She’s doing mild work (flat and some 80-90cm jumps here and there) not anything much for her.She has been worked with from a young age as her first owner was the one who had her mother and he gave her a lot of attention. She is a very excited and determined horsey so I know when she does not...

Both trainers are in my barn.The first one does not have much experience and I just felt like every time I would train I would not progress.The second one is a man with much experience in international level (rare to find that where I live) and we have really made progress with him. The trainers...

I do not think it’s the treats either. My trainer says that she is a baby and it is normal for her to do this.The thing is that she does not do it with him and when I tell him she does them to me he just tells me to ignore her.I know it is probably my fault because she can sense that I am...

He is giving her carrots but I do not think that those are the problem because I was giving her all sorts of treat before that.She is not a super sensitive horse (has grown in land and not in preppy stables) so it has not really passed through my mind that the treats are doing it.Do you think...

Hello to all! I recently got my first horse,an almost 4 year old mare. When I first went to try her she was a sweetheart.She was calm and easygoing and she did not care for whatever you were doing to her.Sometimes she got a bit antsy but that I viewed as typical as she is a baby still. Lately...

Hello there! I’ve been thinking if anyone has taken up a job in summer away from home,working at a yard as a groom/stablehand or as a rider. I was thinking that it might be a good idea to learn new things and make use of my German/English language knowledge. If anyone has any experience...

Thank God the food is included in the price the yards have given me. I keep on looking even though I think I found the one because I’m trying to keep myself grounded! It’s so hard!😭

I just have my doubts if the x horse I’m going to pick is going to be the right one and if I can actually afford the huge expenses as I’m going to be a part time college student and also work part time.Do you think it’s going to work ? I’be talked with all the Yards around the city I’m going to...

Of course I’m going to get it vetted as I want to be sure of my choice and on every aspect! Thank you so much for replying! It’s good to get some support and positivity because I’m freaking extremely anxious.

Thank you so much for taking the time to write all those questions! I’m trying to not let the impatient owners get to me as I’m a really easy-to-read person and they find my buttons real quick.

Eh I think it’s pretty much the same as the rest of the world! The “not buying with my heart” thing is something that I should do because I know me 🤣🤣 I’m trying to keep myself positive and motivated but there are some moments of negativity and serious doubt,is that normal ? I...

I was actually really nervous to write on here but everyone is so positive that I am taking the chance! I’ve been riding since I was little and have known pleeenty of horses (foals,mares,stallions,green,experienced etc).I know all about their care and have ridden a lot of different ones. Now...

Thank you for the advice!I am going to follow it and wait for the results :)

Yeah I know how to jump :) Should I first teach him while lunging?

I am going to buy a horse that will be used mainly for flatwork,some jumps and hacking.What should I feed?He/She will be out on a field but we don't have much grass where I live so this can't be his/hers only source of food,plus what supplements should I give for stronger hooves?He/she is going...
