Casually hides (I use spurs while racing) |

Ally, you’ll find all of that at your local riding school or amateur horse show too |

Hollow backs, gapping mouths, exagerated mouvements... spurs being awefully used yet they win the grand prixs |
Ashcroft Park Stud |
Min that’s so sweet, she was meant to be with you! And gosh, you’re living the dream buying land - I’m still working on that bit, just closing my eyes when I pay my livery bill for the moment. My theory is horses are cheaper than therapy, so they’re basically free |
Alpine Acres |
Peg I completely agree with that statement. I used to look after seven horses on a farm, and the owner ran a trail riding company and had worked with horses for 30 years. And yet she still abused her horses and was blinded by money making and her own ego :( |
Calela Eventing |
Statistically more top riders use excessive equipment incorrectly than correctly |
The Old Gods |
x) I'm sure some people would try to crucify me because I've used a mechanical hackamore before |
Pegasus Lane |
And not all trainers that have been around horses their entire life are good trainers |
Alsike Equestrian |
So all im saying is just crap? All top riders ride horses perfectly? All top riders are so nice to their horses? |
The Old Gods |
But I should point out that 'harsh' equipment isn't necessarily harsh. It depends heavily on how it's used. |
