Thanks for the great tips! I have recently been doing core training exercises which seem to be helping, and I plan on starting weights. But I will definitelt have to try long crest releases as well, see if they help- I always use short. Thanks for…

I know this problem well as this is something I've worked on for years! I think the problem for me stems from weak stomach muscles.But I have noticed that riders also tend to roach their backs over fences when they get left behind and they are…

Unfortunately, I don't know of a specific brand but if you try a major department store, they should be able to point you in the right direction. I think they may even have sports bras which hold your shoulders back. Its work a try, right? Good…

Thanks for the advice. I have been doing a fair amount of trotting poles which seems to help a little. I think I'm just going to have to focus on not slouching *ever*- at home, work, riding, etc. **sigh**

Cinch Magazine will be pursuing the 'Great Bitless Experiment' in the summer of '09 to determine, once and for all, the effectiveness of riding bitless versus bitted. Our study will include: well-broken horses, green horses, a nervous pony and starting a horse under saddle with the bitless bridle. We will be using a variety of different riders: adults, children, begginer to advanced. If the bitless experience works out for schooling, we will also try it in the competition ring!

Thank you Heather! If you could encourage any other horse enthusiasts in Ontario to complete the survey as well, that would be really great!
I'm working on a number of different projects that will hopefully benefit the equine industry in Ontario and your help is greatly appreciated!
Kind regards,
Bronwynne

Hi, thanks for the feedback on the survey - I checked question 15 and can't see any reason that it would block you from moving on in the survey.
If you could provide a few more details, that would be greatly appreciated!
thank you!
