Description: Hey guys, OK, I am in a good mood today and have faith in humanity to be kind, so I reinstated the comment board and took down my harsh disclaimer. This is all with the hope that no one will be unnecessarily rude in their comments. This is my riding lesson on Jake at Spring Down Equestrian Center in Portola Valley, CA. Carol Goldstein's horses are amazing there and I definitely recommend it to anyone looking for a place to ride up north. I love horses and unfortunately don't get to ride very much anymore because of work, hence some of the rookie mistakes. I know I am not a perfect rider, but I LOVE horses and always treat them well. After seeing this video I realized my stirrups were too short, my heels weren't down enough and I hunch forward so please be kind and only add constructive comments. music by nelly furtado - maneater

nelsonreed ::: Favorites Aside from the equitation faults you've already acknowledged (stirrups, rounded shoulders), the balance and flow is very good. Minor position mistakes can be easily corrected, but "feel" is not so easily learned. And so nice to see someone that actually rewards their horse! That is my biggest pet peeve, when riders give out only punishment or silence, never praise. Those kinds of riders make sullen horses. 07-09-14 22:52:31 __________________________________________________
purpleponyprincess ::: Favorites I don't know why, but for some reason your stirups seem too short... I know your jumping, but. I dun know...Maybe it's just me. lol!! XD Work on keeping your lower leg still while cantering (I had a big problem with that for awhile!), and keep your heels down, always! lol Nice video! =) 07-09-14 17:16:27 __________________________________________________
EnglishPonyHolic ::: Favorites he looks lie he has a hard mouth but you have a really nice light contact either way. 07-09-14 16:32:55 __________________________________________________
karisma421 ::: Favorites Jake is an amazing quarter horse with a lot of speed but also has a really hard mouth. Thanks for the comments! 07-09-14 15:32:40 __________________________________________________
silvertonguedbard ::: Favorites You are a good rider. Some mistakes that I saw were: on the flat you did not always look up at where you were going. Sometimes you did, sometimes not. As you stated yourself your heels need to be down more. You had more of a dressage foot placement and heel. For huntseat the toe should be turned out slightly more than yours was. Yours was forward facing. You do have good balance and nice hands, good contact with your horses mouth. Your mount was relaxed and willing. Good job! 07-09-14 09:52:34 __________________________________________________
