Well, in the old days it used to be forward seat, balance seat, independent seat, hunters/jumpers with 80% of the saddle time spent on serious "flat work" (true dressage in the good barns, "yank and...

I thought all three were in on it and the girl got her mother and the guy to help. I thought it was a woman scorned thing, girl wanted revenge on Credit Card's owner?

Trixie, well said :yes:

Wow :eek:

I actually had seen that once and didn't exactly get it. Now I know. Thank you.

Well, this board has had some trouble today, so maybe it is something on the 'net' in general that is...

Ultimate Dressage Bulletin Board? Is that a completely different BB than here (COTH BB) or is that an anacronym that COTH people use for the dressage thread section of COTH here? Sorry to be so...

What is UDBB? I have never been able to get the search engine to work right.

Board has been acting up in general the past couple of days.

I am wondering why the powers that be think this is so important.

It is hard for me not to think it is some sort of elitist move, but I could be very wrong.

I really think there are so many...

I am trying my darndest to be well behaved, but it's tough :(

I am one of those people that sees humor in just about everything, unfortunately that includes a bit of dark humor on occasion.

Who's Will :confused:

OK, here we go ...

I am older than some of the eventers on this thread :yes:

That being said, I grew up under military riding instructors, mostly men. When I wasn't getting lessons from them,...

I think the number and type of accidents in eventing right now are reflecting some changes that have taken place in eventing over the past ten or so years, probably more, and that it has reached a...

:yes:

*sigh* I never said or implied they were the same thing. Lengthening to me means that you are working on lengthening the stride of whatever gait you are working on.

And, if you are using the term...

I am extremely critical of my own riding and whatever horse I am on. However, I understand physics, biomechanics, engineering (more pyhsics and biomechanics) and I truly love the horse. I do not make...

nhwr, I am sure you are going to find what I am about to say appalling for whatever bizarre reason you can muster up.

I stated in an earlier post that I made comments for educational purposes,...

Generally a lengthening is any gait other then collection and working, which would include medium and extended :yes:

The young three year old that you are referring to on the 2nd video isn't at a "level". It states that he has been under saddle for three weeks.

I would venture a guess that he has progressed,...

Winninggaits,

I am not sure why others seem so determined to read more into my post than was actually there.

The question was about NOT about endurance riding at all. That is why I phrased it...

I think a "return to play" rule is an excellent idea. I also think that JERs recognition that the impacts involved are more like those involved in Formula 1 racing and Nascar than NFL types of head...

Winninggaits, I like that young horse a lot. He has a lot of suspension, elasticity of gait and what I call, "float". A horse like that looks like they defy the laws of gravity when they are trained...

Well, it would be nice if we could go back and read "them" for ourselves, but think-about-it and you and a couple of others DEMANDED those things be removed from the thread.




Well, we are...

Who's Trixie?

Thank you. Much appreciated.

Having a cold snap here. 82 and humid. Had major rain yesterday so humidity is high. Horse and I still come in, hhmmm, sweaty.

Used to ride in Lafayette LA ... two saddle pads and boots soaked...

Pommererdue,

That's a fair question.

I did it because I felt like doing it. I thought it was an exceptionally nice combination of horse and rider, and the rider is a great example of what...
