Buckeye is right. I have seen English and western horses ruined because all the riders care about is ribbons and buckles. My barn does Western Pleasure and some ranch classes, but we are primarily English based. We focus on horsemanship as well being able to correct behaviors.
The amount of times I've fallen off for stupid things 😂 Like the time I fell off Flynn because I was too busy looking at a bird and he spooked at a really really scary bush that isn't actually that scary anymore
@Rain, unfortunately I went to 3 different barns in my area to take english lessons and at each one the focus was showing and being the boss of your horse.
Hello chat!! I'm not sure if this would be better suited for the forums or not. How long did it take you guys to figure out what you wanted to do with your account? I'm not very active here, and I pop in every now and then to keep my account going, but I was planning to try and get more into this lol
to be fair, if you want to succeed in showing AND be a good horseman, it should always be about proper training, proper riding and ASKING the horse in a way they understand and give you want you are looking for in the ride/performance.
And a horse needs direction from its rider. Gosh knows I have had to fix way too many spoiled horses who had people not *telling them what to do* for lack of a better phrase.
We do that at my barn hummer. It is the opposite here- all our local rodeo people care about is winning buckles and getting as many students as possible to win buckles.
I mean I don't show/compete my horses They are show/compete ready because I lease them out to people for a competition or show etc I keep them in top condition but if I'm riding them or working with them, it's just me and them having fun
I got tired of the focus being showing when I rode english so I switched to western. Now I actually work on bonding with my horse, rather than just telling them what to do.
I don't ride western and I keep forgetting there are different brands of western saddles I'm just like yeah it's a western saddle what do you mean what brand 😂
My western is a crate (that is the only writing I can find on it) But English saddle will depend. Instructor is helping me there, and she knows what to get.
It is what it is. I expected something to pop up in my 30s, based on the rest of my family and it did. I have a good doctor and I manage the symptoms...Which is mostly just my joints being pieces of shit
I cannot even name all the saddle brands I have, though I do love my Custom Dressage, my Reinsman reiner, my Bates Dressage, and my Prestige monoflap jumping saddles. Those are my favs. Best fits for multi horses and most comfy and need not fight for proper position when riding in them
