Has anyone ever worn Under Armour under their show clothes?
Written by admin on April 6, 2009 – 1:38 pm -I’m on the Ohio State equestrian team and since we show in the winter time, I was considering getting some type of Under Armour shirt to wear under my horsemanship shirt to help protect against the cold.
Has anyone done this and if so, which is the best kind of shirt to get?
Yeah, I’ve definitely worn UnderArmour during classes! Especially at Dickinson this past Sunday, the show was freezing!
Anyways, anything goes as long as you can’t see it. Even if it shows through your shirt a little bit, the judge isn’t going to notice it. I usually wear black long-sleeved UA. I wouldn’t get a turtleneck in case it pokes over the top of the stock tie. No bright colors, stick with black, white, or tan. I wear black because the sleeves are a little long, so they aren’t noticed under my crochet gloves… although white would be a good idea if your regular shirt sleeves aren’t long enough, then you can just pull the sleeves over the cuff of your gloves a little bit…

Equestrian workouts to strengthen my upper body?
Written by admin on April 6, 2009 – 1:38 pm -I ride horses and im not too happy with my weight. im only 13 but i still feel self conscious and like I could be helping myself out more. I want to strengthen my upper body [arms, shoulders, back] along with my core [abs and what not] i know this is gonna be difficult but im up for it.
I was looking for exercises to help me gain all of that. On and off the horse.
I tend to ride once a week but when the time changes ill have more time in the afternoon to ride, so ill be more active with the horses soon.(:
You'd all be life savers if you could help out!
Okay so crunches (make sure you use your abs to pull yourself up and not your neck!)
reverse crunches (lay on the floor like your going to do a normal crunch instead use your abs to raise your bent legs up at about a 45 degree angle and slowly lower them–it works your lower abs)
ab twists—sit on the floor with your feet flat on the floor, spread about shoulder-width apart and holding a soccer or basketball slowly lean back, flexing your abs all the time. When you get about 1/2 way down to the floor stop and twist your torso to the left, hold for 1 second and repeat with your right side—after this lower yourself to the floor slowly and raise back up like a regular crunch…repeat about 15 times.
push-ups, bi-cep curls and arm lifts (with about 5-10 lbs weights) will stengthen your arms and shoulders..
Good Luck–also remember that lugging water buckets (full), saddles, full-wheelbarrows, hay bales, mucking stalls, etc are great ways to build arm strength and help out around the barn!
Good Luck!

How to rewrite History: Rate 1 to 10
Written by admin on April 6, 2009 – 1:38 pm -Judy Wallman, a professional genealogical researcher, discovered that
Hillary Clinton’s great-great uncle, Remus Rodham, was hanged for horse stealing and train robbery in Montana in 1889.
The only known photograph of Remus shows him standing on the gallows. On the back of the picture is this inscription: ‘Remus Rodham; horse thief, sent to Montana Territorial Prison 1883, escaped 1887, robbed the Montana Flyer six times. Caught by Pinkerton detectives, convicted, and hanged in 1889.’
Judy e-mailed Hillary Clinton for comments. Hillary’s staff sent back the
following biographical sketch:
‘Remus Rodham was a famous cowboy in the Montana Territory. His business empire grew to include acquisition of valuable equestrian assets and intimate dealings with the Montana railroad. Beginning in 1883, he devoted several years of his life to service at a government facility, finally taking leave in 1887 to resume his dealings with the railroad. Subsequently, he was a key player in a vital investigation run by the renowned Pinkerton Detective Agency. In 1889, Remus passed away during an important civic function held in his honor, when the platform on which he was standing collapsed.’
And that is how it’s done, folks!
Yes very clever
10/10

What is the standard jump size for the equestrian junior nationals?
Written by admin on April 6, 2009 – 1:37 pm -does that make sense?
It makes sense, I just can't find the right answer. I would guess around 4ft though.
