AHACO Walk/Trot Equitation Video

Nana and Dandy walk/trot eq


I'm sorry about the confusion on the videos. I checked them all when I uploaded them and thought I was ok with the length. I have deleted the original video I posted here and replaced it with one that is supposed to be still available on YouTube. Will try to see if I can figure out how to edit those that turned out to be too long. In the the meantime, I hope you enjoy watching Nana's ride on Dandy.

  4. Dandy is such a good boy, Nana is very fortunate!
    I think it was pretty odd the judge called for a reverse at the trot for this class, it looked like all went well, but that seemed pretty risky.

  5. Yes I do also find it strange that he asked for the reverse at the trot in this class but have to admit that I have seen it happening more often at shows I have attended, dont know if it is just a new "trend".

    I think the judge was telling her that her lower legs and therefore feeet were too far back, am I correct. That was the first thing I noticed when she entered, almost like she is leaning forward which is pushing her legs back? Not sure what the remedy is for this as there could be a number of causes (hindquarters higher than forequarters or saddle placed too far back so tilting forward? or maybe just her posture. She did a great job of the reverse although is it usual to turn into the wall? I am learning so much about my horses these past few weeks with Kendal riding April and showing BB and there are things that I never knew so would be nice to know if this is just used with the Arabians or if it an acceptable way to reverse at this gait.

    Dandy is such a good boy, he really is taking good care of her and if she just relaxes a bit I think it will all fall into place. Relax yeah right, you wouldnt be able to drag me into a show arena I would be kicking and screaming so she has far more guts than I do LOL.

    Sorry for all the questions, but I am trying to absorb as much as I can which will benefit us here too.

    BB took 1st in open halter (10 horses) and Grand Champion Halter Horse Overall at the 4H fair yesterday. I will be posting to my blog soon with pics.
