Remudamom Posted January 5, 2013 Author Share Posted January 5, 2013 Well, it's not like we don't have an Arabian already. And a half Arabian. And two Quarter horses. And a Welsh. I think we're good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

astrid Posted January 5, 2013 Share Posted January 5, 2013 I"m sorry she was such a rebel because I know how aggravating it is to see an animal you put hard work into and then handed it over to someone else act like a fool. On the other hand, it made your decision easier. Too bad-- she's a lovely mover. astrid Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CanaryMelody Posted January 5, 2013 Share Posted January 5, 2013 What a disappointment. It is hard to see a horse like that. As others said, this makes the decision easier for you. I sure hope the lady warns whoever eventually owns her. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Live2Ride Posted January 5, 2013 Share Posted January 5, 2013 Right decision Remuda. I wouldn't touch her and I think they are going to have a hard time selling her acting like that. I hope mine goes better tomorrow. I wish you were closer. You could come get one of these here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Live2Ride Posted January 5, 2013 Share Posted January 5, 2013 She would probably do lovely as an endurance mare....if someone could tame her down...let her run it out a few times....she will probably settle, but she will probably always be one that wants to go.

She'd be great in endurance. Unfortunately NOT a husband horse. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
astrid Posted January 5, 2013 Share Posted January 5, 2013 When the lady rode her two years ago filly had been at the trainer's for six weeks and was barely manageable. She nearly threw me, dh had to hold her still for me to dismount. I put her up for sale that night and this lady called me at once. She had wanted to buy her as a yearling. Anyhow, I told her what was going on and she met me at the trainer's the next day. She got on and the filly exploded, worse than she did with me the day before. She stayed on and rode her into the ground. Even the trainer was impressed. He said "She'll make a horse out of her!" She called me about an hour later and said "I'll trade you my Quarter mare for her" Done deal. She's got a three year old child. I don't see how she can have time to ride. I was really impressed with how she stayed on that first day. She's a horse that will need to be ridden extensively for a long time to get her where she needs to be. Ds could manage her, but I don't want him to. He's already got a young Arab to ride. Ahhh...for some reason I was thinking you broke her and sold her. Wow-- sounds like she's always been a firecracker! I don't blame you-- not worth the risk, and to me it sounds like she needs lots of miles on her. Wait-- maybe a good endurance mount? astrid Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wait-- maybe a good endurance mount? astrid I did do ground work with her before sending her to the trainer's. I was pretty annoyed with him because I don't think he had been faithfully riding her for the six weeks. Otoh, I expected her to be difficult, which is why I didn't want to back her myself. She has always been wild. Of course the lady that got her knew this. But she wanted her anyway. She had wanted her for over a year and I refused to sell until I could see how she did. I saw alright.

creekland Posted January 5, 2013 Share Posted January 5, 2013 Sorry to hear the report, but I think you made the correct decision. I hope she can find the right home for her. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ottakee Posted January 5, 2013 Share Posted January 5, 2013 Sounds like the right decision. No sense in risking your kids or yourself with a horse that isn't well trained. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
