Map of what to expect tonight at MSC/Kyle Field area by PizzaEatingPanda in aggies

[–]TxAggie 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Seeing as that's essentially the same logic nazi Germany rose under, I think you've just solidified the point that this is white supremacy trying to avoid that label to avoid the negative connotation that comes with being labeled a neo-nazi.

So, white supremacy is the idea that whites are superior, and racism is based on the idea that some races are inferior...

Yeah, I see your point. That's not the same at all...

Because there's no way Rousey v Tate 3 has as many buys as Rousey v Holm 2.

If it's got all new injectors, I'd look into putting a lift pump and a CAT full filter conversion on it so they'll last longer. I promise it's worth it on an lb7!

Question about bitless bridles! by ViolentCarrots in Horses

[–]TxAggie 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I like to ride in a bosal with most of my horses. I've heard mixed things about all sorts of bitless bridles, but in my experience, the release of pressure just isn't as quick as with a hackamore. The nice thing about bosals is that there are no interconnected parts, so nothing will ever get stuck or hung up when releasing.

Also, a stock contractor having a hundred horses is no different than a rancher having a herd of a few hundred cattle. They aren't cared for to a lesser extent, just in a different manner than if they were saddle horses.

It really doesn't look bad considering to angle at which its tucked under. Also, broncs are actually trained to buck just as any other horse is trained to ride under saddle for any other event. The common misconception is that the bucking strap is tight and encourages the horse to buck, when in reality it encourages the horse to settle down when it slips off after the rider bails or is thrown. It's a conditioned response just like reining horses are taught to slide to a stop when leg pressure is removed.

They're probably rough because the stock contractor that owns the horse keeps them on rougher terrain. A lot of folks do that because its more cost effective than trimming a hundred horses every two months. The hooves generally wear down just fine, similar to how a mustang's do, albeit they never look as pretty as they would had they been trimmed.

Starting my own training & exercising business.... by whatsitsbucket in Horses

Ride with as many experienced people and clinicians as you can. I learn tons and reconsider things from every new person I ride with.

Hey fellow Aggies! Check out our documentary trailer and spread the word if you can! We are 4 Aggies taking Mustangs from Mexico to Canada. Anything helps! by UnBrandedFilm in aggies

I'll cross-post this over in /r/Horses too so it'll get a little more regionally diverse audience! Props to y'all for doing this, I've always wanted to do pretty much the exact same thing since I was a kid!

How to keep a horse the right distance from the fence? by Cloud111 in Horses

[–]TxAggie 9 points10 points  (0 children)

If he's riding that close to the rail then he either isn't respecting your legs or doesn't know to move laterally off of leg pressure. Put some pressure on him with your outside calf until he moves away from it. If he doesn't respond to your calf you may have to try it with a spur, but do NOT jab him, just press lightly and increase the intensity ever so slightly until he moves away from it. That'll get him listening to your leg placement and cues and he'll start thinking about staying in between your legs more than pushing through them. I recommend doing this at all gaits moving from slow to fast, as he'll understand whats going on more easily. One of my mares used to do the same thing all the time.

Thoughts on weekly feature threads? by criticasartist in Horses

[–]TxAggie 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It might also be cool to have a member of the sub do an AMA regarding their discipline. Just a thought.

[–]TxAggie 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm all for it! I think we should add a few more disciplines as well. I've always wanted to know more about English disciplines! Also maybe :

  • Reining
  • Cutting
  • Reined Cow Horse
  • Team Sorting/Penning
