I knew it.....he is a pretty boy! I really like how he is looking...and if he don't work out as a ranch horse I have a lovely english saddle that he could wear....keep us up dated on him.

I agree,he is a pretty horse but still young and spooky,likes to buck a little,thats why if you look at the pictures good,you will see the saddle too far forward and a good nite latch,but he is coming along,seems eager to please once he settles down,you got me wondering what he would do under an english saddle,bet he would look good.
good luck

I can see it now. Lord Haymaker chasing after a fox with his 2 blue heelers yelling "Tally HO Damn it." :lol: :lol: :lol:

ROFLMAO That would be a sight! But fox hunting is such fun once you try it your hooked for life...Big Muddy rancher said:
I have in my younger days taken more than a few $'s from "good ol cowboys" who thought that just because I was wearing full english attire and because my horse was prancing around all day doing rail classes, jumping and dressage...that we must be "city folk".....that was until I bet em a few bucks that my horse could cut,pen,sort cows as good as any of theirs. This of course is about the time you heard them laugh, but then after being asked about the bet again someones "buddy" would dare em to take my bet. So I would dropped my stirrups a few holes( ya gotta have a long leg if your gonna stay on :wink: ), give my horse her head, show her the cows/calves and tell her to go to work....more than one cowboy wore the
face and paid the bet.I don't think he would do to much....it's not the saddle so much as the rider moving around "posting" at the trot that seems to throw em for a loop...either they want to stop because being a young horse a moving rider puts them off balance easier, they try to go super fast to rebalance themselves or he buck a bit just trying to show his displeasure with having to work that much harder to stay balanced. I think he would look great all dolled up doing some dressage....he would need a mane tho..lol Cant put pretty braids in it if he doesn't have one!

I like the looks of him. But I don't imagine he'd ever have enough mane to put braids in. His tail and forelock look "appish" to me.
Haymaker....if he don't make a good cowhorse.....you know it's a whole lot closer mileage wise to turn him into a barrel horse than a dressage horse :wink:

No curve and tail head sits too high for him to get his butt under him to make a barrel horse. He has a kind eye, ought to make you a pretty good ranch horse.

the extra travel miles will make him a more worldly & well rounded soul and if he has to keep some of his western roots..I'll gladly paint the dressage letters on old steel barrels!..lol :lol:
I think if he got pampered a bit in the mane and tail dept.(mane and tail bags, conditioning goop and troop full of 4-h girls) he would have enough to make nice tight small hunter braids... :wink: besides now days it's not how much hair the horse grows it how much hair you can afford to buy :roll:

No, no. Speeding after that Axis with the reins in his teeth in true John Wayne fashion. I like the blue heeler idea, though!
