You’ve ridden her …twice.
In two years.

Wait, hang on, I just realized OP has not just one, but two horses.
My favorite thing in the WORLD is when people have “no money for training” because they have so many horses they can’t provide a proper situation for any of them.
I could have 10 horses for the price of one if I kept them all in a muddy field with a barb wire fence and 2 flakes of extra hay per day and never put shoes on and didn’t bother with saddle fit or providing them proper training or educating myself. Amazingly though if you cut down on the number of horses on your tab and focus on the quality of care provided you might have a saddle that fits well enough that you don’t actually injure your horse and you might have enough left over to actually get some training, and not be standing in the field going why is my horse’s back oozing and btw I’m scared to get on.[/QUOTE]
hahahaha my word you are pretty funny course i can have two horses,there a problem with that???i only have a confidence issue with the new one…!the one with fistulous withers…and money isnt an issue,its my parents that lay down the law and say its not necessary and i DEFINITELY give them more than 2 flakes of hay,like REALLY!!and they are NOT in a muddy pasture…!we have a shelter/barn for them,they PREFER the pasture to the dry,warmer barn!!just watch them in a rain storm!!!and they hate shoes!they do NOT need to be shod!and her back is NOOOTTT oozing!!!we caught that fistula in time Lol! and duh,I’m not getting on if she’s hurt!!!wake up!!! not every horse prefers to babied;my horse wants to be a HORSe!! and my saddle ahem didnt injure my horse ;)and I still am learning,I am eager to learn!but if someone is going to scoff at me,I’d prefer you keep your mouth shut,fine if you dont,but I can smart mouth anyone as good as you just did!Sure,I may be outta place,but only if u were!!!I’m a horse-person,always will be,and I do whats right!and if there’s not a way,I MAKE a way!!like they say,“if theres a will,THERES A WAY!” sure not everything works out,but for now,I’m cruising in low gear right now,looking for groundwork and exercises to work and bond with her.there’s no reason to sell her right now,and I do have a proper place for both my horses thank you!!!
