That's exactly the point - we don't know you. We have no basis on which to judge you other than a few random sentences. Our judgement reflects more on the manner in which you wrote what you posted and less on you. In short, it means very little how we have judged you, and whether or not you decide to stay, you shouldn't let it bother you.

Agree'd, he has'nt been castraited YET. My maths is'nt brilliant, but febuary (sp?) is not 'in a couple of years'
i don't understand how they would make 'perfect parents' niether of thier breeding is known, well i dont even have a filly, so it'd be a gay baby for a start, but how would they be perfect?
Your post makes little sence and to be fair, i think you need to get real.
Sorry for delayed reply, some of us have real life horses not the plastic type that have an eye thrown over them before we go to bed. maybe one day eh?

You have very low maintenance plastic horses
Mine need bringing in from their plastic pasture to their plastic stables, they need their plastic bodies and legs brushed with plastic brushes and their turnouts replaced with stable rugs. The whole charade can take me hours

next time i shall try and be a little clearer in my posts. im not to good with grammar, so do like to keep things short and sweet. half the time i havnt got a clue what half of you are on about as my grammar is very basic. anything word with more than 7 letters means nothing to me hence why i choose to be round horses and animals because they dont care who i am.

mountain view don't be so sensitive. I currently have my first real youngster too, though he's 2 now. I'm probably not much older than you, if at all either
Thats the problem, how do you not get sensitive over some of the very very disrespectful posts on here. I understand it's calmed down now, but it did get a little more heated than need be.
I don't know how to tell peoples ages on here, i may learn how to one day eh
Again i know for a fact, i make silly spelling mistakes and miss alot of puntuation (sp?) but reading through the op's post i could make sense of it, and she did have a few people saying a few hurtful things at a time, maybe her reason was trying to type to fast, or maybe (no offence) she is'nt the best at writing in general...
Either way, by gones be by gones. I've taken some handy titles to buy from this thread so i'm happy

The main thing that would help would be to use full stops at the end of sentences like you have in this most recent post. That would make your posts much more understandable and easier to read and you won't get people so confused. I'm not trying to be a ******, I am genuinely trying to help, honestly

Haven't actually read the whole thread but has anyone suggested Jennie Loriston Clarke's Breaking and Training the Young Horse - that's my absolute favourite (although the Richard Maxwell stuff is pretty good too)

Ever so slightly yes, especially as it was not aimed at you. shame everyone didnt stick up for the OP like they are for whom my previous statement was aimed at eh?
how can OP put her gelding,(he will be by the time the filly i said i was going to swap my colt for as im not experianced enough to keep him that im not going to get, it was fiction) be put to cover what in reality is also a colt. it does'nt make sence, well niether does that but read back and you may understand.
my point being, grow up, why would i consider putting a mare (which i don't have) to a gelding to be (which would be about as much use as my 80 year old grandad in bed convieving wise) in which niether of us know the breeding of. inexperianced, yes, stupid, not quite.

So there is a gap like this ^ it makes it easier for the old folkies with bad eye sight to read the post
Good luck with him he is very cute

BOGOFs? Plenty of people on here end up with a foal they neither expected or planned, I don't hear them being slated for asking questions.
If the OP is genuine then what harm is there in asking questions? That's all they are - just questions. Last I heard asking questions was the way to learn things, everyone has to start somewhere.
As for what to expect of a 9 month old, mine do all the usual stuff, feet, good to worm, brush, clip, wash, lead, tie, stop when I do, go when I do, wander up and down the lane with, or without Mom, happy to come away from the herd and to be stabled. They'll all step into a trailer, over poles. They'll have had a rug on, and all that in baby steps from practically the day they are born, they aren't overfaced, nasty, spoilt or headshy either.
I'm always saying it but I believe a few minutes does absolutely no harm at all and hardly interferes with them being a 'horse' for the other 23 hours and 45/50 minutes of their day.

To be honest, I think i';m just on the defence.
Between mad horses that like to rear, buck and jump at you then all of the normally well behaved gg's start thinking its fun to wind you up, and ontop of that the dogs decide to finally protect me and run around barking like idiots all in one day out of the blue i'm half asleep and thinking into things too much, Apologies

Demon exorcist...
the difference with a bogof... its unexpected u HAVE to deal with it, but to purchase a foal with no knowledge is foolish, its like a horse lover going oh yeah im going to buy a horse.. no idea how to look after it, ride etc.
yes questions are a learning point but surely you ask first then decide if you are able to look after/train etc, not go on to forums where a millon different views will be thrown at you, so you still dont know what is right, wrong, or what to do.

I'm pretty new on here too and it looks to me like everything got a bit heated but I really wouldn't take it personally OP. Nobody knows you to know if you can ride or not! I'd take that comment as a generalisation if I were you. take what you can use from the thread and forget about what you can't. There's some fantastic advice given on here, and an awful lot of it comes from the people who have posted on this thread.
I only just found out about trolls too and it seems that people are a bit wary. Don't take it personally! I think your foal is lovely and all the time you're willing to ask for advice when you're not sure you should learn plenty to keep you going.
I hope you'll post lots of pictures as he grows up.

I remember a year or so ago when everyone though that a certain poster who was showjumping a black pony was a troll. She wasn't. It's interesting. Some trolls are very obvious. Some aren't. Some inexperienced people come across as trolls. Some experienced people are trolls. I don't know why people troll. I guess it's all about whatever 'floats your boat'. I think I know where I am with this one. Not sure where all the others have come from recently though - are they linked or just becoming more common?
