There was a women at the stable I work at who has no horse sense! She has had riding experience and this spring bought a nice trained mare with a nice personality. A few months ago she buys a green Standardbred gelding for her green husband to ride! The gelding threw her husband the first time he rode him! The husband ended up breaking his collarbone and a few ribs! I hate people like that! They think they know everything and then do something stupid! I wish this woman would get a clue! Her husband should be doing riding lessons by someone who knows what they are doing on a trained horse frist!Then the Standardbred should be in training until both are ready for each other! If the wife had any horse sense this wouldn't of happen!

yikes, what a turn off horses for the hubby. who in their right mind would do that to someone. sorry not a big fan of standardbreds, and it takes a lot of work to educate a s.b. for normal riding. sounds as bad as my bros g.f. she was a bit pig headed about getting a horse, and decided she wanted on from the sales basically. he had been great up till start of sep i think, then he dumped her not sure why exactly. but he's been diffcult since then to do things with. catching him for one thing, then you can't get on him. she wanted to send him away for work but mum said no not when i can do it, all it takes is a bit of asking. i'm thinking he was doped and it's worn off and we've got a problem with it, now and got to go back to square one.

Thanks for the response. Since I wrote this discussion this woman moved her horses to a different stable. I think she did because she thinks it is a better stable then the one I work at! It might not be! Anyway I'm sure if something would happen at the new stable it will go through the grapevine and I'll hear about it!

the horse industry is small and i'm sure you'll hear about it in the grape vine.

Every barn/stable has one or two people like the lady at your barn,
THE KNOW IT ALL who knows NOTHING in reality. The last one over at my brother's barn was a guy I named the Video Cowboy, every time he watched RFD for more than an hour, we all knew it because he couldn't wait to instruct every last one of us as to what was the best way to do ________(insert any horse related task). VC got ran over by a car on his bicycle a while back, sold his horse, he no longer knows anything about horses. lol

that is SO true

its like the English think that you have to put a small child on a pony - well, said pony may not be a good choice because what the child learning to ride needs is a nice, docile, well trained animal of whatever size

The first horse I ever rode was almost 30 yrs old and for the first year the youngest horse I rode was 25. They were all old and "bullet proof" to beginning riders. When I became a more novice rider I moved on to younger horses. I won't say I ever became an expert rider, but that's more because I have poor conformation and timing, I personally wouldn't ever care to ride a young, green horse. I did it a few times and regretted it every time.

I have never been an expect rider amd never will be. When I rode this late summer those 2 times I rode a four year old. Luckily she is mellow and didn't freak like some young horses do! She not had a of training but she is a good please horse!

My favorite horse growing up was a smart 13 3 pony named Sundown. She was, like many ponies, smarter sometimes than it was good for her. Her second daughter, Sunup, was 14 3, and just a sweet tempered little horse they were TEACHING on at 5.

Sundown was still pulling her tricks at 20, I don't think Sunup was smart enough to have tricks - but she was a pretty little blue eyed horse.

bet she thinks she does though. if you don't really know what you are doing - with horses or indeed anything - then the sensible thing is to ask someone with experience. are these people really arrogant or just dense? it isn't fair on the horses apart from anything else...


myLot reputation of 84/100. blue65packer (1838)   ranked 7 out of 533 in horses  4 weeks ago

The know it alls are arrogant and quite dense! It sure isn't fair to the horses! I toldly agree on that! I hope this woman wakes up some day and gets help! She needs it!

a dreadful combination - think they'll have learnt anything from mr knowit's fall?
