We are up to 45 mins walk/trot and getting back into it. Shoulder looks good, no regressing with added time. Started to add some lateral work and lenghenings. I'm in an emotional funk since my dog died so on one hand i think riding is great but I feel sad. I do feel better the more I ride, and I hav...

Ryeissa

SUPER NEWS! Congrats.

Ryeissa

yay! sending happy thoughts your way

Ryeissa

OMG_ we have the same pony in different colors

so lovely
I love the turnout and browband.

Ryeissa

I'm hosting another show, so that will be fun!

Ryeissa

Exciting and stressful! keep us posted. Good luck

Ryeissa

I saw a lesson with Patrick Kittle and where Patrick rode his young stallion. I just can’t get past though that Patrick is of the blue tongue infamy Personally I’m extremely picky and selective about who I give my money to for learning. I just bought Mark’s in hand flexion video streaming. Even tho...

Ryeissa

Yeah I'm sorry I'm not subscribed and I doubt I would. But I will be interested in seeing what others that are subscribed and what your thoughts are as well! I ditched it after a month, to be honest. I was not thrilled with the training of low/deep/round in 2 of the trainers. Patrik Kittel was the ...

Ryeissa

To be fair I haven't watched a lot of his videos. And I do think his stallion looks like he is a tricky type to ride. I just don't like the video style I think it's more entertainment than any educational stuff. right, I am asking if people have subscribed and what they think of the theory in the s...

Ryeissa

Although Matt is featured he is more often the rider or host/ask questions. Not the teacher

Ryeissa

He isn't the teacher- he has others like Patrik Kittel do clinics.....

Ryeissa

I have been a subscriber to this new site. I was curious what others think. I will share my initial thoughts and impressions later! thanks!

ETA- matt isn't the clinician, he has people giving clinics like Patrik Kittel.... its not the same as the youtube channel

Ryeissa

I rode!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! the horse was SUPER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! a normal walk trot ride has never felt so good.

Ryeissa

Hes got a nice little canter there! I would totally like to ride him.
what color is he? he could be gold or bay....

Ryeissa

yeah! I like him! you ride him well.

Ryeissa

yeah, I do remember that- so hard. I'm sorry.
I'm getting a lot of things thrown at me lately- ultimately good and truthful, just change is hard. Jingle for me please

Very anxious/edgy.

Ryeissa

thanks guys. I don't think people get how big of a loss this was/is

Ryeissa

awesome job!

Ryeissa

yeah, I think this speaks to opening the hip flexors and joints vs muscles.

You have to open the hip flexors. The lumbar needs to stay in neutral spine.

Ryeissa

oh! what an ordeal! I'm so sorry but it sounds like you had a good community of friends helping

Ryeissa

I don't think this is an either relaxed or tone situation. What do you mean by relaxed? I like to think of it as the right joints opening the right amt The muscles have the right amt of give and tone For me I have to have more tone to sit properly and support myself. Tanga- I have a long torso and h...

Ryeissa

well. I am picking this back up after a very very difficult Feb in which my horse got hurt/recovered, my beloved baby girl (dog) passed away and my work situation is not going well. We shall carry on. My horse is sound HORRAY and after getting things back in action march might be where we can resume...

Ryeissa

I don't know....neither of my arabs are/were spooky and if the horse is that challenging something seems off I say it's like a date/marriage- if you don't like the horse on the test ride then it's hard because there is no guarantee on any improvemnets. My horse is better the more he works, if they g...

Ryeissa

good luck blob!

Ryeissa

ohhh! my fav cross. Good luck

Ryeissa

sorry for your loss too. Its so sad.

Ryeissa

oh no. sorry. Its very sad.

Ryeissa

I rode! Yes! I rode! Horray. I am still mopey about my dog dying two days ago, but I was able to ride my pony for the first time since he hurt his shoulder crashing on the ice. He did GREAT, no issues

Ryeissa

yeah, it sucks. I don't have kids and this was like my little baby girl. She was a trooper through her diabetes starting at age 3. I am experiencing a lot of anxiety now at her loss. it's a total change in identity and role. I had to do so much for her all these years. I am glad I could work remotel...

Ryeissa

happier times

Ryeissa

Shit. my best girl just passed away. I am so sad. (My dog)
I will try to get back to riding. Riot has the green light to go back to work.

Ryeissa

it was cancer and more serious than we thought. Shit.

Ryeissa

She didn't make it. My heart is broken.

Ryeissa

this is a good webianr about the back and bending
https://www.horsesinsideout.com/events/ ... -higgins-1

Ryeissa

oh dear! That is really dishonest. I wouldn't use them for anymore

Ryeissa

keep jingling- she is having a tough time tolerating antibiotics of any sort.

Ryeissa

I stand by the horse and hold the reins from the ground as if I was riding. I can feel the outside shoulder pop out and use the outside rein to control it. It's a fun way to see the horse from a new angle. It simplifies the aids and takes the rider out of the equation as far as being on the back and...

Ryeissa

she's home and feeling great! As long as she eats her meds and food she should continue to recover.

Ryeissa

she likes to bring her stuff

Ryeissa

She's really doing better on a new antibiotic. Comes home today~ whooooo

Ryeissa

yeah, It amazes me that a lot of horses that I wouldn't "consider" needing wide trees usually end up in them over time with dressage. I played the saddle dance a few years ago and yes had to get a new $$ saddle but it solved my problem and has been good ever since. Even with my good saddle...

Ryeissa

Still in the hospital- cancer and infection not playing nice with her diabetes. Thought she may not make it Friday but she pulled through.

Ryeissa

Please send jingles to my best girl who has been really sick.

Thanks!

update- see below

Ryeissa

well....is lifting the hands really a trick? I have seem in my own riding hands too low in relationship to the bit elbow line is far worse as far as negative consequences in the horse. Lifting the bit with a slight up motion does place the bit higher in the corners of the mouth which is the place th...

Ryeissa

sorry, that is really too bad

That warrants a celebration of sorts.....yay!

YEAH! I was thrilled. It started really bad so I had no idea what to think, Miracle boy

Ryeissa

Not serious WHEW....! So happy

Ryeissa

Total credit to anyone getting out there and doing I1, It was a very nice test!

Ryeissa

I think we will be sitting out for awhile so catch up with you guys in March

Ryeissa

Demi, I guess they can do whatever they like. Bad move embarrassing our mutual trainer and wasting our mutual vet's time, but there you go. As my trainer said, they'll wait a while to get that price with his maintenance issues, during which time they are paying her board and training fees, so it's ...
