Kate, to cue the ha...Thank you very much everyone.<br /><br />Kate, to cue the halt I lean back slightly and pull on the front of the saddle, and sometimes make a noise like the brakes squealing on a car, but that's more for comic effect!!!!!! I am SUCH a big kid!!!<br /><br />Muriel, I do worry a bit about the strain on her hocks and only practise it occasionally and always on good going. I think the fact that she's not bracing herself against it at all, as she's in charge of the way that she stops and it's all totally voluntary probably makes it less risky though. I hope so anyway.<br /><br />HorseofCourse and Jean, it definately is the best feeling in the world, having fun like that together. I am so privileged and lucky to have them.Helenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16636162286931270812noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2375897711497565846.post-47057137372202590252009-10-16T22:17:13.653+01:002009-10-16T22:17:13.653+01:00I just love to see you having a good time together...I just love to see you having a good time together with Grace, Helen!<br />It is the very best, isn't it?

But a little warning, it is very hard on the hocks, that is why my mare has osteoporosis in her hocks, and she was sliding with sliders : special shoes for sliding on well groomed sand arena.<br /><br />Sorry to put a cool shower on your fun :-(<br /><br />But i guess you might enjoy this video, forget about the tummy, he is a star. <br />The fun starts around 2'30", before he just speaks, very nice stop at 3 minutes.Murielhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05491691754938320621noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2375897711497565846.post-32025117499348330672009-10-14T01:11:38.318+01:002009-10-14T01:11:38.318+01:00Nice job.

What cue do you use to ask her to halt from the canter? I have a very forward Thoroughbred mare who would benefit from being able to do a reinless stop.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
