I still can not understand how people don't use their embryos immediately. Not only am I impatient but it seems like a waste

You cannot prioritise all the embryos you get in a single year. So you start collecting them :D I have 83 at the moment

If you already have embryos made you can use them at any time if that is what you are asking. It doesn't mater if the mare has been bred or what.

Yep basically. So I went a year only using old embryos, and now im on a cycle of making them for next month and still having 8+ to use every RO. It does mean you'll be using a mare's last embryos after she retires and Im not sure whether that affects LBs while she's on them. Id definitely recommend giving it a go though, its made life so much less stressful haha

...Okay, I think that makes sense. I think I get it now. So I either have to wait until next next RO to get more embryos, or save the ones from this RO and then get into the schedule that you're doing. I hope that's right and makes sense?

If you breed her to a stallion naturally, you can't do any embryos (or if you've done 1st embryo you can't put her to a stallion)
Minerva

It would be the 4th for the second but yes. And as long as the "bred this year" is only up because embryos have been used then youre fine. So I used 3 embryos from one of my mares immediately after RO, then did her first embryo on the 2nd I think, then she had her second done last week when I did the firsts for the others. So she's had 2 embryos made this year and 3 live foals on the ground

So if I create the first one on the 1st, I can make the 2nd one on the 3rd?

And how is it possible to pull embryos from mares when they've already technically bred that year? Do you just have to miss a year for that to work?
Minerva
12:29:59 Min
Its only creating embryos that has a time and number limit- you can use as many as you like whenever you like

Question:
If the mare has already bred this year but you're doing embryos on RO, how exactly does that work? You just have to wait three days before doing the second one?
Minerva

Although I rarely plan matches, just find the best stud at whatever moment I suddenly remember to do them lol. Any time ive planned matches I forget within 5 minutes and discover it when its too late

Haha Gypsy honestly I do them so I dont have to wait for studs on RO. Just have a few loaded right away, then I can spread breeding costs out over the month making embryos for the next month.

I have a few lesson students. They all ride my horses and a beginner/beginner - intermediate. I know how to reach and have been teaching for a while, soIm not looking for critique or other negative feedback. I'm asking, if any other instructors or people who have taken lessons, if there is any exercise the really liked. Either because it was super fun, really helped the students or was fun to teach. I'm looking for flat based exercises mainly for more beginnerish level riders.

I love kicking poles out and making them really make sure they make it through the middle, so that they learn how to steer and really get from point a to point b in a straight line. For the little little kids, if they're in a round pen I'll make them drop the reins and trot with their hands on their head, on their hips, touching the pony's mane, touching the cantle of the saddle, touching the pommel, and asking them little quiz questions about parts of the pony or the tack.

Once they have the basic walk trot thing down (not perfect but just able to go on their own) my instructors used to make me stand in the stirrups to develop balance and a more independent seat!

There are dozens of exercises and manuevers to work through depending on the rider's levels.

Basics -

If you put colored tape or objects by various parts of the riding area (round pen or arena) you can use them for tons of landmark directions. Or if you work in an arena with dressage letters (although not always fun for littles to only work on letters). example - Walk from the green tape to the red tape (point A to point B). Work on walk, halt, changing directions. Trot/canter. two point, no stirrups, one handed, sit trot, rising trot. - Simon Says (Intructor says).

Red Light Green Light -

Stand in the center or end of ring - call out red or green light (they should try to get to you (or touch the rail past you) without being caught by you - it's free to go on green light, but must stop when red light called. - if independent riders, face away at green light, and 'catch' them at red light if they move. Can throw in 'punishments' if caught moving - five steps back, lose stirrups for two laps of two point/posting, etc.

Barrel or Pole Pattern

Doesn't matter if English or Western - a pattern is great for steering work, control, and balance. If you don't have barrels or rodeo poles - use cones (so easy to set up any course without bulky objects)

I warmed my littles up with stretching exercises

Dropped stirrups/reins and work on stretching arms forward/backward (reach for ears/tail); windmill arms; touch toes with hands (left-left, right-right, left-right, right-left); wiggle legs, ankles, toes; roll head [show how heavy the head is and how big of a role your eyes affect steering]; play Head, Shoulders, Knees, and Toes (point to body parts. Apply to horse (ears, mane, withers, tail etc.).

All the stretching gets the rider loose and less tension, better balance, seat sinking into saddle, shoulders rolled back and hips open, arms moving with horse.

'Grocery Shopping' - set out grooming brushes around the arena (on the rail or on barrels/jump standards, etc.) and give the rider a bucket - either they carry it with them or you carry it while they steer. They have to steer towards the item, halt, and pick up the item - put into basket, and walk on. If multiple independent riders, make it a race game.

For more advanced students -

Leap Frog for cantering - student in front canters until they are at the back of the group, then repeat.

Swap horses - ride 'your' horse for fifteen/ten minutes, then switch, ride for 10-15 minutes, and switch again (repeat). You could have them back on their original horse - discuss the differences, pros/cons, easy/difficult, whatever they noticed between horses.

Musical Stalls - set ground poles to form a stall for each horse. One less than the players. Play music and stop it randomly.

If you have advanced students and can ride with them (or trail ride)

Follow the leader - have them follow you then after five minutes, switch to the next rider as a leader and they get five minutes to do whatever.

Steering through cones is what I loved when I learned, I still do it and it's lots of fun
