MacabreMikolaj

Sorry, I'm not on Facebook - but wait, your name is Mikolaj Falk? My name is Zoe Falk! :) (I'm married in, so if you ask if I'm related to so-and-so I probably won't know... but I can ask my husband!)

I mostly just ride around our own property and the surrounding roads, we don't have a trailer right now. We're hoping to get one this fall though.

Hey, nice to meet another Manitoban on the forum. :) I've been around horses since I was little, but just recently I'm starting to take some lessons and maybe attend a show or two. Perhaps I'll see you around!

Ahahahaha! I love your avatar!

I see you, come out and play

Happy Birthday, Macabre.

Ah, actually, the level croup is a breed characteristic... a more slanted croup indicated power while the flat croup indicated stamina. ;)

I do believe that the modern halter horse is simply a desert horse to the extreme. Yes, fine bones are good for desert travel, wide, dished, and "dry" faces were created for the desert war horse, but too much becomes too much.

Unfortunately no one will change "styles" until the judges do, because that's what wins. Speaking of judging, I think it's very impractical that the horse is running around the handler in the arena, being shanked back, ect. which makes it almost impossible to judge the horse's true movement. I love fire in my arabs but I would still like to see a horse that can WALK on a loose rein for more than a fleeting second.

Have you even seen that painting from 1972 of the "ideal arab"? http://www.horsegroomingsupplies.com...GBEArabian.jpg

Really? So you are saying that it's a colour that only happens in Kigers, then saying that they are not different or unique... It doesn't matter what the Kiger people refer to the colour as. That...

Get a rope halter! I use them on my weanling plus in my opinion they are a safer for horse and handler :-D.

Maybe people aren't forced to participate, and I guess I'm not being forced to watch either but yeesh talk about weird and painful looking. And these are the people downtalking Rolkur?? At least...

I have to agree with AF. If this new sport is going to be Western, then the rider should ride one handed, neck rein and have a very light contact. I could not do that . absolutely could not get...

In my opinion, in that video, there is way too much contact on a curb for it to be a good example of western riding. I really dislike how western dressage is reinventing english carriage. I would...

Against obviously. BUT.... Let me play devil's advocate here. I guarantee you without exception that any Big Lick owner/exhibitor that shows that way will tell you "WELL, it DOES happen, but...

You have to remember, most registries do not register 'brown' horses as browns, they register them as 'dark bay', especially in Throughbreds. I personally think 'dark bay' is an outdated term to...

I might applaud his honesty if he wasn't making the same mistakes himself. His horses might be fine and dandy for riding nowhere if you don't care when you get there but he is no hand with a horse....

Collection is when a horse "sits" down on its haunches, drives from behind, LIFTS up through the back, and lift through the base of the neck, creating a very light front end. Think hind end down,...

What you discribe is a badly trained stallion and one that has never been socialised properly. In the uk the M&M show ring is full of well trained well socialised stallions and shock horror they...

You and me both, but probably not for the same reasons. :? When people refuse to see the LOGIC of something and would rather wring their hands, clutch their pearls and cry crocodile tears, yet...

Am I reading this right? You ride your horse "for a few hours.." THEN need a crop SUUUPERRR hard? Maybe you need to rethink your rides. Perhaps she is not conditioned to be ridden "a few...

"Silver" grulla is a marketing ploy designed to sell horses that are "fancy" and "rare". A grulla of any shade is caused by a black horse having a dun gene. The silver cast to the colouring could be...

I admire you for undertaking such a rescue but do question whether it is best for the horse. I think the owner was wrong to allow the horse to go away from the property where he has lived for so...

OP, I sure wish you hadn't started this thread with such unflattering photos of your horse. It would have been prudent to have waited until you had the time to thoroughly groom and present him well. ...
