Definitely sounds like spanish walk.
Fabriano offspring have a reputation for being very rideable with great temperments. I have also found this to be true in my experience. Lucky you!! ...

Thanks for all the replies everyone. I looked on the map from Boyleheightskid and our area does have low selenium so I will try starting my horse on a selenium suppliment.
All the horses DO have...

oh, good point Cosmonster, yes they are usually all turned out on grass for about 6-7 hours a day. But right now it is so muddy that they are not going out as much. Since they have been in more my...

the footing is rubber, sort of ground tire material on a hard clay base. The rubber is about 3 inches deep. The stalls have stall mats and about 1 inch of sawdust. I don't consider that much...

At the barn where I currectly board there are more recurring cases of horses with sore backs than I have ever seen together in one barn. The horses with sore backs have different owners, different...

depends if they are buying a gelding, mare or stallion. It cost me at least $10,000 to import my mare last year but it is less for a gelding and more for a stallion. I know the flight to New York...

We all know the saying practice makes perfect. Do not wait until you are ready to show prelim and then start learning to sit the trot! Start now so that you will know how to sit when you are ready...

Are you talking about a USEF dressage test or an eventing dressage test? If you are talking about "dressage-dressage" then you are not talking about training level, but rather first level test 1. In...

Can you give us some more info on the type of farm it will be? Quarter horse farms tend to have different types of names than dressage stables for example. So, what discipline will be ridden there,...

Poor JoZ, you have had some terrible luck lately. You must have very strong bones to have not broken anything! Do you have a high calcium diet or something? I am curious if their are any factors...

Sorry to hear that you are in a cast as well, Milocalwinnings :( Why did you start to pass out in the middle of your stadium course?

I am sitting here bored to death with my leg in a cast. My horse slipped and fell on me. I guess I'm lucky only my leg is broken but I don't feel very lucky. I really miss riding.
How many of...

My hanoverian sausage wears a black country eloquence. My hopelessly shaped, no withered other hanoverian doesn't have a saddle yet that fits her. :(

In addition to what everyone else already said, see if you can turn him out in the indoor / ring where you plan on riding before you ride him in there. This will give him a chance to investigate...

It looked like LH to me as well. He is really adorable. I hope you can get a second opinion from a vet.
Also, my horse recently had a not-quite-right subtle lameness that the vets couldn't...

Elimika: Adorable ponies! Now I have some more questions. Do you think the billet straps are long enough to fit a horse, or are they made on the short side to fit a pony? I tried to try the...

Yes, it's hard not to be too soft on your own horse, especially when it's a young horse. But being a bit stricter about her response to the leg aid will really help you. I think your elbow problem...

oh I am so sorry to hear that about your mare! Sincere condolences :(

:confused:


Nothing behind?? This is a pony being ridden by a child, how much more engagement do you expect a child to be able to create? Is it cruelty to horses that 90% of american hunter...
