Yeah i agree. I wish he was at my place but my trainer is like a mom to me. Well he will ve there till either i move to tehachapi or they move to Texas lol. I dont pay anything I just help my trainer when ever she needs it.

Oh haha yeah that makes sense. My guy is at my trainers i hate having to leave.

They do look a lot a like he is a carbon copy minus more hair and being shorter to my trainers gelding also haha. What happened to your guy?

Hi the halter? you have on the horse in your avatar is very interesting, did you make it or is there a website I could find this? I would really like to buy one

I'm not sure if I'm the only one seeing it, but it looks like the horse comes out of the bow free will to lunge at the person. :shock: He/she has no control over that horse and it can only end very...

I think this is a really good question. The OP is taking a course in training and handling horses. Where are the instructors, where is her guidance? What are her trainers telling her to do? Why is...

Not sure why it is so hard to get the point across that if you lay a horse down or throw that there IS retraining involved afterwards, it gets the horse into the mindset where retraining is possible....

Finally looking at more of the posts. It is interesting that the horse is anthromorphized with human characteristics, and it does make me sad. Because not the solution are more shotgun. Horses are...

Yep, we will have to agree to disagree. IMO, there is a huge difference in keeping a domesticated animal vs a wild animal. A zebra is definitely a wild animal. I have a background in animal control,...

Sounds like this university is very similar to the one I went too. One of the reasons why I stopped taking equine classes there was for reasons precisely like this one. Instead of being taught...

I'm tending to think, that although the OP has asked for help here, he/she will go his/her own way, still not restart this young horse with the basics, still insist on riding him when obviously not...
