Good job Cathy! Athough I am concerned that the lined sheets are just that with a rubberized lining inside the sheet. I have one of these and I don't use it without a cotton, terry or fleece liner because it does cause the horses to sweat in any wea…
Does she kick the farrier as well? Possibly some desensitizing would help? If you have never worked with a green horse before possibly you should enlist the help of an experienced assistant, one who has worked with green horses before. Even someone…

I have a senior (26yr) that I blanket throughout the winter, he doesn't work much and is our school master. I started blanketing when I notice he wasn't staying warm no matter how much I fed him and kept losing condition, it was like he could eat en…
Linda, I went to that Youtube site and those options are really great. Although I wasn't too crazy about the nets, I new a friend whose horse was left unattended and got her front leg caught in the net which was hanging too low. True it was one with…
What are slow feeders? I have never heard of them I don't think. My horses are out 24/7, don't vaccinate unless there is something going around or we plan to be showing or socializing with others ie. boarders, clinics, trail rides etc. Our morgans (…
This group is for anyone who loves morgan horses. Looking for stories and heros from the morgan horse world.
Mounting blocks are great! I have trouble with my knees and left hip (had a fall years ago), old injuries hurt more as we get older. Trouble is my horses have mixed feelings about the block, it does take sometime to get them used to it.

Don't You DARE Apologize for being straightforward, frank, sincere, and HONEST!!
Actually, You’ve NO Idea how Much I Appreciate Your “Reality Check”
Your comment … those are the kinds of things “friends” tell one another.….hmmmmm…. Some Very Good food for thought in your words.
I’ll definitely be mulling them around as I decide about this filly.
If I were to get her … fortunately, I will have at least one or two other horse(s) to ride, while I wait for the filly to grow.
I was thinking of her more as an on going “project”
But your words REALLY brought something home to me … I need to revise my will, to Make Certain that “if” something happens to me … my will executor, will know Exactly what to do with regards to “placing” them.
……Thanks my friend

Thanks for the reply about Western riding. I guess I meant I would need a different horse that isn't scared of his saddle, in order to put one of those enormous western saddles on! I do use quite a lot of round penning with him already and I have tried Parelli's methods in the past, but I now feel that Parelli's techniques are quite aggressive with all the rope twirling and stick waving and they miss the subtlety of the body language that Chris Irwin has identified. I have found Chris Irwin's methods to be much more horse-friendly in every sense for me. I can see that it would be possible to adapt some of Parelli's 'games' in a useful way, but with more awareness of how we position our own bodies in relation to the horse. As with everything, a little knowledge is a dangerous thing, and I am sure I made my horse's fear worse by trying to use Parelli's techniques. Ho hum... I have forgiven myself for 'not knowing what I didn't know' and my horse is starting to do the same, at last.
Interesting that you use different 'aids' in Western riding though. I wish I knew how to find it, but someone emailed me a brilliant YouTube video of two riders, one Western, one English, doing the most amazing 'duet' of dressage in an arena. It was incredible - there was the guy in the cowboy hat on a little quarter horse, and this other guy in a top hat and tails riding a great big warmblood, doing exactly the same moves at the same time! Then they swapped over horses and did exactly the same again on each other's horses! Amazing! If I can find the link, I'll post it.
Well, I'm coming to Alberta in August, so who knows maybe one day I'll make it out to BC and come and visit you! It looks a truly beautiful place.

- Hi Cindy
Got the saddle on without help tonight, so something is working. Very pleased. He was still braced and couldn't bring himself to breathe in case it ate him, but he did everything I asked without panicking, so that is a good thing.
Oh, and I looked up Doug Mills on the internet - looks interesting. I guess a lot of these guys have learned a lot of what they know from Ray Hunt and Tom Dorrance. It fascinates me that there are all these horse trainers in Canada and the USA who are using these very similar methods. I think British horse training has traditionally come from the military, although I think if you come across a true 'horseman' in this country, he is generally equipped with similar qualities even if the techniques are different. I'd love to try Western riding - but I'd definitely need a different horse to do it with!

One of my minis did this too so we put the fence boards farther apart so he couldn't rub. You could also try putting wire mesh fencing on the wooden fencing so your mini can't reach through at all

Thank you so much, Barbara, for this late-breaking and outstanding news from the FEI--I was not holding my breath about this decision because frnkly, I didn't think it would happen, but I am so happy with their absolute stand against hyperflexion!!…
