A little back ground... I have a 15yr old Standardbred. He was retired off the race track at about 6yrs of age, I adopted him about a year later and so have been working wiht him for roughly 8yrs. In that time I have trained him to saddle and done some very basic dressage training. During that time I...

I am currently riding a 7 year old appendix Gelding for his owner on the weekends only. He is a pretty well put together horse and a great little jumper but we are having TREMENDOUS problems when we track right on the flat- even at the walk. He throws his nose to the rail, pops his inside shoulder in...

Hi Everyone, I am getting a coming 3 year old Appendix filly vetted (YAY!) and was wondering if anyone had thoughts or opinions on the Pessoa Lunging System? Has anyone here used it? I feel like it would be a much better option than just a surcingle and side reins, as it helps the horse understand how...

It seems likeyou may have the same problem that I have. You sort of strive to meet the teachers expectations. Most teachers actually push you because they want to know when yo'll tell them you've had enough. Some others are jerks and will still push but thats another story. I would simply explain...

Aww, it was so exciting today -- a bit of background first. There's a couple that owns several young horses at our farm and nice as they are, they don't know much about handling young 'uns, have always had older trained horses. Happily they are very open to assistance -- like yesterday when...

Hi! Newbie here.... I have a 5 yo OTTB who has been off racing for about a year now. Super nice guy, pretty easy going, fairly light to the aids, no lameness issues, etc., etc., etc. I've been riding for about 5 years now, so I'm a pretty solid intermediate rider. My trainer and I are working...

The horse I ride has developed an annoying habit of moving when I try to mount. When I first get into the arena, I adjust my stirrups and tighten the girth and then walk over to the mounting block. Once I put the reins over his head, he will move forward or he'll move to the side - anywhere away...

This is definitely NOT a stupid question! I think it's really important for riders to ask questions like this to understand the WHY and HOW of everything they do with horses. Asking lots of questions helps to make good horsemen and women. A running martingale is a bit like a training yoke. It often...

I know a lot of people don't believe in holistic approaches to things, so bear with me, please. I suggest you get your horse checked out by a person who does equine acupressure or chiropratic adjustments. Your horse might have something "out" and be in pain whenever he tries to do a lead...

I have been doing ground work training a young TB/Perch cross gelding for a year now (he is almost two now). He started out very dangerous, wanting to rear all the time, running away for hours on end in the pasture (one time it took me over two hours to catch him in a little 3 acre pasture) and scared...
