Then you add in the rest of the performance classes- some with their own associations altogether (reining & cutting come to mind) and you can end up with a mile high pile of rulebooks. Some are the same- others contradict and it could easliy lead to some confusion.<br /><br />Vaquro Girl- A link to the video perhaps? I will go look for it.

Terrified horses in an arena can get into lots of trouble. <br /><br />The gray horse sounds like something of a diva. In pleasure classes the rules won't allow a horse not to be ridden into the arena. Seems odd the jumpers would get away with that, but who knows, I'm not up on jumper rules because it's been a long time since I worked a horse show that had hunter classes and when I did, I wasn't the manager so I didn't need to know the rules for each class.Rising Rainbowhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04239592070775412669noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3843857563961192340.post-91900567528569122022011-03-10T13:10:17.385-07:002011-03-10T13:10:17.385-07:00Rising Rainbow- To me it looked like the horse nev...Rising Rainbow- To me it looked like the horse never stood a chance on that jump. She took off, but didn't much leave the ground and sorta crashed over and thru it instead. It was near the wall in the Equidome and as the horse landed she ended up with her legs up against the wall as if cast. She did struggle a bit which is how she was able to finally push away from the wall, get up and headed off right towards me. I just reached out to grab the reins as she went by and quietly said whoa. Everyone was ok and hooray for soft arena footing!<br /><br />I forgot to mention in my post about the last horse, the gray. He is an Arab/Andalusian cross and when they bring him in for a class, they have to lead him into the arena, shut the gate, then mount up. Once he has completed the course- he expects his cookie before leaving the arena. He is a bold jumper though and fun to watch.Cut-N-Jumphttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10355349642284506192noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3843857563961192340.post-11445051149140114812011-03-09T16:40:52.227-07:002011-03-09T16:40:52.227-07:00I did not see the wreck.

I always hate when a horse goes down doing anything but fences make me doubly squeemish for some reason.<br /><br />I'm so glad you guys got to meet. That is very cool. <br /><br />I like to rinse horses that are shedding too when I can. The hair comes off so much easier and the horses seem to appreciate it too.Rising Rainbowhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04239592070775412669noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3843857563961192340.post-59702007719227005192011-03-09T03:54:42.320-07:002011-03-09T03:54:42.320-07:00How cool is that?!

Not a good look for anyone. The red hair is a bit of a give-away isn't it? <br /><br />BEC's I am planning on getting Mondo going over at least some low crossrails too. He may not make it as a Grand Prix horse, but he can at least learn how to go over them! <br /><br />Chicks had jump cups for $1.99 a while back. Yeah, I bought a few... There are also free instructions for jump standards online.Cut-N-Jumphttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10355349642284506192noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3843857563961192340.post-72774850939712397672011-03-07T21:23:57.822-07:002011-03-07T21:23:57.822-07:00That video was well timed.

It's supposed to be rainy, snowy here tomorrow (fingers crossed it misses us yet again) so I dug out my jump building books and will start on my cavallettis. I am determined to have at least one horse this year that is started on fences. I just know that bay horse that is going to the trainer at the end of the month will be an awesome English horse. Don't know what my brother is going to think about that-LOL. Not sure he is going to appreciate me turning his future heading horse into a jumping horse.<br /><br />Awesome you got to meet fern in person. Yea, I'm guessing picking you and your girls out of a crowd isn't real difficult...LOL.BrownEyed Cowgirlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03610547057139295854noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3843857563961192340.post-38499192820652854212011-03-07T17:50:16.950-07:002011-03-07T17:50:16.950-07:00What a pair we are! hard to find a pic with both o...What a pair we are! hard to find a pic with both of us smiling (never make it as a model this kid!)
