I have tried soaking it in hot water to melt the glue but that doesn’t seem to be the problem. It is attached inside with little plastic prongs. I want to get it apart to re-hair it. Any info would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you everyone for your great answers!
I hate to tell you this but the little plastic prongs are most likely glued with a plastic glue and they are now the strongest part of the model. There are ways to disassemble it but it will mess up the re hair part of the project.
Here’s what I would do. If you can get to the prongs you can cut them and then separate the parts. When you’re ready to reassemble lightly sand the area where the prongs where and reglue. It wont be quite as strong but it will hold. If when the prongs are cut they can’t be reglued you could add additional plastic strips on each half and glue to that. Wrap the model in some tape to hold when you reglue. Good luck and I hope this helps.
I’ve always been really curious as to how they trained horses to bow. Do any of you know? Thanks! 
lure his head down with a treat
sorry for asking this, I know its annoying when people do, but I’m bored and want peoples opinion
he is a 16hh AQH (possible appendix?) gelding
his dam is Coolwater Rose and his sire is Oh So Noble, his grand-sire is Noble Tradition (who won some world championship 4 times) he was bred at Coolwater QuarterHorses in canada
here is a bit on his bloodlines and where he was bred http://coolwaterquarterhorses.com/noble.html
here are some videos of him;
this one has his gaits and stuff,
heres some of his jumping
conformation
and just a cute one
he’s being trained in eventing, but is trained and shown right now as a hunter
so what do you think of his gaits/jump/conformation/bloodlines? thanks!
ya, he doesn’t tuck his legs for the bigger jumps because he gets deep 
we screwed up the spacing on acciedent
I like that he has a nice sloping shoulder and he has decent looking pasterns..really his conformation is pretty good all around. For jumping he could tuck better over the bigger fences but his form isn’t bad. I like how relaxed he seems over jumps, def. hunter! Good luck with him!
Ok, well I have a 6 yr old, 15 hand skipper w and leo bred QH mare. I’ve already started training her on barrels about a month ago, and she definitely knows the pattern already. But she’s still a little green and she bends her head real well, but not her body. She also knows how to pick up the right lead. She also rates real well. But when I ask her to pick up the lope, she blows past the first barrel. So I need some tips on bending. I try figure eights and spiraling in a circle, also flexing at the standstill. But nothing really seems to work. She has a long back and neck, so i don’t know if that affects it. Your answers will be appreciated! Oh, and I’m planning to go with my friend and trailer to a big barrel race with $14,000 dollars added. And this is in December so I’m hoping she will improve much!
Have you been practicing at the walk and trot??? she doesnt sound ready to be loping the pattern. Usually when a horse blows by a barrel the rider hasn’t cued the horse correctly for the turn.
This is why we practice at the walk and trot.
I put cones all around my barrel so a have a nice sized pocket.
When you practice slow you can get really close and not knock over barrel. But when you are running fast the horse leans in the turn like if you where on a bike. So if the horse is trained to go to close to the barrel when going slow then they will knock it down when going fast.
If you don’t have cones use gallon milk or water cartons. Put them at least a couple feet a way from the barrel. Then as you come up to the barrel you sit up slide hand down the rein on the side of your turn because you direct rein a barrel horse around a barrel ( not neck rein)
then you hold on to horn and brace yourself back. Which at the slow speeds ypu really don’t need to. But when you start running fast, You will relly need to be bracing back. so perfect practice slow make a perfect run fast. And you must not look down at barrel you must look at next barrel and turn your shoulders not just your head. You horse will feel you sit up brace and will slow herslf down for the up comming turn and then will follow your body to the next barrel.
A good barrel horse is controled more with your body than your reins.
and get more barrels and practice just going around different barrels in different patterns. lots of circles. but you must brace and direct rein. so the horse knows when to turn, also turnbacks on the rail helps alot. and leg yeilds and trot and canter. There is a barrel racing magizine and every month they have training tips by some of the top barrel racer in the country. check it out.
My friend recently purchased a green broke appy. She’s 6 yrs old and is known to buck people off. What training would help her?
If I ever take in a horse who is known to buck, I always do lots of lounging work as opposed to riding work. I really like to pin point the cause of the behavior first…but if the bucking is really consistent I will dummy them. Meaning, I will put a weighted dummy on their back, secure it there and continue my lounge lesson. Each time the horse bucks, they work a little harder and this method has worked really well for me. BUT if this is a really constant thing, I always take into consideration that it might be a discomfort reaction. First I would double check the saddle, try some bare back ideas and as a last resort I would consider having my chiropractor come out and check the horse over.
And, if you dont know how to fix this issue and have limited experience with a horse/problem like this, just as a previous poster mentioned, definatley consider consulting a professional who CAN fix this. You just dont want to, un-knowingly, create more or a bigger problem through inexperience.
Good Luck – and please, be careful!
Okay- I have a three year old gelding only trained English. Actually, scratch that, he has some Western training but not much. I prefer to ride Western, let’s not get into why. I have already considered a trainer, but I was wondering if I personally could train him Western. Is there a certain way, or should I just put the saddle on him and teach him my way or the highway?
Yes, because posting a question on YA! is going to magically give you the knowledge of how to train a horse.
I know how to train horses to want to be wormed and have their hooves done. I have worked with a horse behaviorist and trainer for a few years and can train them and do! but I am wondering if anyone has ways, tips or training methods to get a horse to respond positively (or stand still) while getting their teeth floated. if you could even post links to video’s or other websites with your post that would be great!
I WOULD LIKE TO GET A HORSE TO BE ABLE TO HAVE ITS TEETH FLOATED WITHOUT SEDATIVES, TWITCH OR PROBLEMS TO THE VET OR DENTIST!
Most equine dentists are going to sedate the horse whether it’s "trained" or not. It’s a safety matter. Horses are can be very unpredictable and explosive, no matter how well trained they are.
But to help, mess with your horse’s mouth a lot. Don’t force it, but make it so that you can open it’s mouth using both hands, like a vet would to check its teeth.
My family has a history of nasty joints and nowadays it gets harder and harder to practice a level horse stance with my knees giving out. Any training tips or meditation that could help or do i just repeat till i just don’t feel it anymore? haha
If the problem is mental, just ignore it. If the problem is physical you can try wrapping your knees.
