13th of September

Uni is busy and weather is still cruddy (though there were <i>some</i> nice days). Reggle is doing pretty good though. Haven’t ridden as much as I am wanting too, but end of semester is coming up soon so I’ll have more time to get him trucking then. For now, gotta get that study done and get that 80% average boiiii

Anyway, Reggie’s figured out haunches in/traverse all of a sudden. Not perfect, but its there. Really this shouldn’t surprise me cause he did the same thing when teaching it in-hand. Just wasn’t getting it, wasn’t getting it, wasn’t getting it, oh wait I get it. He’s interesting in that respect. I’ve been playing with it undersaddle a little bit and he definitely finds the right rein easier than the left. On the right, its a little harder to keep the correct bend, but as his hinds strength up that should disappear. He gets the concept and that’s all I care about for the moment. In fact, this is becoming his ‘go to thing’ when he gets confused with laterals lol Couple times when leg yielding he’d pop into traverse because he thought it was easier lol Hopefully that means teaching half-pass will not be too much of a struggle.

I think the overall quality of his gaits have improved too. Walk is certainly better and I think the trot is coming along too. I haven’t done much/anything with the ‘fancy’ lengthen trot, I think he might be a little sore through his shoulder, but the overall quality of the gait feels better. I think anyway. Since I usually ride on my own I don’t have any video to compare with atm. Should en-devour to get some, but its probably better to learn off feel anyway. He’s certainly working up into the bridle more and doesn’t get so low anymore, so I’m taking that as improvement.

Canter is getting better too, but going is slow. I try not to spend too much time on it cause he’s young, but canter is soemthing we are going to need in the future. Its more just corners and circles that are bleh. Like they can be done, but its not as pretty as I want it to be. Just typical young horse motorbiking stuff. Left lead has gotten heaps better than the first attempt, can usually manage at least one half-decent transition and he’s beginning to pick his shoulder up and bend. Right lead is very hit and miss. When he gets it right, its better than the left lead, but its much harder to get to that point. I think its mainly just a case of more miles and chipping away at it slowly. He just needs a lot of support and hand-holding atm, which is easier said than done when he’s leaning into the circle and you’re trying to sit straight lol. I did have to get after him a little bit with the whip today cause he started messing around in the transition and just running through my seat+legs, so he had bit of a buck and carry on about that but then afterwards he was much better. I think the buck was more of a ‘need to get my legs in order’ over anything else. He is a delicate petal, so a touch with the stick often gives a big response lol

Overall he’s much more relaxed about the canter though. He doesn’t run when you bring him back to trot or get too uptight once you go sitting trot after canter. Still a little bit of wiggling, but if you just stay with him he settles right back down again. Like you can actually ask for more forward and he’ll give it rather than hollowing out, rushing and getting a little panicky. I think doing stretchy circles after canter helps with that, or at least continuing a little trot work before bringing him back to a walk/halt. Downwards transitions in general have improved heaps, not so much jolting to a stop, he is actually carrying the energy through a bit. Unless I forget and say ‘woah’ but that’s my fault :p Never hurts to have an emergency break lol. V had me take a big breath in and then out when going down a gait, and Reggie has actually picked up on it. The things they pay attention too is kinda amazing when you think about it. Needless to say, downwards transitions are actually not too horrible anymore, even my accidental canter-walk ones lol Upwards transistions are hit and miss. Like trot to canter is just no, walk to trot can be good and halt to walk are usually alright. Taking up a little extra contact has helped with this some as well as having in-front of the leg more, so I’m not having to ‘do’ as much to get a nicer transition than weeks previous, so I suppose that is good too.

