For the past year and a half my focus has been on getting my young
horse rideable. Now that we're going along so good riding has become so
easy (I better knock on wood here!) and we really don't have anything
to work on anymore other than just more trail experience. I finally got
where I
Well, I had a lesson with Rebel a week ago that helped us tremendously!
Of course the problem was all mine! I was stopping the forward cue
after he picked up a faster walk. I didn't even BELIEVE he would make
it to a trot! Now, literally overnight, all I have to do is raise my
energy and
How long are you riding him everyday? Are we talking half hour
sessions or
an hour or two at a time? I'm wondering if he could be tired?
I only ride him for 5-20 minutes each time. He's still pretty small,
lean looking, very small looking from the front or back, I'm not sure
about
Hello, I've got a young TWH/KMSH cross Rebel. He's an amazing horse,
so well mannered and gentle, I have so much fun with him, but I need a
bit of advice. :)
He's resistent to leg. I don't have too much trouble getting him from a
stop to a walk it's the walk-trot or gait transitions that I
He had 60 days as a 2 yr old (previous owner) and has had over a year
off. I've been riding him almost everyday for a month or so now
(He'll be 4 next month) . I just started asking for just a bit of
trot a week ago. I did lots of stuff on the ground with him during
his time off.
I have
Who (in their right mind) would look at that photo and see noble.
Maybe noble for not throwing that crazy person!
The ametuer Final Goodbyes photo had me in tears but got my vote.
Vanetta's Boy on the professionals was my other pick.
Hi! Would that be an 18.5 English measure? Could the stirrups be
adjusted to accommodate a 5'6 person? Could you send me a picture? I
am interested! Thanks!
Not yet, i'll take some and post them!
I was following everything he was doing until he started acting rude
slapping the horse all over it's body while saying he had to be rude
because
the colt was introverted.
Was he slapping hard?
Alright everyone! For a traditional treed english trail saddle which
pad would you use- Skito (I have heard some bad things about this pad
but like it) or the Saddleright pad (heard nothing bad about it, but I
am still not sure.) Has anyone had trouble with the heat and the
Skito? Do you use a
Has anyone here mastered riding bridleless and bareback at all gaits
with their icelandic? Inside and outside of the arena? Just wondering! :)

What kind of western saddle do you have that fits your icelandics?
I am gonna be looking at all the tack swaps for some type of western

Why does it seem more icelandic friendly?

I thought since you could choose from 3 pommel sizes it may fit
better. I think I am going to try a BMSS Trail instead. Does anyone
use the trail/barrel version on their icy? I
Well said messages from Gail, makes sense to me that it would come
from a

approach to horses (actually animals in general) - compassion,
cooperation
empathy.
Doesn't TTeam use a harsh roller bit w/ 7 in shanks and a

Enjoy!
We're almost a tree-free zone here. I'm sure everyone has heard me rave
about my favorites, the Sensations. My backup saddles are a Bob

The games in PNH, with phases, etc., they seem to be just as much

I would like a new poll for type of saddles we use. I ride in a
