[QUOTE="jbar, post: 483918, member: 2579"] the best horse i started was more like what your wife is saying. i bought him from an old timer that raises some nice horses. he had a pen of about 25 head all running together. i had bred some of his mares to my paint stud and there was a paint filly out of my stud in this bunch.i went to look her over but a big bay stud colt (18 mounth old) was in the group.and bay is my color so i maid a deal for him. these colts had never had human hands on them just fed them and looked at em.we ran him in the cattle pens put a halter on him in the cattle chute alley way and ran him in my cattle trailer. got him to the barn (at the time i was riden colts for ray payne)put him in a stall let him drag a lead rope the rest of the day and all night. next morning i led him across the hall way into the arena let him stand tried while i rode the colts that where already started. i messed with him between horses( brushed him ,saddle blanket on his back)next day same only saddled him and let stand with saddle just mainly taking it slow. 3rd day was on his back,just going slow no hurry. the thing about training a horse is you need to have more time than the horse.i am afraid for me those day are over.to much wife training and dog training maybe by the time i get back to training horses the market will be better. :cboy: by the way i still have this horse he is a aqha three bars and thermo socks breeding my 5year old son rides him know.
