I am looking for a new horse to try to get to the dressage portion of NAJYRC (in the Junior division) in the next show season. I am looking for a horse that is competing at least PSG and still in training for (eventually) Grand Prix. I would like a horse that I can move up the levels and show. I would like to be able to earn my medals with the horse. I know I am making trips to Wellington, Florida and Colorado this summer.
So to make a long story very very short, I’m looking for a great moving schoolmaster that can still train up. I need safety and a sound horse. If you know of any sites that can help me find a horse to fit this criteria, please share.
horses who are ready or nearly ready to compete at international level rarely come up for sale on the open market.
You should speak to your instructor and the other contacts you have made throughout your time competing. Once people know that you’re on the lookout for a potential top class horse word will spread and you’ll be far more likely to find what you’re looking for than if you spent hours wading through sales websites.

i need help and info about Arabian horses
Pros cons
Care
How much you need to ride them
etc
It depends on the Arab. Yes, arabians are known to have high energy, but like every horse, it depends on how they are raised, and personality. I have known many lazy, push button arabians. they are known to be people pleasers. they will do practically anything for their owners. They are extremely intelligent, and are very quick learners. They can go for miles on trails, or hours in the arena. They are very very versatile. There are cutting arabs, barrel racers, dressage, ropers, jumpers, western pleasure, ranching arabs, racing arabs anything you can think of, they can do almost anything.
I have had nothing but Arabians. An arab was my first horse. As long as you find one that fits your style of riding, and your experience, you will have a friendship that will last a lifetime. Its sad that people put a stamp on the Arabian saying they are too hot headed. Thats just a show horse. They want the show horse to be excited and have a lot of attitude. But when its just a horse to ride, they have very wonderful laid back personalities. I have known many people who had an Arabian as their first horse. And they had the most wonderful horse owning experience from them. Dont let anyone tell you that Arabians are too much to handle for any first time buyer, find the right Arab. Not all of them are high strung. My trainer had 7 year olds riding an Arabian bareback with a rope around its neck.
But to their intelligence, comes, well, intelligence. They can be too smart for their own good. My mare learned how to unlock almost any gate. They are also very sensitive. You have to be very gentle with an Arab. If you yell, they will get scared. If my mare does something I didnt want her to do, she feels my body get tense, then she pops her head in the air and her eyes get big. They are not the type of horse to get forceful with.
They are very social. They were and still are bedouin horses that slept in the tents with the bedouins. It’s in their blood to love people.
They have the same care as any other horse. They arent some alien creature that requires such a detailed script of how to properly take care of them. It’s a horse. Big or small, they require the same amount of attention, same amount of grooming, and riding (there are exceptions, riding a show horse to a pleasure horse… different regimes).
On how much you need to ride an Arab? That is a strange question. Bout a couple hours a day. Same as any horse. If you plan on buying an Arab, I suggest you take lessons with an Arab trainer, that way, you know exactly what you need to know about an Arab hands on before jumping in on buying a horse.
I have been training arabian show horses for over 25 years.
I am continually frustrated with those people that refuse to take advice as to what their child or horse needs to progress to the next levels of showing.
Some of these clients really see themselves as the "boss". They are paying you, the "employee" to do the job as they see fit. Which is usually not going to work as they don’t know a thing about your job, or what it entails to get the horse/child to progress. They only see the bottom line and expect you to be able to magic the impossible. They have no idea of the tremendous amount of time/energy/talent it takes to train horses or kids or they wouldn’t need to hire a trainer in the first place.
I’m trying to find Belgian Horse breeders from back in 2001 that probably don’t exist any more.?
My friend’s mare was born in 2001 and my friend bought her October 2003. She’s been trying to find registration for her, but it’s hard because supposedly the guy died and that’s why they were selling the stock. We’re not sure of the spelling of his last name; his name was George Jarmin and I think he was in Estes Park. Is there a way to find Belgian breeders from almost 10 years ago in Colorado?

I figure if I can at least get his name right I can go from there!
I contacted Estes Park’s library, hoping maybe to get a copy of some microfilm or something, so I hope I’ll hear back from them.
The name she came with was Frankie. She came with a teammate so she was initially being taught to drive, but she was also broke to ride. I tried contacting belgiancorp.com and they were no help whatsoever. They didn’t seem to understand what I was asking.
If in fact he was a breeder, you could contact the Breeder’s Association or find a Belgian website or any breed related publication and research from there.
Also, does the horses name have anything in it that could be a clue?

Do you think Freedom would be a good jumper? She is a thoroughbred andalusian cross… Would she be a good jumper?
I’m just starting to learn.
I would think so, but she might be green and not know what to do when she comes across a jump. I would start off small, poles on the ground and work your way up from there.
I have Quarter Horse Journals, American Horse, Horse & Rider, horse Illustrated, Western Horseman and some other assorted horse magazines that are one to two years old. I don’t want to throw them out–the articles are timeless, but I’m moving and need to get rid of them. Market them how? How much to ask each?
Package them all together for a better price. Don’t donate them to a book sale unless you know they won’t throw them out. 25 cents each, then if you’re selling them together multiply that by how many and maybe round it to the nearest dollar.
I’ve been riding this horse, and I believe that this horse has greater potential than just being a normal schooling horse. He has a great canter and gets collected really easily, but I haven’t tried doing it at a canter yet. He can do it fine at a walk though. So how do I introduce him to a canter pirouette?
First you have to learn how to do the basics so that you can keep him from drifting and falling over at the shoulder (Previous question you asked). After that, you have to learn a LOT more before attempting to do a canter pirouette on a school master let alone trying to train a school horse yourself to do something you haven’t been trained to do. Take your time and learn the basics. Work your way up. You will have the strength and skills then to work with the horse. Also, he needs the basics in order to have the muscle and strength to handle it. Pirouettes aren’t easy and while I personally love doing canter pirouettes and found that they were easy for me, I had also spent many, many years of hard training to learn how.
