I thought that was you "TwoPoint", hehe. ;]
Anyways, I respect all of your opinions, but I will be showing Bear this weekend. He is doing just fab. and I know we will have a very good time Saturday.
FYI...
Bear is a very seasoned show horse. He has been to the biggest H/J show in Washington State a few times and has shows multiple other times. I have shown about 5 or so times and no longer get nervous about shows, now I just get a bit excited and just really chilled out (but focused). Once I settle in, for me its like schooling at home.
To BaliDoll:
Yes, Bear has only been ridden western once, but picked it up very quickly. Bear loves being put to the test, I guess you could say, but thinks things through quickly and is very smart. He was so happy the day that I rode him western. Just because he has never done it before doesnt mean that he cant show right away in it. (:
PS:
This is just me being wierd and wanting to share, but Bear is getting 50lbs. of (soaked) beet pulp per day.
PSS:
Please dont tell me that is to much, he is being lightly worked and the vet said he should be on about that much.
PSS:
I attached some pictures from our first western ride ever together. I know I look like poo, but we were really working on him. This is the first time he has collected undersaddle in a very long time, so im just sooo proud of him, and he handled the new saddle like a pro! Nice comments please! (:

Lovely looking horse, I personally dont like to show an unfit horse fat or thin . but he is your horse and YOU know him best if you think he is ready go for it!
Pls if if shows signs of stress or tiredness Swallow your pride and finish there wether its the first class or the 5th you dont want his first time back in the ring to be too much.
Apart from that good luck!!! | |

Do you guys think he would look good with a banded mane? I would have that for english and western. Also, should I do anything with his short little tail (besides brush it)? | |

Alright, I'm done with this thread now, too. lol need to get out before I say something I will feel sorry about later. Have a good show!
and misstwopoint... one, I looked at your youtube, won't say anything besides I don't think you're a "trainer", based on what I saw. A good rider, yes, trainer- no. Also, whether or not we are on horseforum has nothing to do with how much time we spend with our horses. For you to come in here as your first post and defend eventerwannabe, who wasn't being attacked in the first place only told our honest opinions, as your first post and being friends on youtube prior to coming to HF makes it seem like you were recruited. That's all I was thinking.

BaliDoll:
TwoPoint was not recruted, I promise you. We talk to eachother, so she knows whats going on in my horsey life. She came in here on her own, so please, dont assume things that are not true. TwoPoint was stating her opinions, and they just so happened to be the same as mine. | |

That's all I was thinking. | My thoughts exactly. Even under saddle in the most recent western pictures, that horse is too skinny to be going to a show. This horse should be getting worked very lightly and really be worrying more about eating and gaining weight. I would not take this horse to a show of be associated with a person taking a horse like this to a show. He looks like Denny when I first got him and I hid that horse under rugs until he gained weight. The last place I'd be is on a showground. I do think it is a bit selfish of you to be doing this, that is my opinion, and I wish you would re-think your decision. I am disappoined in the decision you made. I am 100% done with this thread, I am unsubscribing so I don't have the temptation to reply more. | |
