There are quite a few horses that can jump and i have seen then jump, the ones that i said have problems don't jump. I can balance at canter but when i had a advanced group lesson, Alice was being lazy so my instructor gave me a whip, from then until the end of the lesson she was flash and...
Also, when i first rode Alice i really had to kick her to move and she wouldn't turn or stop, and would drag me to the nearest haynet. Now she goes on command, we can weave through cones with ease and stops, she still drags me to a haynet though
As i said, i work there on Saturdays from the morning till the evening, i sometimes put up her net or put her rug on,i know she likes the massage brush so i use that on her. Also if her hay net is almost empty and she is trying to get some out, i just take the rest out and she eats it from my hand.
I do let her and the other horses sniff me, the horse next to her stable who is also one of my favourite will put her ears back when my friends try to touch her but will let me stroke her, she is also a riding school horse.
I ride a 14.3 hh mare called Alice, i really love her, she always listens to me and the people who work there always make me lead her in lessons or tack her up. I know basically everything about her besides her favourite stroking spot, i know she doesn't kick or bite, and she will only use the...
I am in London, its just i say the stuff in all the ways because i research on English and American sites. I sometimes say fields. I don't know why i call it a barn as its a outdoor yard. Posting trot, rising trot, its not really any different its just different ways of saying the same thing.
Don't know why its so cheap, its not central london which is about £90 for a lesson. The first riding school was £7 for half an hour, i do understand their reason as they are a charity.
Yh i hate the flooring too it always gets in my eyes, don't know if they are resurfacing or not. The little girl on the little piebald on the lead rein doesn't belong to the school, they are livery owners but some of the school horses are put on lead reins. The skewbald with the long mane...
Sorry if i'm sounding rude, its just that the pony that i use to ride there has a pelvis and back problem and is at Physio. Tivvy is good kind of, he won't kick you or bite etc. I f pebbles is in front of you you have to be quite far away or they will put her at the back of the ride. Also the...
Im not saying this in a rude way. Horses have a my of there own, just because they are trained doesn't mean they will be perfect. She will pick up her foot but barely, she i a cob and i think she finds it hard to balance when i pick up her back hoof(bare in mind her feet are giant). Like i...
They are making changes slowly, 3 livery horses left so they are getting new horses, They have a foal called Oliver and a 3 yearold stallion called Percy who i think hey are going to geld because he tries to mount every mare in site and only experienced workers are aloud near them. I think they...
Well actually the school is registered with BHS but they are now under a different name, the owner said 2 weeks ago that we are behind and everyone should be riding by them self. You can ride the horses by yourself but there are 3 new riders and they ride pebbles, tivvy and archie, archie is...
The school have a option for private lessons which are in the week then there are public lessons in the weekend which anyone can join. I do the weekend afternoon which is stable management and riding, for the weekend afternoon you have to have ridden before to join. Some of the horses are a...
