hahaha so I went to Saratoga this summer for the Travers (met a bunch of jocks, Rachel Alexandra and my fave racehorse atm Custom for Carlos) and my friend took me to Racing Museum and I got to ride the EQUICIZER! hahaha

You have to properly suit up, good thing I was wearing my jod boots

So how's my "Jock" Equitation?

It was a lot harder then I thought it would be, major cramps in the glutes.

hahaha...yeah, I would imagine it would take some getting used to, to avoid those butt cramps...Lol!

You actually look pretty good, atleast from what I can tell

I think you need to stretch over the withers more with your upper body/hips. They are always a little more forward to help them balance on those HUGE strides. You look kinda like a steeplechaser but hey, I couldn't even get into that position let alone hold it long enough to get a picture!! So kudos to you and it looks like fun!

So much fun yea I tried crouching smaller but it really really really cramps your glutes! I give major props to all Jocks/Exercise Riders out there!

Your horse wasn't listening to you. His ears are forward and he looks a little stiff

Your right, he was very stiff and wouldn't pull up when I asked him to, know a good trainer I can send him to?

Go back to the basics. More ground work

Ahh really? I was really hoping to compete in the Derby this year. Oh well

Not all race horse trainers require the short stirrups. I galloped race ARABIANS in long stirrups. Those were such funny running horses. Not at all like the TB's.

I used to gallop in the mornings before I started my regular training. It was great exercise and money. Pikes Peak Meadows was half a mile from the farm I trained at.

I must say, I much preferred the TB's. The arab's ears kept going up my nose!!
