Tips-to-Help-You-Strengthen-Your-Muscles-For-Riding&id=1061 General  When your involved in any sport or recreation you have to be in shape, in every sport you use different muscles and stretches different parts of your body. Even horseback riding requires this, any rider knows to be a good rider you must also be in shape and fit. I have researched and browsed the internet for exercises to help you become a fit and healthy person so you can be a great rider.

Horseback riding typically uses the shoulders, triceps, biceps, abdominals, inner and outer thighs and calves. You can use these exercises to help strengthen these muscles.

Western Horse Walk and Trot Western Horse Walk and Trot Western Horse Walk and Trot Western Horse Walk and Trot
Shows and Events Me and my horse Tequila would like to update you guys on our last show on 8/29/10. When we got there we had a little bit of trouble starting out, my horse got scared and accidentally kick me in the calf, "ouch", but everything after that went well.

In our first class Bare Back Walk/Trot we placed 1st out of 6, very exciting! After that we had about a 1 hour break because of the other classes, but after that we started out again with Western Horse Walk/Trot and placed 2nd out of 10!

How Well Do You Know Your Horse?

How-Well-Do-You-Know-Your-Horse&id=1211 Care and Grooming  Do you know your horse’s normal temperature, heart rate, and respiration rate? Do you know how to check them? Do you know all your horse’s normal bumps and lumps, so you know when there is a new one? Knowing what’s ‘normal’ for your horse, and keeping a record of your horse’s health will tell you when there is something wrong even if there aren’t any other signs. So how do you really get to know your horse?

Mustang Mouse's Story

Mustang-Mouses-Story&id=1215 Horse Stories  Ever since I can remember, like most little girls, I had always dreamed of owning a "wild mustang". I can remember telling my mom about my dreams after I would wake up in the morning, they were always the same: I had a wild, black mustang who lived in the woods by my house, we had all kinds of adventures and he was always saving me in some way or another. I was fortunate to almost always have access to horses of some form to ride and play with ever since I was three years old, but I never had my own until I was in high school, she was a pathetic, starved little filly that no one ever thought would be big enough for me to ride, needless to say, she was my first of many "diamonds in the rough".

3rd Ever Horse Show   30th Aug 2010
3rd Ever Horse Show 3rd Ever Horse Show 3rd Ever Horse Show 3rd Ever Horse Show
Shows and Events I had to get up at 6.00 AM Sunday morning to start getting ready for my 3rd ever horse show. At 7.00 AM I started to plait my pony for the first time, and though I thought it looked not really up to standard, my Mum, Dad and Aunty who came to help later on, thought it was pretty good for a first timer.

At 9.00 AM, when we had finished grooming and tacking up, I got up on my pony, Maddy, and rode down to the racecourse, which was about 15 minutes worth of walking/trotting. On the way, we met up with my friend Alice and her pony Koon, chatting as we went. When we got there, I rode over to where Aunty Von was waiting, dismounted and set off to pay for my classes. $32 for 7 classes + ground levy.

Retraining a Racehorse - Moonfire (Week 4)

Retraining-a-Racehorse--Moonfire-Week-4&id=1230 Horse Training  I began by free jumping Moony, working him until he was jumping decent height fences in good form and with loads of spring. We introduced a few spreads as well, and Moony popped over everything comfortably. Once I was satisfied that he was doing this well enough, I tacked him up and mounted. I started by giving Moony a short, light schooling session just to get him using himself and to make sure he hadn’t forgotten what he’d been taught. I also decided to work without stirrups to improve my own seat, and I decided it would be good to see how Moony reacted to having me constantly sitting.

Ruffian - The World's Greatest Filly

Ruffian--The-Worlds-Greatest-Filly&id=1055 Horse Stories  Ruffian went almost immediately into surgery. When the filly woke up, she though she was still running and thrashed around wildly. Even with all the attendents helping, they couldn't control Ruffian. She repeatedly hit her elbow with the heavy cast on her leg and shattered her elbow. Knowing that she wouldn't survive going into another surgery, she was humanly euthanized.

Ruffian's and Foolish Pleasure's match race was the last one ran in the United States. A movie was made about the great filly. Ruffian was buried at Belmont Park, her nose facing the finish line. She is the only horse that has ever been buried there.

Clyde-and-I&id=1028 Horse Stories  I had fallen head-first onto the terribly hard ground. My arms must have gone out in front of my head, my left arm taking the impact. My dad rushed over laughing, until I pulled myself out of the dirt and groaned in pain when I bent my left arm. Dad thought it was just a sprain, so I went with his oppinion, cradled my arm in my other arm, and picked up the broken reins Clyde had snapped when he stepped on them. One side was still attached so I used that as a lead rope, after telling Dad I could not get back on in this much pain. We walked about a third of the way back, and I was hurting so bad I had to let Dad walk Clyde back. Every step bumped my arm up and when it came down, a streak of excruciating pain shot through my elbow.

