whew! that sounds like a good outcome Mari- fingers crossed for Spotted Boy from another Spot.

Super Pony is going great, he is really improving his half pass and extensions lately. It's not polished but spending less time on the Struggle Bus.

I noticed today that MM is too, which not ideal since we have a heat index in triple digits at all hours of the day.

yeah, same. I might clip him.....

my horse is growing his winter coat. does that make you guys feel better?

Ryeissa

yeah, its been a weird mix of glad to be home and struggling. We are home for the rest of the year and hopefully spring. LOVE that.

Ryeissa

Hey! good point....Hope everyone is doing well

Ryeissa

beautiful! Congrats!

My horse fell (weridly- not like a trip or stumble) due to neuro problems. It was very strange but at the time I had no idea that was the cause. Knowing what I know now I would advise to not ride Mark to stay safe esp with his history of being so hot/sensitive. Best of luck getting to the bottom of...

Ryeissa

I get you, Ryeissa. I TRY to ignore stuff for awhile to give myself a rest. But, we're heading into a time where the corruption is getting worse and worse ad a frantic pace, and fighting it can't just be on some people's shoulders. I do what I can. And that goes with Covid. I can easily hide away u...

Ryeissa

awwww that is a nice name!

Ryeissa

I don't read any news these days, except for guideline. I've had it with people, politics, and drama. Both R and D's are getting carried away and stopped listening a long time ago. I do my own work outside the political system to improve things. Plus, there is so many times I can hear about COVID. Y...

Ryeissa

Now that I was essentially forced to do shoes or else my horse was in trouble- I have also noticed more canter expression. It wasn't magical or anything, but noticable. It won't make a good canter where there wasn't one, but I liked how it felt with shoes. I would say a 5-10% bonus.

Ryeissa

Now through the first re-set with no issues with the "new shoes". The back feet are holding steady being barefoot. I use Farrier Fix 3x a week for maintenance.

Ryeissa

Jagged edges. My horse was loosing stability since the structure was being compromised. Also having a rough edge makes the horse more prone to injuring other legs since they are sharp. It's great you have been able to make it work! I was able to for about 9 months then things got to the point the f...

Ryeissa

Ryeissa--Mine are out in "pasture" and walk on asphalt, rocks, uneven rock hard ground all of the time. It's hard and dry in the summer and can be wet to nonstop muddy all winter. I don't know what you mean by chipping. The edges of their feet chip a little, yes. That's not an issue. If h...

Ryeissa

Of course, if a horse has bad feet and shoes are needed to help that, they need them. But I have never seen a horse that needs them. And I see more and more people around here competing barefoot. And I do their feet. In the spring and the summer their feet grow much faster, and if shoes are helping...

Ryeissa

thanks for sharing the videos everyone! Congrats Tanga, Dresseur on great shows. I like to see the tests and feedback- helps me learn! I've been hosting my own barn shows since most of the shows are cancelled in my area, so it's a fun way to build community and also get some tests ridden. (We are ab...

Ryeissa

yes, just had this experience. My horse has been barefoot from 4 to 16. He moved barns and due to the soil was getting chipped feet. I added front shoes and it has been positive for him in his dressage work. He has more expression in the canter and feels more confident. I had no lameness, sole, or o...

Ryeissa

Congratulations! Dresseur and Miro. How exciting! I won’t bug you for pics or videos because you’re so busy right now. But someday would love to see vid of the freestyles. I hope you can get some sleep before Saturday. Rye, sorry about calling Riot a half arab! Actually, I know he’s 7/8s but when I...

Ryeissa

he is 7/8 arab. He is doing excellent, just turned 16 and never been better! As some of you know, I have been studying biomechanics as my main focus since 2014 and I credit that with the most influential change(s). I have been riding even more during COVID, the barn is in an area that reamained open...

Ryeissa

Spotted super pony is doing awesome! Here we are doing some half pass.

Ryeissa

Looking great blob! Stupid question- what color is RP exactly? I probably asked you before....nice job! I actually don't think you have! He's a strawberry roan with a flaxen mane and tail. From a distance, though, he almost looks pink. heh, that wasn't my guess. I was thinking perlino. beautiful~ T...

