Oooh, yeah, he's a dandy looking fellow.
A TB with 'stayer' type (as opposed to 'sprinter' type) is not altogether a common critter these days.
Stayers mature later, and have more long, lean,...

Ironically, the AQHA does have quality requirements for half Thoroughbred offspring of an AQHA regular studbook parent. The appendix registry will give 'regular' papers to a half-TB that performs in...

Can I vote this as the best answer yet to Paula's question? :D

Oh dear, yes Paula, that is a horse that does not understand what the bit means. He is pulling and gapping and the rider is...

Paula, there is such a thing as western riding that has a horse in a snaffle for its basic education. For two or three years, or more (or even for the life of the horse) if the rider hasn't made a...

Whoa....uh, maybe when you go to college you should take some courses in economics. And marketing.

If you limit breeding, you have to make up for your income somewhere else. It costs money to...

A foaling stall when the mare foals is a good idea.
But please don't keep the foal in a stall all its life after you wean it.

There's a reason most good breeders/producers raise them in groups....

I have good luck with Title Nine Sports, they are all about putting the appropriate sports bras on the right ladies.

I find that riding is as high-impact as it gets. I'm...

I think he's from a Cleveland BayXWelsh Cob sire and Morgan/Standardbred dam.

My TBs and QHs all toss their heads around like that if they're feeling sassy.

Amen.
I asked my helper if I should use spurs on my horse- he rides my horse in spurs.
He replied that I'd just p!$$ my horse off.

A week later, at the Buck Brannaman clinic, I heard Buck state...

So...I've been thinking...

There is a place not too far from here that has captive lions. Like, 'Lion King', roaring, lions.
Ten years ago and more, we used to take stillborn calves,...

Disclaimer:
If you WANT to go win at reining, which can be really fun, please disregard the following.

A horse cannot make an athletic move after a cow, if he learns to use the inside hind foot...

Me, not really unless it's a nursing mare and she'll adopt an orphaned/twin calf.

As for a naturally 'really quiet', slow moving horse to put a novice/cousin/auntie on, they don't work very well....

If you keep your eyes open, you might find some Mexican/Central American or South American braiding- there are some fabulous gaucho braiders out there, and their work tends to be a lot less expensive...

Don't forget Sandy Bonelli and her mare Shakin Flo- they won a LOT in 1997, if I remember right.

My horse will come get me, put the saddle next to me, so I can get on.
I start climbing, he puts the saddle nearby. Stump, tailgate, 4-wheeler, fence, tractor, stock trailer fender, whatever.

I JUST got my new bosal in the mail.

It was made by retired Boise heart surgeon Dr. Kirby Orme. It is obvious that Dr. Orme is good with his hands! His 'maker's mark' is a walking heart brand.

:D
Love that long neck!
Body balance wise, he could be a little more uphill for ideal as a dressage horse, but he's absolutely withers high. He has a lovely long hip, and what looks like well put...

I would so love to have an old-time bred Morgan like Tee's, with that bone, toughness and a lofty trot. I went shopping for one in the mid 90's, couldn't find one. I did find lots of Saddlebred-type,...

Oh man I want the gray stallion...need an OTTB stallion like a hole in the head.
I can dream, though, and I'd cross him on some cow-bred AQHA mares and make some ground-covering ranch horses....

Oh, hey now, if the horse will pick his feet up, you can go over, instead of around the rabbitbrush!!...maybe not the big deer sage or bitterbrush, tho...

Amen!

When a rider is really invested in how they look to other people, the horse 'makes them look bad' by 'mis-behaving'.
If, and when, the rider/handler can let GO of what all the other peoples...

My little cutting horse will really jump if we flush a bird or rabbit out of a sagebrush.
My (formerly, mostly) deeply troubled TB just looks and says, yeah, rabbit.
I, on the other hand, spook...

OK, so what I was thinking wasn't quite right. Mindy was blocking/having Annie run into pressure when she pushed her shoulder in toward you, not when she tried to lean against the lead. I'll go watch...

Thanks for sharing, DLee.
I just LOVE chestnut TB mares :)
This looks like what happens when MY helper takes my horse- bumps and 'hey, stop that' all over where I am missing something!
And then I...
