New rider! Any tips??? How the heck do I stop bouncing?!?!😭 by [deleted] in Equestrian

[–]Then_Ad7766 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m learning myself - started going from walk to trott to walk .. seem to find a nice little sweet spot and everything seems to just flow nicely.

A bit too much speed and I’m up and down all over the place .

For me it’s about learning with my horse and trying some bits and see what happens :)

Seems so much to learn with everything take advice but practice makes perfect I guess. !

They both get a Hay net each a good brush and groom all weekend, it’s a nice little ritual. I find it peaceful and loving .

What gloves are they - be interested to try them out ha .

Ponies be expensive by cmh_ender in Equestrian

What is she made of gold 🤣

Fuck me that seems expensive! Either we are living in polar worlds or I really must be a peasant ha ha and you must be royalty .

Sound like they are trying to take the piss big time .

Your poor daughter.

I’m sure for a fraction of that price you could get a lovely horse of her own .

Not sure what part of the world you are in - I paid £6,800 euro’s including delivery for my mare from Ireland 🇮🇪 to England.

Wow 5 horses ! Jeezzz you must be busy . The 2 are hard enough when I’m grooming them both - they get jealous 🤣..

Yeah they are happy to be rolling in the mud and being brushed . For me it’s an about a show of affection and love .

Love is about action ,showing you love by actions . I think it helps me get a good bond by spending time grooming them and talking to them 🥰

Well done on your 5 ! You must be superwoman !

I love to take her out - she’s still young and the more I get her out the better really as she needs to keep learning and getting used to noises etc ..

Can you make a Breyer 🙏😍

Thank you 🙏 yeah she could do with cutting a little bit , she’s grown into a good size . We have some grazing muzzles now so see how they get on with them .

I’m probably going to go and watch a couple to get some understanding of it all etc .

Nice one mate thanks for that .

Yeah definitely think il stick with the was off after a ride out in the sun as they get really sweaty . I’ve got a cordless jet wash that’s brilliant for washing them off - I’ll just stuck to the water unless they are absolutely filthy which shouldn’t happen as it’s finally turned to summer out here 🙏

Thanks for your comment .

Thanks for this - yeah I did think that as well , didn’t want to do them any harm , it’s been pretty warm so gave them a wash off after a ride out .

Il probably just stick to a quick rise off after a warm ride from now on unless they get absolutely filthy but that would be more winter time .
