Hello! I'm new here! :) I have a couple questions; I've been working at a therapeutic ranch for a while (though most of their lessons are for non-therapy riders), and have been wondering a few things. I work on cleaning, grooming, tacking and helping with lessons so I barely ride, but I do...

Hey all! I'm typing this quickly at work, so forgive any glaring mistakes. I have a 22yo QH; she's a lesson horse- ridden five days of the week, at most two hours riding a day, usually not with me. She's a trooper, as most lesson horses are, and that's not at all me saying she's overworked-...

Hello everyone! I’m new to this forum and I have some questions. I’m a beginner rider and have just started cantering but have a decent posting trot(I ride English). Should I lease or just take lessons? I’ve only been taking lessons but they are quite expensive over time. Am I “ready” for a...

long story short, i switched farriers 2 months ago and recently switched to a new one after my horse had sudden lameness for two months. new farrier was upset to find my horse's heels were badly crushed, she was walking on her toes, and was so sore in the hamstrings she couldn't even trot. good...

I have a family looking for a sturdy beginner horse for a husband wife combo. Discipline doesn't matter, however having the option to do both western and English is preferred. W/t/c is a must(extra gaits are fine, we ride Standardbreds mostly) Willing to travel up to 6 hours. Closer the better...

Okay so my photos are noob photos taken on an iPhone but I have so much love for this big boy & our lesson was so fun yesterday that I had to share :-) Not that many care but here's the story; I've been riding a veeery slow gelding for the past 3 weeks due to wanting to improve my seat, so this...

Before I go on to my next lesson later this week I think I need some advice. I have a hard time with lesson horses. They always take advantage of me! And I know it's all my fault! I have this mentality that "this animal does not belong to me so I should be nice to it." In the past I've had no...

I've been riding since September. Usually, I ride a white gelding named Blue. He bites when I groom him, when I do up his girth, refuses to pick up his feet, and outright distrespects me. At first, he never did this. Now he does it everytime I come near him. I'm nervous to go anywhere near his...
