This is uncanny! That Kyra clinic made such a huge difference in my ride on my greenie today.

I just thought I would mention some options for doing forums:<br /><br />You might try looking at ning.com or proboards.com for free forums/social networks. Then you could just link to them from your blog.<br /><br />Or, you could pay to get your own domain and hosting, which isn't very much. If you went that route you could setup Wordpress and a forum on your own site and put advertising on it. This would be the route that I would go as it has the most potential.ConfoCritiquerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00757959795374789848noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4380534023229200743.post-70383330333532857572010-04-08T06:56:11.423-06:002010-04-08T06:56:11.423-06:00Interesting discussion.

The horse's weight is pushed onto his inside shoulder because of the rider, because he does not know how to balance on a circle/turn or both. Overuse of the inside rein will create this problem as will the rider leaning or collapsing to the inside. Kyra's description of the importance of the rider's elbows definitely comes to mind for this problem as does riding the horse's body. The horse needs to lift the inside of his body to bend and he cannot if the rider is pushing the inside down! <br />I agree with you, Mugs, on the round pen comment.Valhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07335385366138424092noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4380534023229200743.post-14703137279889866102010-04-07T15:32:31.803-06:002010-04-07T15:32:31.803-06:00Nice to have you back, Mugs!

Is it because of traditions? Can I get a better result if I try another way of doing it?<br />Wonderful. Thanks for sharing, as always.HorseOfCoursehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15907659164579327290noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4380534023229200743.post-90920061588999936132010-04-07T10:50:41.691-06:002010-04-07T10:50:41.691-06:00Thanks Beth, I'm on it!Thanks Beth, I'm on it!mugwumphttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00319060800328355056noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4380534023229200743.post-37703280698062295642010-04-07T10:34:03.026-06:002010-04-07T10:34:03.026-06:00I have not read your post yet, so no comment on th...I have not read your post yet, so no comment on that, but you asked about a discussion forum.
