A horse produces about 50lb. of "fertilizer" a day. Talk about recycling?

Also, my favorite is when you're cleaning that rear hoof - the tail rises - well, you know the rest.

Yes, it's a running french braid. The longer mane comes from the Lusitano side, and so I've kept it that way (keeps the flies off in the summer) but I have to braid it up when I ride, or my fingers and reins get all tangled up in it.

"1/8 Quarter Horse"... does that make him a 1/32 Horse? :P

Whatever the percentages, he's a very handsome horse, jodi - congrats!

Quarterhorse for common sense
Lusitano for great looks
Thoroughbred for speed and power
and
Oldenburg for conformation, size and strength.

Sounds good to me!

Why the flash? My oldest daughter is now riding a 17h Oldenberg - likes to put her tongue out while cantoring so she has a flash on her (I'm referring to the horse in case there is any confusion in the peanut gallery). Same problem?

It's probably a Dressage thing.

It's considered appropriate attire for a dressage horse. I think once you are at the level that requires a double bridle, it helps hold the curb bit in place, or something like that. I put it on from the beginning, so they get used to wearing it.

I used to ride using one of these things:

Posted Image

A Western sidepull.

I used to freak everybody out, for I was at a Class A h/j place. About 60% of the time, I'd go English with a full cheek or D-ring snaffle. But when I went Western (which i did when we'd take a ride off the farm and down the street), I'd put that sidepull on him. It's sort of like a hackamore, but no pressure. Just a gentle pulll to point his nose where I wanted to go. Actually, didn't even need that. Simon was so good, I just had to look, and he'd go there.

A remarkable relationship - horse and rider, eh?

LWP - He's a young horse, so he's really very green. He's just getting balanced enough to canter some circles without running me into the wall... :D
