Friesians as Dressage Horses?

admin on August 31st, 2010

I’ve been thinking about going from Hunter/Jumper to Dressage and in looking for a horse, I’ve been considering a Friesian. I’m besotted with Jane Savoie’s Moshi (which is probably why I want a Friesian). I know there’s a big stink over Friesians being used as riding horses instead of cart horses. So, I’m kind of wanting some arguments for and against it.

If you don’t think Friesians should be ridden, please make a valid argument as to why not. Thanks!
Thanks! This is the one I’m looking at. She’s not broke yet.

I need to find a tame horse for sale so i can teach my sister to ride. I have my own horse but my horse is not good for beginners at all. So if y’all know a website or someone that i can get a "bomb" proof horse that would be great :)

My personal favorites – Craigslist and Equine dot com.

I have an 11yr old QH mare and im training her in barrels and the bit im using is a tom thumb stainless steal bit…I heard when training you should use a snaffle what do you think?

Hi Danielle,
Find out what type of bit your horse prefers. Many horses like snaffle bits better than solid mouthpiece bits because the snaffle has more give. A solid bit does not allow for as much turn, but has better stopping power than a snaffle bit

Many barrel horses work well in a gag bit. This type of bit is normally a snaffle bit but instead of being joined to the side of the bit, the ends of the mouthpiece can slide up and down as you pull the reins. This is a favorite bit among barrel racers. Some gag bits also come with a nosepiece to help get control of the horse’s nose

Use a few different bits on your horse until you find the perfect bit for your horse’s needs.

You need to experiment with a couple of different bits to see how your horse responds to which bit the best.

Best of luck to you

2009 Breeders Cup Classic – Post Race

admin on August 27th, 2010

Perhaps the Horse of the Year title is not a foregone conclusion. Zenyatta gave the crowd what they waited for–and the patrons responded by cheering, clapping, and waving–as she ran her unbeaten streak to 14 with a magnificent performance in the Breeders Cup Classic (gr. I) Nov. 7 at Santa Anita.

Zenyatta looked uncomfortable for the first 200 yards and was last the first time by the stands, but she was flying down the stretch the second time and rolled by Gio Ponti to win the $5-million race.

Most voters had Rachel Alexandra penciled in as Horse of the Year but Zenyattas victory over males has re-opened that argument.

Zenyatta was a bit reluctant to load, but the assistant starters had no problem getting her in the gate once they locked arms behind the big daughter of Street Cry and coaxed her forward.

Hello I have been watching a few horse training competition’s and I really like it so I tried to break my gelding in a Few day’s and I succeeded. So now I am wondering were and how do I get into it. Is there a course you must take, And were could I get started in this activity?

If you can help me I thank you I am located in Central Alberta.

I think your relating it to the Extreme Mustang Makeover. Its actually a 90 day competition of taking an unbroke wild mustang, and you train it. I don’t know to many more details but if you go to the sources, you’ll find out more about it.

You could also be talking about the Road to the Horse competition in which you take an unbroke colt, and have 3 hours to break it to ride.

For both of these, I’d recommend just perfecting your training, but you need to make sure their are no loop holes in it.

2009 Breeders’ Cup Preview

admin on August 21st, 2010

I know it’s very early for this, but I was bored and I felt the need to make something because of all the awesome peformances I’ve seen lately.

I also know that a lot of these horses won’t actually run in the race they’re listed under, but I tried to highlight a few leaders in some of the main divisions. Oh, and I called the Distaff what it is, because saying Ladies’ Classic is foolish.
