I tried & tried to get a nice portrait of hashtag-youreit‘s Galahad, but he didn’t want to put his ears up. I finally get one with ears up & the light is all wonky. UGH I HATE PHOTOGRAPHY

Developing the Extended Gaits with Cindy Ishoy

An exercise for developing the extended trot is to alternate between shoulder-in and medium trot. Ride out of the corner in shoulder-in for 10-15 meters, then slowly straighten and push the horse into medium trot. After some strides in medium trot, collect back into shoulder-in before the corner. As the horse becomes stronger and more trained, several transitions between shoulder-in and medium trot can be fit into a single long side. The purpose of shoulder-in here is two-fold: it is a balancing movement, so it helps maintain or recover balance after the medium trot; it is also a lateral movement with flexion, so the rider is using the exercise, rather than strength, to bring the horse back.

Another exercise is to ride a short distance in extended trot, followed immediately by an 8 or 10 meter circle, then another short extended trot. This exercise can be ridden on the long side, quarter lines or diagonals. Can also use the centre line in order to circle either left or right. The circle makes the horse come back and rebalance on his hind end. As the horse becomes more highly trained, the transition can eventually go from passage to extended trot to passage. The passage encourages a longer moment of suspension, and (correctly used) it can improve the quality of the extended trot.

Developing Extended Canter: Use a 20-meter circle. Ask the horse for five to six strides of strong working canter on the circle, then five to six strides of collected canter, before asking again for a strong working canter. I will do the exercise for long enough that the horse is working hard, because the goal is not only to develop the extended canter, but also to develop the necessary strength in the hind end for collection. I like to use the circle because it makes the inside leg work harder, and it discourages the rider from pulling straight back in the downward transition. At the moment the rider collects the horse, the inside leg should drive to the outside rein, which resists only as much as necessary to get the response. The rider must remain straight on both seat bones and in the shoulders. The more equal on both sides you are as a rider, the better your horse will go.

Another exercise is to ask for a medium canter from the beginning of the long side, then ride a 20, 15 or 10-meter circle at the halfway point. The size of the circle is dependent on the horse’s level of training. The circle makes the horse collect without encouraging the rider to use a strong backward rein aid to achieve it. I will sometimes use the diagonal for this exercise with a horse that is advanced enough to do a 10-meter circle; I begin the diagonal in extended canter, ride a 10-meter circle, then continue the diagonal in extended canter. The exercise encourages the horse to take a more impressive, uphill canter stride. I always maintain a slight shoulder-in position as I come back to the collected canter. As the horse becomes stronger, I will add more than one circle on a single long line.

Horse: *jigs the entire trail ride*

Horse: *rears, spins, screams, and generally acts a fool*

Horse: *sees monsters everywhere and tries to let you know by killing you*

Horse: *cat walks the entire time so all you can hear is the sound of legs/boots hitting each other*

Horse: *refuses to walk home at all*

Me: I came out to have a good time and I'm honestly feeling so attacked right now.

I have googled my life away. I have read bible verses. I have studied the ohilosophical meaning behind the numbers. I have become a modern Gallup trying to ask people to help me figure this out. What the FUCK does it mean.

Is this some weird ‘one fish, two fish, red fish, blue fish’ math game? I don’t get it, I am just guessing based on numbers and colours. LOL. Like a toddler would do.

These riots in Baltimore are ridiculous. I can guarantee you that Freddie Gray’s family aren’t rioting in that streets—being destructive, looting, and whatnot. No, they’re grieving their son’s tragic death and fighting for justice. Real justice! Not this “I’m going to use this tragic death to justify my illegal actions” justice.
