Ohh thats fun:) I love breaking horsess!!:)
No, usually you dont even start them at all til their 2. Well thats when I start training, its a good age to start. :)

Yeah! But you had someone else break Elite for you right? I brake and train my horses on my own. :) Its what I wanna do when I'm older too:)
And no I cant ride her.. You dont start breaking horses til their like 2 years. :)

No there not green, cuz their not broke yet. Neither of them no anything. Ive started teaching Zeke to lunge this week.
And yeah their both still growing.. Zekes only 2, he will probably end up like 15.2ish.. Maya only a weanling (like a year old) and shes already 13.2, she will probably be like 16hands.

:)
Just thinking about it.. It's alot of money to keep four horses! But out of all them Dez would be the only one to sell like now, because shes who I use the least. (Other than Maya whos only basically a baby still; and she looks like shes gonna be a great jumper!)
Yeah Dez has come a long way, thats another reason why I might sell her, cuz now thats shes good being worked, I want someone to use her. (cuz I will be busy with my new guys, and might not have alot of time to ride her.)

My new guys (Zeke and Maya) arent even green. They only know how to lead. Ive just started teaching Zeke to lunge. Im hoping to break him this summer, than show him at least walk/trot next year. (he's only 2, so he still needs time to grow)
And Mayas only a weanling, so I wont start her until next summer.

Thanks! Me and Diamond try hard for eachother! :)
Dez is definetly better than she was before, she started to really resppond to her training, then everything was good between us:)
And no I'm not gonna show Dez. Shes not cut out for showing.. I might breed her this year, then maybe sell her as a broodmare/trail horse/ pleasure.. Not sure, I dont really want to but now that I have 4 horses, I might need to get rid of the one I dont use as much. (which is Dez, cuz I only use her for trail and pleasure riding.
And the new ones names are Zeke and Maya.. I posted pics of them. Maya is a bay, and Zeke is a greyish kind of color. I think hes gonna grow out of his coat tho, cuz hes still young. Well so is she :)

Hahahah isnt the spring fever fun? ;) Good thing shes okay! :)
Hahahah, I love ponies like that! Soo much fun! :)
My ponies are all good! Hopefully in two weeks Im taking Diamond in her second show.. I still have to send in the entry form and for dressage shows you have to make sure you get it in early cause the classes fill up fast!
Dez's training is going well, I only ride her once or twice a week, cuz I only use her as a trail horse. With Diamond I have to ride her pretty much everyday to train for the shows. Bet you know what thats like!:)
And yeah I got 2 new ones! Zeke and Maya:)

Basically, just push him into the contact. ;)
So how have your horsess been doing?:)

Hey, Yeah Diamond and I went in her first show on May 2nd. She did really well for her first show.. I am so proud of her! :)
And thanks! :)
Well, I started without, but then my riding instructor said to put them on her, but I only rode her in them for that one lesson because I dont like them.. I think they make the horse "tuck" (go behind the bit) instead of actually accepting the contact. So its up to you really.. You could put a martingale on him? That would at least not let him put his head too high.
My advice when teaching them to go on the bit is to "sea-saw" on his mouth but keep your leg pushing him forward, then he will want the release of the pressure on his mouth, so as soon as you feel him start to put his head down, give him the rein. Because you don't want to keep pulling, then when he does do wht you want, you still have the pressure on his mouth; he will be confused hahah. :) If you get any of that. Its kinda hard to explain lol.

Ya, the snows gone so its good to ride outside now! And yes, Dez is the paint that I'm riding bareback.. her hair is just that color because she is shedding out her winter coat.. it will darken more when summer comes. :)

they r!!!!

That would be sweet!!

p.s. they r soooooooooo tiny and cute

Ya i did too!!! JUMPERS ROCK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Yeah but if we had fun that's all that matters! When calvin knocked a rail he kinda hesitated to the fence, and he got a 4 in a half striding instead of 4.

p.s. guess what? my guinea pigs had 3 babies. i know have 5.

That's great!! Hope he continues beong like that!

Congradulations! I also had a show with Calvin! We got all first and one third in hunters and third on the warm-up! Then we did jumpers also and got 4th and we knocked down a rail.

p.s its fine

Thanks again!! I cant wait to see pics of your horses!
P.S. I am 10 years old. My Birthday was in March.

Thanks so much!! That's so sweet of you to say that when you don't even know me! I thimk you are a great rider too! you look like you are coming along so well with your pony and new pony!

I wish that i could do that.

ya
