How do you keep your heels down? I am doing heel stretches daily and I can keep them down in w/t/c but when I go to 2 point they come right up. Any suggestions?

When you jump or go into two point try to keep your toes pointing forward and the inside of your calf in contact with the horses side! When your toes are pointed out the only thing you have to grip with is your heel which is why your heel goes up and it looks like your toes are down lol ?try it and see if it makes a difference! Make sure to get pictures too

(Con't) And I have told her that if she doesn't want my help she need to get a trainer but she won't even do that and I'm so stuck on what to do without ruining our friendship.

If she really doesn't want your help and you tried your best just let it go and let her make her own mistakes and figure things out for herself! At least you know you tried your best but some people can't take advice from others and you can't let it get to you!

I need some advise on a friend who just got her first horse and she is a very beginner rider and super green about dealing with horse. I've tried to help but she takes it like I think she doesn't know anything but really I'm just trying to keep her safe bc is to the point that it's unsafe (con't)

How much did Ralph cost and what state was he in (like green or knew ground work and stuff). I'm looking for a warmblood but honestly have no idea what's a reasonable price for a greeny ?

Just look around and get the best bang for your buck! Grab a professional or bring your coach/knowledgable horse person along while you shop too!

OMG DONT EVER USE QUEST GEL AGAIN! A horse at my barn got so incredibly sick from it and coliced really bad.. Thankfully she didn't have to be put down but it almost killed one of our horses!!

The wormer? I've used it a couple times now and he wasn't affected at all! It's unfortunate that all horses aren't affected the same way by things :(

I had a show today and the judge told me I was really stiff in like my lower back, hips and arms. Do you have any tips on how to fix this?

Oh hmm maybe just try shaking out your body before you ride and stretch out and relax to help you not be so stiff

Do you thinking having 1000 subs after a year of YouTube is good or do you think That's slow progress? What do you think it is that makes certain channels so successful other than just "good videos". I know several channels that make good videos that only have 1000 subs.

I think so! Just be yourself! :) it's not all about the followers

You will buy another horse? P.S Ralph is so cute, I really want a horse, but I can't have one. I really like the riding videos you make. Good luck at competition! I hope to be like you in one day!!!♥♥♥♥

Haha i would love to but i'm soon to be a broke university student lol thanks ?

I recently got back to riding after being off for 8 months. I'm placed in the highest group and obviously the teaching style is different than my old barn. Since I was off I definitely lost some skill etc. I can't even canter without stirrups anymore. What should I do? actually considering quitting.

Just roll with it! Be honest that your skills wont be the exact same but with a little work you'll get there and its truly like riding a bike it'll all come back really soon
