I friended you as well :)

Friend me, I'll accept. I'll work on the photobucket!

Hi. I'm afraid that whilst I can now find you, I can't see the album? A photobucket album will let you do a link to horse forum - might be worth trying?

Hi I have a brand new bosal with the rein, and a slightly used purple and I think it is blue not teal rope halters, with the lead. I can email pics if you are interested.

I have no desire these days to push futurity horses. I started out that way and have the arthritic mare in my pasture to show for it, winning isn't that important to me anymore. I like to start...

I don't see major cowhocks from the pictures you posted. It is normal for most horses to toe-out a little on the hinds. I think it's so the hip in motion doesn't interfere with the ribcage. ...

My mare change her color all the time. Perhaps not as extreme as your gelding. Some examples. Brown greyish...

I take that as a no then. Nice lack of responsibility there. I hope for her sake and the new owner's sake she isn't bred. What breed is the gelding supposed to be? He's butt high. Need...

Oh good, she's going to a good home Until you can afford to provide a horse with proper care, don't get another!! EVERY horse needs what she does, proper farrier and vet care along with good...

Why should anyone pay you for the "privilege" of tuning up your retired horse for you? If anything, it sounds to me like YOU should be the one paying for this mare to get some work... or at least...

Alive is a preferred way to arrive!

My thoughts exactly

Yes, ask questions. It sounds like you did fine. I think you'll find if you keep it up you'll actually develop a "patter," kind of a script, you know, of things to say. You'll figure out that *most*...

Agreed with the others, 100%. It sounds to me like you're on the right track as far as the sort of exercises to use, but need help with your timing, feel, and execution to be effective and get the...
