All your neurones are in working order ... sorry being a bit cheeky.<br /><br />However PLEASE it is manège!!! not ménage, It means a couple.<br /><br />I would not understand "marshmallow on the fence" either as we do not eat them, and our fencing (I bet) is quite different.<br /><br />I really relate to the feel on horse-riding. Nowadays my question to Saul are "what should I feel?" instead of "what should I do?".<br /><br />Great post!Murielhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05491691754938320621noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29272013.post-76474626787010752792010-02-07T18:25:05.509-05:002010-02-07T18:25:05.509-05:00Caroline, Uhm....BLUSH!!

The cool thing is that I can make it into an almost silent "purr" in the show arena and no one knows except my horse and me.Jeanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10029423500476995817noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29272013.post-67022504369285542802010-02-07T15:18:02.934-05:002010-02-07T15:18:02.934-05:00Hope you weren't too badly affected by the sno...Hope you weren't too badly affected by the snow. I think part of the reason the different horse disciplines have so much trouble sometimes speaking to one another is that different languages is used, when the feel we're all after is the same. And, as you so correctly point out, it's the feel that's important.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29272013.post-6163740321767711462010-02-07T15:15:12.850-05:002010-02-07T15:15:12.850-05:00A very thoughtful post spanning the world of langu...A very thoughtful post spanning the world of language, faith and horses. The experience of riding "on the bit" is a mystery until it is achieved and then you know what you were striving for. <br />Even between U.K. and American English: I had never heard the term posting (rising) trot or two-point (jumping position). If a horse is running away with you in Germany you make a noise like a phone used to make Brrrp, Brrrp (rolling off the front of your tongue). The run-away horse in France does not respond to the same and everyone thinks you're nuts.
