I have had Icy off the track since June this year. We are doing lots of groundwork with her. I'm a fairly new rider and don't want to be the first to hop on!...
If I could guarantee a filly, I would breed my Belgian to the TB stallion, Charter Flight, who stands where I board. They would be a superb cross and I could...
Would you folks please explain (or better yet, send a photo) of a "vis-a-vis"? I've always wanted to learn to drive, and I'm finding your exchanges very...
Hi Carol, Vis-a-vis means face-to-face in french. So a carriage where the passengers sit facing each other (one seat facing forward and another facing...

That was the site that Lynda provided, her friends carriage business. This is the business I am working for: www.cjcarriages.com Fun Fun Fun!!!! I can¡¦t...
The 2 Foals we listed for Free, are now in Foster Care. Thank you for everyone's willingness to help out. We are traveling into MN and Wisconsin on Saturday. ...
Get her REALLY consistant on her flatwork. REALLY consistant. To where she is focusing on you, listening and responding appropriately throughout her training...
If you have the money to pay a trainer to ride her and keep the ground work up until she and you and both ready, then go for it! The only she goes without...
The right one will come to you at the right time. But you sure better let us know about it! LOL!!!! Lexi Susan G <sgeisel2002@...> wrote: If I could...
She is responding well to the saddle on her back. At the advise of my trainer, I got Icy a full cheek bit - and she is responding well to turns. Whoa's are...
Sounds to me like she'd be a good candidate for ground driving with long lines. Start off in a round pen, so she'll be fairly contained, and get her stopping...
I emailed about my mare eating the wood right out of her stall. I put her on the Quitt stuff. I had a thought and I went with it. I moved her into a corner...
I would do some ground work with her. Have you tried ground driving? It teaches them a lot... I did it with Hurdle and he stops turns and listens like there is...
Why can't your trainer ride her?? Or does she only do ground work with horses? I would honestly suggest a stronger bit, that why it will lighten up her mouth....
I will mention a ring bit and see what she says. My trainer is willing to be the first to hop on, but, she said if she was 10 years younger, she would do it...
Shari, You really need a trainer.......not a riding instructor. Someone that can help with those first rides and also that is competent enough to instruct you...
Anne - My trainer is a trainer, not only a riding instructor and has experience with retraining ottbs - including 2 of her own. My vet was out the other day...
The rider you want to hire is male and a Polo trainer? Not that I have anything against male riders nor Polo trainer/riders, but if you say Icy is a very ...
Sarah- I always find good advice here! Icy is very sensitive and I don't want to ruin what we have worked up to. I really didn't want to rush anything, but,...
I guess I don't understand why if she's hanging out her shingle, she won't get on this horse? How long have you been doing this 'groundwork'? This is a...
This is my friends, they live on the street over from me. I take care of there horses when they go out of town. The driver is Jerry. He and his dad built the...
I would not start ground driving this horse unless your trainer knows how to ground drive! There are many people in the US that do not know how to longline...
Shari, How soon are you going to be ready to ride "Your Pony" if you are not going to be comfortable for awhile and can afford lessons on a school horse and ...
