you stay still or walking.
you start to canter
I stay still or walking
You start to canter in the indoor ring.
yes you can
Its ok if all the horses are not being ridden, but they will have to be ridden later.
either stay still or walk but not near the other horses as your horse may start napping NEVER start trotting or cantering while the other people are not on there horses.
It really depends on the individual horse. Some never adjust while others seem not to notice much at all. I have been to horse shows and have competed against one-eyed horses. And horses that have lost all sight can live long, happy lives if kept in a small enclosure. Many owners of blind horses will put a companion horse with the blind one as a 'seeing-eye horse.
It all depends on the breed and individual horse. We have horses with tails that reach the ground, we have other horses of the same breed with short little tails. It all depends.
yes or stay still
when not all horse riders are mounted or riding you can make you can stay still or walk.
The sole purpose of spurs is to act as a leg aid. For riders that have weak legs or horses that tend to be 'dead sided', spurs are a great way to communicate to your horse. Spurs in the wrong hands, however, can do great damage to the horse. Sharp edged spurs should never be used. Small, smooth spurs are all that is needed as an extension of the riders legs and heels.
AB 'Banjo' Paterson's Man From Snowy River was a famous poem based on the following: A valuable racing horse had escaped and joined the wild bush horses of the High Country in Australia. Many riders gathered at the station where the horse had escaped, and joined forces to go after the horse. Many experienced riders such as Harrison and Clancy also gathered but there was one very young man and his weedy horse. The man was told that he could not come on the quest to find the horse because he was young and inexperienced, and such a ride was only for the worthier riders. Only Clancy stood by his young friend saying that he and his horse were mountain bred and knew the hills well. The man and his horse were allowed to join all of the other riders. Once upon the mountains the group soon spotted the horses. The experienced riders tried to bring them around but lost them as they galloped over the mountain gorge. All of the riders then pulled their horses back as they watched the wild horses ride down the steep mountain - that is, all riders except for the man from Snowy River. He chased the group of horses down until they gave up. He brought them home with his small mountain pony. The movie was based on the poem, but with extra detail and embellishments. The high country of Australia was showcased beautifully, and the movie is well worth watching, if only for the scenery and the terrific horse chase towards the end.
