heyy i ride @ chc chimes, and i just wanna say ur SUCH an amzing rider :). i love all the vids of u and lokie, i cant believe how well u can control him.. he looks like an ANGEL wen u ride him!! is he really that hard and crazy to ride?? i wanna ride him sooo badely but at the same time i dont wanna die:P. Do u think i would die if i rode him? i am 15, i have been riding for a long time.. i have lots of experience with insane, speedy, and lazy horses:P.
thanks! it took a very long time for me and loki to establish a good relationship .. because the thing about him (not so much any more, he's growing out of it) is that he likes to play dirty. he's got a hell of a spook in him and he loves barrelling towards jumps, stopping, and then leaping over them anyway. if you can laugh about it and dont mind eating dirt (i remember falling off four times in a lesson) he's quite fun. once we started to trust each other he was consistently good for me (:
haha thanks! he's actually the smoothest horse i've ever sat on .. also the laziest! so i had to really drive him forward with my seat cause he just wasn't listening to my leg, and i had forgotten my dressage whip at home -_- my seat is usually softer and more forgiving though since i'm used to riding really sensitive horses. :D
ugh i hate riding while im in pain..one time i had a really bad cramp..like from when you exercise..in my stomach/ribish area..and so i had to do everything really slow...and my instructor got pretty mad..and i was just trying to focus on not falling off. lol =/
ur really good! i love theh orse yall r good together! what breed is he? i love ur position and ur posting its good. how long have u been riding and what level rider are u? beginner (no way), advanced beginner (probably not), intermediate (possibly), advanced intermediate (probably), or advanced (likely), write back sorry for al the questions!
all we know about duke is that he's part belgian draft. i've been riding for five and a half years, and if i had to guess i'd say i'm an advanced rider--i teach other people how to ride and i spent most of this last year training green horses and bringing horses that haven't been ridden in a while back into work, not to mention i've gone through more training in so many different areas that i don't even want to think about it! LOL =]
i was riding her on a loose rein and she bolted as usual.. but her head actually came up so high that her neck was on a 90 degree angle from her back so i had no control whatsoever, so she managed to ditch me (in retrospect wearing my extremely slippery tall boots wasn't a genius move) and i ended up underneath her. the woman who owns her won't let me put a martingale on her because she 'doesn't need it' and gets pissed off if i dont ride with a loose rein.
unfortunately i don't, conveniently enough my mom didn't have the camera turned on when it happened. i was kind of disappointed, the first time i was actually injured from a fall and she didn't get it on camera LOL!
and thanks; duke is the smoothest horse of all time so it helped ^_^
heyy me again i just wanna say i sent u an email asking u about a couple of things, just incase u havnt checked just to let ya kno:P
