In the Arab industry though, I see a lot of that, only without any reasoning behind it. Usually the legs are a mile off the horses sides. <br /><br />Are you going to be at the Scottsdale show next month?One Bad Pixiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04139395145674594659noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6053415389447235937.post-38903062415609999622011-01-26T11:30:14.165-08:002011-01-26T11:30:14.165-08:00As a general rule it pays to be suspicious of peop...As a general rule it pays to be suspicious of people who feel compelled to report everything they hear said about you. This behavior should have ended in junior high - high school at the latest. I agree that this guy sounds like a pot stirrer. Can't wait for the rest of the story.

In hindsight I could see how he makes that work for him. <br /><br />Pixie, Thanks for the input. Pics can be deceiving but if you look closely, My inside leg is on the horse and my outside leg is off him to open the door for him to lift his ribcage. His right front shows the motion as he is beginning to cross over as asked. I am lifting up with my hands because he is wearing a curb. The horse required more barrier to perform the resquested maneuver and that correction needs to be up and not back since it is a curb. <br /><br />With this particular horse it takes a lot of that kind of exercise to get him warmed up and going correctly. Most of my warm-up time with him consists of this lateral movement zig-zagging down the rail.Rising Rainbowhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04239592070775412669noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6053415389447235937.post-92201399221457236352011-01-26T09:39:56.508-08:002011-01-26T09:39:56.508-08:00I forgot to add- in the pic, you need to relax you...I forgot to add- in the pic, you need to relax your lower leg and let them hang next to the horses sides. Also drop your hands and let the horse go forward... <br /><br />I see and recognize this because these are the very same issues I deal with too. just trying to help.One Bad Pixiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04139395145674594659noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6053415389447235937.post-63640234255340730452011-01-26T09:33:48.651-08:002011-01-26T09:33:48.651-08:00Oh boy, I never trust people who seem to want to g...Oh boy, I never trust people who seem to want to get in the middle of family drama. Even my husband quickly learned not to go there-LOL.<br /><br />Of course, hind sight is always 20/20 and we know this ended badly.

You can train a horse and teach lessons without becoming overly involved in family drama. <br /><br />The whole "he said, she said" almost Always gets screwed up. Something is perceived differently than intended, things get lost in translation and before you know it- WHACK! Reality hits you all, right up side the head. <br /><br />Everyone has their own ideas about how things are, how they should be and what needs to change to influence that.

Hard to figure out his motives this early in the story. If he was really a friend he would have tried to get things straightened out between all of you instead of making it worse. Hindsight is always 20-20 though and there's no way you could see what he was doing.<br /><br />I agree with you by the way about GD and how she had to learn to take responsibility for the horses in her care.Grey Horse Mattershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05837575441967937196noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6053415389447235937.post-35829139135829922742011-01-25T18:28:59.716-08:002011-01-25T18:28:59.716-08:00Again, on the face of it ,it seems like it might h...Again, on the face of it ,it seems like it might have been good intentions.
