I have a ton of model horses that I need to know the brand of. They are plastic in all different colors, and each one has two sideways horseshoes in silver looped together that are in a circle printed on it’s butt. Does anybody know?? Thanks!

I think it’s grand champions.

HI im trying to find a horse for my mothers birthday. ive checked the adoption sites but i cant seem to find one i can afford. Don’t get me wrong I will be able to give it all it needs but I don’t have 2000 to buy one. If anyone knows of any in this area or close to it please let me know. Thanks Jess

Sorry you have to go through that, a horse rescue should never charge that much. I’m part of a horse rescue and the highest we charged is 500. I can give you some sites to help, but have you tried a personally owned and operated horse rescue?

www.craigslist.org look under farm-garden for livestock aka horses
www.equine.com
http://www.thehorse.com/Horses/Available.aspx this one has free horses to good homes you might have to pay for shipping.
Good Luck.

I’m picking out my first horse in two weeks. I’ve ridden before with other friends horse but all we do is ride around the pasture. And my mom said if i have my own horse i could do dressage and hunter/jumping.

If you have been working with a trainer or are planning to work with one, the trainer would be a very good person to start asking questions. An all purpose saddle would probably be a good one to start with because most of them are designed to put you in a good position, and have a seat design that allows you to do low level jumping and dressage. The ones I have ridden in are also quite comfortable for trail riding.

I would recommend working with a reputable tack shop or horse trainer because they can be a really big help in assuring that you have tack that is right for what you want to do. Another reason I would suggest finding someone like this to help you is that it is very important that the saddle is a good fit for both you and the horse. A horse can quickly develop problems(both behavior problems and physical problems) if the saddle does not fit them properly. The riding experience will also be much better for you if the saddle fits you well.

Hopefully your mother is experienced with horses or someone you know that is experienced with horses and can go with you and help you to choose a horse that is right for you and your goals. Unless the person selling the horse that you plan to purchase is someone you know and trust it is important to have an experienced horse person who can "approve" your purchase because not all sellers are going to be open and honest about the horse, it’s training, abilities, personality, soundness, sanity, and if it’s truly a good match for you. A trainer or professional may charge something to help you with this process, but they can also save you a lot of pain, heartache and money in the long run!!

Good Luck!!!!

Right ok I have a project that I have to do for my stables. I have to find out about the horses in my favourite riding discipline – dressage :) I have to imagine I’m buying a young horse to train to be a dressage horse. I need to find out

1. Breed – I did some research and found that Hanoverians are very popular as dressage horses, with riders like Anky van Grunsven and Carl Hester competing hanoverians. can anyone tell me what makes them so good and suited to dressage?

2. What to feed my hypothetical dressage horse – during training and then during competition.

3. How to train a dressage horse! I have never trained a horse before so I have no idea what you do, let alone what you do to train a high level dressage horse capable of crazy dressage movements!
As much info as possible on this one if possible, I’m totally bewildered D:

Thank you for any help :)

Although some people like Hanovarians there are many different breeds and cross breeds used forthe sport. Others prefer the Trakehners. Most of the warm bloods used for dressage have a certain amoung of TB in them. Carl Hester also has KWPN and Oldenburg horses.

What makes a dressage horse is its movement which, from a foal, should be free, forward and the ability to move with its hocks under it and open the shoulder. They need to be built slightly uphill in that when they more their quarters are slightly lower than the withers this encourages them to have their hocks under them more.

As for feeding your hypothetical dressage horse is like asking how long is a piece of string! Each horse is different and as such should be fed differently. Some might be a bit lazy and need higher amounts than a ‘gassy’ type horse. Also growth comes into it. A three year old will need different nutrients to a grown horse.

The first thing that top riders will ask of a young (ridden) horse is free forward movement, this is allowing them to adjust to a rider being on them by going forward with their head lower than would normally be expected. Then as the horse strengthens and builds up the head will raise naturally and it will come onto the bridle. For the first couple of years there is very little collection asked for. movements are performed at working paces. As the horse learns the basic movements, strengthens and is stronger and is working collected so, the higher movements are asked for.
It all takes many years to teach.

Barrel horse for sale — FROSTY

admin on July 23rd, 2010

She does it all! This mare’s biggest feature is safety. Her number one priority is taking care of her rider. This mare brings a much more mature quality to the table and at only 9 yrs old, this APHA registered mare will be an asset to the whole family for years to come. Frosty stands a sturdy 15.1h tall and is totally sound. She runs barrels, poles, playday events, has done queens contests, grand entries, parades, swam through ponds bareback and carried the American Flag! She has a soft mouth, nice handle, smooth stride and is very laid back and quiet. She will go as fast or slow as your rider needs to and has great brakes. Lope her to a barrel, she will start rating on her own and turning without any help from the pilot. She is quiet enough to be your beginner horse, and young enough to grow into your step up horse as soon as you are ready for more speed! She is up to date on all vaccinations, coggins, etc.

Alessi’s Ark The Horse Music Video

admin on July 23rd, 2010

Beautiful video for The Horse by Alessi’s Ark. The horse EP is out on December the 8th.

The Horse

I was told kite flying’s for lovers
I was told that we can’t share the covers
If you’d like me to, I’ll try to be brave like you.
I know you’d like me to, I’ll try to be pretty too.

I was told that kite flying’s for lovers
I was told that we can’t share the covers
If you’d like me to, I’ll try to be brave like you
I know you’d like me to, I’ll try to be pretty too

I was told that you rest with another
Weren’t you told son, that that’s wrong by your mother?
If you’d like me to, I’ll try to be brave like you
I know you’d like me to, I’ll try to be pretty too
If what you mean’s so true, why let inverebrates cling to you?
If what you hold loves you, why’re you watching the horse pass you?

The Horse.
