To all the old timers on here...

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

Apologies, horse has a high head carriage :p although that's made me create a new term for boobs that have been medically enhanced and are proudly sitting as far up as possible ie. A high head carriage ;) although I wonder those with high head carriage boobs are able to sit back when riding, the weight of boobs being higher up must make it a lot more difficult.

Well, presumably with very large boobs your eyesight is partially restricted (i have no experience of this :p) so perhaps unable to view take off points as well. But the contact would be more to do with the larger boobs having a larger movement (pendulum effect?) therefore you have to keep moving elbows in and out = poor contact.

I think I shall rustle up a questionnaire on this topic, so when I present it to the research committee I can have a good argument :D

Hmmmm, now I wonder if it is my lopsided boobs that are causing wonkiness in the saddle?

That could be a valid reason! One big bigger or higher than the other sounds like a definite possible cause of unbalanced riding.

Cut a bra in half next time you ride and see? :biggrin3:

Yes, think this would be a good research technique. Strap one in and secure, and allow the other one to bounce freely. Heights of boob carriage could also affect results, so would need to use push up, plunge, sports bra etc. :D

I find it all samey.

This is the first year I am not entering SS.

Also I am still very much a happy hacker not out of choice I just can't afford transport.

And I feel that unless your spending loads on your horse all the time and feeding everything under the sun or following a barefoot diet plan then there isnt much to read on here anymore.

I also never got over the forum change, still looks awful on my phone.

I am now off for a wonder about the forum.

The thing that amazes me most is that this thread hasn't been moved to Club House yet.... c'mon people WHERE are the horse references :D :D

I've been here since 2004 and to be honest I only come on here when I am bored -as with any forum I suppose, it feels like I have seen it all before?

Ummmm, someone mentioned Mary King, and someone else mentioned competition reports... does that count?

If not, I would like to announce that I am taking ben hunting for the first time a week tomorrow ;) See, now its horsey :D

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.

Next time, just wrap them around a couple of warm sausages instead... that'll do it!

Cortez said:
Enfys, that is a truly lovely Paso :-)

Cortez, Thankyou that is very kind of you :)

Estrella is classic fino, and did the circuit in the US, I learned very quickly not to 'kiss' at her because that is the cue for proper fino, quite an experience to ride her when she really collects herself :D

My eldest daughter naughtily testing out her littlest sister's section A. I have obviously seriously chastised her for not kitting up with appropriate hi-viz, helmet and airbag for the experience but hey these youngsters they think they are invincible!!

Edited to add - just noticed that someone has clearly forgotten to poo pick the yard!!! All of the horses are probably going to die of worms now!!!!

I miss the roll up roll up thread that was epic .

LMAO at Minesadouble. Pretty pony, I used to use my daughter's welshie to take hay up to my other ponies on the mountain. I used a roller and hooked nets onto it. He used to carry 2 bales a day up a very steep hill, and then I'd ride him back down to the yard :) Fast :)

Wasn't the roll up, roll up thread started by PF?

Enfys, I agree with Cortez, your mare is utterly wonderful. :) I'd love to ride a Paso, they look like such fun.

Thankyou Faracat, they are very much like Arabs in their nature and temperament - I had a stand up cyber row with someone the other day who said Arabs were nothing like Pasos, turned out she was comparing appearance and had never even met a Paso. It is often said that if you like Arabs you will like Pasos, if you like Quarter horses then you will appreciate the more placid temperament of Rockies and Walkers.

If I had been looking for another Paso Estrella would not even have got a look in, too small, too plain, chestnut - but then I rode her ... b****r the boxes! Pasos are fun (but not all as energetic all the time as E), I think of them as mini Iberians (which is basically what they started out as) my aim is to try out all the gaited horses I can beg, steal or borrow. Gaited horses are big here, there is a very active GH Club, that ride on the video was organised by the Peruvian club , the pinto beside me, and the chestnut behind were also Pasos, the big horse (guy had chaps on) was a Walker, and there were a lot of Rockies there too.

I'm not really here. For all the reasons already stated. I go on ToH, pop into the Clubhouse on here, and poddle around FB. I like to be able to discuss things in detail, look at pictures, read other points of view, and have a good old fashioned giggle, all of which seem to be sadly lacking on here. I still remember some rib splittingly funny evenings on here. I'll always be thankful for the support and the people I've met.
