Vaulting on to an unbroken horse for the first time at Lucan Lodge - "Turbo"

[TThorses7]

wow!gorgeous horse!! Amazing that he/she is unbroken to:o! how old is the horse?

[xxXmusic4everXx]

Wow What an amazingly beautiful horse!!! What's his/her name?' I havnt been riding since last summer! Aggh not having a horse is like- TERRIBLE I want one so badly my faverite is a buckskin coloring!!!

[brooke6016]

if its unbroken how did he have the bridle on and let a person jump on him from th ground ? but he is very pretty

[Mikeandwendy74]

Some people just don't get it. A horse has nothing but skin between your ass and its spine. Why do you think a saddle is designed to distribute pressure OFF the spine. You need to learn horse anatomy, you just don't get it...at least use a pad for christ sakes and have a shred of respect for your horse.

[SkoalFirePrincess]

@Mikeandwendy74 You've never ridden your horse bareback?

[Mikeandwendy74]

@SkoalFirePrincess sure I have but its better to have a pad to take some direct pressure off the horses spine IMO

[msLuvowlcity]

@Mikeandwendy74 Your annoying. I think that horses would rather have just a light girl on their backs rather than a huge,heavy sadde, and a girth squeezing their stomach,

[Mikeandwendy74]

@msLuvowlcity lol......not what I said....I said use a bareback pad to take direct pressure off the horses spine.....you probably don't even know what that is you ignoramus

[msLuvowlcity]

@Mikeandwendy74 I DO know what that is, and I agree with you SOMETIMES. Sometimes it is nice to just ridde freely. But I think that you are showing that you REALLY care for your horse, and I respect that.

[remedyfarm]

Excellent! It's obvious you put a lot of thought and care into your relationship. Stay on this track and you can do anything you wish with horses.

Beautiful horse

[Madaboutspirit]

ahhh i get it!! he has been sat on but its a first time jumping on him?? am i right : D he is sooooooo cute

[WesterntheRider]

His bit looks a little tight!

[FanofFun12]

[Koolkid123cool]

HES ADORABLE!! HEs like wth is on my back....! ohhhh human.

[Koolkid123cool]

HES ADORABLE!!

[AmyFleming02]

beautiful horse! and i love his color. and it looks like you are coming along very well with him! keep up the good work!! :D

[LucanLodge]

Yes, definitely unbroken @kerriemasseyx, certainly not drugged @hyperfocus2011. All the horses we break in are calm and confident - their attitude and acceptance to the training is the most important consideration in the early stages.

[kerriemasseyx]

erm,well behaved to say its 'unbroken?

[hyperfocus2011]

he looks drugged

[LucanLodge]

It was the first time vaulting on Cowgalify, not the first time backing :)

[Cowgalify]

Um, if you have NEVER gotten on him before then you should have started out more slowly, and getting him used to having your weight on his back and just start by leaning on him before getting to the point straight away. Just saying.

[LucanLodge]

He's about 16hh - but I used a handy mound to help me get all the way up there!

[13jessey19]

aww hes gorgeous, how tall?

[PonieGirls]

omg at first i was like ma he's going to have a spaz and end in disaster

[hyperfocus2011]

Bolonga!

[1philliph]

If she was vaulting onto me Id be trying my best to keep her there as well.

[Someeerrrr]

that's wayy coolieo that is a gorgeous horse i have a mare that is a kind of dark drown like a bay with black legs and black mane and tail with a star on her forehead and she's 9 years old and i put a saddle and a bit on her and i broke her in one day and now she's learnin to neck rein

[LucanLodge]

He's an Anglo - I love his big mane and forelock :-)

[SpiceGold101]
