    Hi, I think chino is lame in his hind end I don’t know which leg but it looks like he doesn’t want to step on it as much. Just an observation maybe look at him to see if he is actually or if that’s just how he walks.

    Laura, what's wrong with leasing Grey Finn instead of buying him?

    Gabbie’s knees may hurt when she rides because her stirrups are too short. I myself have arthritis (I’m 20) in my knees and cannot ride with short stirrups because of the pain. I am a hunter rider too but I keep my stirrups just a hole longer than most and I’ve never had a problem with them there

      I do personally think their coaches don’t help them adjust saddles properly , whenever Gabby rides and go to her post position , it’s looks like she way over the her horse more than she needs to be. More often times than not that through the horse off balance and it could attributing to some of Chino’s problems!

      I would have to agree with both of you. I would not blame anybody(not saying you were) because all would be needed is to educate proper saddle fit.

    Gabby should ride a hole lower on the flat. That will help her knees 100%. That is what helped me! I used to be like her and only want to ride with them short. Until I began dressage!

    I never understand how people can complain about the cold and then not wear something warm on their head? A warm beanie does so much! And something warm around the neck. Let me dress you for a long cold day in the Swedish mountains Laura and you’ll never be cold in that place. I don’t think you’d complain about that cold again to be honest haha once you’ve endured the cold we have here every day

    Fin definitely still has Head shaking syndrome. It's not just Sofies hands or a new bridle or a certain bit. He shook his head for like 2 mins and had to itch his nose on his leg, a tell tail sign his facial nerve is firing.

    • @chloe_the_belgian_warmbloo9523
      @chloe_the_belgian_warmbloo9523 3 года назад +26

      I agree. However, he rarely shakes when Elizabeth rides him, or when Julia rode him. A lot to it is Sophie’s hands

    • @Kimberlyk12
      @Kimberlyk12 3 года назад +10

      @@chloe_the_belgian_warmbloo9523 he shakes in a halter being led. Head shaking has more to do with random times it fires. And as in the case with holding a contact, that can sometimes act as how a nose net works, constant stimulus on the face such as holding a good contact. It might just be that sofie doesn't hold a consistent good contact. But no horse should be flipping their head that much on a loose rein as Fin does

      He's a young, jittery horse, he's gonna shake his head every now and then. It's cold and horses will 100% act up a bit. Also... it's normal for horses to itch their noses on their leg.. they have an itch girl.

    A problem that I realize with Sophie and Finn is that Sophia can’t balance Finn out. Why can’t Gabby lease grey Finn instead of buying him? I agree, I feel like during Christmas it is a day off or a few days off!!!! It is just a few days to have fun with your family and enjoy it. It snowed for a bit two days ago where I live. And we were driving away, the first time it snowed and it actually stuck to the ground I wasn’t there!!

    Just a bit of advice but I think Gabby and Sophie should have dressage lessons occasionally because dressage can help with jumping a lot more than you might think. It can also help you and your horse look a lot nicer in the show ring because in dressage you focus on the small things and not just the big things.

      They used to use a martingale. It did not work. He usually shakes it when someone uses their hands wrong. Bridle change and improving Sophie's hands helped alot. There may be a slight facial nerve thing going on, too, and gadgets won't fix that or the hands issue.

    Oh! Really annoying. I actually got a good ad and I didn't catch what it was an ad for, or a name. I have no idea how to find that because I caught zero info I could use to track it down. It was a horse ad. A riding lesson or something. Lady was instructing about keeping the bit still and getting the horse to move better by keeping the bit still and getting impulsion from behind the saddle. No one said who it was, or where it was. No obviously advertising words were said. The ad ended and a second one began before I noticed what was happening; I was listening to her and watching the horse, and bam. Next.
