So right now I am training a very cheeky Welsh Section D named Uber for the purpose of resale. He is a total dork and definitely knows how to push my buttons. I figured I'd share our journey with you guys!These will start as daily updates and will become weekly updates eventually. He is being trained into Eventing but enjoy the experience of Hunters, Barrel Racing, Equitation and Trail Riding on Uber with me! A bit more about Uber and how I got him: Age: 9 Color: Faded Black and White Tobiano Height: 13.1hh Backstory: I really don't know what Uber has done in his early years. He's broke of course but was a western pony strictly. His attitude seemed to scare people away. We found him when shopping for ponies for my sister. Uber appeared extremely unhappy and lazy so of course she disliked him. He tried to buck me off when I rode him but I knew I needed that pony. So... I finally got him.
Our journey so far:I've had Uber for almost a month. I was very fed up with the fact that he was so unwilling to learn and I gave him the cold shoulder for a week. After he went to a friends house for a couple days and we hauled over to pick him up and ride our other horses at their place I rode him again. He was awful. A total tool refusing everything, pissing me off and making me hate him even more to the point where I gave up. Again, the cold shoulder. 2 days later I'm riding him again and we clicked. My worst enemy became my best friend. We went from refusing tiny crossrails to jumping 2'6" courses bareback in a couple days. Now, we just play around and he tries to buck me off or stop in his tracks to throw me yet I still love him. I hope you follow Uber's journey into a new lifestyle with me!

Feel free to use these as stock if you'd like but pm me and credit me if you do!
Also: I would greatly appreciate some help with training exercises I can do with him to help our jumping or increase his muscle. I have a few that I do with him but I would love to introduce more! |

Welcome to the new thread! Small Update: On 8/25 we went to a playday and ran barrels and poles with the addition of two other events. Somehow pony boy ran his legs off against (32)!! other horse and rider combos and we pulled off High Point Champion!!! So proud of him lately and how he's been progressing! We have also stepped into jumping 2'9"! |
