I trying to decide if I need to buy some retractable ball point pens or maybe take up tap dancing, oh, I know… clicker training my dog, that is the trick.

If you are possibly referring to me, I deeply resent that accusation. I am a card carrying Swamp Team member, thank you very much; even if I were an alter troll I would not abuse the English language in that manner. Posting opinions with which you disagree in the Current Events forum does not negate my membership in COTHST.
Thank you.

Not at all! I haven’t been in the CE forum in a couple of weeks or so. If you’re making reasoned, thoughtful, well-supported arguments, I may disagree with you (or not), but you’re not a troll.
I was most assuredly referring to someone else, who I won’t name because I’d rather she not come back in here.

Ah, k, thank you. My ST reputation felt impugned!
I have been reading CE and the various fora for evah but have not posted. I started yesterday and made lots of new friends ha! and was accused of trolling, so I thought you were referring to me.
Of course now I wonder to whom you are referring >;->
Ta! (gives secret COTHST hand signal)

Agreed!
And Abby - I love your titles - although I am sure that Will and the HiCaliber folks would not agree…

Aw thanks! Hard earned and well deserved, she said modestly.
I live in Wills head for sure. If anyone wants Classical Foundation Word Salad just join the fb art2ride fans and followers group. The videos of “working gaits” and 101 Reasons Why Stretching Your Horse For Years Before Any Other Work Can Commence are invaluable!
( Art2riderites who lurk here, I didnt make another alter. I dont need to, there are so many others who communicate his goings on. A shame that Q is switching behind and humping in the corners though)
And here we have a demonstration of how to train a very green horse to stretch in to the contact.

Investigator Kogler, is this someone spoofing art2ride, or is the rider a true disciple?

What’s the beaver-tailed thing on the rider’s head?
And that poor horse is a case of laminitis waiting to happen.

Some kind of sun thing.
Yes, I agree. He wears the flash because he bites. He bites because he lived a pasture with other horses.
I wish I were making it up.
He made a little video about “dropped nosebands” as the horse was standing there in a flash…

But that is not about schooling… but being out of balance, bracing on the mouth…
We had a boarder up at the bigger barn a few years ago who was an Art2ride adherent - and loudly so.
Her saint of a grey TB gelding put up with her hands up by her chin, her bizarre leaning back and sort of scooting on the saddle and a myriad of other weirdness. She was finally asked to leave when she started haranguing other boarders about their riding and lack of knowledge about stretching - often when riding in the arena with others. She put a sign up sheet by the feed room door for a clinic she wanted to give… no one signed up and that infuriated her.
The morning she left, I felt badly for the grey as he started to set up into the trailer, looked back towards the barn and nickered softly to his friends. She moved from us to one of the more high end dressage barns in the area… was only there for 6 weeks… then moved on. God only knows where she is preaching now.
