“So if you are looking for a place to board where your horses are fed enough hay according to their weight and need as opposed to the owners hay bill (I personally got sic of buying additional hay because other places would only feed 1 flake per feeding), You like riding in a large dust free, dragged sand arena with lights for evening riding, and if you like being able to turn your horse out on grass, have your own tack room area, and want to be part of a community of boarders that look out for one another, then this is the place for you.”

Posting hands are pretty common. By that I mean hands and forearms that rise and fall with the rise and fall of the posting trot.nnThe way to get rid of that habit, to have hands that are quiet, is to think about letting your elbows bend slightly and softly, down as your body lifts, up as your body sinks.nnTry holding onto a neck strap of some sort that keeps your hands in one place and you will understand what your elbows must do to accommodate the steady hand position.nnPosting hands are not some end of the world affliction, but we don’t see them on the better riders, so there’s that---.