Am looking forward to the warmer weather, I am a tiny bit sick of riding in the rain (though today was alright actually) and trekking through mud. Reggie has gotten a little spot of mud fever on his hinds which is annoying and his neck rug has rubbed out part of his mane ;-; Hopefully it will grow back soon, but that missing spot is making my running braids look very funny. His mane is so long it gets in the way when I ride, so I braid it to keep it out of the way, but because of that missing bit, I can’t braid the entire way down his neck and instead end up doing one ‘normal’ braid and then one ‘microbraid’ to get the rest of it out of the way. It does look pretty funny lol Anyway, nothing that can fix that but time.

Things that creeps BTS out

Oh I'm really curious, what would be soemthing that bts' s/o did/does that would creep them out? (Ex: s/o says they are madly in love with them or s/o has a creepy laugh) I'm really curious what you think each member would be really creeped out by

Ahh, yes. Time to throw subtle shade at all the creepy and unrealistic smut/fanfics I’ve read about them that would be weird as shit if done in real life *rubs hands together menacingly* - Admin Dayna

Seokjin

Inappropriate Jokes and/or comments at Inappropriate Times

There’s a time and place for everything. As long as it’s well delivered and not offensive, he’s down for a good joke. But if the two of you are in public and you drop an insensitive/sexual joke/comment in front of not just him, but many others - he’s not going to be a happy boyfriend...

Groping/Touching him

Timing is essential for this as well. It’s cool and whatever when you’re both in the mood. In fact, it’s welcome when you two are getting down and dirty. But outside of the house, outside of that moment, touching him like that is just weird. You’re bound to get your hand smacked and scolded.

Yoongi

Prejudice and Shallow Judgment

Especially towards those who are not neurotypical. If you stare down someone because they’re a little different, make a negative comment about someone you don’t know about their appearance - or just pass a shallow judgment based off materialistic things, he’s going to look at you with disgust. Fat shaming, slut shaming, etc., it’s going to rub him the wrong way.

Hoseok

Insensitivity

Inappropriate jokes, sexual innuendo, and a little bit of bullying doesn’t hurt. He’s always down for the shits and giggles. But once the jokes passes the limit and hurts someone’s feelings, he’ll be incredibly upset with you. Insensitivity isn’t cool. Jokes are supposed to make people laugh, not hurt their feelings.

Namjoon

Prejudice and Shallow Judgment

Much like Suga, prejudice would annoy him. But, I think his distaste for prejudice would be directed more to politics: Homophobia, sexism, transphobia, racism, etc. He’ll take offense to micro-aggressive comments even if it doesn’t effect him. Fetishism of race especially gets to him. Which brings us to point two;

Fetishism of his race

Some people like to pass it off as just being super into Korean culture, (or just flat out being a koreaboo), but fetishizing him because he’s Asian would definitely creep him out. What are you doing, sis? It’s a no go.

Jimin

Oversexualization of him and/or other members

Even if it’s just a joke, it’ll make him uncomfortable. Of course he wants to feel sexy around his s/o, but there’s a point where the line can be crossed and it just gets weird. He has to deal with crazy fans... he shouldn’t have to worry about his s/o, too.

Taehyung

Distaste or Avoidance of Children

How can you not like kids? People who pro-actively dislike children creep him out. He wouldn’t understand. He can’t help but assume that those who don’t like children or children don’t like them have questionable moral grounds. When you see kids, you’re supposed to act surprised when they tell you facts that you already know, and you’re supposed to play house and eat their pretend noodles - WHY AREN’T YOU EATING THEIR PRETEND NOODLES?????

Jungkook

Oversexualization of the words “Oppa” and “Daddy”

It’s no new news that Jungkook hates when older fans call him “oppa”, but could you imagine how he’ll feel after he finds out how much Intl Fans have sexualized the word? Follow this with his s/o throwing that and “daddy” around would strike a nerve, I’m sure. Sexualizing the word “oppa” is disrespectful all on its own, but with the addition of the “daddy” kink would be a wrap. Get the fuck away from him.**

** This isn’t kink shaming, I just really believe Jungkook would hate it. The “oppa” thing is real though. Stop sexualizing the word “oppa” wtf
