I am 5'10 and weigh about 250 but I am losing weight so please don't judge me on that I do ride dressage and fox hunt so what type of horse do you think will work for me even after I lose weight right now I ride a stock quarter horse who can carry me just find but a lot of people say when we are standing still I look to tall.

So please help me I am saving up to buy my own horse and would like to know.

Also like I said don't judge me on my weight I am losing weight trying to get healthy I gained weight after my father died three years ago.

I know the basics on how to mount but my instructor is wanting me to mount by myself now. I am overweight but I'm also losing weight. So I know that you are supposed to balance out your weight the second you lift off the mounting block. But the last time I tried to mount by myself the saddle slipped and I fell and I haven't been able to get up from a low spot since. I can get up from a spot that is high enough that I can just swing my leg over.

So if you can help me please

P.S

Please don't comment about my weight my horse can carry me fine and I'm losing weight

I know synthetic boots are not always the best but I need tall boots soon the price is good but dover has no reviews so I can't say there bad or good

I hope they are good I know there all leather boots are

My horse was trained in Western but I ride her in English my trainer taught me to sit her trot because it is very smooth. I know how to post but why do it if you don't have to.

P.S.

I can sit her trot with out bouncing so I don't bounce in the saddle it is that smooth.

My schooling helmet brook an because my riding instructor has a lot of trail riders come out she suggested I get my own helmet so it doesn't brake I can keep it at my stable because she has a shelf for her students helmets so I don't have to take it back and for worth from the stables to home but it has to be under 70 dollars because I'm just a student and it needs to be good guilty I know you can find them for 50 dollars and I don't compete so I don't need the most expansive

I need my own helmet after someone broke my school helmet so are their any suggestion and has anyone used a frog tog how good do they work for riders

I am getting a horse who is a Flea bitten Gray color like this https://encrypted-tbn1.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:AN...

I might not get a horse I would just like to know

Ok I ride this one horse and she doesn't like people to really touch her face she lets me put my forehead on hers and hug her and touch her nose. My instructor says that if she asked this horse to do somethings that she would have gotten a buck but she hasn't bucked with me on her yet. so do you think she cares about me.

P.S.

When ever I get to the stables she starters whining and gets a glimmer in her eyes.

I'm six foot tall and two hundred pounds. Please don't comment about my wight I have lost wight and i don't want to be knocked down. But what is the best type of horse for me I should grow some more before i'm done growing.

I have been bucked before for no reason "the horse I ride dose that as you get better so it wasn't my fault" but I don't know how you can tell when they might buck to reinforce it with discipline in the saddle.

I ride this one horse and she is very hiper and stubborn I always feel like she might buck and i'm nervous that it will happen. A lot of people say to just stay calm but I can't and i'm fine when my instructor is on the ground but she teaches from on her horse and that makes me more and more nervous epically when my horse goes after her horse what can I do that might help.

I'm riding a new horse and she is very stubborn. The reason i'm riding her is because I was thrown and she fits me best. But i'm very nervous she is going to buck me she is usual good but yesterday she tried to bite at my instructors horse and then backed up suddenly and it freaked me out but on top of it she kept tensing up because my instructors husband decide to move rocks and it made a lot of noise and she also bolted out of the arena but that is just how she acts. Is there any way to get over my nerves.

I'm 6 foot and 200 pounds i'm only 12 so I can grow more soon and I'm not ready to buy a horse but I would just like to know

So thanks

I want to chang horses at my stables. What happened was I was thrown from the horse I usually ride but it wasn't my fault I was put on one of her other horses and I like riding her better she moves differently and she is bigger i'm 5'11 and i'm more comfortable on her so what should I say to her now that I want to change horse because I like the way this horse moves better,

P.S

The horse I want to ride has arthritis in her knee but she is a lot better now and she can bend it so what should I say to my instructor

I want to starter riding aging and i found this place do you think it is a good place to learn http://www.restorationranch.net/Restoration_Ranch/...

My instructor says that i'm not feeling my horse so she wants me to learn bareback for a little while but i'm a little nerves she says I can't go on a off property trail until a I get over my nerves is there any way to help get rid of my nerves
