haha ya that is true that everyone has different training methods. i totally agree with u :D
Im still off for a few more weeks so no shows for me. how Bout u?
Ya thats wut i thought.....ya it would be a good idea to just show ur horse (if thats wut u r gonna do) in walk/trot at that age...but i also heard that if u ride a horse to much when they r younger then two year olds then something happens to their back i dun know....i could be wrong though.....but i knew it wuzznt a good idea to ride a horse to soon...Not until they r atleast 2 like u said.
Ya i do find that race horses start out very young but i know theres a reason to that atleast i thought there wuz a reason..but i dun know im not a jockey...lol i dont race horses ;P
Ya breaking and training horses is fun! :P
Ya but isnt it kinda bad in a way to start to ride horses when they r too young?...thats wut i heard atleast.
Well i do 4 now...but once he calms down a lot more and i get my strength back in my arm im gonna train him from there......
ya i kinda figured that she wuz too young to ride now....do u lunge her then??
Oh ya thats so true...lol sorry i wuznt thinking there........lol
But ya its gonna be fun training them! I cant wait to start training Elite
:P Those r good heights for your two new horses. Since Maya is only a weanling, can u ride her or is she too young?
Ya well its your choice on wut to do and i agree it does get expensive keeping four horses...
Wow your new horses sound cute...and they r not green?! thats good then and have u ridden Zeke yet? or maya? They sound like they are going to turn out to be amazing show horses!
So they r still growing right? do u know how tall they r going to be?
Ya i can tell u and diamond make a perfect match..lol :P
So wait im confused r u selling dez or not or r u just thinking bout it? Well if u have to train the other two new ones it would be good to focus on them with their training, and not have to worry about working with one that u dont use much, but u do w/e u want. I mean u have done well with dez she looks like shes improved so thats really good!
Your new ones sound cute...and i saw the pictures they r cute. Im guessing they r still green right?
R they going to be ur future show horses/ponies?
Oh ya spring fever is great! Ya im glad to know that shes okay too!.
Well good luck in your shows. ;)!!! Diamond is looking really good lately.
And dez is looking much better. LOL you've done well!
Pretty much its the same as like u said how dressage classes fill up fast. its pretty much the same wit hunter and jumper....you wanna defs get their early to the show!
R u going to show dez this show season?
kk will do! lol
my horses have been pretty good, i mean they all have spring fever so they r all hyper.
the gurl who is currently training elite fell off, but she is fine :)
cabreo is just being cabreo once spring and summer comes he gets spring fever and takes off a lot
hes the same in winter too, hyper and bolts like crazy! but im sooo used to it that its no big deal, i just laugh after...lol!
how have your ponies been? did u get new ones!?
Ahaha thanks for the advice :). i do actually wear a martingale on cabreo, i started not to wear it after awhile cause i lost it...lol... i put it back on him wen he started to throw his head around a lot. it helped and i noticed he started to tuck his head in more.
i kinda get wut u r trying to say, but then again it gets confusing at parts...lol :D
but thanks 4 the advice though! :P
Heey did u go in a horse show with diamond?!..wow hes looking good! haha and so do u! Heey just a question, did u train diamond to frame his head like that or do u make him do that? cause i really want to train cabreo to frame his head like that and i dont know if u have to start by using draw reins or not.
Hi Jenna I will be showing Jasper for the first time, so I will hope he is a good boy. What area of Ottawa are you in, perhaps someone from where I am (west of ottawa) will be near you,.
Hi Jenna,
You look super on diamond! How did you do at you horse show with him? I'm sure it was a great experience not matter the outcome! Go Jenna! Julianne from Napanee, Ontario, Canada
