>>>sending you a few pics of me and few friends out horse riding this day we did 45 km route in a rainy weather,and all horses was fine when we come home and how many of us is under 85 kg package on horses bigger than 138cm!? But of course as you see we have loose horses to change with and we make a couple of good stops as we all need to eat (man& horse).<<<
Hi Malin, and thanks for the pictures! Great photography. We generally don't have extra horses, or take pony horses to trade off on the ride! Our circumstances, for the most part, don't allow for it. >>>let´s say barefoot riding I now every one here encourage it.... but I say more abuse I have never seen in my life when uneducated horse people thinking they are good NH -riders riding their poor arabic´s or ponies barefoot for one - two hour a day 5 days a week and they are so sore it make´s me cry.<<<< I agree; it's not good to ride if the horse needs shoes! I think that barefoot is good, but if you ride many miles per week, or have terrain that is not good for barefoot, it is more kind to the horse to use shoes or boots (the Simple Boot is supposedly liked by many). >>>>make the horse barefoot horse without considering the circumstances. Good point! >>>>8.5 head 8.0 tölt 8.0 neck& shoulders 8.0 trot 8.5 back and? 8.5 pace 8.5 proportions 8.0 galop 7.5 quality of legs (sinew´s) 8,5 willings & temprament 7,5 for straightness in legs 8.5 performance under rider 7.5 hoofs 8.0 walk 7.5 mane & tail 8.5 slow tolt 8.5 canter for building 7.96 gaits 8,26 overall 8.14 a pretty nice Combination in bloodlines I think.<<<< On the topic of legs, where would the score reflect the movement of the legs (i.e. rope walking, winging in, etc.)?
