  1. General English Riding Queries
    So I have my rising 6 y/o 17'3 and change generic brand warmblood (perch x tb) and I was wondering when it would be appropriate to move him up into the 3'0 jumpers.

  3. Horse Talk
    Hello! After years of convincing, I've finally got my parents to get me on the saddle. As a long term goal with my riding, I have my eyes set on jumping at the grand prix level. I ride three times a week on school horses, and my parents are looking into leasing or buying a horse in the next...
  4. Warmbloods and Sport Horses
    Okay so I noticed a horse online that cantered the same as a horse I used to ride, which I hated the style of canter. So I asked the trainer what the difference was between this horse and her other horses and she said "(Horse's name) is a low mover with a big jump. He is very unorthodox in the...

  7. Horse Conformation Queries and Critique
    I'm not sure her breed but she is about 14.2 hands and I am very bad at critiquing confirmation. I'm planning to do the jumpers with her and probably no jumping higher than 3'3. Thanks!
  8. Horse Shows
    Hi all, Does anyone have some advice as to what name I would show my lease QH/Paint Alaska under next season at schooling shows?

  10. Ridden Showing, Hunter/Jumper, Equitation
    Hi there! I'm interested in a gelding at my stables that is an incredible jumper (can jump at least up to 4 feet). The problem is, he's a total hunter horse. He has that incredible hunter form but he's super slow (like a hunter). I was wondering how easy is it to switch a horse from hunters to...

  14. Ridden Showing, Hunter/Jumper, Equitation
    So I was planning to do jumpers with the horse I just bought. But I would also like to do hunters first and I'm guessing I'm going to have to buy a new bridle since mine is a figure 8. They will disqualify me with that type of bridle, correct? Also I had question about my bit. I heard that any...
