The lighting is super wonderful. I like that the horse and girl are actually in the middle of doing something, instead of just standing there posing.

Isn't this from Nevzorov Haute Ecole? I love that technique! I also love their stables! They are gorgeous! I plan on trying that whenever I get a horse!
This picture is gorgeous by the way! Beautiful!

I went to the NHE school for a couple of years so yes, essentially it is. But me and a lot of other people dropped out when they introduced a few new rules in.. I think it was 2007. I now reside on the AND forum. You should go there and learn as much as you can so you can work with your horse this way. It's amazing. Here is a link: [link]

me and my real horses love it as well!

EculyptusTree In reply to blackseagull [2010-01-26 19:22:17 +0000 UTC]

I love the idea, I just kind of got fed up about them being all like, NO SPORT HORSES and blah blah blah. I think if you use their techniques for good, like being easier and not pushing your competition horses, and using either a hackamore or a cordeo would be so much better. Also, I think you would have more fun and not fight your horse so much.

blackseagull In reply to EculyptusTree [2010-01-26 20:11:17 +0000 UTC]

I see your point. Is till don't approve of competing horses because caring for your horse and caring to win simply does not compute in the end.

👍: 0 ⏩: 1

EculyptusTree In reply to blackseagull [2010-01-26 20:54:41 +0000 UTC]

I don't compete to win. I just find the hustle and bustle of the showgrounds entertaining. And I do it for good fun. I mean, sure winning is fun, but it isn't everything. It's to show what you have worked so hard for. That your horse and yourself have become a team.

blackseagull In reply to EculyptusTree [2010-01-26 20:55:51 +0000 UTC]

oh ok. So you kind of just want the judging and appreciation for your work?

EculyptusTree In reply to blackseagull [2010-01-26 22:19:11 +0000 UTC]

I suppose so. And for the fun of it. I want to become a better rider, and if I worked hard to gain the trust of the horse and practiced hard, I would want show what I have done. Although, the horses well-being is always in my mind. I try to have fun with exercises and what not. I don't want the horse to be bored out of his mind.

life-d-sign [2010-01-25 23:32:08 +0000 UTC]

I like this very classic style, reminds me of the old baroque riding school books. It's a lovely insight into the daily life in your stables and I have to confess, as warm and inviting as it looks... I'm going to stand here and watch them for a while^^
