    Hey Faster Horses...

    I was able to get the Full House sale report yesterday. It looks like a very stout sale indeed. The top ten brought from $15,500- 30,000. http://www.fullhousehorsesale.com/results.html

    Hey Faster Horses...

    Thanks for reporting on what you had heard. Sounds like a sale we should have been to. Maybe I can find a sale report somewhere.

    Zenyatta's little sister...

    What a gorgeous mare! She runs just like her big Sis. Even though I got in late, it was great fun to watch Zenyatta's fantastic career. I'm excited to be in on the beginning of her little sister's. Thanks for putting this up for us, Jigger Boss.

    4th time under a saddle...and a wreck. Now what?

    How much time do you have? If time is short, I'd advise finding a trainer. You cannot hurry this thing. Good luck though, good ones are few and far between and they aren't cheap. If you have lots of time, you need to start over. As a beginner, I suggest you start watching RFD-TV. Clinton...

    Working Cow Horse or Working Horse Cow?

    I see it this way, whatever "Working Cowhorse" event had taken place was finished and they were simply trying to get the animal out of the arena. It got sullen and the video was a result of some pretty poor cowboying. In the end, somebody got some smarts and simply brought in another critter...

    linebreeding

    Tongue in cheek rule of thumb: If it works it's called line breeding. If it doesn't, it's inbreeding. If I understand your scenario correctly, the prospective foal's paternal grandsire and maternal great grandsire would be the same stallion. If so, it's done all the time and you shouldn't...

    Spurs - Slant vrs Straight hangers

    If you are a tall or big guy, why do you ride short horses? It would make more sense to me if you rode a proportionally sized horse to your size, for a variety of reasons. One of which would be the proximity of your heels to the horse's belly. Astride an appropriately sized horse, the...

    Definition of a good horse

    I agree with FH. However, I would condition her word "attitude," with "willing" and add the word "responsive". Any good horse must have both of these attributes. The lack of these two things makes a horse defensive and resentful. This can be a caused effect, by poor initial handling but...

    Interesting Colt

    I like your round pen too. It is functional but most importantly... affordable! Now that you've got this started, how 'bout putting up a series of pictures, showing the stages of Ty's progress with this horse? It would be fun to see.

    Interesting Colt

    That's a really nice lookin' horse. He appears to be fairly small for a six year old though, unless Ty is taller than I think he is. That's not necessarily a criticism because the older I get, the more appealing shorter horses become! It sounds like you've identified his problems and if Ty...

    naughty Ed

    I don't know what an "Irish shillelagh" is but I agree with you Loomix. That little SOB needs an attitude adjustment. Ya gotta give the kid a lot of credit for hanging in there. Most kids would be bawling and never ride again. The parents obviously thought it was very funny. I DID NOT.

    Spookys Cash

    Hey Flying, Her papers look good. If you like her looks, a two year old filly can't cost much, unless she's from a high powered promoter. Give me a call when you can.

    Wild colors of horses, some I had never seen

    Can you think of another animal with such color variations as horses? I've often thought about that. Wild animals all tend to look alike. Domesticated animals have many breed variations, such as in cattle, dogs, cats, etc. Each breed has it's own color or markings that distinguish that breed...

    Horse turns skittish

    MsSage, I don't think you have much of a problem with Holly, so don't make more of it than it actually is. Your friend is obviously over her head with her horse and she needs more training than her horse does! I'll bet that she has learned just enough from RFD-TV to be dangerous and doesn't...
