I think this video is cute. It shows the playful side of a horse. Yes I have many times showed and explained how dangerous a horse can be, but they are also very playful and loving. When I originally was looking up videos to share I was looking up videos for jumping, but I seen this and I couldn't help but share it with you.

Here is my jumping video though this takes so much talent, balance, and strength to be able to do. The credit for this does not just go to the rider ,but also to the horse. This horse is beautiful and amazing and one day I would love to be able to train a horse like this.
Thank you for reading

Today I wanted to talk about my experience with handling a foal. At my barn there is a foal named AK, and he is very strong and spirited. there are a few people at the barn who have realized just how strong this foal can be. He has drug someone threw the pasture before and got loose, lucky for us we were in the pasture before he decided to take off , and we had to chase him down which if you have been around a foal is almost impossible in a wide open area, however I was holding his mother still and he walked over to see her and I managed to grab him again.
Another time we had a costume party and he drug my friend down the hall, she managed to stay on her feet though, and with help of our teacher we calmed him down enough to get him outside where he continued to try to buck and get away. He almost knocked her over once because he jumped sideways and almost landed on her.
My point in this is foals can be very dangerous and difficult to work with. A baby however loves to be with its mother the same way a foal would want to be with theirs, so the foal wont go to far even if it does get away from you .
Thank you for reading . :)

These are funny horse pics i forgot to put up yesterday hope you enjoy..

 

Today I was looking at articles and when I was reading one I came across a quote that i want to share.

"Many accidents can be prevented by taking the time to evaluate your horse’s environment and removing potential hazards.  Mentally rehearse your emergency action plan.  In an emergency, time is critical.  Don’t be concerned with overreacting or annoying your veterinarian."

            This quote was something I wanted to share because I agree. Do not be one of those horse owners who freaks out over every little thing, just because your vet. says you can call after hours, does not mean you should call all the time about things you could figure out on your own that are not serious problems. If it is a serious problem  or you know there is definitely an emergency that you cannot fix on your own you should call your vet. I also agree that many accidents can be prevented however there are also some that cannot, but be sure to try to make the environment as safe as possible for your horse and yourself. If your horse is happy then you will be happy

                       ** I really like how healthy this horse looks so I thought I would share . ps.this is a Friesian.

                     

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0w6AIQSZqMII wanted to show this video to you to show you how dangerous horses really can be. Ridding might be a lot of fun but if you watched the video, you can see that it can also be very dangerous. Horses are very gentle animals most of the time because they are mostly looked at as runners, if something is wrong they flee. That doesn't mean they wont strike out if they are scared and cannot run. Some horses are known to buck. If you have a horse like that you should try lunging them before you get on and let them run and buck it out before you get on their back. If a horse refuses a jump or you fall of always get back up and try it again. always end on a good note. Thanks for reading hope you like the video.

Today I want to talk about different horse breeds.
-Palomino horses are roughly the same color as a newly minted gold coin, they have very light colored manes and tails. There is a preferred height which is between 14-2 to 16 hands (1 hand = 4 inches). The preferred weight is from 1000-1200lbs. These horses are generally used for parade, pleasure, fine harness, stock, and saddle horses.

-Thoroughbred horses are known as the breed for speed. A normal Thoroughbred will stand anywhere from 15-17 hands and weigh about 900-1025 lbs. They are generally race horses, but they have also been used in many English ridding classes such as dressage, jumping, or even polo ponies.

-Paint horses are stock horses, but are best known for there beautiful spotted colors patterns. There are two main types of paint patterns overo, and tobiano. Occasionally you end up with a tovero, which means that the horse shows signs of both. Paint horses are closely related to the Quarter Horse. These horses however can be used in many different things from western to English ridding these horses can be slow and calm, or the worlds best English dressage horse or even the great jumper.
