Sunday, November 20th, 2011

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 :P 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! :)

Pre-training a horse for tooth floating?

By · Comments (6)
Saturday, November 19th, 2011

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.

How to train a horse to maintain speed without being on his mouth the whole time?

By · Comments (6)
Friday, November 18th, 2011

Tips, cues, videos, anything will help.
My horse doesn’t maintain his speed very well. Sometimes he’s awesome, others he’s all over the place. He’s great when I ride him in the round pen, but out in the arena, this is when he acts like a retard. I ride western btw.
Oh yeah, he likes to speed up. That would be a good point to mention haha.

This is basic horsemanship. You teach him his responsibility! Do not change direction, do not change gait until I ask! I cannot say this loud enough: it is you who needs to change in order to get a change from him! When you proclaim he acts like a retard, please know horses are your mirror. Honor him and get the best out of him by setting him up for success and trusting him to give it to you. Know the power of "before". Riding him in the round pen? Come on. Give him a break. Let him think for himself and then guide him. It is a back and forth, guide, direct and lead and follow. The mouth is for guiding with finesse. The seat is for impulsion. Get him out on the trail with a friend who’s horsemanship you respect. Give him a job to do.

Which Horse Should I Look At To Lease? [[ Videos Included ! ]] ?

By · Comments (6)
Wednesday, November 16th, 2011

Ok, so I”ve been riding most of my life. I’ve trained horses before including my OTTB. [[ off track thoroughbred ]] I mainly compete in Jumpers, Dressage, Combined Training, Eventing, and I may start hunters. I currently own one OTTB and I’ve also been looking for a horse to lease, and I have two favorites. I know the barns that their both kept at but I need some help before I go look at them…

The first horse is Diesel. He’s a 4 year old 17.2hh Percheron X Standardbred gelding. I’m in love with his gaits but do you think he could be an ok jumper? [[ I'd wait until he was a little older to start that ]] I’ve seen the heaver breeds such as Friesians, Draft Corsses, etc being amazing jumpers! I would also be doing dressage…which I’m sure he would be great at! Though is it just me or does he seam to have a little bit of a long back? How is the rest of his conformation? Other thoughts?

The second horse is Shyanne. She’s an 8 year old 16.3hh Draft Cross [[ Paint X Belgian ]] How is her movement to you? Any obvious conformation faults that I’m missing? Does she have the build to possibly be a jumper, eventer, etc? Any other thoughts?

Yes the first horse is broke :]
I would love to train horses for people as I am capable of it. The only problem is that I’m 13! It’s also hard to find people who want me to train their horses as most barns here are western. Though I may start working at a local barn; hopefully helping to train some horses. :D

I like #1 the horse is very eye catching and nice to look at!
I think the long back of Diesel is because of the Standardbred in him, It isn’t that big of a deal though. I also noticed that he enjoyed working and listening to ques. Then when they put the saddle on him he doesn’t even care or notice and is still willing to work happily plus he has some get up and go to him too which will be good for jumpers.

The #2 horse would make a good jumper but it seems that the rider needs to push her a bit more with her feet. I can’t see any major faults because the video isn’t too great. The horse looks well trained though and fully broke in too.

Edit: I noticed that they both say for sale… Are you leasing then buying? Or do you have an agreement where you are just leasing?

help with training my horse??? *re-post*?

My horse Buzz is a 6 year old thoroughbred gelding. I’ve been getting back into working him, since he was off for a while. (he had strangles :’( not fun). I also just got him this summer so I haven’t really had a good long ride on him yet since he’s been off. I’m still trying to figure out all of his quirks and stuff! I’m still getting used to the fact that his stride is so much longer then horses i used to ride, so it feels like he’s going fast when really he’s not! I’m also a bit of nervous person, so sometimes he can feel it. (My recent fall didn’t help my confidence either. I’m always worried he’ll bolt again) I’m worried that my nerves will make me never be able to ride him confidently. I am REALLY confident with groundwork and lunging, it’s just when I get on I tense up. Does anyone have any tips on confident riding and controlling faster horses? Any websites or videos would be greatly appreciated!

Also, since he’s only 6, will he grow out of some of his quirks? He also has such a great personality and when I rode him before i bought him, he was AMAZING! He was very respectful and didn’t rush or misbehave. I want to ride like that again, it’s just my nerves are getting in the way. I’m just the type of person who has a hard time letting things go. (like when i fell) And i don’t want anybody saying that i should get a different horse because I am committed to this horse and just couldn’t let him go.
*I’m sorry it’s soooo long*
For certain people who think otherwise, I have taken many many years of riding lessons!

He’s been out of work for a while. He’s probably just feeling fresh because he hasn’t had to do anything for so long. Your confindence will build as you learn more about him, learn his behaviors and triggers and have a few good, solid, quiet rides on him. Give yourself a chance.

If after a month of daily riding, you still feel he is too much horse for you, check into what you’re feeding him and see if there is anything that could stand to be changed. Perhaps your feeding him to have more energy than he currently needs. If you really can’t find anything worth changing, find a good riding instructor to help you connect with him and start things moving in the right direction.

HORSE TRAINERS: Do you make an OK living on training?

By · Comments (2)
Sunday, November 13th, 2011

I was wondering how much per year do you horse trainers out there make, what state you train in and what types of horses you train. I know people that must be making a fortune training and some people that have flat-out given up since they get no income. (PERSONALLY, I don’t think they’re trying hard enough, but they’ve got a kid and a household to take care of, so I don’t blame them.)

I’m asking this question, because I am going to go to college for a horse training program. (I know I don’t NEED to, but this college will teach me LOTS of stuff an apprenticeship won’t.) I plan on starting out by training solid trail horses and possibly buying unwanted horses and re-training them to sell after they are finished. I will also probably try to get certified as a horse judge and judge for 4H and open shows (nothing fancy) to supplement income. I’m going to try to get an apprenticeship with either a cow, reining or barrel racing trainer. I’ll probably do barrels. Then, if I’m good enough, I want to start a video series called "Full Potential Horsemanship."

its a good job apart from cleaning up all the crap
