Flynn 314 Posted April 15, 2016 Report Share Posted April 15, 2016 Good Luck to You Socks, Your going to need it,so many ex racers have a lot of 'issues' some of which cannot be sorted. Take all the help You can get and i wish You the best of luck. I doubt I would need to tell You to get her cranked in the first instance. Quote Link to post

Take all the help You can get and i wish You the best of luck. I doubt I would need to tell You to get her cranked in the first instance. She isn't a typical racer in the fact that the yard she came from had six youngsters in and all were given two or three races each and the best ones kept and the rest mine included were sold. She has done a bit of dressage schooling and a lot of hacking out ... She is very very gentle and a real calm horse ... She rides out with a fairly loose noseband and takes a bit with no fuss so I probably won't need to get her cranked ...... Quote Link to post
breeze 1,343 Posted April 15, 2016 Report Share Posted April 15, 2016 Socks.... What does the term "cranked" mean ? Quote Link to post
socks 32,253 Posted April 15, 2016 Author Report Share Posted April 15, 2016 Basically It's a type of noseband that fits tighter on the horse which means you have more control on the horse through the bit ... It's used a lot on dressage horses where they need to be tightly controlled ...... Quote Link to post
FUJI 17,363 Posted April 15, 2016 Report Share Posted April 15, 2016 I had a ex racing mare myself ten 15 yrs or so ago. She was 17 hands ' massive for a mare. I had 2-3 rideing lessons then just got on her and took her out. She wasn't a problem I was gone 4 hours and had folk looking everywhere A little enthusiastic I was. We both came back stiff and lathered . They couldn't believe where I'd been with her. A gentle Giant she was that could move. Vanola was her name . It might of actually been her racing name. If she wasn't 17 hands your feet would of been on the floor Max haha.. You must be 6ft 6 lol 1 Quote Link to post
