"advanced" lesson

Jan 30, 2011 15:14

Well if they knew how to control their horses.

EDIT: I forgot to mention how much I love the opening annotation. "Don't judge me because I'm judging you!" Nothing like a little hypocrisy to make my day.

One of my biggest pet peeves in riding is seeing people just let their horses get away with refusing......UGH

This. Can they steer AT ALL?! I mean come on. Those horses are being led to think that just going around the jump is teh right thing to do. >:(

jesus, and with some of the lamest refusals, too. (jumping a 17hh belgian mare who decides that she would rather go hang out with the herd, THAT is a refusal.) this is just laziness on the riders, because they don't bother to set up the horses for success. (I mean, aiming AT the jump, looking up, some steering maybe, and some (oh god) LEG!?!)
My peeve is people who don't bother to TRY and aim for the center of a jump, without a good technical reason, like a tight turn after or it you're in a timed course and it can shave off 0.5 of a second. But when you are in a "lesson" and you are jumping over crossrails, could you at least TRY and aim at the center of the jump? I don't care if you actually hit the center, but a little effort helps.

Lesson? What the hell kind of lesson is this? I think these girl just got their ponies and put a bunch of "jumps" and ground poles together randomly and said "let's make it look like a lesson!"

I'm not too sure what the purpose of the ground poles are since they aren't really spaced in any sort of way I can grasp.

And for christ sake...I hate it when people just SIT there while their horse runs out of a fence like "hmph. oh well."

Good find.

I was wondering what the poles were for. They really don't seem to be helping anything..

This actually popped up in my recommended videos. I was curious and it wound up here.

WTF is with the ground polls? I could understand if they were set up correctly to force the horse to trot but after the second cross? WTF?

I just don't even understand why people post things like this online..Why would you want people to watch your horses refusing jumps over and over??
