It depends, what do you mean "Natural Horsemanship"? It means different things to different people.

Unfortunately there is no "cure" for EPM even thought if caught early enough the horse can seem to be cured, they can relapse. Marquis is a great treatment and can make your horse just like new, but depending on how far advanced the disease is, it might not work at all. It's very expensive, but...

Try riding her in a treeless saddle or with just a bareback pad. That was you'll know if it's a saddle fitting issue. I'd definately check for soreness as well. Does she stop after she's turned in one certain direction? Try and figure out what she was doing before she stopped. If all medical and...

Oh and I voted for arabs. Most of them are too high strung for my tastes. I hate a horse that will spook at the drop of a hat. I know not all arabs are that way, but most of the ones that I've come accross are flighty, high strung, tempermental, and some too smart for their own good. I try never...

Hey! What's wrong with their owners? ;-) I own a Walker, a percheron and a paint, (well she was a paint, she greyed out to solid white. 24 years old) My walker is the best horse I've ever owned. My kids 14 and 8 ride him in the pasture with no halter, bridle, saddle or even a rope tied around...

Well it all depends, depending on his training, health and wether or not he's an easy keeper. Higher level training, totally sound and easy to maintain I'd pay between $3,000 to $4,000. Lower level training, $2,000 to $3,000 Minimal training, soundness issues, and a hard keeper, $1,000 to $1,500...

LOL...suprisingly that is an option. Lots of show people use extensions on their horses tail. Don't ask me why. :D MTG-Mane and Tail Groom. You can get it at most horse places, or by mail. It would never brush your horses mane or tail when they are wet. The hair will stretch and weaken, making...

I'm with you! My horse glides, but he will canter, right before he breaks into a gallop. :D

As mares get older, it becomes harder for them to catch when bred. Since she's a maiden, she might not take at all. If you do decide to breed her, have a vet come and take a look to see if everything is clean and bacteria free. Sometimes older horses' vulva will tilt up letting in bacteria and...

We don't have any feral mustangs over here, but I bought a couple of Spanish Mustangs from Wy and had them shipped here along with 4 more for a friend of mine. The spanish type mustangs have one less vertabre than all other horses, therefor shorter, stronger back. So they can carry more weight...

There are lots of horses that can handle the weight that you mentioned without a problem, however, balance will be an issue. You mentioned that it's been a while since you've ridden so most likely, your going to have to find your "seat" again. I know I did when I got back into riding after a few...
