| The Conversation Pit This is where EVERYTHING else goes. No subject is too mundane. How's the weather in your area? Did your kid cut his first tooth? Really, what do you think about the President? And don't get me started on Cummins and Duramaxes. Have at it! |

I couldn't have said it better, I have a 5yo coming along but dam it takes a bunch of wet saddle pads to make a good one & I ain't getting any younger. Sounds like you know the feeling Longshot, back in the box & if the boy on the head turns him I always knew that lil red joker would give me my shot, he held up his end quite a few more times than I did. I always wondered how good he could have been if somebody that knew what they were doing trained on him awhile. I just stayed out of his way & let him make a horse out of hisself, if you know what I mean. He was a cow hateing SOB rite from the get go. BTW I kept him through 2 divorces ... lol

My great grandpa and my mom have been more into the trail events but my great grandpa trained all kinds of horses. He did everything from breaking brood mares to some championship polo horses. He also liked to train his horses to do tricks. I can post some pics. We still have some of the originals from the 50's.

Well the majority of the people who show and do horses don't train the horse themselves. Everyone around here sends them off to other states to be trained.
 We've always trained our own animals.

Great pics, I know what you mean most of the folks just wanna throw thier silver saddles on & ride around the arena. Pay big $$ to have someone else make the horse.

The benefit of training your own that most people dont see is the difference in loyalty. A horse that you trained is more loyal because they recognize the time you put in working with them. A trainer trained horse is social, still loyal just not in the same way. Most people dont look close enough to see it though.
