When you getting pics of your babies up on here?

I just wanted to say "hello" to a fellow North Dakotan! I just caught it when I was reading the bucking post on the training forum. What area are you from?

I'm from the Napoleon area (if you have any idea at all where that is at) but I am currently living in Oregon while I finish grad school. And my horse unfortunately has to stay at home with mom and dad in the meantime. I just got to see him over the Christmas break while I was home and he's as furry as ever! And surely going to need it the next two weeks with the terribly cold weather ... guess I got back out of the state just in time!

Lawd, what would the woman who said: "I shouldn't pat my horse on the neck" say if she knew I kissed my horse on the nose - that in fact I prefer to kiss my horse rather than most of the women I...

Going back to the knotted latigo, I've never knotted any of mine in my 25+ years of riding. I just buckle it using the tongue on the cinch and the holes in the latigo, then I run the excess up...

NATURAL HORSEMANSHIP is not a name 'trademarked' by any particular Guru. WE ALL USE NATURAL HORSEMANSHIP when we use a horse's natural 'hardwired' nature to train any horse. 'Herd dynamics' have...

Why does it have to have a name to be NH? Seems to me that you don't consider it unless it does. Big mistake. Many of us do "NH", with a combination of methods from many of the recognized names,...

It's not uncomfortable - if you do it right. Obviously it would be if you always kicked him when you swing you leg over, but I don't think it hurts him or anything. It's also a good thing to do...

I guess I am looking at this from a beginner/recent beginner perspective, as an adult learner. Ok, there are SO MANY horse people who think it must be THEIR WAY or it's WRONG/BAD/RUINING THE...

Problem is....how do you know a horse elder from a horse newbie from a horse whackadoo on the internet? Goodness knows we've all been misinformed over some horse issue at one point, and maybe we...

A new trend. :idea: I think I'll see about wondering what bra and panties my girlfriend is wearing next time we go riding :lol: (might even give her some suggestions :twisted:) :rofl:

Wait, you compare jail with a horses life? Lol. I never really looked at it like that-- probably because they are the most spoiled inmates ive ever seen, :rofl: im gonna call my horses 'my inmates'...

. "how do men ride horses?" Well,we put our left foot in the stirrup and swing up on the Horse, put our right foot in the other stirrup and yell giddy up and hold on for dear life. No big...

Exactly. If you can ride a bicycle with those tiny, skinny seats without hurting yourself, you can ride a horse with no problem at all.

Carefully. If it hurts, you're doing it wrong.

Nya it sounds like you are getting some great advice here and from what you have said it sounds like you are getting a better then average horse. good luck with him. getting lessons would be a good...

Just stay calm/relaxed/focused/ - I do believe you're in love with him already, and I don't blame you! It is so exciting!!! Try to sleep, have an awesome day tomorrow, and simply enjoy :)
