How is your clicker training going? I just ordered a clicker and a couple of intro books so I could work with a new dog I adopted. I went ahead a purchased a book on using clicker training with horses too.

i just stopped by to wish you happy holidays. hope its going good with your horse. hows the leg? did youget a vet to look at it? anyways. enjoy your holiday season and ride safe.

Love the picture of your horse !

oh im sure its sore.does it touch the ground when walking? or close to it? that much scar tissue will bother him.for sure. lets hope the vet thinks he can clean it out.do it once and for all.then with you i bet with care you can heal it up maybe get a non hurting horse out of it...

that would be good..cuts an scars on the lower leg.and pasturn are tough. then with scar build up it gets so thick it gets in the way.sometimes it can be cleaned out.all the scar tissue and then heal up correctly.. so a chance of getter him back to good...

where is the scar at? lower leg? shoulder? just curious. vets can get expensive and often you can take care of it yourself alot cheaper. a picture of it would be good too..

very good. ill cross my fingers for you and hope its pretty darn soon. so what is hurt on her? or him? cant remember...

true..dont want to make him mad.or her.. your first horse should be a heart felt one. well almost all horses end up heartfelt...lol. out of my herd i got one that i dont like that much.but she is so good for new riders.and everyone. i cant get rid of her..lol.. would miss her to much.go figure huh..lol

very pretty horse. hope it works out. keep me posted..will be a very exciting day for you . any idea when your moving on the horse? getting half>? never know.talk to them maybe there willing to sell all of him. dont know.. good luck..happy trails

good luck.hope it works out for you . is this your first horse? hope you post some pictures of it after you get the ball roling.. its pretty exiting . good luck.. keep us posted.. love to hear more about it.. happy holidays and ride safe

First, get yourself a trainer who knows how to handle a problem horse. If you aren't extremely careful, that horse could potentially kill you. It hardly seems the horse respects you, and you...

I can get pictures next weekend when I see him. They don't usually check their feet. They feed and watch them and check on them, but they don't ride and never really take them out. His toes are...

Okay, I will pass that on to them. I can't get to him during the week because they are an hour and a half drive from home, which is costly.

But I will make sure he gets scrubbed saturday and maybe sunday if I am able.

I apologize for the confusion. I circumvent a lot, and sometimes important information gets burried. I personally don't know a thing about hooves, shoes or whatever except basic information,...

I love that too! Thank you for sharing it! Posted via Mobile Device

I like him also! He seems to use more traditional methods vs. CA and Natural Horsemanship. Such as one video I saw, he was using a lasso (?) Whilst lunging a horse who had pressure issues and would...

Will do! His owner says he isn't super fast, but he is consistent, which is better than being fast. : p. But compared to the midgets I ride most of the time... His gait seems huuuuuge. Posted...

Excuse me if I am being presumptuous, please. I don't gouge with spurs. I ask with leg first, and if I get no response, I use the spur to give added pressure. Posted via Mobile Device

For me, the only reason I would bother "improving" a breed is to try and remove the health problems they are prone to. I know in the dog show business, the breeding seems to be quite retroactive,...

The latter is an O ring. Still a snaffle, just the rings are set in place and don't move around due to the bar looking things on attached to the mouthpiece. Posted via Mobile Device
