Thank you! It felt more comfortable for sure- but I was driving myself crazy all afternoon second guessing my lengths.

Alright dumb question. How are my stirrups here? I got a different saddle and I’m riding in oxbows- used to ride in bells. And for the life of me I just can’t get them where I want them. A notch down feels too long but I feel more balanced in my seat. Here feels almost too short and I feel off balance in my hips. I’ve attached both pictures.

I can send you one the next time I ride- I’ve been riding her in a side pull- she did just have her teeth floated today  so will see if that helps with the bit. She would just refuse to take it. Didn’t like her mouth touched.  She did it again today with the side pull. She worked great on the ground- I put a sweat on her- When I got on she walked a few circles and then pinned her ears and kicked out. She’s only done this the last few rides. I haven’t really pushed her too hard- we’ve trotted some- and she had been really good with keeping her pace. I’ve got some other videos but none of her kicking out on me.

Happy to be a part of the community. I just recently branched out into training horses for clients. Looking forward to being a sponge and absorbing all I can! Currently have a 3 year old in that I’ve put roughly 35 rides on. Currently riding her in a side pull as she’s not a fan of the bit currently. Last ride she tried bucking for the first time so I’m thinking soreness? First time she’s ever offered.
