HORSEARCHERY / PICS

[yononindo]

Hello HORSECRAZY,

Hi Jer Bear, hello Sal.

I really do appreciate your suggestions about starting a "HORSE ARCHERY - ONLINE COURSE".

Instead of an "ONLINE COURSE" - I`d like to suggest the following:

I WOULD LIKE TO OFFER YOU MY FRIENDSHIP INSTEAD OF BECOMING A TEACHER WHO IS TALKING TO STUDENTS !!


Sharing my knowledge about Horse Archery would be a pleasure for me.

Daniel

Hello Daniel and others. After a while i stayed off from Trad Gang, i am very happy you started this topic!
I have 13 year old Wesphalian mare and we have been training horse archery together / alone here in Finland. But now i have found 6 more persons in my country who are interested in this sport and my wish is to start first finnish horseback archery club soon.
It is great this sport is coming more and more popular all over the world and these forums about it are very wellcome. There sure is lots of things to talk and share.
And to Daniel! Great to see you shooting from horseback too!!
Here is a link to Youtube about me and my horse shooting.
 

Greetings to you all!

Great pictures.

Thanks Jerry and go for it! It sure is fun! Just remember to proceed slowly with horse. If it scares something (arrow, bow, quiver...), you have to take few steps back and start training again. Step by step on terms of your horse. But it is one of the greatest feelings i know, to get that connection and cooperate with horse and shoot from gallop.
Have fun!
Greetings!

wow like a youtube gathering on youtube, looks like we are all here, Daniel, awesome as always.  Marko, we need to see more of you on here!!!  You definatly have the experience and you are most definatly a heck of a shot!

[Trophybow1]

Hey Chris, nise to meet you here too! Thanks, it is allways nice to visit here too, it is nicest atmosphere on these forums and so much to learn!

[Jerry Wald]

Marko - no problem with the bow etc - I can shoot guns off of him and we have chased bears and caribou.

What I am working on is a nice extended canter with control.

He is a great bush horse, but doesn't have alot of go in him. I have really needed it for what we normally do 30 mile return trips in the bush.

So the go part is what I am working on and moving off my legs better. My parelli program has helped heaps with the rest so i will trust it to help me here too.

thanks - I will keep you updated.

Have to figur out how to tape with my camera so the file isn't so big for youtube or photobucket,

WHAT DO YOU AND DANIEL do

Simply amazing!

Jer- Ah,i see. Then you have only "fine tuning" i would say LOL. I have been training those similar things- the control without hands, and also my balance for riding. I started it last May (2009) so i have LOT of work to do, i am just a beginner in horsemanship and riding. ( actually my whole "career" is in my Youtubechannel LOL )
 But i am so anxious to learn more and more all the time. Thank God i have patient horse and she is good teacher to me also.
 I have found that bareback riding is a great way to practise my balance better. And ofourse your parelli program is great thing to go forward.

My horse was not in good shape when i purchased it with my friend last june. So our trips in woods have been only like one hour trips. I am trying to be carefull not to break her legs. I want to build her hape carefull and get her good condition / healty soon as possible but without risks for injuries.

I have only pocket digital camera i use for filming. Then i make my "movies" with Windows Movie Maker (came with this old computer) That packs the movie smaller when you save it. But i am not good with editing and my movies are ot so good quality. (in fact i am so stubed that i dont know how i would add my picture to my messages LOL)

Daniel has MUCH more better advices i believe.

I think you are doing great myself....

Cavelettes will help with conditioning and to stregthen the back muscles - not too high but walk her through them 2-3 times a week for about ten minutes.

hill therapy if good too. Get her on a long line and get her to trot or canter on a side slope or through ditches...easy at first though

My main riding horse is " bow broke " but unless i keep up the practice he can begin to shy without a gentle re introduction . i'm actually about to break my older anglo arab " Jake " to the bow . at present i'm just going for walks withy him where i shoot the bow from the ground , rattle my quiver etc .
now , if only i could get those rabbiots to strand still ...lol
i'm taking " Longshot " my main younger horse on a pig/goat hunt later this year ... should be interesting !!!
