OMG YOU GUYZ i have just learnt how to embed video. i posted this yesterday & didn't think it worked for some reason, but beybladesabre managed to see it
( Read more... )
The link showed up, and I clicked on it yesterday, it didn't embed though. Photobucket has been being a giant CUNT with embedding videos lately, so in all honesty it probably was just photobucket and not you! I haven't been able to embed vids from there for the LONGEST time!! *shakes fist*
!!! there's a clicky thing on your LJ POST box that says "embed videos" and once i clicked that a dialogue box came up which i pasted the pbucket embed linky thing into and VOILA it worked.
Fack. I used to be able to just paste the link right into the body of the post, but then it randomly stopped working one day! Hmmm... Do you post in rich text or html?
yay for squeeze game over dodgy jumps. :-) I believe I have a video like that too, only Sage BREAKS the jump on the 3rd or 4rth time over, lol! I don't know if I ever posted it tho. Anyways

i was pissed & very BLAH. plus i had an audience, which takes some getting used to. i didn't notice the predator eyes at first, but now you point them out, i can see. i have to be really conscious of not doing them! i find i eyeball him at the slightest thing. ugh, my bad. and i felt i should have used a lot more energy from my guts because it seemed to just come from my arm - hence his ignoring it - there was no meaning behind it?
idk.
thanks for explaining the squeeze over a jump. very interesting.
audiences certainly *do* take getting used to, don't they? Parelli play days are helping me with that and I 'freeze' less often than I used to, but...still happens, esp. around non-parelli types that are really giving me the hairy eyeball to begin with

oooh, very helpful. petra told me (before i got broke & could afford lessons) that because bj is so sensitive if i keep working at it, he should respond just from very slight lifts of the rope etc. upon reflection i realise that i *really* worked at being able to do that during transitions in 'lunging' or circling game, but not so much in my daily parelli life. i also tend to have a fairly structured 'time' with him, so more sitting still & thinking with him nearby. i know that i cannot go & see him if i am at all worked up because he is *such* a mirror and will straightaway reflect what i'm feeling/thinking, so it's important for me to be as relaxed as possible. but i think chilling with him nearby & appreciating stillness will help a lot.
oh thanks! it's just a shirt from good samaritans (2ndhand clothing & other stuff) store. cost about $5. i think it's just a regular penguin polo shirt?
Wow, you guys move the rope a lot. Obviously, not being a Parelli student I don't really know what I'm seeing and I totally don't mean that as a judgement, just as an observation. I wonder what it would look like if I was trying to do that with the big Z. Probably a black hairy explosion followed by a careful and methodical dismantling of the jump, to judge by his current mood...
oh, i agree. i try not to move it so much, but as you saw he was running thru me a bit at the end. i should have put my foot down earlier with a lot more core energy, rather than just waving my arms about (which i was doing in the vid). that's what i reckon, at least.
beej has a history of running thru me so you often have to put A LOT of energy into the rope to remind him you're there. and we crabwalked across the arena for a long time too before we learnt about rope cues. when he was in beejyland he would just stick his head in the air and ignore the ground. hence me relying somewhat on the phases of pressure via the rope.
I use the rope quite a lot but I'll spin the tail of it rather than putting a wiggle down the line towards the horse.
It's pretty hard I think at our kind of level where we don't necessarily have that mastery of core energy that more experienced people do and so you end up having to do everything else bigger than you might want to.
