			<description>Well the dry weather and the mares of our heard being in season drew the brumbies from the bush busting fences to join the pack. Thankfully Chips being very much the Alpha kept things relatively sane. I had made the decision to shoot them and save the mares from being continually knocked about by the two freeloaders. I couldnt do it to soft I know but they were magnicient specimens of Brumby flesh. No way of catching them and no yard or corner strong enough to run them into I decided to lead  ...</description>

Doing an assignment on horse vices/ abnormal behaviours and need to study 4 different vices... For each vice I need a photo of a horse doing it, I have weaving photos so far, and thought if anyone has photos of their horses doing something cosidered a 'vice' or abnormal behaviour then please post on this thread (that is if you also allow me to use it in my assignment)... Please also attach any details, such as horse name, your name, date etc and whatever you would like referenced...

Pelvis out again, very sad!

Yesterday I cut our ride short as Charley didn't seem right for some reason, was dipping lots to get into trot and cutting through circles not wanting to trot around and bend... So I walked him off and put him out as usual... Thought he may have just had an off day...

 

Today went to get him from his day paddock with the other boys, and he just didnt seem his usual bright and happy self...  ...]]></description>

We decided to have it catered and are going with a spit roast with veges, salads, condiments etc.



There will also be delicious deserts for afters.



We thought everyone might appreciate a good old roast dinner at the end of the day and that by having it catered, we could all concentrate an having a chat and checking out each others &quot;brag books&quot;

			<description>Hi All,

 

Haven't been posting much as I have been sooo busy... Trying to ride at any opportunity.

 

Anyway, for those interested-

 

Charley has settled in soo well. He now gets put in a larger shared paddock during the day and gets to run around with another 3 horses. He loves it! He loves them!

 

I'm getting used to his trot now, so we have started doing our 20m circles and figure eights... He's a little stuffed after our sessions, considering he was only used for very occasional trails  ...</description>

24 y.o. black bay mare

14.2hh medium build

Broken to saddle and ridden by children when younger.

Will make a good horse for a smaller child to ride.

Is well mannered and easy to do anything with

In good condition and rugged all year round





Cazzee, can you tell me if this mare is still available and if she would be any good for a RAW beginner?



Cheers,

			<description>Hi everyone, I thought it was about time I introduced myself.  I was waiting till I got another standie, but that will happen soon enough.  I bought my first standardbred 8 years ago and fell in love with them.  Have spent the last few years with mostly thoroughbreds, but they are not quite the same as im sure you are all aware.  I have already met a couple of you and cant wait to meet everyone else.  Hopefully I will have a standie to take to the trail ride, otherwise I might have to bring something  ...</description>

			<description>Hi Everyone!



I'm rather new to the world of standardbreds (I brought my beautiful big 8yo boy in August 2009). Amoss had only been off the track and under saddle for 4 weeks when I brough him, but you'd think he had been a saddle horse for years!



I have only ever owned OTT thoroughbreds, but after a riding accident 2 years ago I wanted a level headed horse to regain my confidence. Since buying Amoss I have completely fallen in love with Standardbreds and their amazing temperament.

I'm new to the site, the group and Standie land! I'm a beginner horsey person, having lessons and trails (about 3 or 4 rides per week) for past few months. One of those things that I always wanted to do, but just never did and time passed so quickly. So I'm an adult beginner, and started jumping a few weeks ago - LOVE IT!

 

I spend time helping people with their horses and helping untack, wash and put away at my riding school.. I started looking at horsey ads months ago and for  ...</description>

			<description> Hello everyone,

In the past 14 months, my family and I have adopted a total of 7 horses through AFTER, two mares which are now in foal and due within the next two months. Only one horse have we had to re-home, due to the fact that he needed more work and turned out being a great cattle horse. When we adopted each horse, they showed no sense of being cared for from previous owners. This included mattered manes and tails that had been braided and left for months to make a great mess, broken hooves  ...</description>
