question the general public because reddit scares me LMAO and also i don't know many trans people irl and none of them ride horses

people who ride horses and use a binder (both traditional binder or transtape) how do you find it because i do not want to fuck around and find out. more in terms of falls and wearing a back protector at the same time (bc lets be honest those things aren't cozy). general riding/dressage i think it'd be alright but when it comes to jumping both cross country and sj, taking off, and landing, yk when your horse lands and you twist to look for the next fence?

maybe i'm over thinking it but i know exercising with a binder isn't recommended so i was just thinking how it'd go with riding. i'm especially interested with if you've ever fallen in one without a body protector and if that's fucked with your ribs

A pride knight in the making!

@prideknights do you need some members in your cavalry?

Nothing to see here just two happy boys hitting the trail! Thirty eight and I have built up a really good rapport on trail these past few weeks and I’m excited to see it pay off in the arena. He’s such a cool horse, I’m so grateful I have the opportunity to work with him!

Out on the trail today with my new love, .38 Special. I miss Jersey a lot but this guy is gorgeous and such a good mover. I hope I can lease him or a horse like him some day in the future, but for now I’ll be happy with my lessons and occasional trail rides.

we hit a new milestone on the trail today!

i asked him to try a new path and it went great. if anyone remembers my posts from years past, he has been extremely difficult for me to take off property so today was a massive step. he was super calm and willing, had a little anxiety in the new area but it was extremely manageable. it was really nice to see some of the work i’ve been doing to improve his confidence and emotional regulation in action.

our next ride i will probably take it easy since yesterday also had some challenges (he handled it perfectly but some of the people we encountered were being weird) but my next goal is going to be doing another mile or so up the trail. after that i am going to cool it on adding distance and just focus on fitness since the new route is steeper than what we normally do.
