Actually, Arwen is the master of that, because she hates to stop. I've been on the horse behind her when that happens and let me tell you, it's not fun! But it does kill the myth of them not being able to poop while in action...Esther Garvihttp://esthergarvi.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2102014432675371300.post-89388464980559728892011-06-02T14:43:30.840-07:002011-06-02T14:43:30.840-07:00Wow the photos of your mare are great, she is a ve...Wow the photos of your mare are great, she is a very sweet horse, I am sure she was happy to have the day off with all that nice grass.Good to hear that you will finally have your saddle, riding bareback can be fun, but riding with a saddle is a lot more fun, and a lot more comfy. Nice job on the track, it looks like it would be a nice ride.<br />Regards<br />EdwardEdwardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01147322172866367128noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2102014432675371300.post-74925987681395248292011-06-02T08:11:27.155-07:002011-06-02T08:11:27.155-07:00Lytha

The "Brittish Cardio tracker" dude I ride with has a booming voice, and that too impedes stealth!(makes folks think there are more than me though!)<br />The beads would get in my way too..I use all manner of around the neck leathers too. I think they have a single hangin beaded/belled "strand" that attaches to the mane. may look into that!<br /><br />Well, these particulare lands are not managed or looked after at all. I am not sure how long we'll have them to ride in..but there are no motorised folk to contend with...just us riders.<br /><br />C~<br />I think the purpose of the beads is in the name...for the "RHYTHEM" of them while the horse moves, it become a soothing thing and can make a nice pace match for them...sometime when I wish Wa to get a rhythem, I count out loud... "ONE-TWO" real breathy and light and she settles quicker into that exact rhythem.<br />--HAHA The color of the horse eh! Crack me up..i'll ask my sissy about that one-she had two greys - One percheron/TB and another grey TBallhorsestuffhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05301081722884351021noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2102014432675371300.post-18725567290713209062011-06-02T01:27:20.719-07:002011-06-02T01:27:20.719-07:00The beaded necklaces for the horses are wonderful....The beaded necklaces for the horses are wonderful. I've never seen them here, but perhaps they are more of a Western riding thing and our Dutch 'cowboys' and 'cowgirls' do know about them. Do they have a purpose or are they just for decoration?<br /><br />Our Willem usually poops twice when hubs rides him in the arena. And since we want to keep the sand clean, we make a point of removing the poo. So I'm all for Poopin'Stopin'. Much easier to clean up. Naloma never poops during our rides. If you watch show jumping competitions, you'll notice that nearly all grey horses poop before they start their round. It can't be a coincidence. It must be the colour of the horse ;-)Carolinahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09288856854422999687noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2102014432675371300.post-59024682061752645892011-06-02T00:10:17.330-07:002011-06-02T00:10:17.330-07:00we have the same philosophy about poop on the trai...we have the same philosophy about poop on the trail - it is just more polite to hikers to keep the horse moving because it breaks down much faster. <br /><br />i hope your jumps last a long time for your and others' enjoyment! i could never do that kind of work here because the trails are all maintained by the forest rangers and personalizing them (with jumps or bras!) doesn't fly.<br /><br />i always wanted some rhythm beads but i just don't think they look as good with a breastcollar too. also i think they might impede my tendency to tresspass...lythahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01719586193059362084noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2102014432675371300.post-39291163286010997222011-06-01T18:29:10.162-07:002011-06-01T18:29:10.162-07:00woo hoo!!

Can't wait to hear about your first ride. I too would like to know how Cavallo resolved your boot issue...<br /><br />Does Wa mare eat grass <i>while</i> she's lying down?
