welcome to the over 40... 37 is so close to 40 who is counting..lol.. joking. enjoyed your pictures of jazzy. so how is his walk? i raised twh for years and years. did some cross breeding with other breeds but not very much. looking forward to hearing more from you..hope you had a Merry Christmas and now a happy new year .. ride safe..

I cannot thank each of you enough for your feedback. I agree with all that has been said and will try and answer the questions posed: 1. He was gelded "late", or that is what I was told. I was...

Yes, the reason I only hit around him with the whip and not him, is b/c the horse isn't mine. The owners & BO are very close & yes that is something I have to consider as a boarder. having said that,...

Trainers, good ones, are a god send... At least for me as I started with a yearling. And it is my first go with a young one (now 3.5). Used her more to teach me than the horse some days!

Chalk it up to a bad day for all involved. I'm glad they pulled you off so you stayed safe, and I have a hunch once you ask your instructor "why" you may be surprised that it wasn't because you're a...

Well Alex, I'm 37 too, so I shall join you - I have a hunch we will be welcome here :-) I hope everyone had a nice holiday. We got about 20 inches of snow last night and I'm debating whether or...

My jazzy gets run around a bit BC she's low horse in the herd- always lol. Plus she's 3 and still wants to play, so the older mares will indulge her her a bit and then tell her to scram :-) Every...

To get a visual of what is being described, just watch any Julie goodnight or Clinton Anderson video- 99% of the time they show a horse who lacks respect being taught who is in charge... Both shows...

He looks rather intrigued by your boyfriend working away lol. That's a great pic!

So many great posts. I have to use a trainer, I also take lessons and board my horse, so believe you me, I get enough criticism for everyone here! And I am given more "help" than you can imagine....
