Calypso under saddle!

• danastark Posted : 12/3/2012 4:26:52 AM This mare is so wonderful!  The only thing we have found that she needs work on is she is cinchy with a western saddle, was antsy yesterday, nipped Kelly today but otherwise, she is doing really well.  Kelly rode her in the arena today when one of my riding buddies was over working her mare in the arena and the neighbor boys were getting pony rides on Spirit and she didn't mind the activity at all.  Kelly started walking her over poles and she's got the idea to go forward   These are pictures from yesterday-       LIKE 9 REPLIES 1520 VIEWS LAST POST DANASTARK Like Share You have posted to a forum that requires a moderator to approve posts before they are publicly available.

• danastark Posted : 12/4/2012 2:31:39 PM It was funny, Kelly was walking along, leading the mare and dragging a cavaletti pole  The mare was giving it nervous sidelong glances but went along with it   Kelly's getting the idea about desensitizing now LIKE Like Share You have posted to a forum that requires a moderator to approve posts before they are publicly available.

• studeclunker Posted : 12/6/2012 6:13:06 AM She looks like a really sweet mare.   She'd look a lot better in English or Dressage tack though.  Never could reconcile Western Saddles with Arabs in my mind.  They just don't seem to work for me, visually anyway.   Glad to hear she's coming along so well.  Kelly sounds like quite a young lady.  Best of luck with them both.  LIKE Like Share You have posted to a forum that requires a moderator to approve posts before they are publicly available.

• hunterseat Posted : 12/6/2012 12:10:09 PM Endurance gear would be perfect! []   Oh but could you imagine a costume class with this girl? Better start looking for some kind of Arabian get-up!

• danastark Posted : 12/7/2012 12:45:58 AM We normally ride English and she didn't mind having that girth tightened up but minds Western.... we just put the western on her while ponying to see if she had any issues with the stirrups flopping or anything, nope, just the cinching   The less that covers her up, the better!   If we still have her when you come back from HI, you can give her a whirl, Hunter   Thanks, Stude.  Kelly is a really good kiddo   She is very calm and forgiving LIKE Like Share You have posted to a forum that requires a moderator to approve posts before they are publicly available.

• Durangogramma Posted : 12/8/2012 2:38:23 AM What kind of cinch is on the western saddle. Kabarr can't stand neoprene but is OK with mohair.

• danastark Posted : 12/9/2012 4:42:12 AM It's one of the soft mohair, I think?  The white, ropey kind with a leather piece in the middle?  She didn't mind the leather English girth.   LIKE Like Share You have posted to a forum that requires a moderator to approve posts before they are publicly available.
