Re: [RC] re: Was crooked horses and riders... now scales for balanced riding - Lori BertolucciWouldn't you need to make sure your scales are identical? Otherwise, if one would be thicker/higher than the other, you would naturally carry more weight on one than the other. At least, that is how it would seem to me... Just thinking out loud...

I posted in more of a "twisting" motion than an up-down motion, haha. My poor horse ;-) It didn't hurt, they just stopped working quite right at points during a ride. It was weird, and she probably thought I was some crazy person on her back. Didn't seem to phase her though... I also wanted to comment that I LOVE the scale idea. I need to try to do that sometime, but I know I ride crooked! Any suggestions for how to fix it? I already get paranoid enough thinking about trying to be more balanced, and I think it just makes me ride even MORE unbalanced. Also, in response to Mary's comment about using the horse's off diagonal to slow them down... I remember you telling me that back when I was riding Shiloh. It doesn't really work with Cheyenne, ha ha. I tried, but it bothers me more than her. She just keep trotting down the trail as if nothing were different! I WISH it worked, ha ha, would give my hands & arms a break sometimes ;-) -Michelle -- "Don't breed or buy while shelter animals die"
