So, I really do admire what they are doing by getting these horses started and adoptng them out... but this one... with the hands? I have NO IDEA what the rider is asking, and judging by the mare's mouth, neither does she. :s
I'm not a steller rider, I am still learning... I think my trainer would smack me with a yardstick for hands like that though.
Am I wrong?
(ETA: Added the not bad tag, thanks everyone for explaining to me why this isn't bad riding. It's always fun to snark, and believe me, I can be one snarky bitch, but at the end of the day I'm still basically a beginner and am always learning. Thanks for not bombarding me with "FAIL!" posts and actually explaining- I actually learned a lot!)
