Re: Nothing like a good horse!!!
We had a rescue Haflinger for a few years. Had to board it at the vets because although we live in a rural area, our property is all either swamp or really steep and irregular (very hard to fence) hills. It was a pretty cool animal, and my wife trained it for safe saddle riding. After a bit we found a family that had a small working farm and wanted him to pull carts and stuff, so we figured he'd have fun and be more appreciated there, and gave him to them.

Grass looks good; you must have had a wet spring. We are still having rain in north central Texas and our Welsh ponies are belly deep in grass in some places.

Re: Nothing like a good horse!!!
Any man who rescues an animal in trouble is a man to ride with. Those that abuse animals..I'd like to have a short but very intense discussion with.

He is a good looking horse. A fine head and a strong body.
Do you know what breed he is?

Re: Nothing like a good horse!!!
A fine looking horse, you have done a great job by the look of him.
Do you just use a bosal for training or do you usually ride with one?.

kiddos.
