I've got a 21 month old appendix QH gelding, who is the calmest horse I've ever seen. The other day I tossed a full-body blanket on him without anyone holding him, and he paid no attention to it at all. Just stood there while I fitted it to him. I believe he will be a hunter, but want to try him out in other styles too. Probably going to be a dressage horse as well, possibly some contesting. I believe I could probably get on him without a problem, but I have to have him ready for it as far as training. I don't have a round pen, and if I use driving lines then I will have to borrow them. I have a curcingle and cavesson, but they haven't done be any good so I won't be using them. I am asking for tips in getting him to longe in the pasture; he doesn't get the idea of running in a circle and not standing next to me. Also, what tack? I think I will probably start with a tom thumb, and a regular western bridle and saddle. If english, I will probably use a regular o-ring.

when an owner tries to save her horse after it falls while jumping (or any other activity where the owner would be riding the horse), people support the owner, but when a horse falls in a race and the owner tries to save it, people criticize the owner for only wanting money?

I started riding 3 years ago and until the last few months I was showing in walk-trot. I finally won a blue and a red in walk trot and now that I'm in walk-trot-canter I can't get any higher than 5th. I started jumping this year and do about 1 foot cross rails. Is this where I should be? Is 3 years too long to be in walk-trot? Should I just give up or am I making decent progress?

1. I have heard that the saddles provide more security for the rider... is this true?

2. Also, does anyone know if it is difficult to learn to ride in an Australian saddle.

3. Do horses have to be trained specificly for an australian saddle?

Thank you so much for your help!

I have an 8, almost 9 year old american quarter horse mare named Bailey. I show mostly at our county fair in the middle of July. I don't really ride in winter, because I don't have a good place to ride other than the pasture, or fields around my house. During fair week, she is amazing, and does what I ask. She is an incredible contester, as well as reiner and dressage horse. We are starting jumping this year too. I've been riding almost ten years, have had horses for most of my life. My problem with Bailey is that she is so jumpy and psycho during off-season. Every year I have to pretty much re-train her. I know I need to ride more in winter, but what else can I do to have her calm all the time. Last year, in April, I took her to a clinic and the trainer thought she was a green young mare. Shes been ridden for 5 or 6 years, not green. I love riding her, we open up in the fields in fall and just FLY. But I went to ride the other day and couldnt get on her by our trailer.

I don't mean horse racing jockey's. I'm talking about normal riders, show jumpers, etc.

What's the best weight for your best performance.

I'm female, 25, and I weigh 11stone. I'm 5'5. was thinking of losing 2 stone and seeing if that will improve my riding.

What do you think?
