Have you ever had such cold hands, that you thought it would be a good idea to just tuck them into your morag restrainer for a bit of a warmy warm, only to end up with a horrendous morag ice burn type affair?

No?




Just me then.

Snorts :) Wonderful :)

I am screwing up the courage to put a video of me on my pony on here, just to see how many things I am doing wrong, and what I should be doing to make my sins right. I can't do it.

I could put up a pic of me on the childs pony but I would get lynched...

At least I don't have to use the grass reins ;)

Fab idea and then we can discuss if you are too heavy, if the saddle is too big / small for you / the pony etc.

And the merits of grass reins and all other artificial aids for schooling, hacking ..........

And will you be wearing a hat, hi viz, body protector, air jacket .......

The possibilities are endless!!!!!!!

Starzaan, how I have missed you :) I am sitting here, all alone (bliss) cackling to myself over this thread.

"How big are your hands????"

Got to go, drag some unidentified meat out of the freezer and whack it in to defrost, OH due home soon, I have strategically positioned the hoover in the sitting room, all plugged in, so that when the truck pulls in I can turn it on and look REALLY busy ;) Not like I have been on the pc, or out riding and walking dogs all day.

Oh, NOW I really need to put up that video. My horse is 13h, can we have a 3 page discussion on why she is a horse and not a pony too.

But if you are sat on a small pony don't we have to work out that you are 20% of said pony's total weight?

My squished pony on a 30km wine ride around some of the Wineries in PEC, Ontario in September.

*Blushes prettily*

TBH I can't really take credit for it; my first RI used the phrase a lot - and blimey we knew to not let him, or she would be blistering. I learned to ride in the 60s and she was old school, then. We certainly learned to ride, though, along with horsemanship. No fluffy bunnies there!

We all all have "that" RI's voice ringing in the ear but thanks to HHO, I have a few of the members' RI's too :D
 
An air jacket to ride the mini welsh pony dormouse - love it :) Rolling out of bed would be higher ;)

Pony squishing pics coming up at the weekend peregrine falcon... I need to sit on him for some flag/ mounted games practice. .

Video is up on here, somewhere. In my defence, look up Paso fino, and classic fino in particular. She is what she is.

What I always find amusing is that even with all the fluffy bunny/health and safety is that when someone takes their horse swimming they are never told to have a life jacket :P

I am interested in the boob to hand ratio though. Would having a higher boob measurement mean requiring a bigger horse? and small boobs safe to ride a small pony?
Advantage would be that when riding the huge horse when the buggerr decides to toss you off you have a pair of ready made airbags to cushion the descent.

Although in counter argument having bigger boobs on a larger horse may impeed your ability to maintain a good consistent contact especially if you have one that has a high neck carriage. Which could potentially mean that those with big boobs should not attempt dressage, but maybe stick to hacking and if well supported then try jumping.

Think I could get a research grant to study this further? :p

confused here. do you mean that one boob may have a high neck carriage? in which case it is possible that if you are wearing a top thats lower cut than a round neck you may have one peeping out at neck level which could be embarrasing if you are trying to do an elegant sitting trot. also considering the hand warming on the boobs that started this is the contact with the boob or the horse? you should apply for a grant and put a questionaire on here like so many students do :D
