otteventer: equine-fact: wikabee: equine-fact: withinyoursoul: why do i love this photo so much?!? I’m not positive, but is that blood on the horse’s mouth…!? Looks more like pink skin to me. Either way, don’t make shitty accusations like this unless you’re actually certain. Chestnut horses actually have gray/black skin… not white or pink skin. If you actually looked at the situation you can see a few things that are clearly wrong here. The rider has a hold on the reins that is causing constant pressure on the mouth. If there was no noseband on this horse, it’s mouth would be open. You can even see it’s tongue starting to stick out from the side because it’s trying to evade the bit, but can’t. So, that makes it an educated guess, not a ‘shitty accusation.’ Um actually unless you go xc you are making a shitty accusation bc you can’t judge the position. This person isn’t that bad they’re back slightly but you do like to stay behind your horse when running a xc course rather than get ahead and throw him off his distance. So by staying back you prevent him crashing into a solid object. And the horse looks 100% happy to be doing his job. This rider doesn’t look harsh at all and honestly it looks like pink foam…he could have had mint treats before the round. My mare gets that ALL THE TIME from my mom giving her cookies.And honestly I’ve seen more blood in horses mouths from accidentally biting their tongues than from riders hands and harsh bits. So just give it a rest equine-fact and stop unjustly attacking every photo u see.

Can you teach a person how to rise in the walk before you trot? o.O 
I CAN’T REMEMBER HOW TO DO IT. IT’S JUST NATURAL FOR ME NOW.
PFIHSNLKS CRIES. 

Have them learn to post at the walk a few times then short bursts at the trot. They need to learn balance at the walk first.