Ryeissa

Looking great blob! Stupid question- what color is RP exactly? I probably asked you before....nice job! Congrats on the new horses! PICTURES! I scored high 60s at 1:3 and it was fairly easy so I can indeed jump into second. I have been holding back to make sure it's quality vs just doing the movemen...

Ryeissa

its not working, is there any way to watch this?

Ryeissa

Wow! Super sad!

Ryeissa

great job Demi! I'd love to see the video too. It's great to have success after "putting yourself out there" I sent you the link. Thanks for the encouraging words, Rye. But I not really “putting myself out there” since I’m too chicken to post it on a public forum :lol: I don't post anymor...

Absolutely. I hang off one side of my horse partly because it's my crookedness but my horse DEFINITELY pushes me there. That is why I have to work on both of us equally.

Ryeissa

yes, absolutely. I have better luck in Equus Eventa thick rubber reins. The contact is much better on my horse who likes to be too light. I have experimented with a variety of types and this gives me the best connection. I am surprised that rein type isn't a bigger conversation in dressage since I h...

great job Rosie! He's getting really dark, isn't he? very handsome as always!

This is a great book The Riding Doctor Beth Glosten, MD After leaving horses behind for many years to pursue her medical career, Dr. Beth Glosten decided it was time to ride again only to discover that, as a middle-aged woman, she struggled with tension, awkwardness, and an aching back. Dr. Glosten’...

Ryeissa

yeah, it was a bit of a slog for me off and on, but SO GLAD I did it! I got the one in a million billion perfect husband. Not sure how that happened....but I wanted a relationship, so it sounds like it's just not what you want.

Ryeissa

Congrats Kelo! that is quite an accomplishment!

Ryeissa

SUPER! that is awesome. I have done online shows as well but I didn't know of this one- will check it out! That is a super score from a tough judge!

Ryeissa

Super news!

Ryeissa

Athlete A was a great show, I suggest everyone watch it in Netflix. It's really alarming how out of hand it got. I don't really follow gynmnastics /news so I didn't realize a lot of what went on.

Sue B wrote:lest you forget, however, women are often just as guilty of predatory behavior...straight, bi and hetero.

yes, totally agree. I think that is the next wave of MeToo that needs to hit. Men or women victims from women predators.

Ryeissa

yeah, I saw that! Sending her best wishes

KathyK wrote: Fortunately, SS can look at the evidence and make a decision without compelling the victims to out themselves.

yeah, that is my point. Dover can't possibly believe it, he doesn't see any evidence.

Ryeissa

SS has a lot of rules that could potentially end up in a gray area: texting a minor outside of a group chat, traveling alone with a minor, etc. However, these aren't the violations that get you banned. All of the violations that have result in someone being banned have involved sexual relations wit...

Ryeissa

The one concern I have with SS is there is no open trial, so we have no idea about the victims, evidence, etc. Not saying that we must, but it is hard to trust what we can't see. That is where it leaves the door open for these kinds of statements. Well, there is no "open trial" because th...

Ryeissa

If the past 4 years have taught us nothing else, it's pretty clear people don't "believe it when [they] see it." But my point is they don't believe because they do NOT see it . safe sport is quite secretive. I am not for or against it but there is a huge problem when they are not naming n...

Ryeissa

I see no reason for the victims to out themselves, or to be outted. They've suffered enough. Let me clarify, I didn't say they MUST out themselves. However, the fact there are not "faces to the crimes" does impact the general trust factor in SS. I was just pondering why there is push back...

Ryeissa

I have found for me, it helps to have friends help/show up, etc as then I don't get "in my own head" as much and go down that road. I also regularly have my trainer ride my horse through tests a level above what I want to show to get pointers. It helps me to see my horse do the test with a...

Ryeissa

Predators like this know how to cover their tracks. That's why they're able to have multi-decade sexual abuse careers. So on the one hand, it's not surprising that their friends/family don't see the signs-- they're purposefully hidden! But we do a disservice to the survivors by asserting that becau...
