking about this earlier ride when I had some difficult canter departs - I resorted to that swooping seat you described. I tipped forward so big mistake for my position. Frustrating as I want to try these posture adjustments but the heat wave is so bad now. I admit I'm upset about my transitions ...

Josette

Yes - I just came in from an early ride (extreme heat here) and tried some canter. The knees down is easy for me to maintain with sitting trot but not the case with the canter. Granted we are working on our transitions as some days there are good ones and today - well not so good. So if I slip back ...

Josette

Yes - not appropriate IMO. If repeated, I would politely ask him not to use it.

Josette

For what it's worth - I think it's critical that riders learn not to ride with "piano hands" like a water skier. The wrists must be turned so the hands have the thumb on top like Sally Swift describes in her Centered Riding book - "like holding a baby bird". Likewise, the pinkie ...

Josette

I remember this topic was discussed on the UDBB with mixed responses. Some riders/trainers were very opposed as they felt it did not help rider/horse learn contact. Others found they liked it as a learning tool for new riders not to balance/hang on a horse. I did use these reins on a former western ...

Josette

I'm so sorry you are going through this reaction. Maybe the ladies at breastcancer.org can give you feedback. Best wishes!

Josette

Can you report to the police?

Josette

I just stumbled across this website and it looked interesting for hoof problems. Anyone familiar with their products?

Kelo - your guy gets my vote for the coolest most versatile horse! What a great athlete and mind! Regrettably my PT/QH developed navicular some years ago. He is super smart and loved his riding work and trail rides. Hook up the trailer and he would self load. Now a pasture pet.

Josette

I agree these are very hard questions. Favorite town(s) - We loved our visit to Vancouver BC as walkable and beautiful. Our trip was too short and we hope to return as so much more to see. Portland ME is a favorite for quick visits and to get our seafood fix. Several towns again were in Maine: Booth...

I thought someone might like to check out this horse ring I came across on EBAY. It looks lovely for a mare owner or any horse person. The style could be re-sized too.

Josette

Ditto what piedmontfields stated. I've spent quite a bit flying for a potential purchase. I usually knew either immediately or by 2nd ride. The vet exam was final call for me.

Josette

She just listed that one I think today. I love it!!! Enjoy!!

I have 2 paintings of a girl, horse, and cat theme. For me, they represent my soul horse and soul cat whom I lost in 2013.

Josette

She has been posting for several years on EBAY. She almost always has something listed if you care to wait and see. Definite primitive minimalist but I love her horse series.

Josette

I have some paintings from this folk artist. If you enjoy this style she has some bargains posted.

Josette

Sounds like you had a great adventure and enjoyed your catch too! Glad to hear you took the Dramamine - I learned that lesson the hard way.

Josette

Thanks MC too! I don't understand the sling shot image either. What you wrote in blue is very helpful! Now that description and detail I can understand.

Josette

I use this product as I have minimal pasture and rely on hay. https://kppusa.com/all-products/micro-phase/

It was recommended to me by my vet.

Josette

If X said or did something which I found offensive - no I would not attend. Why give this person income or recognition if they cannot behave as a professional?

Josette

Anyone visit the northern coast of CA and visit the National Redwood Forest? This trip is on my bucket list and I'm trying to figure out where to stay and driving distances/time. Flying in from NJ so flights are VERY expensive and it appears I may fly into Medford OR and drive down from there. I'm t...

Josette

I knew someone who used this treatment method on an injury to her horse with excellent results. However, she said the cost felt like she was hemorrhaging money. Most of us have been in these situations - we hand over the credit card and hope for the best. Wishing your guy a speedy recovery and to st...

what a cutie!! love ponies!!!

Ditto - totally agree with exactly Zevida said. Good Luck!

I am so sorry for the loss of your dear friend and trainer. My deepest condolences to his family.

DH saw this on the news and says we should move there!

I just bought these grooming gloves on EBAY and my guy LOVES them! Thanks for posting as I would never have seen/heard of them except here! :) http://www.ebay.com/itm/162036792633?_trksid=p2057872.m2749.l2649&var=461031136571&ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT On sale now on this EBAY site - free...

Josette

I remember your sweet little piggy rescue and was glad to make a donation. You are right - we shouldn't hold our breaths waiting for the legal system to make any positive changes. I just keep signing petitions whenever I hope I can make a difference......

Josette

Hoping you are comfortable and get released soon.

Josette

I sent a donation when you initially posted. The laws are minimal in most states to protect animals. Unless the laws and significant fines/jail time are imposed for extreme abuse cases - these situations will continue..... There was a horrible hoarder in the NJ news the other day of over 270 dogs in...

Josette

I appreciate the feedback. This positive reinforcement technique is certainly more my approach. It should totally be applied to ALL FORMS of training IMO. My DH would do the submit posture - but I didn't care for it. Maybe he picked it up from TV..... Kelo really nailed this dog's personality and ps...

Josette

YES!!! Kelo - you are RIGHT ON in your psychological analysis of describing this dog's temperament!! I always felt he reacted in certain situations from fear and that it was not real aggression. You are correct when he felt threatened by me being forceful in my discipline - he acted aggressive by gr...

So we have a 4yr old chihuahua/terrier/? mix - small about 17 pounds. He likes some small dogs but not big dogs and is guarded with meeting people. Just to provide you with some clue to his temperament. He is super smart but when triggered doesn't respond well to being put down. "No" has t...

I would write it off as a bad day for whatever the reason. It appears the owner and other servers noticed you were not taken care of - so I would not make a big deal of it. You are a regular customer and hopefully it will not happen again. If it repeats - then I would approach the owner. As previous...
