Need help with Saddle Fit?
Before getting this new saddle, Gabe was having a lot of issues going forward. Now he is excelling in his trianing, and we are making leaps and bounds of progress.
I highly recommend Reed at +19492914224 to help you get a saddle that fits you and your horse. English saddles and endurance saddles. I love the one she brought to the fitting and Gabes mom bought for me to ride him in! It's so easy to ride in and gives me a ton of confidence on this young warmblood.
We need at least 1 more person to get her over this way soon to fit a horse I have in training, anyone need help with saddle fit?
Gabe went on a field trip today. We kept it slow and relaxed. He did really well. We had gunfire, loud trucks with Jake brakes, and motorcycles going down the rd. He really looked to me for guidance. Honestly, I didn't think he would be this good. I thought we wouldn't make it past the lunging process. We are trying again tomorrow, I will try and get a longer video!
He makes me look so small! 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Another video in the comments.
Another one of Pheobe! She was very scared of baths. Teach them to ground tie, and suddenly they become willing participants! 🤣
Phoebe came to learn the gate.
Prerequisites to the gate:
Settling
Side pass
Turn on the forehand
Turn on the haunches.
She got it on the last day she was here. She goes home tomorrow! Until she comes back soon. I hope.
*volume on*
The back up teaches the horse to shift their weight on to their hocks and improves the canter depart, helping prevent a horse falling on the forehand and perpetuatally feeling like they’re running away. A nice canter depart sets the scene for many more maneuvers and quality movement.
Here I am riding in this glorified bareback pad on Gabe, 17.2 hand warmblood. I've been working with him for 4 months. The Colt starter got him to be able to accept a rider at the walk while being led. I couldn't start him at the time due to my health. Kirsten at criedmont also put some rides on him after the colt starter.
Never thought I would be riding this huge of a horse bareback! But he outgrew his saddle, and we are on the hunt for an extra wide dressage saddle!
I feel like the little girl in the movie War Horse, when I ride Gabe. He is turning into a brave, relaxed and forward horse.
Also, the groan is his owner, who is taking the video. I'm not sure what she was doing.
Beau is doing good! He doesn't have a good stop it turns out. But he is learning to have a soft stop and is learning leg pressures. I think Apollo feels a lot softer and broke after only 5 rides compared to this little guy. But I did a lot of in hand bridle work with Apollo. So basically, he was a get on and go, and he feels pretty broke.
Beau is here to finish he had 60 days with a colt starter.
OG is overcoming his fear of ropes. Still alot of work to be done with ropes, but he is learning to accept them.
