I don't get to ride mine because it's broken though.

I don't get to ride mine because it's broken though.
that's the biggest load of rubbish ever! I don't know one tb owner whose greatest pleasure isn't letting them rip full blast in a field!
NICOLE! NOW look what you've done! You've made It ^^^ happy!
TB owners live on similar plain as Parrelli followers...they love to own a horse...but rarely get to ride it.
Lol I couldnt resist I see the old "Why do people own cobs" thread has been resurrected
I saw. I can't think why anyone would be crass enough to do that.... I never did anything that daft about 2 months or so ago... honest...
*wanders off trying to look innocent and failing*
Why own Shrek, when you can own Brad Pitt? No, seriously though, Tb's are complex and genuine and honest and only want to please. There is no deceit or naughtiness. Their behaviour makes them easy to read - I have never known a Tb who has trouble expressing their feelings!
They are sensitive, responsive, forward going and don't take rocky, uncomfortable baby footsteps. You need only to think where you are going and at what speed with a Tb - and they appear to respond by magic
Oh and you don't need spurs or to ever kick, squeeze or nag them to move and retain the movement.
Exactly
Because if it wasnt for these folk to take on ex-racers a lot would end being PTS or going into the meat chain??
If the said people know what to expect and how to look after a TB, I dont see the problem. There are many people who see them as a 'cheap' option however the maintenance of one is often quite the opposite..
There's nothing wrong with TB being used as leisure horse, they too enjoy the love and attention they can get, I dont think there is any horse you could class as specifically a sport horse just to be used by the professionals.
