Mr.
And I am indebted to you for the correction.[/QUOTE]
You’re welcome.
& I apologize for the gender assumption.
Around here the male tends to be few & far between.

[QUOTE=Sarahfay94;8938942]
Or because im dead set on getting this horse and no other horse currently? Again everyones looking for stuff tp nitpick and just see this as an opportunity to gang up and try and bully someone. Have a great day.[/QUOTE]
Because you’re dead set on getting an inappropriate horse you’ve never actually met? No one’s nitpicking. Everyone’s trying to tell you what a monumentally bad idea this is. But you do you, girlfriend.
You guys did you know that Belvoir is pronounced “Beaver?”
I had no idea, and I’m really upset about it.

Ive traded a boat for a truck and a 4 wheeler for a truck, traded a boat for an enduro traded other vehicles for different ones etc. And i have plenty of things to trade ie trailer bikes etc. And believe it or not i have a trailer im going to look at to trade my enduro for. People do this wonderful thing called barter. We do it all the time. And have been very successful with it. And a safe trailer? We are very aware of what to look for when getting a trailer.[/QUOTE]
Bless your heart.
Again have fun. Im done. You are not worth this. Your a waste of time energy and life. Have a great day. Buh bye.

(See? You thought you could make me say Beaver!)

*You’re. I hope you spend the time you aren’t here learning about spelling, grammar and your computer’s enter key.
better plan is to use your trailering budget to ship with a professional hauler.
an older arab stallion who’s late gelded can still be a major handful. easy to get hurt even for experienced pro’s. you need to re/-think this plan.

I was counting on it being equal opportunities abuse.
How many times has OP bade us farewell?
I know the perfect trainer, he’s out of PA but a Maestro… he would have you on the trail in minutes! especially since you already have airs down.
[QUOTE=Sarahfay94;8938866]
His leg has a slight turn thats it. It doesnt cause him any problems what so ever. He can gallop and trot perfectly fine. Again im not asking input on getting him or not or what hes worth. I am getting this horse reguardless. Read original post and answer or dont comment.[/QUOTE]
Um, a couple of points here:
1.) The fact that the horse is sound in the pasture does NOT mean he will ever hold up to being ridden. Have x-rays been done on his injured leg? Do you even know the extent of the injury? Horses carry about 60% of their body weight on the front legs naturally. Add to that the weight of a rider and saddle, and you’ve easily added 150lbs or more to the mix. Add in the fact that with a green horse you must maintain YOUR balance in the saddle at all times so HE can maintain his balance . . . and you see why we doubt that he could be ridden for his own safety, let alone yours.
2.) I thought the horse was NOT started under saddle yet? Then what is the difference between ‘saddle broke’ and ‘broken to ride?’ You mean he accepts a saddle on his back?
You need a good experienced trainer for the horse, and a good experienced instructor for yourself. IF the horse is even sound enough to ride.

Including the other thread? At least 5 I think.

:yes: Oh, that goes w/o saying.
This is really a minor league trainwreck, past ones have been more spectacular.
BUT, looks like our tragic heroine has departed…again…
She is starting to rival Cher for retiring!

:lol::lol::lol:
so i was watching this episode of heartland where amy gets a horse who wont even move under saddle. eventually she discovers it’s a trick riding horse!!!
long story short, the horse rears on command but an unwitting rider inadvertently cues him, and falls off.
so when this crippled stallion she’s never met arrives, i do hope they know his rearing cue before they shamble, er, gallop off into the sunset.
you can learn a lot from heartland.
This whole thread started out as a question about a trailer??
And why did the grammar and spelling and paragraph-ization improve vastly, for example, on posts #115 and 117?
I came over here from the political thread to be entertained, and it did not disappoint.

:lol: dying!!
At 13 years old, he’s used to not having a job, other than breeding mares. It’s going to be harder, rather than easier, to break him to ride, because he’s not even green broke at the age of 13. This would be the same whether he was a 13 year old unbroken gelding.
Some horses are gelded at a later age and it’s not a big deal. Other horses never really forget that they used to ‘do the deed’ successfully. Add this to the fact that he’s not broke at 13. This could make it even trickier to get him broke.
Add the fact that he has a deformed leg/old injury. He may not stand up to what it takes to be broke. If he starts having pain, he’s going to let you know by ‘bad’ behavior.
And then add to this the fact that you haven’t saddle broke a horse before.
So now do you understand why people are telling you to pass on this horse ? You are not setting yourself, nor the horse, up for success.
I’m not saying it can’t be done. I’m saying it could be VERY challenging.
The odds are not really stacked in your favor.
If you are that crazy about this horse, do yourself a favor and get a good trainer who can evaluate him and see if it’s even feasible at this point to break him and train him. Then listen to what they tell you. If they tell you that it’s not going to work, then prepare that you’ll have a nice pretty pasture pet for the next 15 or 20 years.
