#horses - #Arena footing discussion.

Arena footing discussion.

I'm a hunter/jumper rider and building a farm. After research I am finding subangular-angular sand particles are what you want to be looking for for arena sand..but I know many people with round river sand who are happy with it. I found concrete sand and quite like it, but am now finding information that it might be TOO coarse with not enough cracks/too sharp to bind well. I'm leaning toward concrete though. So much info! What kind of arena sand do you use & do you like it?

#horses - #Building confidence upon returning to riding?

Building confidence upon returning to riding?

I took riding lessons on full sized horses when I was little - about 5-7 years old. I also volunteered around the barn and worked around horses in a research setting during my time in college. Now that I've graduated, I've returned to lessons. My problem is this: now that I'm an adult, I'm fully cognizant in the danger involved here. I know a horse can easily overpower me and I've dodged a few horses who bolted in a paddock for one reason or another. I know that most horses wouldn't deliberately hurt me, but their size in combination with their nature as prey animals makes me nervous.

Today I had my first lesson on a sweet old gelding who was pretty short (and therefore low to the ground), and I felt like I was going to lose my balance while leaning forward as I tried to post (and then 2-point, because I don't have the leg strength to really post yet). It's worth noting that I have a higher center of gravity than most, as I stand at just over 5'9".

Being around horses as a big part of my life has been my dream since I was a toddler, and I love them and don't always feel nervous around them on the ground - it's mostly just when I'm around two or more horses that are close together, because I don't want to get caught in the middle of a squabble.

Any advice on building confidence/getting back into the swing of things or encouragement would be greatly appreciated! Thanks!

#horses - #Need help with horses lead changes please!!!

Need help with horses lead changes please!!!

Hi all,

I have a 16hh OTTB that I've been showing very successfully with in jumpers. We will occasionally show in hunter divisions, but we usually don't place very high because he does not have his flying changes. I usually try to land on the correct lead but it doesn't always happen. My horse is very well maintained and in good shape including his hocks so I don't think it's necessarily a mechanical deficiency on his part. I think he just doesn't know how and I'm not communicating effectively what I want him to do.

He supples nicely and I can get him to move away from my leg. He is also engaged on the hind end.

I will try to set him up coming off a diagonal. I canter into the corner moving him away from the inside leg while keeping him straight and when I ask for the change, I open the inside rein and bump him with my outside leg making sure not to lean in with my weight to the inside.

He will change the lead in front from this but not in the back. I've tapped him behind the girth a few times with a crop but it's gotten to the point where he is running out in anticipation.

Does anyone have any words of wisdom or advice for me? I'm so frustrated with this because he's a great horse and I know he can do it. We have gotten them successfully here and there but I want to have the skill down solid.

Any advice or exercises I can do to help I would totally appreciate! Someone please help us out!

Buying a horse sight unseen/at an auction

Wanted to know anybody's experience with buying a horse sight unseen and/or at an auction.

Did you buy from a well known auction or trader? Did you see a horse online and feel an instant connection? Was the horse as described? Or did it turn into a disaster?

Just curious of your stories.

#horses - #Bit question

Bit question

I ride English. My instructor recommended a single D ring snaffle. I bought a Korsteel thin d ring racing snaffle (single jointed). I opted for this one because it was much lighter than the others.

Is this a western bit!? Can I use this for eventing? Or just suck it up and get a D ring hunter bit? What makes a hunter d ring different than a "plain/regular" d ring? Am overwhelmed by all the types of single jointed D ring snaffles lol

My 6 year old OTTB came to me in a harsh Waterford. I tried him in an eggbutt snaffle (single jointed) and it was too mild :( He seems to have a small mouth and "thin skin" (delicate palate?)

Any bit tips?

Thanks in advance