Barefoot

Barefoot&id=1220 Care and Grooming  There is an old belief heralded by many that leaving a horse free from domesticity would result in properly balanced and healthy hooves. In some cases that is true, but a recent study undertaken here in New Zealand has proved that it is not always up to the horse to have healthy hooves, but the environment.

New Zealand and Australian researchers followed the fortunes of a band of twenty Kaiamanawa feral horses. They used x-ray and digital photography to document their hooves and found almost all had foot abnormalities, even though they roamed free in the Desert Road area of the Waiouru Military Training Camp.

DS: I don't know how much you know about my country, but it is obviously very little. New Zealand has areas, such as the Kaimanawa Ranges, that are almost completely untouched by civilisation. It isn't the fault of humans that New Zealand is so wet a

Take-Care-of-your-Transport&id=1159 General  We’ve talked a bit about what your horse needs to travel safely, but what about your lorry or trailer? What can you do to make sure your transport is safe?

If you live in the UK, you might drive a lorry or truck, and if you like in the US chances are you use a trailer. With the exception of the engine and drive train maintenance that a lorry needs, what we’re going to talk about here applies to both lorries and trailers.

Im-Going-to-the-Championships-In-October&id=1216 Dressage  Although I love to jump I also do some dressage and recently I got 71.1 in my dressage test, makeing me first!

So I'm qualified for the championships in October against lots of adults on their big dressage horses, when I'm on a little strawberry roan pony named Solo. Solo is around 11.3- 12.2. I'm so scared, but I belive in my amazing pony because he put his heart and soul into our dressage test and I know he will do the same in the championship. I love him and we have total trust in each other through thick and thin. He is always their for me as I am for him. He may be small, but he has a big heart. I'm realy excited for the championships, Solo and me are training as hard as possible and hoping to do well.

Cribbing – Annoying, Destructive, and Dangerous!
by mosquito on 23rd Aug 2010

  views
Cribbing--Annoying-Destructive-and-Dangerous&id=1185 Care and Grooming  Why is it bad for the horse? First, it wears down the teeth unevenly, and determined cribbers can even break or chip their teeth. The force with which the horse inhales can draw in splinters of wood or other debris, which can become stuck in the horse’s mouth, throat or even lungs and cause infections or colic. The muscular stain of the sucking creates long-term damage to the horse’s diaphragm – and consequently its ability to breathe – as well s the muscles of the jaw and neck. It’s so bad that cribbing and windsucking are sometimes classified as an ‘unsoundness’ so much so that some major auction houses will allow buyers of expensive thoroughbred yearlings to return them if they are found to crib or windsuck.

The-Story-of-Cocoa&id=1209 Horse Stories  It was my turn to canter around the arena, and the second we took off, I felt a jolt, then a bounce, and then we were moving, but we weren’t cantering. I was bouncing around in the saddle, and Cocoa was literally hopping across the ground. When I had made it all the way around, my instructor said, “Umm she’s not doing so well, I’m going to go get mystery man. You should have seen her, her front legs were all spread out as she ran!” So I rode Mystery Man. Finally, Mrs. Bobbi explained what was wrong with Cocoa.

How-to-Make-a-Simple-Textured-Graphic&id=1196 Graphics  Making a simple textured graphic in Photoshop is not difficult when you know how to do it. In this tutorial I will outline the steps I use to make my textures.

In this tutorial, I won't use an actual texture. Instead I'm going to use a real background blurred using the Gaussian Blur. This technique gives a graphic a unique look very different from a regular texture but still very sophisticated.

Camp in the Snowy Mountains of Australia

Camp-in-the-Snowy-Mountains-of-Australia&id=1178 General  Earlier this year I was lucky enough to have the choice of going on one of four different camps this year for school, and luckily for me a week horse riding in the outback was an option. I am one of those people who has always loved horses but has never really had to opportunity to develop that love and to focus on it. I mean, I had lessons for a year but that was only ever once a fortnight and it just got too expensive, especially since I didn't have a horse of my own.

This camp was up in the Snowy Mountains in Victoria, Australia. Have any of you seen the movies Man From Snowy River or Return To Snowy River? These are classic Australian films and you are not a true horse lover until you have seen at least the first of these two movies. The camp I went on is essentially where these movies were shot. We even got to ride through a valley where a scene was shot and also saw where one of the most famous scenes was filmed (the downhill scene. Youtube it.) as well as learn some insider information about the film

At age 15, I believe I’m the youngest mod on the site, however I can’t be sure of that because I don’t go on Nokota or Pegasus! Besides that, I’m living proof that you can juggle Ponybox and high school successfully.
