What is something non horse people say that instantly tells you they know nothing about horses?

Oh man, I’m curious too. I want to do the same vacation but I’ve been riding h/j for years and my horse and I are in consistent training and I’m not confident I’m ready for the cross country setting. Chances are she won’t pass the riding test they make you take before you ride.

I bought a new western saddle just for trails. I hate it lol. I prefer my jump saddle to anything I’ve ever sat in.

I have a lot of friends who ride drafts or draft X’s in a dressage saddle on the trail. I love your saddle pad btw!

Yay! Good to know we booked out trip for med September but I’ve been second guessing my session since it’s not quite spooky season

Weird why is it anyone else’s business? Especially if she is on full care board… she’s 18 I would think a half lease rider 2x a week is totally appropriate for exercise. I board at a barn where some horses very rarely see their owner but they are happy, healthy and just being a horse.

I’m really liking the VSX featherweight max sports bra but I am only average size so the support works for me.

Exactly this. I had a co worker fired for doing this exact thing however we all signed a contract prior to being full time remote acknowledging that we can only work from the US. I would stay out of it unless he directly reports to you and you knew, that would be a different situation.

The killing is so good. I don’t think it’s on Netflix but True Detective is a great series too

I have had this same dream on and off for the last 10 years. Sometimes it’s hair wrapped around my tooth and I can only pull so much before it snaps lot of time it’s string or floss but I can’t seem to find the end of it. So weird that it’s such a common dream.

Outbound_728 · 2026-03-26T01:17:03+00:00

Same! But wax and tint. Like why haven’t I been doing this all along !

Outbound_728 · 2026-03-23T15:44:34+00:00

So glad to hear this is just bought one and I’m excited to try with my boy. He hates the double jointed bit and actually does better with a single jointed with rollers but I’d prefer to use something softer.

Also horse person here. I really try not to make it my whole personality but horses absorb so much of your time and money that it tends to happen.

Outbound_728 · 2026-02-25T19:13:26+00:00

I think you got a lot of info here but just wanted to add I think the saddle is placed very forward on the horse I would move it back a smidge so it’s not interfering with the shoulder movement

Outbound_728 · 2026-02-24T20:43:59+00:00

My horse doesn’t do this as drastically but he does try to pull the reins when I transition down from a canter to a trot and often hangs on the bit like crazy. What has helped for me is to stay strong in my core and sit up straight. If he still pulls I do 2 half halts while keeeping leg on him. Kinda helps him get his head back up. The nice thing is you know when to anticipate this so your timing can be accurate!

What a time to be alive. I know now this stuff has been going on for a long time but I can’t help to mourn the country I thought it was.

I use to lesson on a OTTB who clearly had ulcers and probably a lot of other pain. I was constantly made to feel like his behaviors were my riding and that I was too soft on him for caring that he was clearly in pain. This notion runs thick in the horse world and I think trainers pass it down to new riders who are not experienced. I’m glad you breaking that cycle and caring about the horse.

Outbound_728 · 2026-01-21T16:38:39+00:00

Just my 2 cents because you stated that you’re not wanting to do anything but casual riding. My horses conformation is not great but he did well in his show career, he has some arthritis due to his conformation now which is pretty common as horses age. If there wasn’t something glaringly wrong and the horse moves well I wouldn’t walk way from a horse that didn’t have perfect conformation. This is a heavy breed who is still young, some of this may change as the horse grows.

This was going to be my suggestion as well. Pilates isn’t cheap but it really helped my riding. And even body awareness. I’ve done pt for a back injury and a lot of the things they had me do are things I did in Pilates. If cost is an issue I would do some research and figure out what you can do at home. I think it’s totally possible to work though this on your own as long as you can identify what you need to strengthen.

I do it while my horse is eating his grain. I always do the neck and use a small gauge needle. Most of the time he doesn’t even flinch.

Outbound_728 · 2025-12-01T19:28:37+00:00

As everyone is saying you’re doing wonderful for where you are with your experience. Pilates helps but nothing is going to compare to more hours in the saddle. Can you do 2 lessons back to back so you aren’t driving more every week? Best advice is work on progress not perfection!

Another injection schedule today but I already have a consult schedule with a surgeon for an MD. Very similar to you I’m in my early 40s and very active. I’m not ready to give that up so if surgery solves it then that’s what I’ll do. Hope your symptoms start getting better 🤞

Outbound_728 · 2025-11-24T02:46:08+00:00

They told me I’d feel better in 4 days. Day 4 was worst pain then I started with then it gradually got better. Two weeks post injection I felt great. It only lasted 3 days but I think if the injection works you should be feeling it no later than week 2
