    Recently I've gotten the opportunity to buy a young mare (4 years old) who I'm told is an amazing and gentle horse. I've been told that she'd be an amazing therapy horse and other things like that. But the current owner wants a breeding contract, where the mare is bred to a stud and then the...

    Hey, guys, so I’m at a loss and I feel like such a failure as a horse owner. I have had my Tennessee walker mare for a year now. She’s 15 years old and when I met her I loved her! She was amazing everything I wanted! So I bought her. Well, a year later and I still can’t do anything with her...

    Hi, this is my first horse so I don’t really know what to do to solve this. I have a 4 year old cob cross gelding that I have owned for about 2 months now. Most of the time won’t do anything but walk. I have tried lunging him but he doesn’t respond to any whip. Sometimes he won’t even walk, just...
  7. Western Riding General Queries
    What are all the movements for telling your horse what to do through legs? I trained with a person who didnt teach me the best of ways and I am wanting to be educated so I can properly ride my horse. I know to turn you use the opposite leg and move it back but what about the other movements?

    I started looking for a haflinger about a month ago. There were a handful in my state in my price point, and I looked at 2 with appointments set for 3 more. I saw a posting for a 17 year old mustang mare, and something about her just made me want to see her. She was only half an hour away and I...

    As it seems, to my great joy, I will finally be owning and taking care of a horse of my own soon. I met the gelding yesterday, he's a gorgeous 15hh (roughly), five year old Quarter horse. Very sweet and fairly easy going. Two to three years ago, while wearing a halter and lead he went to eat...
