Mounting and dismounting
Remember this hilarious video? Personally, I still remember the experience filmed on it. In general, it takes me ages to mount and dismount. My height -and other issues- probably prevent me from doing that fast, who knows. At least, I have found a way to dismount without landing on the horse’s hoof! I guess this is something! A new lady that I followed on Twitter has a lovely and very helpful channel on YouTube. I checked the upload list… et voila! One video about mounting and one about dismounting! Here we go: Thanks, Kacypony!!

Who’s up for some country fun? Strawberry Shortcake!
Hello! Tonight I became a kid again. Everything started while I was looking for trot videos. And then I stumbled upon an animation called in Greek “The Little Strawberry” and the specific part involved -guess what- horses! But the thing is, that I could only watch the first part of the episode. Looking further, I saw that the original animation is called “Strawberry Shortcake” and the episode I was looking for is called “Big Country Fun”. In “Big Country Fun” is about Strawberry Shortcake telling her pets stories with her friends in the countryside. OMG, look how easily someone can return to their childhood! I’ve gathered the whole episode for you from YouTube. Have fun!…

Getting to the canter
Last Wednesday Laura showed us how to canter. The problem is that, when the horse freaks out and canters itself, I am relaxed and enjoy the ride, but when I am asked by an instructor to get to the canter, I get panicked and lose balance. Tonight I decided to get over my fear and give a message to my subconscious that there’s nothing wrong with going faster with a horse, as far as I know what I’m doing. It’s been over a year since I began to ride, so I guess it’s about time! So, I started to watch videos which will help me understand this challenging -but amazing-…

Videos of Appaloosa horses
Two days ago I wrote about the Appaloosa breed. Here are some videos I found that you may like. The Appaloosa horses have actually a very nice movement and quite well-shaped, round body.
