Depends... what did you buy them for?
Riding pleasure or show? |

Congrats on the purchase. I'm not a horse-kinda-guy, but I think they're beautiful animals. :wink: |

I LOVE HORSES! My daughter is/was (boyfriend) more into them. She rides equestrian. She is great at training them. She trained 2 so far.
So what do you need help with, maybe if you ask I can have her tell you or she can refer you somewhere. If you live in Indianapolis maybe she can like help you train them :lol: To get her away from the boyfriend a little! She is almost 17, get my hint here :lol: |

Not to be picky but isn't a equestrian a horse?
The only riding stiles I have heard of are English, Western, and Dressage.
The why question was only meant to be a joke. We ourselves have 5 of our own horses and a border with a horse. |

equestrian is the rider, not the horse, or type of riding. |

Probably meant to say 'english', not equestiran. :wink:
I am a trainer/breeder as well. Just like any other thing you get involved with, do some research. I've been doing this for 20+ yrs, and there is still a lot to learn (like trucking I suppose!). Just remember, they require much more care/committment than other 'pets' do- so unless you can spend a resonable amount of time with them, you may need to double-check why you have them. They are truly wonderful creatures, and can be great 'therapy'/escape for a lot of people. Hubby and I have done a lot of showing/training and trail riding over the years, and the bonds made w/our critters is very strong- like some folks and their dogs/cats. Since he became a trucker though, he doesnt get to ride much, and his horse really misses him! I could 'talk' about this forever, horses are the one thing I am very passionate about, so sorry if I'm rambling!! :D :wink: |

Yes as I am the rookie mom she is the pro :cry: She has been riding since she was 10! I can show you pics of her, she is well liked and very good pose, only a STUPID BOY got in her way! Funny thing is her friend got offered to manage horses in Plainfield, IN and her friend offered her a job to help so she is pretty excited, but the BOYFRIEND will be jealous of this and stop her; watch!
I LOVE HORSE! Yes she rides English my bad! I always get it confussed! I love horses, but I like to ride not show. I wish I could show them, but I will leave that to her she is 100% better than I :roll: |

:lol: You forgot Trail Riding... :lol: That requires all the skills of above and some. :P
I truly miss riding. :cry:
I will again one day... :arrow:
P.S. Quarter's are warm-bloods...easy breakers. Just take your time with them, and they come under saddle nicely. Very nice breed. I had a Black Quarter/Thoroughbred cross stallion...and he was a real gentleman. I showed him for 2 years, then trained him for Cutting. |
