By: stallionsage. on 24 Jan 12, 01:02:46 when u put the blanket on your horse i suggest to put it up a bit higher than normal and slide it down into its normal spot so? that if any hairs are sticking up they will be brushed down with the way his/her hair goes so they dont irritate him/her

good video. ... By: 123456789mischief. on 05 Dec 10, 09:42:17 good video. definetly one of the better ones. allthough the cross ties are an english tradition, with western the horse had to stand when the lead rope is dropped. the logic being that there might not be anything available to tie the horse to. but if they prefer it good for them nothing wrong with it.
the saddle fit also. i see a lot of people let the saddle rest on the top of the withers. there should be at least two finger space between the sasddle? and the top of withers.
the dropping of the ... By: 123456789mischief. on 05 Dec 10, 09:33:40 the dropping of the reins? is part of western riding though. if the horse is trained properly western when the rein is dropped it should stand there and wait. I do understand your concern though.
oh ok? :) By: Jaxton98. on 23 Nov 10, 19:22:27 oh ok? :)
Yeah, do that too, ... By: Thoroughbred17. on 23 Nov 10, 19:15:00 Yeah, do that too, but my horse won't open his mouth easily like that. It's? to encourage them to open their mouth.
Very detailed, I ... By: Thoroughbred17. on 23 Nov 10, 19:14:05 Very detailed, I just have one or two things about the bridling process. Dropping the reins on the ground like that is very dangerous, because it the horse spooks and bolts forward, he could step on the reins and get caught or break them. Second, putting the bit against the horse's teeth is discouraged, especially for beginner riders, which is the target audience for this video. They? aren't experienced enough with a bridle to not smash it roughly against the teeth. Still a great video, though!

By: JumpinSuperPony. on 12 Jul 10, 12:57:19 for u who said the pad shouldnt be pulled up like that, it actually should. it dusnt matter bout the distance between the pad and saddle if its pulled up nd there? Is room underneath. u shouldnt put pressure on the withers and shoulders, so thats wut ur rele looking at
