GAHHH!!!! NO!!! WAAAHHHH!!!!!

NO NO NO!! SUCKY!!!!!!

I"m with Portia on this one. I think it's just a matter of DQitis to be worried about something like this. For one thigk it's common in hunters and jumpers (I had several student s in nthis boat when...

I"m glad you had your lid on!!

I do every ride. One, because I believe in it, two, because I promised my husband ;)

Hat hair is NO excuse.
For pete's sake, get better styling products! Who is...

Yeah. It's a Cadillac or a Pontiac. (I wonder if there's a price/level/recruitment difference in what you have to sell?) You are allowed 'red' or 'pink' now!! :lol:

Cool- a local hunner with dressidge aspirations!! :lol:
I find the biggest difference is in the seat; "sitting up straight' doesn't even come close to the correct feeling ;)
For the deeper dressage...

:lol:

Righty. That's NOT a laugh of mirth.

I'm not sure how much has to do with the "New" systems.. I've been having the same ongoing problem for over 20 years. I think twice (two years) I...

I once worked for a BO/trainer/coach/judge who sells Nikken.
The bottom line is, Nikken was her business and horses were not. Everything that happened in the barn revolved around Nikken.. who got...

I'm buying an older, used PSL (The Katrin). Does that count? Yes it actually is soft and comfy, but still a shallower seat and close contact. I think my horse and I really like it.. however it needs...

Listen grasshopper:

Dressage is not a demographic. Dressage is a state of being.

That is all. :)

Desperate times call for desperate measures...

This morning I filpped my Stubben hunter leathers (brown) upside down and TAPED them into place with lovely masking tape. :)

Worked like a charm.....

Thanks everyone! I like the ones at Dressage Extensions, but shipping to Canada is going to kill me (on principle.. I may end up with them).

I found these too.
At first I thought, at tht price,...

I dont want to be a guesser.

But...

I have ridden in both regular and gusseted Passiers, and the 'freedom panels' of two other brands (Wintec WIDE and Anky XL). So FWIW:

I love the regular...

Oh a cuff, yes I woulnd't mind one of those! Again, noone here has them.. I wonder if I'll have to get leathers/cuff made somewhere.
Maybe once I get the saddle reflocked (assuming I buy it) it'll...

Back again with yet another dressage shopping question!
Is there any sort of name anyone could think of to google the type of leathers that have the buckles by the stirrup? I'd rather not have the...

Maybe you weren't sitting correctly before and now you are? Just another thought to throw into the hat.

WOOT!!
I recieved my WH Ultra D-Ring (yes D-ring, back when I ordered it I thought we'd be going hunters, haha) today!!

I went up too (5 3/4), as I've heard that you will probably need larger in...

Aha! So maybe someone can get their $40bux back!! :lol:
But I'm not SURE if I can do it. I'll let you know though! Or anyone else who can't volunteer themselves.

Andersons? I was thinking of volunteering at that one.

Gotcha :) Was just a thought. I'm dying to get my darn bit!! I ordered from http://equinegoddess.com/info.html, who I think has one of everything except the one I want. They're on sale now and really...

Ok.. I just reread the OP and your trainer is not old school traditional if he wants to take away the bit that works for you (the D Mylar) and put in a loose ring snaffle just because he likes the...

I've got an 8 yr old "race trained, broodmare, hacked half a dozen times by a heavy handed western person" mare who had the biggest bit issues I've EVER seen. Talk about tossy and mouthy! But for...

Doesn't Dressage Extensions have one for around $120? I think I heard it was OK.
I admit to buying a black coat from Greenhawk b/c it was on sale, and it fit fabulously, looks much more expensive...

I think it's hard to tell if she's lame or bridle lame. We've got a so-called 'trainer' who comes into the barn to teach the two snobs we have. Both snob's horses (one a paint..kinda..thing, the...

We think alike, alas. Maybe I should have said "oGallop".

Was this on a horse... or an iGallop????
