Jumping, dressage, barrel, western trail pleasure, > endurance, etc? Well as someone that rides english, western, dressage and comes from a background of Team penning, roping, SAR, etc etc etc.. I'd have to say that my all time favorite thing to do with a horse is to have a session where we're working in unison as a team and I get the most I can from the horse. Doesn't matter what we're doing, it's a question of excelling as a technical rider and part of a team with the horse.

Buddy drove X again tonight -- gosh, they are BOTH getting good at this stuff now !!! X is VERY alert but he doesn't shy at anything ....... well, ALMOST nothing..... Howard from up the street come tullee boppin' down the road in his go-cart ...... well, X looked at it as it was coming towards him ...... everything was fine until they got side by side ...... X "sort of" went a little sideways (I was scared to death he was going to "take off" - he didn't). Buddy very calmly talked to X and everything was fine again and they continued on just like nothing had happened. I was riding Sham and we had fallen in behind the carriage as I saw Howard coming our way -- shoot, I wasn't sure what EITHER horse would do as they had never seen a go-cart before. Sham was upset (but then she had BEEN upset all evening - she doesn't like that carriage -- she doesn't like X -- she was in heat ((and that really explaines her 'itchy attitude )). Well, she hopped thisa way, then thata way, crow hopped a bit ..... heck, X was all over it in just a second or two -- Sham was acting up for a good 10 mintues after that. Sooooooooo, that's the story of tonight's ride. I sure like the looks of X and that carriage!! --- * Origin: Jean's TRICK Horse Barn (1:371/33) --------------- FIDO MESSAGE AREA==> TOPIC: 243 HORSES Ref: DEU00008 Date: 10/25/96 From: JOHN VICKERS Time: 12:06am \/To: ALL (Read 2 times) Subj: Lurking :) Hello All!

I won't ride our horses without one. I haven't had a sore back on any of the horses since we got ours and Smokey's saddle is only and okay fit. I would rather it fit better. The funny thing is that he hates the saddle that fits him and I have nothing but trouble with him when I put it on him. I had the saddle fitted when I bought it for him and then I've had a couple of people I trust look at it too. I've done the talc test and the sweat test, I've looked at it and it fits but he hates it. Figure that one out. Fortunately it fits Diva too.
