I had the vet out and he said the teeth are fine... so I think you were right. She is letting him take charge so to speak. I also noticed that now when she rides she is holding her reins tighter, like maybe she is scared that he is going to run again. Hope the lessons help, he is a great horse.

Hey, Hey and G'day there, nrhareiner...I'm always look'n for people who are willing to share info...I have a new mare (the one pictured) and would love to start her with reining could you give me a few starting hints to work on? I am working with her responsiveness to me, walk...whoa...if response is slow I back her up and start again...this is starting to work but we are no where ready to slide but she's coming along. Due to her only doing hacking and Dressage and Jumping she is reluctant to roll her bum under herself...do you have any tips on helping a horse understand to tuck her hind quarters and bring her front around?

Hello how are you? I was wondering what is Te's breeding. As he as simaler confo to Drivin to Hollywood and Hollywood Dun It

Thanks, this certainly seems like a realy nice forum!

I love your user name! I just purchased a reining prospect, and I'm finally going to chase my dreams of reining! :)

I was looking at the NRHA website and I couldn't find what they charge for a license. Do you know? I need to get mine next year as were going to Alberta, Washington for NRHA shows.

Hi, I sent you a pm. I hope you can get around to responding to it.

Thank-you

I just wanted to sincerely thank you for answering my questions on my "Egg Biopsy" thread. :)

Has anyone had a problem with having a horse colic more than once? I have heard it is a good possibility that once they do colic, it will happen again?

Agreed, I've ridden a handful of reiners, both rusty and in show shape, not single one would have responded to those ques. My trainer probably would pull me off the horse and smacked me :wink:...

Toto-Several of us have stated we will NOT give an opinion, and we have stated MORE than enough times the reason why. NRHA-that must be how they do it wherever Toto is. Not in any of the USA...

This reminds me of a physician who told me years ago that he could tell from across the street if someone has HIV.:shock: Not only clairvoyant, but super vision powers as well!

Amberly, I am doubting that was a proper reining spin. I would hazard a guess that his body is NOT straight, his inside foot is NOT planted, and he may of may not be crossing over correctly. As...

Let me try and 'splain it to you so you can understand. An actual human being there WITH the OP could probably get on the horse and try a few of the most common cues for the spin, then show the OP...

I personally believe that its the way a reining horse is trained that makes it just walk out of an arena on a draped rein after completing a pattern. Obviously temperament and genetics help. But...

I don't really understand your problem. You asked for a photo and you got one. You wanted to talk to her, but I don't see where you are saying that you tried to, and she declined. Is she supposed...

OP...I'm sorry you felt put off by Stacy and that she didn't act they way you wanted her to. But she's not obliged to act the way YOU want her to. And she's not an NH trainer....she's a regular ole...

No bully and alpha are not the same. I have both in my herd. My alpha can move the others off with a look... my bully chases and picks and picks and picks at the other horses when she can get away...

Some food for thought.... I had a friend start her horse at about 4 years old, more like 5. Once she started her horse she had all sorts of trouble. This horse was so hard to train and wasn't...

Most horses I know are broke at 2, usually 2.5. I start mine at 2.5, I don't usually push them hard or ride consistently. I may ride for 3 days then they stay in the pasture for 2 weeks. I didn't...

I guess the bottom line is that whenever we have these polls, the clear majority say that CA's methods work for them better than Parelli's - by a 42 to 9 margin in a recent thread. I would avoid...

Riding western for a year does not in anyway qualify you to discern one rider from another in terms of ability. Please elaborate what TYPE of western riding you were doing, because there is oceans...
