:eek: Very odd. Very creepy.

I forgot to add a pic by the way!

So he takes off and rears, but you don't wear a hat?
 
ugh why do people always feel they have to comment and be snide when people aren't wearing a hat, I'm sure the rider is intelligent enough to know the risks and make their own choices - isn't anyone elses business.

^^ completely agree with midi :) he's stunning and the pictures are beautiful. I think its pretty obvious the OP is using the phrase taking off to describe an uphill canter - if thats his version of bolting she is exceptionally lucky! Everyones entitled to their opinion but I think the apparent unavoidable need to voice it is a little sad tbh. Regardless of my opinion I respect the OP enough to merely enjoy the beauty of the pictures. Please don't start a hat debate on what is a lovely thread. I would also like to see some before and after pics :).

Every other poster who doesn't wear a hat it pulled up on it on here, so why not this one? Because she has a beautiful horse?

I don't understand the apparent double standard.

As has been said a thousand times before and will be said a thousand times again, not wearing a hat when riding a horse is not personal choice, unless one is a hermit.

Again, I reiterate, it is a beautiful horse and one to be rightly proud of.
 
The posters who moan about hats or lack of; I hope you approach every person you see smoking and tell them of the dangers of chuffing. In addition I hope you stop all cyclists minus helmets too and warn them of the danger their heads are in!
It's none of your business, until such time it's mandatory by law then please keep your opinions to yourself! It's the same rule I follow for people who wave big sticks and flap long lines in the face of their horses ;)

Agree ^^^^ also, maybe instead of posting "would look even better with a hat" blah blah blah on every post, and double standards cfomment. How about no one says anything...?! and just mumbles behind their own screen...?!

Stunning horse! You both look lovely- wish my non competing horses looked and went like that...

seperate note- what make is the saddle?
 
A number of people commented on the lack of hat. They (and I) have the right to do that do we not? We also complimented the poster on her lovely horse :D.

Everytime I see a picture of someone not wearing a hat I will comment. Simples. Put me on UI. As to cyclists, etc., yes I do comment, but I have to say, most of them round here wear helmets and I can't remember the last time I saw someone mounted (in RL) without a hat :D

Now the thread has gone into the hat realm, even though I don't remember seeing a post that just said 'Wear a hat!'.

Don't care about the hat or lack of it, do care about how stunning your horse is and I think you should give him to me :-)

Wow your a lucky lady to have such a stunning animal, looks like you done a grand job with his training too.

Have to admit I'm super jealous

Please keep us updated with photos, he is so handsome.

Hear hear! Exactly what I was trying to say, but much better phrased :)
 
Well, Mrs Mozartletoe, I'm a hermit, I don't wear a helmet when cycling (welcome to Holland, no-one does, even the kids don't) and I don't wear a hat when riding. :D

smac, it's a MacRider saddle.

Thanks everyone!:D

I very much doubt (and hope) that someone as young and beautiful as you is a hermit. I also very much hope that you never come off and hit your head. And if you wonder why I appear to harp on about this, think of me as a reformed smoker, I came off and hit my head. It was a silly fall, totally unexpected. If I hadn't had a hat on I would have died, leaving husband and children; even with a hat, I have suffered brain damage.

Again I will say, a beautiful horse and and an elegant rider.
 
Wow the vid is fab and the other pics are ace OP :D

Hat brigade needs to give it a rest. Its been posted about, OP has replied and is being very polite about it all in telling you that is her choice. Maybe accept that gracefully and bow out.

I agree with the poster about people who smoke. I would imagine if I went round those who smoke and prattled on about cancer etc I would get a sock in the mouth eventually. I know my friends would, their choice i just ask them NOT to do it round me :D

It's.my.own.choice.

Thank you.
 
Ah, beautiful photos!
Gorgeous horse, and rider: you're gorgeous too <g>
I imagine both of you have potential suitors running after you, not just Sendero ;)

I just wish I could ride like you - who knows, one day...

Anyway: thanks for sharing, and look forward to hearing about your UK competition reports.
NB The quarantine you were thinking of is probably the one which was required for dogs in the past, as there is no rabies (hondsdolheid)in the UK. Nowadays it's possible to do it with a series of vaccinations and vet certificates, and 'passport' the dog for travel to and from the UK.

Oh thank you! Everyone can ride like this, it's just practice, practice and more practice, and a few lessons on a schoolmaster helps!

Ok, thats probebly what I was thinking about then.

I tell you what, when you find him missing from your field tomorrow, thats what I'll be doing, practise, practise, practising on your lovely horse ;) :D

He is seriously lovely, I suspect you may get some HHO visitors over to see him. I love the jumping video too, he seems so overjoyed to be doing it, so much so that he cannot decide to do with his legs :D

Great to see a powerful dressage horse that also gets to have a play around jumping too :) I have a half Lusitano, and whilst he'd like to pretend that sometimes he is a big stallion when he sees a scary plastic bag, in reality he's a complete weed, and I dread to think how tiny he'd look next to your boy :eek: :D
 
What a stunning horse with such a lovely kind eye! Was he hard to train? People have debated about the 'hotness' of Iberians on here. Are they very intelligent and trainable. He has gorgeous paces. How often do you school him if you don't mind me asking and does he hack out? :)

Be my guest, he's as soft as a teddy and wouldn't hurt a fly. He loves attention too.

Haha, he makes some warmbloods look pruny...:D

YasandCrystal, he is/was the easiest horse I've ever trained! Really wanting to work and very intelligent. He is 'hot', but he only uses it when I ask for it (like on these pics).

I school him 4 times a week, he loose jumps once a week, gets a day off and we hack on sundays.

Thanks, very interesting. He's lovely
 
I have a Spanish, my first, and Im finding suppleness over his back to be the biggest issue.

Did have this with Sendero?
