Adventures with D

Adventures with D

as most of you guys know i have jsut acquired a new horse, im hopin this one will keep me a little less suicidal and less urges to self harm.

so lets have a thread about D or as @Former-Member one calls her Delicious

so first up let me give you a run down of D

she is 8 years old and is 16 hand high. she is bay in colour with a white marking on her leg and face.

D hasnt had a stable home for a very long time and her previous owners decided Amercia was more important to them then their own horse so they up and left her her in Australia, left to fend for herself in the paddock.

her feet are terrible, she malnourished, her teeth i question whether they ahve ever been floated and she hasnt been ridden that i know of and if she was she was broken in and then left.

so as you can see D hasnt had the best life or upbringing either so im hopin i can help her out.

first things first get her to gain some trust in me and start nourishing her with the feeds she needs, get her feet done and tetth floated as well

@Queenie i do have natural horseman ship training as well.

i jsut see how the horse responds or which one they seem to respond to better- if that makes sense. my traingin method is pretty much an allrounder and jsut use whatever works for each horse.

Re: Adventures with D

@outlander Parelli can be really good but I once met someone who took it too far. They trained their horse to sit on a bucket for a party trick.

Re: Adventures with D
