Yes! Twice in once week even. I was walking around the town where I go to college (my car is parked 1/2 mile from my dorm so I have to walk there and back in my riding clothes). Just in my basic...

I bought a pair of Kerrits Performance Tights in the Flow rise. And I LOVE THEM! Never ever going back to anything else! I also have a pair of Devon Aire X Hipsters and I haven't killed them yet...

Big ditto! I find that I have much more muscle awareness when I am fitter and more endurance too. While riding is the best exercise for become a better rider I have found that yoga has been an...

I just saw this thread-- PM'ed you.

Hope you don't mind me bumping this up! I'm planning to study abroad in at Victoria-Wellington University in NZ in spring of 2010 and am just interested in the horse scene in general. Thanks everyone...

I've seen a lot of what you are describing Bridal especially in teens (of course not all). Girls whose parents can afford and are willing to pay lots and lots of money for their daughter to ride with...

Thanks I appreciate it! I'm only going to be there for the fall semester through the Washington Semester program and really want to keep up the riding. I've gotten in touch with the AUET captain and...

Ooh I would love some input too! I am going to be in DC also and am debating riding with American University's team or if I should branch out. It's going to be awful not having a car!

Well here I was admiring my muscular calves--toned from riding, running and yoga. Then I measured em--guess the horse world doesn't quite like people with 16" calves!! Having a tough time finding...

Just wanted to chime in that I think the second and third pictures are GORGEOUS! You look really capable and comfortable. I wish I looked like that! Everyone has given you some great advice. :)

I would also recommend yoga---a great all over body workout.

I just checked the sizing chart--looks like you can't get these quite as wide as the Richmond style. Bummer. They sound absolutely great!

I've been pretty pleased with my Herm Sprengers. I found they have just enough flexibility. Was worth the $175 I dropped on em!

To be relaxed, that those jumps are not the big deal I think they are. Having this attitude when I'm riding helps me ride quieter, calmer, organize myself better and have a good attitude about...

I agree! Strength training, core workouts, yoga (especially!) will all aid you in becoming a better rider. I wish I had started sooner!

While I'm not running presently, I have run up to 4-5 times a week (slow and steady as to increase endurance) but I wasn't riding at the time. While up at school I was playing volleyball 2-3x a week...

The one where I never even made it into the ring!

Horse and I were rushing to get to our class, I went to get on, got on, feet not even in the stirrups yet, and he saw some flapping tent (at least...

Just thought I'd chime in--I just bought the Flow Rise Tights yesterday and I am in LOVE with them. Not as light as I had expected but they fit SUPER well and in black are VERY slimming.

Does...

Haha YES! Devon Aire Hipsters are also that way.

I second the Kerrits! I'm wearing their low rise and they are SO comfortable. Seriously I can't wait to buy a few more pairs!!

I have ridden in one a few times and it was AWESOME. Super super comfortable. Does place your leg more forward but I would ride in on hour long trail rides and no problems. If you can find one that...

I have been in this position also and found that I was just past what the trainer could offer me. Your instructor does not seem very invested in her teaching IMHO.

Thank you! I am fairly confident that those are the books I was referring to.

Ditto! Whenever trainer has me trotting jumps it is always about impulsion impulsion impulsion! Trot up to it, slightly close hip angle, and the just got right back to posting and repeat for however...

Seriously!? I've been waiting for a sequel for the last like 7 years! I couldn't believe it when I finished that book--I seriously thought someone had taken chapters out of my book!

Even though that character drove me CRAZY and I can't find one of the books for some reason, I love her other non-horsey book Water for Elephants too.

Anyone ever read a young adult novel about a...
