Thanks! I little Watership Down never hurt a rabbit hater.

Wait. What? I don’t hate rabbits at all. The rabbits are COLD: the owner is hurting the rabbits. I take back my compliment.

They are gaited horses, and it's pretty well known to people in the horse world, that people who ride gaited horses, are people who don't want to take the time to learn to ride the right way (I know someone is going to get butt hurt over that statement, but it's true).

I've been around horses, riding, showing, judging, training, and showing (Western, AQHA/APHA) ever since I could sit on a horse by myself (farm kid). The only reason I have a SSH is because my DH refuses to properly learn to "ride the trot" of our Quarter Horses, and started whining about how it's too hard. So, in the spirit of marital harmony (and she was cheaper than a divorce), I bought him a gaited horse to shut him up. I love her, she's a great horse, but they are not my first choice breed of horse because they are solely trail horses, not multi-purpose like a good QH.

Western riding is a master class in lower leg work because you communicate with your horse not only through the reins, but with leg pressure (NOT kicking). A squeeze of your calf muscle will make a good horse turn away from the squeeze - so a good rider will steer with their legs. You also use leg pressure to tell horses which "lead" leg you want them to lope with, or sidepass with, or cue them to move to open gates, and any other type of ranch work you need a partner for.

Now - to critique his "riding" - his stirrups are too long which is why he is off balance and bouncing all over the damn place, he's using way too long roping reins, which are generally only used for barrel racing, calf roping, and other timed rodeo events, and he's using them improperly. His hands should be equal distance on both sides of the reins, which they are not, mainly because he has the wrong size of reins, they are too long for that horse - so the horse is zig zagging all over the place in confusion - she doesn't know which way to go.

Ok, hang on. Idc what you say about Roy Moore, but don't bash Spotted Saddle Horses or their riders, if you don't (and clearly you don't) know a single thing about them. The SSH is an extremely versatile breed and mine have been capable of doing anything any other breed can do, they're just more comfortable and efficient as they do it! They were breed for endurance riding in the heat, for strength and durability on the trail, and a sane mind to top it all off. And if you're the kind of person who will stereotype and generalize by saying a whole discipline of riders "doesn't want to learn to ride properly" well, I guess that speaks to your ignorance as well. Don't bash a breed, if you know nothing about it.

Roy Moore, a bigot and alleged serial predator, rode a horse to the polls on Tuesday to cast his ballot in the Alabama Senate special election.

Soon after, Horse Twitter came for him.

What a yahoo. A sexual predator and a big fat phony baloney.

He was giving a. I'd to KKK who used to run people out on their horses.

This reads like an assessment of the current state of the U.S. government.

Appaerently, the ruling party thought it would be as easy as riding a horse.
