I have the anxiety breathing exercise as one of my goals in the morning and today I did the breathing exercise 4 times and it isn’t marking the goal as complete.
I like the new graphics, I’m finding it easier to follow.
I’m wondering if anyone else is having this same issue and if you figured out a solution so I can mark it as complete.
Please let me know your thoughts on this.
My trainer talked about surcingles that would best suit my needs in my lesson last week. She showed me the different types that she has and suggested a surcingle meant to be used ON TOP of the saddle (like in this photo), but I can’t find one anywhere.
I’m trying to get back into the saddle after an L5 S1 disc bulge. The current plan is groundwork and then hop on to cool him out until I’ve healed enough to do more (she has experience dealing with her own disc bulge issues).
I’m wondering if anyone has suggestions/knowledge/experience with anything like this.
We’re working on a variety of ways to work on the ground that’s best for us and gives variety. Last week we worked on getting Dylan used to changing rein using my bit lead and want to work on some long lining too.
I really want to keep things interesting for Dylan and I during this transition and would greatly appreciate any suggestions or even ideas on keeping things interesting for us.
Thank you
Edit: OK, so everybody seems to be misinterpreting this photo
Dylan is a Sport Pony and we ride dressage, though I’ve also been doing some working equitation with him.
We are currently working on relaxing his poll and keeping things interesting for both of us. The side reins are there, but rarely attached to the bit.
I’m searching for the sole purpose of long lining and being able to cool him out under saddle without having to completely change tack and rather just taking a surcingle off the saddle so I can get on.
Does anyone else do this?
Whenever I’m sending/receiving vibes from a Birb friend and when I’m looking at their new outfits/birdhouse decor, I always wonder about the origin of their name. When I notice that they might have a particular kind of style that they stick with (i.e. a goth-type look or maybe a lot of pink and flowers) I start wondering about the personality of the Birb and their person
Is it random? Is it something special to them?
LexiPexi came about because “Lexi“ is what I used to call my niece when she was little (I still use it to avoid Alexa Amazon from chiming in on my conversations). “Pexi” popped into my head and stuck with me. I couldn’t think of it any other names better than “LexiPexi”
i’m curious about how all of you chose your name if you’re comfortable talking about it.
I am an outdoors loving, creative person who lives in comfy, baggy cut off jeans when I’m not in my riding breeches. So you’ll rarely find LexiPexi in a skirt or dress

I know there are better threads for this, but I feel like some of you can relate and I’m hoping for some advice
I recently found out I’ve had an L5 S1 disc bulge since February and had a steroid injection yesterday.
They say one year, multiple shots and no horse riding should heal the disc or have my second Laminectomy to fix the disc.
I can do groundwork (which is what I’ve been doing recently) but riding is where I truly get out of my head and feel the ultimate partnership with my horse
I have chronic pain and CPTSD. I work very hard to stay healthy, which includes working with horses and Pilates to keep my body strong for my dressage riding
I’ve been riding since I was 8 to escape childhood trauma and has also helped after a bad accident. It’s my passion, and how I escape from the world.
I’m scared to lose the one thing that helps give me my serenity
Thank you for listening

I’m devastated and have probably only slept two hours.
LexiPexi and I just needed to tell a supportive community of our birb family.
