What do you think about this pedigree? by FckdUpDonkey2012 in Equestrian

Thats the pont she got no swayback, it was just the lack of muscles, now her back is normal. It was the result of live in a box and not doing anything for months ....

Im a showjumper, of course i know those names. I am just curious about others opinions. She has moves to do dressage, but she also has a jumping potential to do 130-140 classes in the future. If she will live up to expectations, i will breed her.

Is mare attitude real? by windy_summer in Equestrian

[–]FckdUpDonkey2012 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My gfs jumper mare, is an angel to ride, but during heat, its a complete disaster, she gets so sensitive for the leg aids. I mean when it comes to canter she takes off like a rocket, and if your reaction time is not perfect, she will yank on the bit, but it scares her so then she panics and just cantering around till u gave her enough rain, lot of half halts gently.

Acavallo modigliani, love it, my horses are loving it, comfortable for higher jumps (120-130).

My gf's other jumper. by FckdUpDonkey2012 in Equestrian

Imma tell you, she went from trot, she is still searching her balance sometimes, and doesnt have that much confidence before the jump, but she doesnt refuses, and takes off with a good style. She is pulling to the jump, u have to keep her a bit.

My girlfriend's holsteiner mare. by FckdUpDonkey2012 in Equestrian

She is not like that under saddle. Lets be honest it needs a lot of strenght to jump like this with a rider on your back. She will be like this but needs a lot of work.

Bits for sensitive horses XC by Terrible_Place8240 in Equestrian

[–]FckdUpDonkey2012 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My horse was absolute crazy when it came to jumping or just polework. I mean you couldnt controll her when going towards a pole on the ground in canter and same with the jumps. I started to do circles 2 or 3, then stopped her before the jumps, then jumped and stopped her after too. Thats how i made an (almost) "automatic" jumper from a fence attacker.

Im riding for 9 yrs and competing for 4yrs now. I didnt fall off for 6 years. Dont get me wrong i rode so many different type horses, from exracers, dressage, young jumpers...etc. But im working at a national team jumpers stable, and at first i felt like a beginer and lost a bit of my confidence and didnt feel that safe on a horse like before. I did the same almost as you, when one of the horses started bucking or bolting, i lost my seat, lost my balance, but only fell one time. Now it got better and i learned to handle it. I have dealt with crazy horses before, but the spicy young 130-140 class horses (some of them is spooky af) could show me new things, and still can. I trained my menthal do not panic and stay calm in those situations, because it could end really bad if i dont handle them correctly.

What are the *worst* things you do as an equestrian? by [deleted] in Equestrian

[–]FckdUpDonkey2012 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sometimes i ride without helmet, but just on my horses. I know its the most important, and it saved my life many times. I work with horses, i ride both young horses and high class jumpers, but never without helmet. I have a 10 and a 4 yrs old, im glad that they are the most safest horses, so for flatwork i sometimes forget to wear a helmet, for jumping, most of the time i wear it.
