Live2Ride Posted October 21, 2013 Share Posted October 21, 2013 She is a sweet 3 yr old Saddlebred/Arabian cross. An endurance hopeful if she is not flighty. She has been under saddle, lightly, for a year already. Now it's time to teach her the finer points in becoming a great riding mount :). Her gear/tack color is actually purple, but seeing as I'm waiting for much of it to arrive, she'll have to wear my gelding's blue tack ;). Our biggest obstacle right now is figuring out her name! Our short list includes: Teagan, Kaiya, Gracie, or Stella. Isobella has also been thrown in there :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Live2Ride Posted October 21, 2013 Author Share Posted October 21, 2013 She is very graceful when moving. She is quite sweet and decided in that last photo that the scratches I was giving weren't quite enough when I quit. So she made my arm useful, lol.

ktgrok Posted October 21, 2013 Share Posted October 21, 2013 I like Kaiya. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Live2Ride Posted October 21, 2013 Author Share Posted October 21, 2013 We are leaning towards Kaiya too. Sounds interesting and it's unusual. We already have a Jeaux (Joe) and a Luka here, so we can't have any names that start with those consonants. I also like names starting with hard consonants. They seem to hear it better out in the field when we call. Funny alilac! But no. LOL. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Live2Ride Posted October 21, 2013 Author Share Posted October 21, 2013 Margaret, I have another one here as well who also has some QH in him. Mosly the QH sire gave him more bone, because when you look at Jeaux you can see the saddlebred in him: big shoulder, neck ties in higher, longer head with well proportioned ears that tip a bit inwards like an arab :) . And he can go go go like an arab :) . He is more of a snorter/blower than a spooker :) which is nice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Catwoman Posted October 21, 2013 Share Posted October 21, 2013 Wow, she's stunning!!! :001_wub: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Live2Ride Posted October 21, 2013 Author Share Posted October 21, 2013 Oh my gosh, thats funny, but so not funny too. I wonder what they think about when there is an irrational fear like that. Jeaux is 16 and has had a rough year...a colic episode and a rather long seizure on top of that, a stomach ulcer (treated) and his normal silly slightly nervous self was turned up a few notches. He's now on ulcer guard meds and a calming supplement. It has definitely brought his anxiety down. Ours is a total spook--he's TERRIFED of petunias, which was tough as they are often around dressage rings. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ottakee Posted October 21, 2013 Share Posted October 21, 2013 My daughter's friend has an Arab/Saddlebred mix. NICE horse. He is not very spooky. He has a few things but she rides him all over on her own and he does great. He is a nice mover as well. We have "colors" for each of our horses as well. My tri color paint has black, the bay 1/2 arab is forest green and the buckskin 1/2 arab is royal blue. Not all of the tack is those colors as we have to go with what we have that fits which horse but they have their halters, leads, and buckets in those colors.
