FreeRepublic Saddle Club thread! - Thread 12

Posted on 08/07/2007 7:33:14 AM PDT by HairOfTheDog

The FreeRepublic Saddle Club - (very out of date) Who's Who *pics*

This is a horse chat thread where we share ideas, ask for input from other horsemen, and talk about our riding and horse-keeping. We have a lot of different kinds of riders and horses, and a lot to share, usually about our horses, sometimes about our dogs, gardens and other stuff we do. :~)

I have a ping list for horse threads that are of interest, and MissTargets will ping everyone most mornings. Let MissTargets and/or me know if you would like to be on the ping list.

So... like the previous threads, this is intended as fun place to come and share stories, pictures, questions and chit-chat, unguided and unmoderated and that we come together here as friends.

I have a few questions about Hope:)

Does she lunge? If so does she do it gaiting, or trotting?

I’m wondering because I don’t really know if at a competition, they HAVE to trot, or if gaiting will be OK....I’m hoping they can gait. (course I’m really jumping the gun here:)

And something funny and interesting I was telling Mack, that even brought a smile to his face is, if I get her, once she is really working well for me, gaiting....wouldn’t it be fun/funny to teach her barrels, take her to competition and gait around them, and even maybe place:) As fast as they go, I’ll bet she could:) Might start a new trend...LOL.

Well, it is a GORGEOUS day out here today, I’m going to go outside... take horse blankets off and let them run naked in the sun... I could use some time in the sun myself. :~)

Then clean stalls.

Well, I’ve never really lunged Hope to speak of (or any of mine for that matter), but when I did, she trotted, and she trots when she’s just out running around the pasture. The only time I’ve ever really seen her gait is under saddle, so you really shouldn’t have a problem with the judges at all.

And as far as running barrels and placing... I kinda doubt it. It may feel fast when you’re out on a trail, but it’s nothing when compared to the wide-ass-open gallop that I’ve seen most of those people do them at. It might be good for novelty value though. Now I have heard of people doing Team Penning on gaited horses. Never seen it, but I’ve heard of it.
