ive been thinking about my little mare and how she doesn't just measure up to the big moving horses. i thought about how riders with big moving paces can just think about their test, flexion, regularity etc. whereas i have to also think about influencing her movement,and trying to get the medium paces also. that makes it much harder.

Hi: what have you experienced in your estimation of final height in a horse? is the string from knee to fetlock then pulled up effective? do you have another method which seems to work? what age do they work best from???? cheers

How much is too much? Some trainers suggest not working the young horse too much, or very often, especially if a warmblood, to prevent long-term injury. Other trainers believe that if you're not at level 5 or 6 by 6 years old, you aren't progressing fast enough. My trainer noticed yesterday that delph is bum high, so is still growing-as you would expect with only being 4. And she is so amiable, and training so well, that we are moving forward. If we stayed at the same level, she would be…

i have been so lucky with my little hano/tb. she is 4 yrs 3 mo now, and has been such a pleasant horse to start. we can go to shows-have been to 5 different facilities-including one that was many hours away. we can also go to the forest for hacks with her mum or on her own, or even... with others-not such a good idea. i mean someone saying that they tend to let their app choose it's own pace, should have warned me- and cantering down a hill is not a good idea. lovely delph though, just kind…

My name is Gary Glaser and I am the mounted commander of the 9th New York Cavalry. We are located in the Niagara, Hamilton area but have members across Southern Ontario. Our members are both mounted and diss-mounted troopers. The Ninth New York Cavalry has been reactivated by a group of living historians and civil war enthusiasts interested in the portrayal of the life of the Federal Horse Soldier. As a group, we participate in living history encampments, re-enactments, and giving informative lectures throughout the year in both Ontario and the U.S.
To see more of what we do as a hobby please go to these two You tub site, this first one is a large event that unfortunately none of our members were participating in but do know most of the riders- it was held in Gettysburg, PA http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PBCgFdTWLx4.
This next one is a small event held in Canada at Upper Canada village, all riders are members of the 9th NY Cavalry and you will notice that I ride a Stander bred cross: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BCx3Xkn9Wuc
If you have any question please do not hesitate to ask. This hobby is family friendly, and a great way to spend a weekend with you horse.
Thank You
Gary Glaser
Sgt. 9th NY Cavalry CO.A

Barbara F. said… My retired horse, Donnie, is a Donnerhall son. His mother is a Raphael daughter, Raphaela Girl.
I can't begin to tell you how much joy that wonderful horse has brought into my life! I did everything with him and had him for 8 and a half years and he was sound for the whole time, but then a few months ago, he developed a sharp lameness. I almost had a heart attack. He has something very unusual - a bone cyst in his elbow.
Anyway, I could have ridden him on "maintenance" but he deserved much more.
I gave him to my friend Helen (she's on here too). She has a farm where she and her husband and daughter live, and they have seven horses, including Donnie. She and her daughter ride him occasionally and the rest of the time he is outside most of the day with his friend Rascal, or in his double sized stall.
He is so good that the daughter, who is 12 and TINY, can just hop on him any time and go around. Helen rides him a bit too, so he has a bit of everything. What a GOOD BOY he is!!
I now have a new horse named Caspari. Very different than Donnie, but still that phenomenal temperament that I can't live without. I am very lucky to have found another good boy.
What about you?

Geoffrey Pannell said… Hi Vickie, Don't be put off this site by a couple of tossers!! There are more nice people than those couple of idiots that have been giving all of us grief. That Alan Buck is a capital T tosser!! I've had a couple of run in's with him also, the man thinks he knows it all, yet he wont post a single pic of himself riding or one of his pupils (if he has any). He's all talk, and the moment you disagee he gets nasty. Life is too short to be bothered with the likes of people like that.
You have some valuable life experiences that are good to be shared on a site like this with like minded people. I've been on this site for a while now and the good far outweight the bad. So, stick around.
Cheers Geoffrey
