Again with the harsh contact AND harsh hands

Yes...my sweeties...close your eyes and pray. Hopefully your torture will be over soon. Not every human rides this way. Maybe you'll be sold to someone that knows something about equitation.

Frigging Idiots

When it's icy around here, no one rides. We all know better.

They have allowed one fall on the video...I wonder how many aren't shown. The torque this puts on the legs from those ice studs is absolutely incredible.

Yes, frigging idiots....

Sore back anyone???

These horses both look like they are at the end of their ropes. Too much loin sitting perhaps?

Weighty Feet

Hello....look a little lower. I see you have your riding jods on...I hope you intend to trim his feet appropriately before you go for a ride. Oh...but I bet those long feet give him some lift though don't they. The words "mechanical founder" come to mind.

But I have an idea, if you put quarter boots or bell boots on him ...his feet won't appear as long. Then when people see you riding they won't think you're a total idiot...or perhaps trying to follow any BIG LICK practices.

And again....another noseband

Jesus Christ! Tie that noseband around your arm that tight for five minutes and see how long you last.

Here's the link to the original pic. Does anyone notice the tight noseband...nope...they all comment on what a wonderful picture it is. Have I suddenly woken up on Mars?

Here we go again...

Yes...lets strap that bit down nice and tight... Does this horse look like he's enjoying himself? If you look close enough you can see where the bit rings are digging into the side of his mouth. Poor poor horse..

and then we have a cantle-sitter with harsh hands!
