Queens Cavalry- Last one next week

[newforest]

Anyone watch? It's a six part series and tonight was the recruits first day.

Who noticed the first canter without stirrups and the amount of riders who went plop. Good leg positions though.

What channel is it on?

Think it's been on before - is it the one where the recruits get bawled out for " unauthorised dismounts" when they fall off?

No I didn't notice anyone getting shouted at.
One horse bucked them off.

I watched it. Yes rather funny when they were all taking a tumble. Apparently some had only starting riding a few weeks before!

Did anyone notice they shaved their horses muzzles? Is that a 'thing' now? I was taught as a kid that you shouldn't do that - is that info old hat now?

They do a lot of old fashioned things still. It's seen as the finishing touches. People do this in the show ring.
They looked to be removing the sensitive areas around the eyes as well.

I was thinking, when the one that was nervous about falling off fell off, years ago I had an instructor who always said " If you think you're going to fall off, you probably will" - you just knew that guy was going to hit the deck!

What the programme from last week? That's great I wondered if it would be.
It's on tonight here so someone may put up for you to catch up.

The interesting thing for me was I thought canter was easier to sit than trot. We didn't see how many fell off trotting in fairness and if you can't ride and haven't studied the movements you won't be prepared for a rocking horse motion.

Saying that I nearly fell off in a dressage lesson riding the instructors horse! He had a really bouncy canter and one stirrup went, then the second, then I slid and hung on. Horse was a saint and stopped- those darlings looked less forgiving.

I think its from 2015

 

[horseandgoatmom]

Its interesting that like the RCMP most have nevst been on a horse

Ive never understood the reasoning behind that?

I believe it's so they don't bring their bad habits? They learn to ride with what they are taught.
When I learnt to ride I was sadly taught kick to go, pull to stop. It's so so hard to unlearn that.
Some people I know still think you grip with your knees.
