Looks like she could care less what you're doing. Yes, still small, but she will be looking nice when she grows and gets muscle on her. Keep up the good work!

Sorry to hear. :( Sounds like he was a good ol boy. Done his good deeds and life, now he's taking his rest.

Good to hear she's doing better. It would help if you rode her everyday, but probably don't need to. As long as she still views you as the leader and listens to you, you're on the right path.

Just thought I'd share the video I took at the auction. Not many buyers there, but the steer went for $10,000. Sold by the head. That was sure a nice steer, with an amazing clip job. I asked the kid if he had a fitter, but he said he clipped him himself. I wanted to put my hands on that steer...

Well, my mare's the boss. She could push cows around and manipulate them in ways only a lead mare can :lol2: I think they have penning and the like at the local rodeo grounds, I'd have to check though. The gelding that hates steers, isn't afraid of them, but he's slow and only really can track...

:lol: I clicked this thread and looked away from the monitor for a second and looked back like "Wh-what the? Angoras!" :) I think they're pretty nice looking. We used to have some we planned to show, but could never get their paper work, and it was just way too hot that year and we kept...

Nice brindle she's chasing there :lol2: I'd love to use one of my horses for team penning and just cow chasing. One hates steers, the mare will chase anything, tried her on the minis once and she can sure track. A lot of horses that pivot incorrectly, can come from people rushing into the...

Congrats! She's a looker too. I'm sure you are very proud of her. I noticed though, she doesn't stay on the right hind leg when pivoting.

There are plenty of horses that do just fine by themselves, and could really care less if they had a buddy or not, others at the most will have an anxiety episode and scream and have a fit. How far away is you brother? You don't have a place somewhere where you can keep her on yours? Even if you...

Good looking horse. Got a name? Mare? Gelding? Colt? What's it's job going to be?

Spinandslide's got it. If she bites while you're riding too, boot her in the nose until she gets the hint. We've had to fix a horse or two like that when they try for the upper hand. Same with the bucking and crowhopping issue, if a horse is turned around head to butt, they can't do much. We...

Is this the first time you've ridden her in the new tack? If so, she might be objecting to it. If it were me, I would seperate her from that jenny. If she doesn't see you as the authority and gets herd bound, you aren't going to get much done with her. Break the bond now while you can. We have...

Good! That's great to hear! Just stay where she's comfortable like you're doing. Get that good solid foundation on her. Any pictures or anything?

I have a QH that doesn't know how to run (seriously, our trainer even agreed). By that I mean, he can move, he doesn't use his gaits right. When he trots, he has a lot of knee action going on. His hooves almost go up and touch his belly and he plods back down on his front feet hard. Yesterday we...

Just wondering if you got to work with her? How did it go?

I would've liked to see that :lol2:

I don't like the Parelli's, nor listen to what they say. I believe I stated that earlier in this thread. And the horse has to focus on getting the job done before it gets the reward, so yes, they are focused on the job. Clicker training isn't all about the food once they learn something. Then...

Congrats on the great job! I'm just a little disappoint there are no pictures or video :cry2: but that's ok! I'm sure it was a wonderful experience watching the teamwork in the ring. We had a couple guys here that did the EMM and Sept. 13 at our rodeo grounds they had them demonstrating...

Just a shot, but do you ever look on craigslist for your areas? If you have activity in the farm and garden area, there may be people there with used great quality saddles, all sizes. Loads here in Arizona. Most are in the $500 range here but have seen some wonderful saddles for $150-$250 that I...

Hence why the FIRST THING you teach that horse is begging, nosing and shoving WILL NOT get it treats. Then you shouldn't have that problem if you start off with the correct leadership. When the horse turns away and doesn't pay attention to the food, then you reward it. Done correctly, you...
