standing

Hi everyone! I've been the proud owner of a new 14hh tank of a pony since November, and his ground manners were dreadful at home, but have been slowly progressing. Then we go to a new place, and suddenly I'm the one getting ran over and glared at because my horse is so herd-bound and insecure...

One of the first things I was asked to work upon where I ride was to stand up in the stirrups, I still focus on it in each lesson even today... I'm told to grip with my knees as I rise up but I find that really hard to do while trying to find my balance! How should I correctly stand up in the...

Hello everybody, I had always dreamed of being able to have my horse stand on his hind feet while I'm on his back. Funnily enough, my horse was being very stubborn and refused to move forward and I insisted. My friend was taking a photo when suddenly my horse decided to stand and luckily he...
