fixing a reining mare

Hey, I'm currently leasing this QH mare who used to compete in reining competitions. She's had an...interesting history. Her previous owner was the kind of guy who could hop on an unbroke horse and…Continue

Ok, so I would really appreciate it if anyone who has wrangler jeans would help me out a bit here. At the moment, it seems Wrangler Jeans have become a kind of dress code at my stable, my instructor…Continue

to me a walk jog and lope is a slower, lower way of trotting and cantering, if your bouncing while sitting you should be posting which is a trot, same aspect for cantering, I would consider a slower way of going a lope, then an extension would be a…

Hi Zoi,
"What exactly is a hip-in excersize? I assume you w/t/c in a circle while pushing her hip in towards the center of the circle? sounds like a good idea, if that's what you mean."
f.y.i. I'm a reiner/western rider so I…
A_Sassy_Temptation replied to Zoi Smutz-Gee's discussion 'fixing a reining mare'
a hip in exercise would be as easy as getting her to move her hip out and around her shoulder at a stand still, getting her to cross over her back legs, another after that can be half passing, then moving from a stand still to a walk, then trot, and…

Thanks so much, I think you're right on a lot of points. I'm going to be looking into whether she's sore and it's a definate possibility. It could be that she lopes fairly slow, but nowhere near WP slow. It's a…
Zoi Smutz-Gee replied to Zoi Smutz-Gee's discussion 'fixing a reining mare'
That's so much for your advice, Come to think of it, it's a definate possibility that her stifles are sore. She stops really hard and I don't ask her to slide or anything because she doesn't have plates on at the moment, but even…
Reinersue replied to Zoi Smutz-Gee's discussion 'fixing a reining mare'
Hi Zoi,
I have some suggestions.
"1 - she's ring sour...but I'd prefer to try to get her to get over her fear". I would give her a different job in the ring. Any horse really sour on showing one event (ie. reining) will not be so…
A_Sassy_Temptation replied to Zoi Smutz-Gee's discussion 'fixing a reining mare'
first thing first, get her checked out by a vet, and chiropracter, get those teeth done and make sure nothing is out to make her avoid your aids. You do not want to punish a horse for doing something when they are trying to show you they…
Zoi Smutz-Gee commented on angelea @ HorseGirlTV's video
I ride at a reining stable where their horses work at lessons once their done their reining career and they live well into their 20s and 30s with no arthritis or even lameness 19/20 times. That's like saying yoga is bad for you. Reining, when…
fixing a reining mare
Hey, I'm currently leasing this QH mare who used to compete in reining competitions. She's had an...interesting history. Her previous owner was the kind of guy who could hop on an unbroke horse and make it do what he wanted. He did this with her, giving her minimal foundation training and even less reining training but somehow managed to win money on her. From what i heard, he had a strong leg and a good seat and that was all he needed. I'm riding her now, and trying to ride her as a reining…See More

Zoi Smutz-Gee replied to Mary H's discussion 'How do I tame a blast-o-canter? and bucking?'
Assuming you've checked for pain, worked on speed training, worked on balance, tried suppling excersizes and mastered "whoa"...and he is still doing this blast-0-canter thing, could it be that you're pushing with your seat or not…
It's crunch time cuz that cow (horse) is gonna spin before Gaetan get here. Trying to get a job at a saddlery, wish me luck!

sheena replied to Zoi Smutz-Gee's discussion 'Western Show Shirts'
Zoi, what level of showing will you be doing? At schooling or local shows, you can easily wear a clean, pressed, western button down shirt. You want to look clean and polished but you don't have to be blinged out. If you moved up to a regular…
Karen Dallimore replied to Zoi Smutz-Gee's discussion 'Western Show Shirts'
I'm not a fan of bling - I heard a judge once comment that it should be outlawed and I would tend to agree. What matters most though is the time and effort that go into the outfit and overall presentation, regardless of the colour. I showed at…
