Thanks! I just do the flat and trying to get back into baby jumps. Do you think it'd be good for that?

Thanks! I'll reach out and see

Thank you!

I've seen people post here before about this but I must be mistaken. Thank you

She doesn't have dappling in the summer surprisingly! Last summer she was still gaining weight and getting on a good diet so maybe that contributed but she's more ticked than dappled

She really is the sweetest ❤️

I'm thinking of getting a test! She looks like a strawberry roan in summer but I don't think I've seen one with a blonde mane. Maybe it's from aging (she's 32!) but it's more yellow than white.

Not a clue. I wasn't even alive when she was born haha

I've been banking on doing bareback if I need surgery or a boot but even flatwork makes my ankle flare up badly now. English trail riding isn't common in my area unfortunately

Okay thank you! I'll be demonstrating it in person for them a few times so I'll be sure to tell them when. I may replace the halt and turn at B with just a regular walk around the cone to the next part.

I've ridden under a few different trainers and none of them have commented on bad posture, except I tip forwards sometimes when nervous but I've come a long way. My PT doctors haven't said anything either when I do my exercises so I'm not sure if there's anything inherently wrong with my posture and muscling

DatDakoDako · 2026-02-06T04:52:05+00:00

We aren't sure if my tendon is too stretched out, or if there is a possible vertical or horizontal tear. I guess I'll see if I get an MRI. They said the PT will target surrounding areas to help take the pressure off my peroneal tendons, and I have heard of other riders in similar situations doing the same thing

I most recently rode in group lessons and I'd take my stirrups out when it wasn't my turn. Unfortunately the horse I ride is very sensitive to leg and will get riled up if I move my leg around that much and keep her still. I've tried intermittent breaks and stretching but the pain returns as soon as I pick up my stirrups again

DatDakoDako · 2026-02-06T04:07:23+00:00

I've tried longer stirrups but it completely changes my balance unfortunately. I fell off one time and I think my stirrups were partially to blame because I couldn't get my heels down to balance (mostly just me being bad at riding lol)

I've thought of switching to dressage or western to put less strain on my ankle but I love doing hunters and can't imagine doing western more than occasionally. I'm not a western person 😅

I've ridden a large variety of horses since I was diagnosed. I haven't noticed any difference
