happpybear Posted October 11, 2016 Share Posted October 11, 2016 Yes, it def helps the bummy!! I also find that it helps open the hip joints. Your hips have to be quite flexible and open in order to properly sit the horse while cantering, and trotting. Aww, I miss riding!! Link to comment

It totally clears my head because if I don't absolutely focus on the situation at hand, bad things can happen! I miss riding, too. Link to comment
happpybear Posted October 11, 2016 Share Posted October 11, 2016 Yeah you're so right, you really have to focus and be confident, for the horse too. Riding really helped me build confidence in myself, because you have to be when you ride, otherwise the horse will pick up on it. Link to comment

luminousone Posted October 12, 2016 Share Posted October 12, 2016 Nr 5 indeed made me laugh! Nr 4 i wouldn't have thought! And nr 17..wow respect! That must have been a rough time! On n. 4- it is such a weird feeling, really. But I told my sister in law that I am really very immature for my age- always have been, lol. Something I could have added: I am a late bloomer. As far as n. 17- at the time of diagnosis, my husband had left our marriage. I was so devastated that the cancer diagnosis almost didn't phase me. I Was Numb already. Thank goodness for my friends, family, and some dedicated doctors (who were kind enough to hear my blubbering about the loss of my marriage) who got me though it all. Life is good now.

ParisPaulette Posted October 15, 2016 Share Posted October 15, 2016 Happy to see other horseback riders here. Although I never did English style, Western and bareback. And I won quite a few trophies in barrel racing events when I was in my early to mid-teens. I stopped doing rodeo events after witnessing mistreatment of some of the animals and getting on the wrong side of people over it. Now I just ride for pleasure and yes, can confirm, it gives one some great legs and backside. I love reading about everyone here. Seymore, you have had a massively interesting life. Eminem swore at you and an autograph? Lucky! Link to comment
imsuperman Posted October 15, 2016 Share Posted October 15, 2016 13. I wear the same size I wore 25 years ago. Impressive! That's awesome! Link to comment

But I have to watch myself because I don't usually neck-rein, and my hands can easily come up too high or take in more rein than is comfortable for the western horse (due to the shanks on the bit).

But I have to watch myself because I don't usually neck-rein, and my hands can easily come up too high or take in more rein than is comfortable for the western horse (due to the shanks on the bit). I tried western too, I also have issues with the reins, it's so different from English style. I also would tend to raise them to high or pull them in tighter than is necessary. When I left them loose I often felt like I lacked control, even though that's not the case. It was hard to get used too Link to comment
mylolita Posted March 28, 2017 Author Share Posted March 28, 2017 Just read back on this thread at everyone's facts - fab stuff - what talented people there are in ENA! Thanks to everyone who put themselves out there x Link to comment

I have a strange aversion to balled-up straw wrappers. They gross me out for some reason. 5. I have never tried a cigarette. 6. I don't watch TV. At all. Link to comment
KMO7970 Posted March 29, 2017 Share Posted March 29, 2017 7. I have been proposed to 3 times, but engaged only twice. 8. I am introverted, for the most part. 9. I love, love. LOVE jazz. 10. I don't think I've ever eaten a taco. It just doesn't sound at all appealing. 12. I have traveled to 5 of the 7 continents. 13. I tend to hang onto relationships WAY past their expiration date. 14. I have never seen Star Wars. 15. I'm horrible at any sport involving a ball...except bowling, which I love, but don't excel at. 16. I can still sing the entire McDonald's menu song that was on commercials in the 80s. 17. I am a third-generation American. 18. I'm allergic to cats. 19. I often feel invisible. 20. My favorite form of exercise these days is pole dance! Link to comment
