If so, then what are your ideas?

what about horses? first you would need a horse...

Yeah. I go that covered already.

is it the one on your avatar?

What about horses do you want to know?

Consider your resource constraints. Of course, you should not do anything that would lead to the death of your horse. Then you also have to consider that you have to finish the IP within a certain time frame. Also, as much as possible you should be able to do the IP on your own.

Always remember that an IP is experimental research, and experimental research is predicated on a cause-and-effect scenario ("if I do this, what?"). So what variables about horses can you measure? Etc.

(Hey, while replying to this I just realized how easy to keep track of the students' IP ideas via here. Also, other students--and even other members of the forum--could chip in their ideas.)

Well, what I want to know about them are the aspects of horses or riding that I can use as an IP. The proposal I submitted to you was related to horseback riding. The English riding style performing a routine called a dressage. My IP was based on the question on the best type of saddle that befits dressage riders and horses to perform at their peak. There are many different saddle forms, and each built and designed differently from the inner framework of the tree all the way to the material used for the seat, and the type of leather used to line the saddle. If each and every one of these have an effect on the performance of the horse and or rider, then that's what my IP is to find out. A saddle that would have designs made for dressage performers, but what makes it a "dressage" saddle? and why? What would happen to the same horse and the same rider if they used another saddle type, let's say for example a racing saddle? How would this affect the performance? . . . or would this have no effect at all. What's so special behind the designs altered specifically for dressage riding? I'll have to put all these into consideration.

I don't think this would cause the death of any horse, maybe exhaustion at the most haha LoLz

Oh, by the way, has my IP proposal been accepted? . . . or you haven't gone through it yet? haha

i dont know ha... but i think theres too much room for inconsistencies with the rider... I mean as long as a human is included in the setup, it wont be consistent...

Dressage riders and horses train for years to master even simple dressage movements, and even more years for the more advanced and complex moves. Besides, both the horse and rider aren't perfect. So no matter what, there won't be any way too change that, which s why we will use the best match up of horse and rider - a couple who are very aware of each other and are used to one another. This bond is what keeps them on the same frequency. So inconsistencies won't really matter, since they're trained for dressage routines - which requires repetition of moves.
