Quarter Horses and Jumping...

level0jumper — Sat, 31 Oct 2009 08:49:16 GMT

Hi,

I was wondering if Quarter horses are good a jumping?

I usually ride 3ft, and I'm ready to go higher to at least 3'6''. The other day I was offered a half lease for a Quarter horse right down my road (that I could bike to in less than 2 minutes.) My dad liked the fact it was close, the half lease was cheap, and that the barn the horse is in does a mixture of everything. The horse, who I am going to visit and ride on Sunday, apparently does Western, a little bit of Eq, and tiny bit of cross country. As of right now, I don't know much about the horse other than that.

I know that may not help you, but if you know anything about Quarter horses' jumping abilities, please post. Thanks so much, it iis greatly appreciated.

Does anyone know where....

SandyMarie — Thu, 05 Nov 2009 15:10:29 GMT

[font=Times New Roman]Hey everyone I am new to this website! I am in search of a Marwari horse to purchase. I am having trouble locating any in the USA. Does anyone have any ideas?[/font]

Anyone have Miniatures?

MiniAddict21 — Sat, 10 Oct 2009 10:09:36 GMT

Hey everyone. I'm new around here and was just checking to see if there are any other mini owners on here? :)

I currently own three. A 17 month old Reg. AMHA/AMHR Silver colt named Fortora Farms Grey Arrow. He is only 28 inches tall and is the first mini I have ever owned. (Have had a ton of big horses and other breeds of ponies but never minis). Then I just got two new girls yesterday. One is a Palomino Paint 3 year old. Don't know her height yet and she is just a grade mini. She is bred to a Black stallion and 6 months pregnant. After she has her foal and it has been weaned she will be taught to drive. Her name is Sanuye Skys. And lastly is Silver Belles, a 19 month old Silver/black. Again don't know her height will check later :)

Let me know if yall have minis and tell me about them hehe

Childrens Horses

Savvy4Horses — Fri, 23 Oct 2009 16:43:53 GMT

I know no particular breed is suited to children or novices but are they any other than the AQHA's who aren't gaited and have a particularily good temperment well-suited for those groups listed?

Knowledge on Standardbreds? Or TB's?

living4Christ — Tue, 22 Sep 2009 12:59:02 GMT

My new guy is a Standardbred/TB cross. He has a Standardbred body and head up to the bridge of nose, and TB legs and muzzle. I don't know a whole lot about Standardbreds as a breed in general, and close to nothing about Standardbred/TB crosses. Can anyone help me out?? Thanks in advance!

What Do You Think of Arabians?

RomeosKlassicDJ — Mon, 08 Jun 2009 12:58:26 GMT

I want to learn a little more about the Arabian from Arabian owners. I've been told that Arabians are "no good, high-strung, dangerous and should be avoided at all costs." I personally think they're very gorgeous. But then I heard that the "high-strung Arabian is a misconception. Arabians are really quite calm. Walter Farley's The Black Stallion (what a wild Arabian in that book!) and other books help to add to that misconception.

I would only like answers from Arabian owners, or people who have had a good deal of experience with Arabian horses. I would like to try and purchase an Arabian some day, so I can try them out, but I don't want a maniac at my place.

Thanks for your time in reading this post and responding to it!

Arabiains how about 'em?

Lady Bug — Sat, 24 Oct 2009 15:32:39 GMT

Hi! I know a lot of people on here think Vanners aren't good for anything, but once you see these videos, you'll be sure to change your mind! They're not mutt horses. They've been bred for half a century by gypsies, and america is finally discovering the breed. They're really the most amazing horses.

Arabian/Paint cross

Triple My Gold — Thu, 15 Oct 2009 14:25:47 GMT

My mother recently bought a yearling filly, half APHA paint and hald Arabian. She wants me to help train the filly and possibly show her locally as well.

