Joe moves :)

[Emilieu]

I really love how happy he makes you.

 

[rextherobber]

Had to watch that twice, the first time I was just admiring the scenery!

 

[Caol Ila]

Love him. Maybe I should employ you to help me find my next project.

 

[SatansLittleHelper]

Quick question, how does he not know voice commands..?? Genuinely curious as I thought he had been driven, or did I dream that ?
Can't comment on the video as everything looks lame to me when it's going round in circles ??

Glad to know I'm not the only one had that thought lol but if you could school them for me as well @ycmb I'll give you the price of a reasonably healthy kidney ?

Hes a beautiful looking boy, and the personality you've described in him I think comes through in the video. He's trying so hard, non-denominational diety love him!! ?

 

[Caol Ila]

YCBM could have my first born child to school a horse for me. I never wanted it anyway.

If this was an auction situation okay you win, I'll go so far as a lobe of a lung but a pregnancy is too much ??

 

[Caol Ila]

Yeah, it's nine months of misery, but I would get a really great horse out of it.

 

[Lyle]

Hey ycmb you want an organ on call when you need it or a dependent ? just don't ask for my liver its ruined.

You don't want mine, either. Everything else is fair game.

 

[Elf On A Shelf]

He will be ok in time. He doesn't lift his feet very high off the ground though does he? Maybe I am just too used to seeing TB's trot though some of them are quite shuffly too.

Just why did you post this, I really don't understand?

He was broken to drive by men with pronounced northern accents, he doesn't get my high southern female voice at all ?

It's very strange that he doesn't seem to understand the whip, though. But it's great that he's never been hit by one.

In four weeks the only problem I've had with him is that if I have another horse on a rope, he will walk into the rope to put himself between me and the other horse. He is the sweetest, gentlest, most human orientated creature I've ever owned, I love his personality, his looks, and I'm really excited about his potential too.

I bought him to give me options for next winter, and if it comes to a decision between him and my PRE mare so I can go back to two in the autumn, it's currently him who will be staying. She's a wonderful horse, but he's grabbed me emotionally in a way she never has.
.

I've had exclusively mares for years and I would usually say that I much prefer them. However, I must admit that having a young gelding who is very affectionate and wants to be my buddy, is rather lovely!

I think the connection with geldings can be much quicker, whereas mares can take a while to drop their defences. They can be a lot harder to get to know I think.

You've a good eye for a diamond in the rough ycbm and its going to be really interesting watching him develop.

 

[Winters100]

He looks like a really nice type You will have a lot of fun with him.

 

[ImmyS]

He’s really lovely! Do you plan to back him this summer?

 

[webble]

Oh hes looking good, my standie is similar on the lunge and looks not right at times wait till they build muscle and get going properly. You have a little star there

 

[Shilasdair]

To all those who are wondering - yes, yes, he is.

 

[Shady]

Such a sweet horse Ycbm. A really good find and so lovely to hear how happy he makes you. xx

 

[Errin Paddywack]

He is such a nice workmanlike little horse and looks as though he will be a very comfortable ride. Some thing you can sit into rather than perch on if you know what I mean.

 

[ycbm]

Deleted, not worth a reply.

 

[ycbm]

He doesn't just "look not right on the lunge". He is a very young and inexperienced horse doing a tiny "circle" for the first time ever.

How anyone can say he is "shuffling" when he isn't even kicking up the arena surface is beyond me.

And if you mean, Shils, "to anyone wondering if he's lame the answer is yes", it is not. He is not lame, I see him moving all the time and I know.

We had a whole group of people enjoying me sharing my new little horse and a a couple of people just want to spoil it all and bring me down. I have absolutely no idea what I do to deserve this shit.

Workmanlike is exactly the word I use about him.

I'm still working out whether to keep Deza or not but I think the answer will be no. I plan to start leaning over him and judging how much of an issue he's going to be to get backed and whether I want to do that, late May/June. I won't part with Deza until I'm sure he's going to be OK to ride. But he's very bum high at the moment (2 inches or more) and I wouldn't want him working while he's that unbalanced.

[CanteringCarrot]

He's seems like the good functional type, and by that I mean a comfortable horse to ride with a great personality. The kind of horse that can do a little bit of everything that you can have fun with. The kind that is just nice to be around.

I think trusting your gut on when to back him is a good call, and there's no rush.

Do you just not feel as attached to Deza or is her management still a bit difficult?

 

[Regandal]

What a nice, kind boy. I look forward to seeing how he progresses.

 

[ycbm]

YCBM could have my first born child to school a horse for me. I never wanted it anyway.

If you knew me you would know that this is not an incentive ?

[ycbm]

Both. Her striding is wrong for my body, her management is different from the other two so it causes work and fuss, and she's a typical mare, friendly enough but she won't seek out your company.

 

[Michen]

He looks awesome, he reminds me a lot of Bear actually!
