June 15, 201016 yr Well that's an interesting question :thinking: They're trained to do so, and you have to come in front of the fence with the correct speed/orientation and "play" with your hands/legs I think Grace will explain that better actually :tongue: Motorcycles accidents are probably more frequent than horse riding ones I guess So you have to sort of encourage them to jump?, I've never tried obviously, I always thought it looked like they sort of do it naturally:confused:
June 15, 201016 yr I have two pets. One is a black mamba that roams around my living room, and my other pet is an adult female hyena that is always next to my fridge begging for meat.
June 15, 201016 yr I've always wondered with it how you get the horse to jump?. People always say motorcycles are more dangerous but I wonder if they are really, sure their much much faster but they will always do what you tell them! Well that's an interesting question :thinking: They're trained to do so, and you have to come in front of the fence with the correct speed/orientation and "play" with your hands/legs I think Grace will explain that better actually :tongue: Motorcycles accidents are probably more frequent than horse riding ones I guess So you have to sort of encourage them to jump?, I've never tried obviously, I always thought it looked like they sort of do it naturally:confused: OK so here's what I got, I'll try not to weird you out with all my horsey terminology :lol: Basically, to teach them to jump you just start off by guiding them over poles on the ground. And then you just gradually increase the height until they start jumping etc... they will almost always try a few times to "run out" or go around the jump but it's the rider's "job" to make sure that once we tell them to go over it they pretty much have to... but in saying that without being mean or bossy, just being firm... am I making sense??? :lol: Once they get the idea most horses love it :wacky: When you're riding a trained horse, like Perrine said, you need to be at the right speed/orientation for the particular type of jump, and the height - not too slow but certainly not too fast either. You pretty much get to a certain distance from the jump and then just make minor adjustments, as you don't want to distract the horse. /endspiel :freak: And yeah, I think motorbikes and horses are both quite dangerous, it's just that unlike the bikes horses can think for themselves :P
June 15, 201016 yr Thanks, I know a bit more about horses now:), yes their both dangerous but an enjoyable hobby too, maybe I will try riding a horse again one day, I love the sort of chestnut coloured ones they look so gorgeous.

June 24, 201015 yr FUUUUUUUUUUUUU Why did i come in this thread.... BIG SNAKE :bigcry: Snakes are really great animals, really inqusitive and friendly and inteligent. Also yes their generally well behaved unless mistreated which goes for any animal really.
