  • Cool! What are his bloodlines? And whats his reg. name??
    <br>I don't have the paper work with me so I'm not sure of his bloodlines or registered name, but when I get the paperwork I'll let you know ;)<br><br>I start his full time rehabilitation process next tuesday! I'll be working with him 3 times a week to get him to trust me, and whatnot :)

  • Oh! He's cute! That's funny... we had a horse named Romeo that looked just like him. He passed away a few months ago though.

  • <span style="font-weight:bold">Update</span><br>Did some training with him today, and as my usual forgetful self, I didn't remember to take any pictures even though my camera was right there the whole time >.< Guess I got too caught up with him xD<br><br>Anyways, we did some target training today with a TON of success!<br>De-sensitized him to plastic bag which went really well! We actually ended up using the 'scary bag' as his target so he had to make it make a noise to get his reward. He quickly learned that if he touched the bag he gots lots of lovin'. Haha. <br>I wish I had video of his target training! It was ADORABLE! And he caught on within 10 minutes and wasn't spooked by the noise, in fact, he ended up walking over an old feed bag on accident and thinking he was going to flip out, I turned and tried to calm him but he just stuck his nose in my face like 'Look! Look it makes the noise!' and wanted affection. <br>He's such a sweet guy, I PROMISE next time I go over there I will get pictures!

  • Hes just the tiniest bit downhill. Also looks like he's slightly toed in the back too. Cant tell in the front. His neck ties in a LIIITTLE low it looks like. The angle is kind of off but id definitallu give him a look if i were in the market for another horse. I had to grasp for stuff to critique =)

    <br><br>I'm going to get a better pic next week, this was just a last minute thing lol but it's good to know he looks fairly good! I don't know much about the physique of QHs.xD<br>He's also CAKED in mud, that little turd likes to be dirty too much<br>In western do they have to stand with front and back feet square? In English it's just the front but I couldn't remember for western.
    robanner_zps46f75ebe.png
  • Yesss. Western all four feet need to be squared. I really do like him. His back half is a little harder to critique, his neck is down and i cant see his face so no critiques on that lol!! Just be warned. QH's generally have shorter strides than other horses. Course my QH doesnt but i rode one today that had a lope like a roller coaster, and my paint who is built like a shorty like Romeo, while she isnt choppy... her strides are shorter.

    <br>Alright, good to know :) I'll take pics with front and back squared as well as just front. <br>I lunged him for the first time the other day and he's pretty bouncy at a trot. He doesn't seem to have much of a lope, it's kind of an awkward speed for him it seems like. He doesn't know how to collect himself because he's never been under saddle so that will just take time and training.

  • Most definitally. However if you want a horse who can MOVE... youve made the right choice in a QH

  • Decided I'm going to venture out to see him again tomorrow. There are going to be a TON of people there I'm sure. Hopefully everyone will clear out around 4 and I can get some alone time with him in the indoor arena. <br>So maybe more pics and fun stuff tomorrow!
