Cavalry Drills

[rayarthart]

I'm looking for some mounted dale stinks that individuals can do mounted on horse. We are starting a group for disabled veterans here and I'm looking for some exercise that can be done by the men/women. Kanye thoughts or sources would help.

I much as I am not a fan of anything English (riding wise anyway {sorry but the few I have member have been very snobbish and pretty much looked down on anyone else}) you like want to look at paradressage and combine elements of that with someparts from one of the old cavalry manuals. I know allot of this depends on how badly disabled the veterans are.

What are these?

I'd note that the original query didn't say anything about "English" riding, and fwiw the majority of really accomplished riders here would advocate the Military Seat. As we're a military horse forum this is most often in the context of military saddles, but the officers saddles of the 20th Century were a type of saddle that we might loosely categorize as "English saddles".

I'm not a really accomplished rider, and when I ride (which sadly hasn't been much recently) I ride a Western saddle, but that's because I need a stock saddle. I tend to think Western stock saddles are very much overused and most riders would be better off learning to ride on something else.

Now what would be ideal in this specialized application, I have no idea.

All I meant was that elements of para dressage might be added to some cavalry style riding, I also meant I know next to nothing about any event that is nowdays concidered English. There are so many different style/ types of western saddles and allot of junk ones as well, it is hard to say anymore about those saddles. But how are those vets disables is a big partt of the question as well.

That is no doubt very true, and may make a Western saddle the best choice here. A person would of course have to know the details.
