Zoey was being fresh and annoying the cra.p outta me. I dont have any vidoes of how she was acting on the flat Lol. To bad what would have been entertaining,
However she sill does LOOK good in the videos.

You dont look bad at all. U need to help her with her striding to jumps because she is getting stuck. Your position is pretty good overall. Nice mouvement on the horse.

Barn_Brat · 09-09-2006, 01:51 PM

Yeah she was alot today.
Ushually it was better. I know it doesent look like it but she was really dragging me to the jumps, something we need to work on.
Thanks!

how old is your horse ?

Erika · 09-09-2006, 02:27 PM

You look great!

But, I think you should try to sit down and lift your hands. By sitting down you are getting of the horse's forehand, and by lifting your hand you will not be bumping your horse in the mouth [not that you are, but just in case...) I also think you should pick a distance and stay with it, instead of picking a distance and then deciding against it, and having her throw in one of those half strides. Also, I think it might look a little smoother if you collected her up, and kept a steady, rhythmic pace, instead of speed up, slow down, speed up, slow down, etc...

Otherwise, keep up the good work!!

We dont know her exact age
The people we bought her from told us she was 10 but I think she may be younger

I noticed a lot of that too, from what I could see of the video. I think Zoey is getting confused and most likely fustrated because she doesnt know what pace she's supposed to be at, what jump she's supposed to jump..I also noticed that she tossed her head a lot after almost every jump.. I recognize that because Rion does that to me when I'm not riding correctly and is getting fustrated with me

So I know how that goes, lol... It kinda looked like.. "This jump.. noooo that jump.. wait no lets take this one" .. and she didnt look all to collected ..so your communication with her is off. I think you have a really nice seat though and your jumping position is good.

I also wanted to ask..
Im really wanting to take her to a few shows..How far do you think she is from being ready?
Here are her quirks-
She tends to be a brat about getting the right lead.
her canter transitions arent very smooth (sometimes) But then again she would probably be excited at a show enough to ant to get going.
she bucks sometimes, and does weird spook things Im dont know how to explain LOL
