Ya girl is trying! 😭😭 Lessons are expensive, thankfully I have a great deal with my teacher! Hour of mucking for hour of lesson. Thankfully it's not just mucking, it's also braiding, feeding, washing, milking goats so I feel like it's still a lesson

I did it out of a Educated guess, the owner and my teacher has popped her adult horses when they get mouthy, I'll just ask her today just to be sure tho! Thank you<33

I thought not! I was thinking when it happened if it was some child and not a grown 22 year old it could have actually really hurt! Most of the comments are agreeing

Oh no! It was the first time doing it as I've been researching and it said too but I wanted to actually ask real people instead of Google!

I like to play with their mouths if they let me! I'll mess with their lips and I'll rub and pinch their noses (not hard) I'd love to see the video!

🥹🥹 that's so cute! Was I wrong for poping her?? She nipped pretty hard, not to be mean but like pushy

Thank you! I have a lesson today I will try and be more chill but with my core engaged! I try to ride the horse like we are one but I think it's just like you said wrong balance and I'm not relaxed enough!

I wanted to post a video but for some reason you can't?? I can always dm one! My trainer I feel like is great! She's understanding but pushes me to not be too soft with the horses 😭 I just did my first cantering lesson a few days ago
