Not to deep so your horse doesnt fall through so round about 2 inches deep
4 inches deep would be the minium coverage of sand needed for a horse area
It depends on the severity of the cut. If it is a deep cut, if it bleeds when the horse moves too much, or if the horse limps from the pain of it, then no, you should not ride the horse. However, if the horse doesn't limp because of it, if it doesn't bleed, and if it isn't very deep, then I think it should be OK to ride. Ask your vet to be safe.
To "go off the deep end" or to "jump off the deep end" means to act irrationally or to overreact. It is an analogy to the dangers of jumping into the deep end of a swimming pool without knowing how to swim.
Yes, hard soil also tires out the joints A horse should train in mixed soil
by diggging a deep jumping pothole and jumping out of it everytime and increasing it when required
Deep water
ahem(deep breath)........No. Actually, a horse can, and some do, live in forests.
yes, that is the correct way to ask a horse for canter in English riding and western both. to ask a horse for canter or lope, you sit deep in the saddle, use only outide leg and inside rein and if you ask right, your horse should canter.
Sum 41 - In too Deep?
Sit up straight and deep in the saddle so your weight is in the saddle gently sqeeze the reins(pull and release pressure )make sure you keep your legs on the horses sides but don't 'kick' your horse should respond you should also tell your horse with your voice.
From April Reeves, Horseman's U.com: a Jumper's or Hunter's bump is the result of strain to the ligament attachments of the lumbar and sacral vertebrae. It is obvious to the human eye as the top of the hip sticks out above the croup. The 'bump' occurs in the healing process, where scar tissue develops, enlarging that part of the joint. Over-use in jumping is the primary cause, but this problem can be found in other equine sports. Riding horses too young, either for jumping or often trail riding, where hills are used can create this condition. I have a practice of never jumping over 1'6" until the horse is 5. My motto is to keep my horses forever. Also, jumping over that height more than once a week can increase the chances. Don't forget, that in the training of jumping, there is more training on the ground and flat than over fences. "The quality of the horse on the ground is the quality of the horse in the air" (April Reeves). While the bump may be painful during the early stages, it often hardens into regular scar tissue. Whether it has a lasting effect on the horse is up to a vet, as outcomes vary. Most horses will find it increasingly difficult to jump during scar tissue development, and like any deep tissue wound, will possibly have some effect on the horse's ability and movement in the future.

A rider who has a balanced seat and good equitation should not have an issue if their horse trips unexpectedly. Good posture, a correct and deep seat with the heels down should keep the rider balanced even if the horse trips. If the horse trips badly and unbalances the rider significantly, the rider may brace themselves with a hand on the horses mane or the saddle horn (if riding western).
