Hello, I would really appreciate opinions on this horse's front pasterns. To me, they look low (he does have feathers). Also, I posted a photo of him in the front. He is barefoot. This is a young horse I am traveling to see this weekend. I will do a PPE before purchase. If it's glaringly obvious to others his pasterns are low, I will probably just cancel the visit. Thank you so much for your time. https://preview.redd.it/6kh5jx8obpwc1.jpg?width=558&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=9e25c02d6b3607bbb88e84ca91e03a7b74c4d655 https://preview.redd.it/fdrwu4rpbpwc1.png?width=287&format=pn ..read more

If anyone wants to see a video of me riding I can send one via pm. submitted by /u/Content_Profile_6877 [visit reddit] [comments ..read more

I am an adult who got back into riding some years ago - I own my own horse and do h/j. While there’s a lot of muscle memory from when I rode as a kid, it is also pretty apparent that I never had “proper” training and am just learning a lot of stuff from scratch now, technique wise. One of those things is correct leg position and I am working really hard these days to obtain a quiet, stable lower leg. I feel like I am improving but man, are my legs shot after riding. Which led me to wonder: all of you really experienced and good riders in here: do your legs get tired too or is it mainly becaus ..read more
