Never ceases to amaze me how these people that work and exercise their horses to absolutely peak condition but sit their fat unfit huge heavy butts in the saddle. Its honestly ridiculous and completely unfair to the horses, look honestly at some of the weight some of these horses, who are not huge horses, are expected to carry in extremely difficult competitions. If you can get your horses this fit, DO IT YOURSELF AS WELL. The horses give EVERYTHING for their riders so too should their riders do the same for them!!!

@Hello Tony how are you doing?

[@karben7296]

Would someone please tell me what is the point of sliding this horse to a stop? Cannot be good for their muscles and joints.

You’ll never know 😒

It simulates what they would do on a ranch working cows. The horses are specially bred to have extremely muscular hindquarters for quick stops and turns
