You can buy a regular shadow roll at a race track store. I have a plain one that I use on horses that don't need tie downs. You can make your own as well on a cavesson or tie down noseband. Get some halter fleece and stuff it to the size you need. |

But that's what's happening... I'm adamantly against the "bullying" which I'm not entirely sure is the correct term for this, but the promotion of this riding style is going to backfire. I've seen twenty pictures since last night of younger girls who can't even correctly sit a horse following this BS and chiming in with their awful pictures to fit in with an adult crowd that's telling them it's okay to be that far out of position and kick a horse that's only trying to stay under them. |

I agree - just because it happens, it doesn't make it "cool."
I'm worried about all the kids who are going to try to do this to get a "cool" starfish picture. |

| I have to say, I love this forum. This morning when I checked my facebook it was blown up with "starfish" pictures. I have been running for 27 years, I have been down the road both rodeoing and to jackpots and this is a term I have never, ever heard of. So I came here to find out the heck was going on!
Any who, it isn't any body's business how a person rides. We all make mistakes, we all get out of position, if you claim you never have you're lying to yourself. We all have our opinions on how others ride BUT the adult thing to do is keep it to yourself unless your opinion is asked for. Cutting someone else down to make you feel better, pah-leese! Get a life. |

Location: Peach State | I know it happens to everyone and a lot of people are posting their pictures "starfishing" to stand up agains bullying but there is a difference between hustling home with long legs kicking out and having your ass two feet out of the saddle leaving every barrel. Young kids think it's cool or mean they're trying harder than everyone else and they should be praised for how much air they can get. No. Stay with your horse. I know it happens it's happened to me and we can't control every movement in "the moment" but please don't aim for a sore horse.
And as for Sarah McDonald getting made fun of for how she rides bling. That's ridiculous! hell if I got to run a horse like that I'd probably **** my pants out of excitement if I made it around all three barrels. |

Location: At the race track with Ah Dee Ohs | hammer_time - 2015-08-04 10:50 PM LOL star fishing to me is when I lay in bed like a starfish and don't let hubby in HAHA!!
but relating to horses, I haven't heard the term yet but I think it's pretty pathetic what people are doing on Instagram.

Location: North Dakota | Trust me I do not "kick the air out of one" but I have pictures of me starfishing. If you have enough pictures taken of you then you will have them. It is mostly the first stride or two coming out of a barrel when it happens. If you are riding a poweful horse and they go to launch just at the right moment when you are loosening up to ride and kick you will get a little air for a split second and a photo taken at that exact moment can look bad. |

| Has anyone actually looked up the meaning of star fishing? It's disgusting. I think someone needs to come up with a different name when talking about the rider. |

I'm sorry... As a person that was bullied face to face when I was young, I have no sympathy for people that get in a twist when all they have to do to stop it is hit the "off" switch and go do something else. |

Lol, yup I googled it.... And the one you refer to is definitely not worth repeating.... But there are a couple of other ones, like sprawling out over the bed when your spouse/ better half gets up....
Didn't realize it had a name.... Yes, I've seen girls do the split on a horse but mostly it is when they get bumped out of the saddle.... And yes, I probably done it too. Just never got caught on camera.
while looking up the meaning I of course encoutered the multiple rants about racing.... and I had to refrain myself from commenting. Like someone else mentioned, every discipline has their extemes. So just let it go.
Also, educating them "horsepeople" will take a lifetime or two.... and I have better things to do with my time.... and some of them just don't want to be edumacated.....
