| I honestly love the baby brain. They can be a handful but they're entertaining at times. I'm glad he wound up in your care, sounds much better for him. |

| Maybe a hot take here but I will die on the hill of not starting a horse under saddle with rider until they're at least 3, and they're still babies at 3. |

| Yeah, thinking Rocky was maybe a two year old? He was a baby. Hasn't been ridden since he got here, so he's getting time to grow up and mature. He's really a sweet boy, but he still has the baby short attention span |
| El Cuco |
| That's awful. My old scronny Arab gal was bigger than that, and my dad is about the same size and rising western. It was a fat "no" when he wanted to ride her. Poor horse. |
| E.T. Eventing |
| Void - Yikes. I am glad to hear he is in better days now. Myth - That is absolutely horrible. I can't imagine your pain. |
| The Old Gods |
| His back is largely straightened up...When he's not being an idiot and trying to recreate an indy 500 crash... |

| cuco I feel you there, we've got a number of young horses we're bringing up that really need moving because we just cannot keep up with all of them and the farm chores and the maintenance and and and... it's a slow process unfortunately |
| The Old Gods |
| I'll stick to being a realist. Zrek: Rocky's doing better. He was a fine boned youngster (arab cross that was 14 hands or so) being ridden by a 200+ guy with a 30 pound western saddle 🙃 |
| El Cuco |
| Gladius, he's big enough and I'm small enough that I can start him on the basics, but anything I'd like to do long term would be too harsh on him, so finding a good kid is %100 the best bet. As much as I'd be fine with him just laying around doing nothing in the pasture for forever, my dad is paying for his upkeep, so I'm sure he'd appreciate if I can get him off of his hands lol. |

| zrek - right? doing and volunteering at an equitherapy place really opened my eyes to the rider issues that translate into horse struggles |
| E.T. Eventing |
| Gladius - Townend shouldn't even be riding. He clearly has severe emotional regulation issues if he feels the need to beat a horse through a round. |
| E.T. Eventing |
| Myth - up and down. I have been doing better generally but on and off still having emotional pains about the future. Just scared of going into a world that might take away my soul again and it's difficult to calm down when I see no way out. What about you? |
| Gaelic Gladiacres |
| there's a balance to be struck, void. yes there are too many cases of horses being overfaced (I honestly don't think Cooley Roselent should've been doing 5 star at 9 based on what I saw at MD 5* but what do I know) but two things can be true at once: possibilities are endless, and there are too many who ignore the dangers and damages in the name of that |
| The Old Gods |
| I volunteered for a therapeutic riding place for mentally and physically disabled people. It was pretty common for people to dump off their broken down show horses for the tax write off |
