Hi Mason - thanks for the comment on my page - that quote about Parelli came from another forum but it still makes me chuckle when I read it. :) Happy trails!

 I really love my Dixieland...

Nobody would DARE...!! :twisted:

You're still getting lots of great advice but: You're the person that's going to connect and be with this horse 24/7. Just make sure whomever you choose has a healthy conformation that won't...

I just wonder about those crazy stories. It's a general fact in life that every story has two sides . So, I wonder how things got as bad as they get. And, for every person who has had this happen...

Are you a beginner? If so, WHY did you get a stallion? They are only for the most experienced of horse people as they are much more difficult to handle. Based on what you said here, you are well on...

Yes! Walk walk walk walk walk -- Does she have a nice forward flatwalk? Just ride her at that -- the walk will help her time up as it is a 4 beat gait as well. I would walk her (not a slow sloppy...
