Return Fire – Available for Adoption!
Thursday, February 28 2013
by Editor
4 year old, 16hh Thoroughbred gelding “Return Fire” is now available for adoption from our Marysville, Ohio facility! There is one word for this cute gelding- lazy. His favorite gear is standing still watching the world go by which means no need to teach him to stand quietly at the mounting block-he has that down pat! It’s the going to work after that that he questions the need for. The first few minutes of the ride are spend winding him up and convincing him everything is going to be okay and then he goes to work. We haven’t had the opportunity to ride outside due to weather, but I am sure he will be more forward outdoors where he is in his comfort zone. It all comes down to him being young minded and not very worldly even though he did have 5 starts at the track. He will need a rider that can bring along a very green horse that has great basics, but needs a firm but confident leader. Under saddle he is light to ride and is short backed enough to be balanced and athletic.

Equestrian Philosophy Part II – Training the horse or the client
Monday, February 25 2013
by Editor
When I am evaluating a behavioral issue in a horse it is usually because the trainer cannot fix a problem. Problems such as a horse bucking, refusing to go forward , spinning out from under the person, grinding teeth or head flipping are common behavior issues with common causes. But the in order to truly fix the problem, the trainer must understand more about the horse’s natural behaviors, learning ability, communication and intelligence. Trainers often do not have time to spend with horses, especially if they are at a horse show and need to get the horse ready for a client to ride
