thanks :3

What can you do? Canter? Jump? etc...

[ryukrem]

how long have you ridden all together?

[Rated R]

the thoroughbred i've been jumping with recently is 17.3 hh.
i'm around 5'6" and together we are a very tall [and apparently intimidating team]
he's very strong and high strung, but i'm surprised at how well we communicate with each other.
it amazes me every time we jump how smooth is it and how respectful we are of each other.
riding is pretty much my lifesaver- it makes me forget about everything else.
and i like forgetting about everything else.

I ride ponies hehe c:
but right now my confidence still isn't very high
I ride this pony named blake and he is very young, 4 years old, and green.
its tough because trying to hold contact with him is difficult
and getting him to canter is harder than it should be
a lot of people ride him much better than me in my lesson and I don't know why I get put on him all the time.
my instructor knows im afraid of him, but im starting to get a liking to him now, but not quite yet.

that reminds me of a pony i used to ride.
it was hard to get him to trot [ and canter ]
when you got him to trot his trot was suppperrr bouncy and fast. which sucked D:
and it was super hard to get him to canter, he would basically just trot faster
than he was already.

You should add vaulting and driving to the first page c:

I'm Cami, and I do eventing and vaulting, while also learning combined driving. I work with rescues, and all have been dream horses to me (well there is naughty-boy Cherokee but...) and its rewarding to see them fit as a fiddle <3

If you have any questions for me, just ask. This is my first post on this thread ^^'

hiya, :3 think you should add stunt riding to the front age too, I LOOVVVEE stunt riding! BTW I think that barrel racing would be a good one too :3

I love equestrian. I can ride english but I mostly do western. I do reining and also like teach my very own horse tricks like bow and down.
It is awesome that you made this club.

[Lucid Dreamer]

I taught Templado to bow like a camel, working on teaching him to hold things now, it comes in handy, having a trick horse since I'm a stunt rider :3

Hello! I've posted around here a few times. It's been quite awhile, but, I ride English and western, I'm working on getting my three year old paint to rein, and I take Hunter/Jumper lessons, jumping around 3'3".

I do have a few quick questions for anyone who wants to help me by answering me c:
1.) For Reining, what are some excersises for conditioning a horse's legs to do the spins and slides? My paint has pretty thin legs, so I want to make sure she won't injure her legs.

2.) I have a hunter jumper show on August 4th. Are there any ways you guys know of that can get a green horse straight to the jumps without tearing on his face? I'm competing in equitation, and my friends 15hh welsh doesn't really like to go straight. And in equitation, I'd rather not smack my leg on the side of the standards xD. I know the basic, "set up bumper rails" but, does anyone have any other tips?
