Hi Kendra 🙂 It's more about how you feel on your stirrups in order to have the right balance, you need to have your heels very very down, if you have the right balance with your heels just a little downer than your stirrup it's fine

I think we all have different relationships with our horses, it's like with human beings. I bought the pony I was leasing for 2 years when he was going to be sold because I just couldn't let him go, even though he's really not the horse who's going to take me to prize giving every weekend and make me progress.
I just have him by my side and I couldn't imagine my life without him now, but I ride another horse now, I adore him really he will always have a special place in my heart, but not the same as my first horse 🙂

Hi Jack 🙂 I think it not a well known job, many people think it is just, as you said, brushing a horse, making him shine, braid his mane...
A groom is really always with her/his horses, taking care of them, checking on their health, knowing them better than anyone. From riding them in the morning to feeding them just before going to bed, a top rider couldn't go without a really talented groom!

Hi! The British Horse Society has a job section on their website 🙂 https://www.bhs.org.uk/our-charity/jobs

Hi Kelsey,
My mom's horse has it, he regularly has joint injections but can still work with some precautions and a specific management that our vet advised us. I advise you to read this: https://www.midriversequine.com/equine-joint-health-fusing-hocks/
It helped us to understand hock fusion better!

Hi! I am not a big big fan of country music, I can listen to a few songs now and then but it's not particularly my thing aha
