I don't think this is hard at all if the person is teachable and is in a good program. However, this person sounds defensive and I suspect would not really have it in him to be humble enough to improve, and/or wants to blame others. There are many fundamentals that are easy to integrate, there is a...

Being Pollyanna isn't going to help. The situation on the ground is what it is.

Mr. Horse Problems Australia is an expert trainer.

Tsavo

Tsavo, you know what I really like about Mr.Hp? He seems to really support his wife and loves her. Yes absolutely. I think they have saved many horses from slaughter. They have demonstrated how poor riding can really lame a horse. Unfortunately the problem of poor riding skills is harder to solve t...

Tsavo

I think the comment about freer shoulder is pure genius if it is substantiated. Very clever response. I think we need someone like Clayton to measure that. Otherwise it is spit-balling.

Tsavo

I agree that the selection of Marzog is curious.

Tsavo

Okay apparently Mrs. Horse Problems Australia is not just an FEI rider but a GP trainer.

Next.

Tsavo

I love their website. And I love typing out "Mrs. Horse Problems Australia" as many times in a post as possible. Mr. Horse Problems Australia refers to his wife as "Mrs. HP" so I take the cue from there.

Tsavo

I agree they both can ride both sides of the horse.

Tsavo

If Gigolo was the most decorated horse of his time, why was Marzog voted best dressage horse of the (same) century?

Tsavo

Mrs. Horse Problems Australia is an FEI rider.

Tsavo

Thanks Tanga for your input. She is 5 and will be 6 next year. She is schooling second, jumps a bit, and still hasn't popped a splint so that is some evidence the bench knees are very mild. Her legs are completely clean despite the work. I told the owner will will buy her. I have seen enough such th...

Tsavo

He was not concerned about that.

Tsavo

[ It just keeps getting more bizarre. :shock: What bothers me is the group is permitted to call the victim names like narcissist/sociopath/psychopath and accuse her of things they don't know for sure she did. The mods apparently condone this. Yet, there have been people banned for just tiny little ...

Tsavo

I don't know what happened but I just learned Barisone rode a horse named Jeff the Chef which is a pure genius name.

Tsavo

You guys have lovely pets!

Tsavo

I have rescue rodents. Presently I have 4 male pigs (Matt, Sam, Dave, and Casper) and two chinchillas (Squirrel and Chip). I also have my three grandbuns (Frosty a neutered male, and Kiwi who is Lemon's Mom) at the moment because they evacuated ahead of the hurricane. They are all rescues. I am spoi...

Tsavo

Yes I see that and I do refer to draft crosses as "poor man's WB" but I think people would be taken aback if this horse was advertised as a WB. She was advertised as some sort of section or something aligned with DWB. Had I not been previously told she was a 1/4 clyde I never would have lo...

Tsavo

So as I mentioned I sent everything to my vet and he responded about the mare...

"The conformational faults mentioned are very common in warm bloods and do not look or sound extreme."

I don't think this mare is a WB. She is a draft cross.

Tsavo

Chisamba, do you have mirrors? When Olympic riders are clearly still relying on mirrors, nobody should be beating themselves up about riding issues.

Tsavo

This is a super weird video and sounds like someone was upset with the score they got. Often, the C judge will score a bit higher because things can be hidden from the judge. The side judges have a much better vantage point in terms of seeing movements. For instance, that circle - the horse kept lo...

Tsavo

Thanks for that, Chisamba. I sent everything to my vet for comment.

Tsavo

The reason I thought the lowest one was correct is because sometimes only one judge can see a mistake. The other one can't physically see it so marks higher. That's the reason they have multiple judges; if you could see everything from one place then they would have one judge or they would seat mult...

Tsavo

This is Mrs. Horse Problems Australia.

Isn't it known that judges can only see certain things from certain vantage points? Isn't this just optics? In that case the lowest mark is the correct one, yes?

Toe-in has a 50% prevalence in SWBs. Hmmmm. Here is another one that surprised me... prevalence of navicular in Hanovarians - 21.7% Hmmmm. Prevalence of sidebone in heavy draft horses - 95%.

Tsavo

Apparently 60% of SWBs have bench knees. Hmmmm.

Tsavo

I didn't say Flight couldn't learn from other ammies. I am just saying she has accomplished more than 95+% of non-wealthy ammies and that leaves very little to apologize for.

Tsavo

The vet estimated her weight at 1600 pounds. LOL

She is 3/4 DWB, 1/4 Clyde. Would have preferred that 3/4 to be TB. If I buy her she is going on a diet. Double lol.

If I might... you are so far ahead of the ammy curve in your accomplishments that i don't think anyone here can criticize you. You are in the elite ammy group for sure. Six sigma.

Tsavo

Thanks for these responses. The mare does not paddle. We have stifle rads. We have 48 rads. I thought he was going to shoot 24 and then he decided to do 4 more for knees after he saw the conformation. So I thought it would be 28. I think I may have misunderstood what he was saying but whatever they ...

The mare did really well during the PPE. Sound and healthy. A few issues... On the fronts bilaterally, he writes, "She toes in slightly at the fetlock and the cannon bone is offset laterally from the carpus. She has good range of motion in the fetlock and shoulder but a 10% decrease in end rang...

Tsavo

They ADMIT they had no controls... On a critical note, no controls were incorporated in this study, making the findings potentially speculative, in that one could argue that corrective changes in balance may well have occurred over time without any form of intervention. Also, I think there is an iss...

I didn't see this in the scientific article. They had a good design if you ask me.

They documented ping ponging.

Tsavo

Would have LOVED LOVED LOVED to see them use a Lameness Locator.

Tsavo

There seems to be a data selection issue also. Very curious.

Best regards for your nephew, Chisamba.

MC, thanks for posting the article. I will need to take some time to review the article.

Tsavo

I think if they had a control group that were put in training with an FEI trainer the conclusions might be different.

Tsavo

This is very interesting. I wonder about the following: 1. how long the new-found symmetry in the muscle activity measurements lasts after the treatment ends with their ammy riders 2. does the measured muscle activity actually relate to correct movement/strengthening of the weak limb or is it due to...

Tsavo

My goals are:

1. the mare passes the PPE
2. I go see her
3. I love her
4. I ship her here
5. we live happily ever after.

The goal for my boy is he grows some hoof wall that came off when the abscess defect got low enough on the hoof.

Tsavo

I think I need to add that broken line upward should not be equated with the Légéreté crowd. These things are not related. I am talking elite riders none of whom are Légéreté except Karl. I haven't seen anyone do this, but please share of photos of what you are seeing then we can evaluate. Print a ...

Tsavo

Just to be clear, my point was the most successful riders ride with a broken line upward as a way of life not in a moment. Thus anyone else who is doing that is doing nothing wrong in terms of being effective and successful. The equitation books need re-writing based on empirical evidence in hand. I...
