    Jogging is trotting, as far as how fast, just depends on the horse! As a rider, I would try and get the horse to use himself correctly from behind and not let the horses get on the forehand. Of...

    It's not a far fetched dream at all... in fact it is pretty attainable. My best advice would be for her to find a summer job (once she is old enough) on a TB farm. One that breaks babies would be...

    I grew up riding with Hank when we were kids... if I had to use one word to describe him it would be "fearless"...he's an awesome rider and a cool guy too!

    Howdy Duckz! I'm a fan of Cosequin, and have used it for years. It's really helped with mild arthritis in some of my TB's, and I can tell the differrence when using it vs not. You could also add...

    I know this horse, just not sure why. Was he standing at O'Sullivan Farm? If so than maybe thats it... if not, maybe we were looking to buy him at one point? I'll have to remember to ask my...

    Good analogy Laurie! And yes, I would conclude based on what was said that respected trainer is knowingly running a sore horse.

    For #28, you just rank the questions...so if price is your main concern, you pick one...athletic ability 2, and so on. Took me a minute to figure it out!

    So just to be fair...would it be right to conclude that your friend cheats and that's why he still has horses to train? Just not buying it.

    And maybe not, but I dont think it's nice to come on the internet and accuse someone of cheating just because horses are running good for them.

    You know take a breath..sometimes it just goes like that, and it doesnt always mean someone is a cheater. Different trainers use different methods, and although I detest a jip, I've seen trainers...

    With those kinds of owners, you know when your hired your going to get fired... just a matter of time.

    Dont quote me om this, but I believe the TRF now requires a $3000 dollar fee to retire a horse with them... I'm sure MG could afford that, since he claims to have made so much money at this game.;)
