Is some of this stuff actually true?

[CastleMouse]

- Using side reins on horses below established Elementary Dressage level diminishes mouths.
Surely if they're incorrectly used on a horse of any level it'll cause that as well...

- Cotton lead ropes cause ignorant horses.
- 6 foot long lead ropes are too short for control or safety. Buy a 3.6m long Parelli type rope.

Are they trying to promote Parelli...?

Got it from here - http://www.horseproblems.com.au/horse_problems_warning_page.htm

Am with you on that!!!!

I have to say on reading that; I would categorically agree with 95% of everything written.

 

[CastleMouse]

Definitely, most of the stuff on there I completely agree with, but those two things stood out as a bit "odd"...

 

[Tia]

There was another one that I chuckled at but I can't remember what it was now LOL!!

Bit of an ironic name eh?

 

[apkelly01]

What's Salvation Jane??

 

[WFL]

What if you do dressage above and below Elementary and use side reins? Does it cancel out?

I presume a "horse float" means a trailer. Sounds like a converted milk float...

"Driving any faster than 50% of the recommended Road Transport speed limit for each bend will cause the floatability of your horse to be ruined."
WTF? Does this mean we will sink the next time we go through a water jump?

"Salvation Jane kills horses."
Then this woman should be arrested and prosecuted! Is she in the Salvation Army?

"Long toed horses can and do fall with riders' "
With riders' what?

"Cotton lead ropes cause ignorant horses."
Mine is nylon, so that is alright I presume?

Wat a load of rubbish!

 

[custard]

LMAO about no. 30. 'Low hanging branches can cause injury to horses'

What about the poor f**** riders!

And who the hell is Salvation Jane, how does she kill horses? Beat them to death with a tambourine?!

Seriously any or all of these could be true but they all seem like common sense to me, perhaps he's trying to preach horsemanship for chimps?!!!

 

[The Original Kao]

[CastleMouse]

Ah, so cotton lead ropes make a difference then do they? Thank goodness the snazzy red "confetti" one that I bought on a whim yesterday is polypropylene !!!!

Honestly, what a total load of rubbish!

" Driving any faster than 50% of the recommended Road Transport speed limit for each bend will cause the floatability of your horse to be ruined. "

Number 12 says 'Tying horses up solid with rope halter and Parelli type lead rope can cause serious injury to the horse if you have not done your homework and learnt about the 30 or so traps.' so I don't think he is necessarily promoting Parelli

Complete tosh!!
