She doesn't mind jumping over the scarey jumps, it is going by them that she finds traumatizing. Her worst fear comes when a chair is on its side. That just isn't right to her. Some days are worse than others, I have stopped trying to understand it.Five O'Clock Somewherehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00764856841984160593noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1769599757981579429.post-87734488720748339982008-09-30T11:26:00.000-04:002008-09-30T11:26:00.000-04:00I wouldn't be an authority on whether dressage hor...I wouldn't be an authority on whether dressage horses are spookier. I think if they are it is probably from a combination like you mentioned of their training, turnout, and just their general treatment. I feel that all horses regardless of what discipline they participate in should experience all they can via cross-training,trail rides, a little light jumping etc. I feel a well rounded horse is not as spooky if they are exposed to more stimuli on a regular basis. Just my opinion.Grey Horse Mattershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05837575441967937196noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1769599757981579429.post-66075568081458894352008-09-30T09:42:00.000-04:002008-09-30T09:42:00.000-04:00Hi - I have just started horse riding but a few of...Hi - I have just started horse riding but a few of my friends have shows that they partake in in the UK, i must admit i agree with your summation of them :) even their specialist <A HREF="http://www.anythingequine.co.uk" REL="nofollow">equine wear</A> seems OTT in my opinion (although i know there is tradition in this!)<BR/><BR/>Armani is a lovely name by the way for your trusty steed!Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17225475527196524067noreply@blogger.com
