Right, so I'm trying to find something that matches the rhythm I should be cantering at - the best I could come up with was Survivor by Destiny's Child, or for something funkier, Chicken Noodle Soup ...

So, I'm a former music major, and I'm finding the best way for me to make sure I maintain my rhythm riding to jumps is to have a song in my head, so I can make sure I'm riding the correct pace. I...

I can apparently reply to posts, but can't start a new thread - keep getting the - you must wait 30 seconds message.

From someone who spent five years with an excellent trainer trying to make a strong, opinionated horse do a job he didn't want to do, and who finally sold him only to discover how much more fun...

I confess to not being familiar with EPSM - can someone give me the quick and dirty on it? I always thought it was related to EPM, which I knew the horse was negative for, but quick Googling says...

Anybody? Still need some reassurance! It's going to be a long weekend waiting for our appointment!

Using an alter in case one day I would like to sell said horse....:D

But, having to go in for a bone scan next week - horse is asymmetric in the hindquarters, evident lack of muscle on one side. ...

$165 for stalls????? I want some of the drugs they must be on....

There is a difference between riding courses at home, and riding classes at a show, which include jumpoffs.

Just to clarify, on one day, there were two 2'9" classes, one with a jumpoff. Then...

No, I'm not a pro - I'm another amateur who had my horse there, but I think, and correct me if anyone else was there and I'm wrong, I think it was bleedin' obvious to everyone there that the pony had...

As it happens, I was. And the reason for the thread is because I've seen this happen at least the last two of these shows I was at, and I'm sure it will happen again at the next one, so I'm trying...

Here's the scene - and yes, under an alter so I don't get recognized.

At a C show this weekend to get some jumper experience. They have these shows every six weeks or so. They start at 2'6" and...

Thanks for all the suggestions - we might have to get him started with gymnastics. It's been such an interesting ride with him - six months ago, all of a sudden, ground poles were scary. Then we go...

Again, the suggestions are great - I like the one about the canter pole, and about adjustablility. I'm not sure we've so much skipped the step, as much as we learn it, then he grows a bit, and we...

I'm not trying to disagree with you guys, but doesn't the fact that I have no anxiety at the vertical, no anxiety at the Swedish several weeks ago tend to indicate that it doesn't really have to do...

Here's what's weird - I know about the quality of my canter. In the space of two minutes, if I canter a vertical and then this oxer, I just ride completely differently, because I'm so determined not...

I know this has been posted a few different times, but I thought I'd post my own twist on this and see if someone can help, because I'm very discouraged. And yes, this is an alter - too many people...

Sadly, can't say that I'm surprised - the NCHJA has made it their unofficial mission to get rid of the jumpers entirely, and this year is another step in that direction. For the last several years,...
