Who would like to ride my horse?

She looks lovely. I'm only 20 minutes up the road and I'd love to meet her but I'm a midget and I doubt my legs would come much below the saddle flaps :(

This is me and my princess - i know we need to get on the case of some proper matchy matchy for our schooling ;)

*shout out to all confused people* the door is there >>>>


@ suziq - your neddy is lovely and some nice matching navy sets would make her even more lovely :D
 
BH those last two videos - her trot is sexyyyy... Obvs, I mean the two embeded ones not the fb one :o

Suziq77, you're clearly not doing dressage :rolleyes: - there's no matchy matchy at all there :eek: :D

Thank you so much BH. The first two videos were exactly what I was expecting her to be like :) She looks utterly fabulous in video 1 and 2, very happy, fluid and beautiful forward motion. Not so much in video 3 although I only watched to about 5 mins. What age was she in those videos?

Video 1 and 2 was last year :)

Video 3 was 2007

She can go very nicely in a snaffle but she bolts with me in one and im sorry but i cannot risk it. I ride her a lot in a cambridge pelham too as i do not like to use my double too much :)

Please dont make me shop, im trying to detox :P

Dressage deluxe, classic dressage, fur feather meds etc are all places you should be looking at a lot :P

I understand :) Well I had a rather large smile on my face watching the first 2 videos, she was an absolute pleasure to watch thank you. Have I asked before, what's her breeding?

She is superb in those, but, black_horse, the upload date on them is March 2010 or almost two years ago.

I have to agree she does look lovely in those first two videos. Is that you riding BH? If so, cant deny, you're very good :)

OP, you just need a new saddle ;), try one of those:
http://www.reactorpanel.com/RPstore/product.php?productid=14
or an Aussie saddle (or a western with bucking rolls).
The gingerbred hasn't managed to get me off since I've got a saddle with polleys. I even went for a hack without stirrups when I first got it and you just go with them when they spook/buck/bolt because the blocks keep your tights in (really comfy to sit the trot to).
where are you based? I'll let you try mine if you want.

Edited to add: she didn't do all that on the one hack, she only spooked once at a big black dog that came out of a hedge.

I tried riding in one of these but it set off an RSD attack :(

Very nice :) Thank you
 
Please don't take this the wrong way, because you're a far better ride than I'll ever be. :)

What I see is a tense horse and a rider with a tight grip on her mouth. Both of you look like you need to take a deep breath and relax. :)

Have you considered a different noseband rather than the double? I think all that's doing is making her curl up. It might be worth a try, anyway.

Curious- what is she fed and how long is she turned out for?
 
Lovely horse! I am confused by the alledged misbehaviour though?!! My mare does worse than that and I'm a wimp!!

I am nowhere near as good a rider as you OP, but to me it looks as if the behaviour is being caused by your horse being restricted far too much in the mouth.
