Bridle lameness (Zgellahmheit or ‘rein lameness’ in German) can be a mystifying phenomenon until correctly identified.
If your horse exhibits these traits during horseback riding instruction, he is trying to give you important information about how you use your reins, which only you can correct to make you both more comfortable.
What is Bridle Lameness?
A horse who is perfectly sound when grazing in the paddock or when put into a halter and exercised on a lunge line, who suddenly goes lame when put on the same lunge line wearing a bridle or when being ridden is referred to as “bridle lame”. This condition manifests itself by uneven head nodding, as if the horse had gone lame in one foreleg, and in very severe cases, the horse will appear to have suffered chronic back problems.

Due to the fact that today, nearly everyone has to be connected at all times, children rarely do activities with their brothers and sisters or moms and dads. Even with they do, they would rather text with their friends than talk to their loved ones about what’s going on in their lives.
An interactive adventure, like horseback riding lessons, is a wonderful, fun activity that can bring your loved ones together. Children won’t be sending texts to their friends if they are busy taking care of or riding on a horse, and you are certain to get your kids to open up more if you’re riding with them or performing necessary horse-related tasks together.

Barrel racing is an equestrian event during which a horse and rider endeavor to complete a cloverleaf pattern around three preset barrels in the quickest time. The barrels are set in a triangle in the center of the ground. The sport tests the combination of the horsemanship skills of the rider with the athletic ability of the horse.
It is among the fastest growing equestrian sports amongst women. It is usually an enormously rough sport on both the horse as well as the rider, so having the proper equipment is vital for the health of everyone involved.
