How do you act round him? Are you anticipating him to act that way, or are you nervous yourself? Some horses act very differently round different people.

Spike's rider should have just dropped the reins and let him do his thing! He got a hug though which is nice to see

I thought it was supposed to be about rider skill? That grey horse would give even the best of riders hell- just as I thought :rolleyes:

All I'm saying is that on top of being on an unfamiliar horse, most likely used to being ridden in a much different style to how the athlete rides, and very few of them being natural horse people- they have just done a swim and done fencing matches. They must all be knackered.

I'm a minute or two behind live too. But looks like the grey with its tongue out is going to give one of our Brits a fun ride!

Well done to the USA rider, she at least looked like she knew what she was doing. shame about the poles down.

What an honest horse. Seemed like the first rider kept crumpling to one side though?

Ditto HeatherAnn, not all mares are stroppy madams, I know plenty of geldings who are far more difficult than many mares I know. You just have to find the right one for you. ETA, didn't see your post! Though unless you've young colts there's nothing to say a mare can't go out with geldings

I bought one! Though it would depend on the reasons why if I were to again. Mine had never been taught to jump and has a cracking one on her as it turns out. She did travel to us under sedation and have had no need to travel again as where we are has local shows. However we're moving her next...

She's lovely, and the blue looks really good on her! :)

Brilliant! :D I'm convinced mine would call me "idiot human", or "slave"

Its always great fun watching an argument pan out obviously ;) , but I mainly come on to find advice or opinions. I don't really know many horsey people as I had always kept myself to myself at current yard, so its nice having somewhere where I can talk to people with a common interest.

If you click desktop at the top of the page then you can watch it. I find this one amusing too http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BVMY-VX7NyA&feature=related

Might be tad too far. I need to get my current one sold first anyway, so more trying to work out what I actually want!

Will do, always though arabs were pretty anyway :)
