All kinds of questions horse?
1. the degree of tension must be a martingale? how I can know if it is too tight or too loose? 2. requires a lot of energy to reach its full gallop! Ive tried to spur and help a little. was a growing and all he did was to see him and started going crazy. (Perhaps had been beaten before she arrived) thrust habit …. I tried everything … when i crack the whip to make it go away .. it's kicking me. Help?!?! 3. my horse is overweight http://i707.photobucket.com/albums/ww72/Curryrider/Horses058.jpg http://i707.photobucket.com/albums/ww72/Curryrider/Horses044.jpg 4. if so, How I can do to lose weight? 5. shes 12 .. I give joint supplements? she has not had any problems so far and she is not in pain 6. What are good colts? jump? between countries? barrel racing? Of course these pictures are towing years old and I am more grown up now, but my horse looks the same …. promise so I'm dumb … could u be a little more specific with the instructions to the martingale?
1.When your horse is holding her head level with his cross, the martingale should be long enough that when connected, you can put it in the throat. 2.Practice. Use the spurs, sitting, and much use of the leg. Use a crop behind the chair once or twice to pay attention. If you can not understand, find a coach help. 3. No, she looks wonderfully well kept:) 4. If you ever need to lose weight, cut back on their grain and ride. 5. No, if you're not riding hard, it should be fine. 6. Whatever. Just play with it and see what you like. You're young, try lots of different things before settling on a specific discipline (or not install at all – it all!) EDIT: Ok, so the martingale. Look at this picture http://www.thornhillusa.com/pic/220_martingale.JPG This looks a little bit on the short side me (but very close to correct. The best photo I could find). The reason is that the horse has its head about where it should be, but still pulled very tight martingle. You should be able to lift in the center and has the part goes from the chest to the nose almost touched his throat. The idea is not to restrict the movement of the horse, which is just to keep horse to get his head above the horizontal line slightly (the horse's nose should not go higher than your hands, otherwise it loses its function of control)
