2008-12-07	Amberjane	10	10	10	10	Yes	Thankyou so much for your help. I try and help my mum out as much as I can, and have even made her stop giving me pocket money to help the cost of my riding. I love my auntie so much, as she introduced me to the most important thing in my life. I just wish I could have my own pony! I'm not stupid though.. I know how much care and attention a pony needs, and how much they cost to keep. A friend of mine has a pony and she pays £23 a week for the stables, but it is a DIY livery and then she has to pay her feed on top of that. She has to go in a morning to muck out and bed up, and then go on a night after school to ride. I hope to maybe get my own horse when I'm old enough to pay for it myself, and maybe compete in shows. I would love to be able to become a professional rider, but I don't think I would reach that standard. I would never buy a horse without being able to pay for it myself, and I will hopefully .....
2008-11-12	roseanne	10	10	10	10	No	Thankyou for your time I was trying to determine if my mare was pregnant without calling the vet.
2008-01-25	Jami	10	10	10	10	No	A lot of insight. Thank you! Winchester is not a bad boy, he is just young and I respect the fact that you understand that. Patients always on my part of course. He is bright and he wants to please me so I feel these are just 'baby' issues that we are going to have to work through. I have had trainers tell me stuff like to 'whip his legs with a crop' when he starts to rear, if he pulls his foot away 'hang on until he falls down', and my favorite 'he is a spoiled brat and needs a heavy hand'. I don't believe that hurting an animal is teaching an animal. Spoiled, maybe a bit, loved and respected, a lot! He leads well (almost all the time), backs with a voice command, bends left, right, and at the poll when requested and will let me touch him any where. He will loose tie and most times will let me handle his feet. I believe that he is doing well for only 3 months of work. The farrier came out a couple of days ago and he did ok. Could have been better but definetly could have been .....

Expertise

I do not participate in shows any more so some of my show specific knowledge could be out of date.

Experience

I have been involved in horses for approximately 45 years. I showed hunters, jumpers and stock horses. In the 80's I was licensed as a trainer on the race track. I have run broodmare operations, delivered foals and taught everything from what to feed and which end the shoes go on to advanced jumping. I tend to be impatient with owners who think their horses prefer to be locked up in confined spaces. Even my show and race horses rarely spent more than only the night before an event in a stall...the rest of the time they had room to run. In 1975 I rode a Quarter Horse Stallion and a Thoroughbred Mare solo from Minneapolis to San Francisco.
