Good for you. (I want to see pics on your blog)<BR/> I use bits in the winter for stopping power, but my horses tend to be "hot" and sassy this time of year. Its been too icy to ride much. We are riding now though! I rode Winter's Whisper yesterday, and I'm riding again today.<BR/> I do prefer geldings to mares, because they tend to be more "people" horses, are more affectionate, etc. Plus no mood swings! *wink*<BR/> I want to see a pic of your Warmblood. Awesome!glitzenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07408489334020626681noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1049802204606704817.post-18137467380159799402009-03-23T10:40:00.000-07:002009-03-23T10:40:00.000-07:00P.S.

I noticed you didn't use bits in your horses mouths...my instructor also doesn't use a bit when I ride...but now that I have 'quiet hands' wouldn't a bit give more control when we pick up a trot or canter? I'm still getting the feet cues down...inside leg pressure, outside leg pressure, release of pressure, using my seat to give a cue...it is such a fine science! :-)Denise K.https://www.blogger.com/profile/08024622351992408422noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1049802204606704817.post-33975502790710826662009-03-23T10:30:00.000-07:002009-03-23T10:30:00.000-07:00Beautiful pictures and such a peaceful yet hardwor...Beautiful pictures and such a peaceful yet hardworking day! I have never rode bareback but it sounds so refreshing...I get tired of "heels down" and this would be a nice way to just relax! I would have a hard time mounting though without a stirrup...another good reason to lose some weight! hee hee<BR/><BR/>Is it true you are not a true rider unless you fall or get bucked off 7 times??? Neither has happened to me, and as a beginner I almost hope it doesn't. I ride a big Dutch Warmblood and he is so gentle...your friend's horses look the same! Thanks for sharing your day...is it also true that mares are more difficult? Do you prefer geldings? Just curious on your philosophy! :-)Denise K.https://www.blogger.com/profile/08024622351992408422noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1049802204606704817.post-88925576826300719582009-03-22T21:24:00.000-07:002009-03-22T21:24:00.000-07:00Yay for them!
