The only other baby is in the paddock right next to her. The problem is, this is the only place that's let us keep her there, no one within 30mins will allow a baby to go out with the others, they won't even let us keep her there!!
She can be turned out into a massive paddock with the only...
She's stabled and night and she's in a paddock on her own, but there are horses in paddocks all around her. She's been with up to 5 horses previously. It's more of a boredom of doing the same routine and I try to mix it up, but it's still the same things, just in a different order. The only...
Aww omg!!
She does walk backwards but teaching her to do it with pressure would be good. She comes to me anyway, we play chasey in the paddock, she pigroots and turns her bum to me (not to kick, she's cheeky but no dirt at all) and I have to get to her head before she runs off. Otherwise, she...
Hi all!
I am stumped for ideas to do with Holly. She's bored and I can't think of things to do with her that will benefit her.
I can groom her, rug her, halter, pick up feet, lead, walk down the road and tie up well. She has being taught the concept of lunging BUT we are leaving it there...
Holly, who is 9 months, dealt with being in the paddock whilst I walked her over poles, a beginner on the lunge, 2 other horses going mental because she was new, my mum panicking about the main psycho Max, running me over (which he never did, i had the lunge whip to scare him off XD) and the...
Got some photos with the camera! Not great but the weather is poor and she was getting a bit antsy (she had been tied up to brush for 15 mins without fussing, so that was really good)
(she did go black/chocolate in summer and now she's a chestnut colour, slowly gotten darker. She was born...
Fides- I do, I do :). There are plenty of people at my agistment that would be happy to help, my parents already have horse knowledge and I've picked up everything real quick (surprisingly) and my instructor is definitely gonna help, she's the one who suggested it, she's done a lot of youngsters...
I need the 'keep growing dance'! Holly's 10 months and is about 14.2 right now, hopefully she doesn't stop at 15hh. Mum's 14.2 but she should have been 15+. I need a horse about 15.2+ because of my height and weight and because I love big horses so much XD
I'll try and get some photos tonight. She's gone a mottled black sorta around her eye. She only has a little bit of white on her back foot, it's white around the back of her heel. As my camera isn't working, I'll have to use the iPhone to get some photos :)
Okay thankyou! I'm new to this whole babies thing XD She only had one, really short lesson, to teach her to lunge but I guess i won't lunge her until she's much much older :P She won't forget for that period of time.
Faracat- Well, she's actually not chestnut! Well, we don't know as of yet...
Oh and I had my first fall a few months ago, lol! It wasn't mine or the horse's fault, but rather the tack XD Girth was too loose, out on a trail ride, and I slipped down his side and onto the gravel and his girth was done up on the normal hole and the horse was putting weight ON. Wonders of the...
I'm 5'4 and a little too weighty for my liking but I've always liked 15/15.2hh + horses. I just love big horses so much! But I can ride broad 15hh- horses too, I just love the big oafs XD
This is Holly, she's an anglo x quarter horse/cyldie. She's a cheeky, fast learning, stubborn little girl. We've moved her to a proper agistment than keeping her at my instructors
Hey everyone, long time no see I suppose!!
I've stopped riding Sarge, I realized what an absolute idiot I was for riding him and I feel so guilty, I couldn't bear to see my favorite horse in pain :( Although, he should be sound to ride again soon! His feet are getting better each day and my...
