We tried Horse boarding for the 1st time today! Pics!

So we have been wanting to try fir a while, but with one thing and another didn't get round to it today, it was loads of fun and K took to it really well.

We didn't go super fast, just wanted to get him used to it and for my OH too as well, but it was so much fun!

Body protector was a good idea

haha brave horse! he/she is lovely by the way....love the horse in the next field running alongside like 'what the hell is going on here?!'

 

[minkymoo]

Oh he loved it! we have been practising round the roads on a shorter rope but this is the first time in canter. it is so much fun!

Horse in the background is his partner in crime clearly wanting a piece of the action!

ps - sorry for the double post - stupid iPad!

OH really enjoyed it too! Horse was a bit surprised by his helmet though!

Looking forward to picking up a bit more speed next time!

Looks fun...don't think either of my 2 would cope with it but it is definately something I would like to try...maybe I will start off with a Shetland until i get used to it! Well done to both of you.

Well done!! looks ace

 

[Ibblebibble]

that is excellent!! just showed hubby and even he was impressed! how does the line attatch to the saddle? can't see clearly in the pics

 

[minkymoo]

It's very technical! 2 side reins (see they do have a use!) attached to the leather straps on his breastplate, pass under stirrup leathers and hooked together with a large brass clip behind the saddle. Lunge line then attached to the brass clip. Looking to get a wake boarding line as will be a bit shorter you need to be able to unhook lungeline quickly see.

We have had OH pulled on hacks so horse is used to him behind. Lungline was a bit of a challenge as was quite red, so a bit spooky at first! Feel very proud of both my boys!

I have not wanted to read this , ad did not know what it was ....

Now , looks like great fun , how did you train your horses to do it?

 

[PercyBrown]

Does the board move easily or does the horse have to pull quite hard to get board going ?
