Ok so there is an Andalusian mare at the barn I work at, and she is 9 years old and only halter trained. Her owners said that in the Andalusian breed people only train the geldings and stallions, which confuses me. Anyone know why or how this is, or heard of why? It doesn't seem to make any sense to me why someone would own an Andalusian mare, or rather, any horse and just have them halter trained because of how the certain breed is looked after? I mean...I feel sorry for this poor horse...she's kept out to pasture all day, then brought into the barn every night, only halter trained, and her owners come out maybe once a week to groom her to pristine cleanliness only to turn her back out to the pasture because of the breed... It just doesn't make any sense to me. Can anyone understand this and explain why this would be done?
Dance, I just find it suspicious that a new user found an old thread, and brought it back up with their very first and only post.
Not saying it was Tealeaf or even anyone who knows her, but I don't believe in coincidences like that. :?
Unless Crazy comes back and actually starts posting again, my money's on them trying to stir up something on purpose.
Tealeaf, this is a pretty decent BB with a lot of good folks, and if you read the whole thread you'll find that most people didn't agree that it's normal for Andalusian mares not to be trained.
I did read the positive comments, too, especially by Ohmyitschelle. She sounds like a beautiful person.
The funny thing about this whole thread is that my mare IS trained to ride. I trained her myself as soon as I got her.