I have heard that Arabians shouldn't be ridden until they reach the age of 3. I know for most other horse breeds, the general rule of thumb is to begin under-saddle training when the horse is 2. Since this filly is not a purebred Arabian, would I still need to wait until she is 3 to begin riding her? Or would starting her under saddle in the spring be better? I started a quarter horse filly under saddle when she was 2, but I don't know if that is the same process or not

Tennesse walking horses and trotting.

Equitate — Wed, 16 Sep 2009 12:41:31 GMT

I have a TWH and he is used mainly trotting. I can tell he is "unhappy" at the trot. At a regular gait (running walk) he is fine. So i have ruled out that his uncomfortable behavior is from a "injury". I am wondering if I should continue trotting him, despite his "unhappiness". And does it "hurt" him to trot or is he just frustrated for some reason?

Also, what is your opinion on training a TWH out of his natural gait and teaching him to trot?

And for those of you who say "TWH can't trot" well guess what, some can. thanks everyone!

zippo quarter horse

turn/burnavq — Mon, 22 Jun 2009 16:50:04 GMT

I have a double bred Zippo pine bar appendix quarter horse. His sire's side has the Zippo lines. His dam's side has thoroughbred and Tonta lines. I purchased him as a barrell prospect, but now I'm rethinking this. He has a split personality. One minute he is very well behaved. Doing all I ask. Perfect pattern, even winning money. Then the next minute he asks totally different:bucks,runs you over, refusing to go forward, spooking at things he has seen from birth, and other acts reulting in him needing stitches and a cast. During one of his "fits" at the local fair, the judge asked my son if he had Zippo breeding. My son stated yes, and the judge said that he heard it was common for them to through "fits". Is this true?

TWH jumping?

niccifoxy — Tue, 01 Apr 2008 10:22:12 GMT

My Tennessee Walking horse loves to jump over small trees and logs, ect in the pasture, but I think he's only once with a rider. Would it be possible to show him or even train him over jumps since he's gaited?

I am going to be western AND english riding and competing and jumping and sometimes barrel racing (just for fun) i will go on trail rides so not a horse that gets spooked easily!

I will be doing lessons sometimes! so yeah please answer the question don't say use spell check its annoying so please just say a answer if you don't know don't answer the question! THANKS!!!!!!!!!!

QH bloodlines

Casal — Sun, 19 Jul 2009 20:23:11 GMT

hi. i have a quarter horse mare named dolly that i have the registration on but no one seems to know the bloodlines. she supposedly comes from a champion reining sire and she seems to practice reining in her pasture although she is now jumping 2'9" ...

so, her sire is FLASHY GOLDEN ZIPPER. if anyone has any information, know this horse, or have a website on this horse please let me know. i'd love to know who her daddy is.

thanks!

Used to hate Walkers.

Pretty_Penny — Fri, 14 Jul 2006 15:29:26 GMT

MY FAVORITE classic horse movie is "Horse in the Gray Flannel Suit" and when I watched it as a young girl, I would hate the scene where it was the "big fanallie" show and they were showing all the diffrent breeds and deciplines coming out into the arena and when the TWs came out, I would hate the way they were either trotting or gaiting (can't remeber) and I would cringe at watching it because I thought it was ugly. Trying to remeber here, but is that actually the way that they trot or gait? 7 years later and still wanting to know.

Judge The Breed

ponylover — Thu, 30 Apr 2009 10:35:15 GMT

So I thought this would be a fun, learning idea for everyone. So here how it goes, I will post a picture up and everyone will sort of judge it. It's kind of a fun game to know everyones opinons on different breed of horses.

Example: The Mustang Breed

These are not real comments from people

The Mustang is a wild untrainable breed, that should just die out, they eat all my grass and I want them gone.

They are beautiful free breed, that should be admired.

Great trail horses

A powerful, headstrong breed that needs a trusting dominant owner.

......I really really want one.

They have nice hair...

Get it?

So here is the breed that all of you can judge, and it will be fun to know everyones opinion on the breed. Now remember these are people opinions so don't be critical, it's there opinion, Have fun!

The breed is; The Welsh Pony
