Hot Take for English Riders

direct rein and contact is overrated as hell. Do you know how gd pleasant it is to ride a horse trained to ride off the seat and indirect rein pressure? Why are we training dressage horses and show jumpers to lay into the bit and depend on us to hold their heads up? It's tiring and not good for them since tension in the bridle leads to stunted action in the hind limbs. If you actually trained them off clasical principles in the flat work and with the right jump exercises they will develop enough to learn how and when to supoort themselves.

Having a gd tug o war battle with your horse is bad horsemanship and will inevitably make them stronger in the bridle. Normalize treating the reins like side reins, picking one length that the horse can easily recieve slack in when the balance is good and only picking them up as a final touch to back your other aids up. The order of aids should be seat -> weight -> suporting leg -> driving leg -> supporting rein -> direct rein.

If you as the rider are working extra hard physically and mentally to get the horse obedient to your aids how do you think the horse feels?

Here's Venus demonstrating a moderately collected canter during a jumping exercise (withers are positioned above the apex of the hip with her haunches taking more than half the load of her weight through the movement)

Her poll is at the highest point but notice how the reins are slightly looped and her nose isnt pointed down. A horse being "on the bit" and collected or even correctly engaged is not the same thing. Because I'm not restricting her head and neck, her top line is freed up and she can step freely under herself and lift her back creating that straight line of the croup behind the saddle

Akhal teke stud submitter here -- looking through the "Akhal-Teke Lines" page on the newer version of the ATAA website, I noticed that a lot of the horses on the page have neck problems (ewe necked, undermuscled, etc). Would that be a sign of genetic issues regarding neck muscling, or just that the owners of a lot of those horses weren't doing whatever exercises/conditioning that help develop the neck? Thank you!

hey! So Teke's are generally super strange looking alien horses and it's not uncommon for them to have peculiar neck conformation.

Akhal Teke's are an extremely agile breed, and built very lean, for example you can compare them to a whippet, or greyhound.

Aliens: Wow you guys sure are completely normal and not at all indescribably horny.

NASA *beating the alien fuckers with a broom*: Yep. Just a completely normal species. no inappropriate lusting for extraterrestrial booty here, no sir.

As an asexual, I vibe with NASA on this one. It’s… a metaphor.

Someday you will find me Caught beneath the landslide In a champagne supernova in the sky

Champagne Supernova - Oasis _______________ I'm posting my PHM fanarts rather backwards haha but this was the first one I drew back in May right after I saw the movie and I remembered being overwhelmed with feelings after it was done. (I was also so happy they put my fav Oasis song in the PHM trailers, it suits the story so well T_T) It's been a long time since a movie has hit so many checkmarks for me in terms of story, themes, and the inner astronomy nerd in me. I've watched Ryan Gosling since his Notebook/Crazy Stupid Love days, but Drive was when I started to truly become a fan and he's honestly been on a generational run since then, PHM is no exception. __________ (Small/large prints are also available on my etsy ❤️)

I have no idea what to do with this, but wouldn't it be neat if Aang started doing all of his bending using the wrong style of bending? Just because he can?

Airbending? No, actually, it's humid in here. I used the water in the air :) nope, just manipulated the temperature with firebending. Common mistake! They look very similar!

Oh no, that wasn't earthbending. That was airbending. I'm basically just compressing the air! Sokka came up with that!

Avatar Aang comes in to give a bending demonstration, and immediately 60-year-old masters start gnawing the furniture because what do you MEAN that was waterbending!!! You made flames!!!? We've been studying this all our lives why would you come in and do this to us
