Last summer i went to a local stables i helped out at and was offered one of her breeding mares. She had 2, both in TERRIBLE condition. We took the chestnut home that night with her colt foal of 2 months age and nursed them back to health Th...
... Use those plastic stools (that children usually use to reach the bathroom sink) (rectangle shape) as stepping stones in mounted games. It is the only thing sturdy enough, that i can think of, and will carry my weight (i mean im only 7.3s...
Hi guys, Yet another question about the Shetland stallion. Someone mentioned to me that I should work him by lunging, and I really like the idea - this is something I would have wanted to work with anyway - but he barely knows how to be led,...
