Whats she going to training for? Just general ed?

Yeh I knew it was somthing like that... thanks

You could try one of those Kool Coats I think they are called it's a cotton sheet for summer? But really he'll prob just get rubs no matter what, I have one that does. Can he go naked?

Oh okay well that sounds like a smart choice! By hunter ring you don't mean jumping do you? (with your leg?)

I just got back from my first ride out on the pipline where I live with Cosmo! We had a BLAST, Sarah rode Chance and so he was the baby sitter (funny I remember when he was the baby and my mom's horse was the baby sitter hehehe) any way pretty uneventfull saw a deer, and at the end ran into another rider and rode with her almost all the way back... then we tried to canter and the little buger wouldn't go but man he can trot fast if he wants to hahaha. I changed him over from the side pull

I agree with the others, I would NEVER move the mounting block, move the horse! and make the mounting block the place of rest so he wants to move by golly move move ALLOT make it a bit more than he bargend for (I might even keep my lead and halter and do a little "longing" and let him rest at the block. For some it might be enough just to move him right back to the same place every time untill he stands there (keep in mind your whole work time may be spent on this problem and I wouldn't

Well I'm glad to see I've still got some friends :) I'll reply to everyone a little bit later I'm off to go running right now cya soon!

Thanks!!! Hows yours doing?

Well no REAL driving but he does pull the drag however I've been slacking since I started him I just spend my time riding him, I cant help it I LOVE to ride and even tho he's poky he's kinda fun, he really walks out on the trail and I was pleased I got to canter him!!! and it was suprisingly REALLY nice! lastnight for the first time I cantered him with another horse yeehaw, he was good but a little forward should I say hahaha. He actually outgrew the cart before I could use it and I haven't

Yeh thats chance before I lost weight, maybe not the best one to show it? Cosmo IS huge :)
