He fell over in the trot… <br /><br />I will remember to keep you in mind if I do decided to get a baby, I love the idea of having the bond that I see that you and Chrome have got because it looks amazing and that infinite amount of trust, I'm super excited about it, while I thought that it was going to be this year that I got the horse it might end up being next year, i'm still keeping my eye out but i want to make sure that the time is right for both me and the horse other wise it just wouldn't be fair on either of us. I love that horses teach so much and I think that this might be the best option for me at this moment in time. i'm thinking about doing a pro's and con's type post about whether to get a baby or not as well.

When he fell down was he cantering or trotting or walking? If he fell at a walk I would be really worried something neurological is going on with him.... if you ever have any questions about raising a baby from diet, exercise, turnout, training, etc. please feel free to email me. I learned a LOT about it when I was raising Chrome (and that's with having had horses my whole life) that I'm happy to share. The funny thing is I still have lots to learn. If I did it all over again I would still learn so much. I guess that's one reason I love working with horses. I'm always learning something new. :) I've done everything with Chrome so far. Only three other people have been on him for very short rides (5-10 minutes), so all of the training as been me. I think I've done a great job with him so far, but I feel like I've hit a wall as far as our progress goes. I don't want to put him in training, but I would definitely like to take lessons on him. I still want to do it all myself, but I know I need help at this point. I've only ever trained horses for trail riding. I've never trained one in dressage so it's all new territory for me. :)Achieve1dreamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15401246064499148344noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6998173309677660800.post-37727111340739302722015-05-04T15:52:21.316-07:002015-05-04T15:52:21.316-07:00I'm gutted about the loan going wrong to be ho...I'm gutted about the loan going wrong to be honest but I am starting to think that it was for the best he just obviously wasn't the right horse for me. I have however later discovered that he is now up for sale and Elaine won't be keeping him anymore so I'm not sure what is going on there to be honest with you. <br /><br />I have always loved the idea of raising my own youngster and think that if I do seriously decided that this is the way that I want to go then I need to do lots more research and that I would want to do everything myself however I would of course ask my trainer about the parts that I do not know about while I know it would be hard I feel that for me it would be the best option I am going to be doing a post on why I tbi k so so please feel free to leave any comments on it AmberRose- Girl With a Dreamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01985661554315096806noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6998173309677660800.post-5692095530428491522015-05-04T13:26:35.739-07:002015-05-04T13:26:35.739-07:00Also did you get to do the show in March?

Going gluten free solved my numerous stomach problems.

A horse falling from tripping over a pole just doesn't sound normal to me... I hope they can get him sound again.<br /><br />I loved raising Chrome from five months old! I wouldn't trade it for anything in the world, but to be honest I don't know if I ever want to start a horse under saddle again. The crazy thing is a used to start horses for other people so it's not like I'm new to it or anything. I've had horses my whole life. I've just lost a lot of confidence as I've gotten older. Will you be starting the foal yourself or put him/her in training with a professional? It takes a lot of confidence to do it yourself!! I constantly feel like I have no idea what I'm doing with Chrome and I've started several horses before him (western, not dressage, that's why it's so different and I'm doing it on my own this time without help from my sister... we used to take the green horse out with a trained horse... taking a green horse out alone is not for the faint of heart). It will definitely be challenging, but with your trainer's help it should be fine! As long as you are willing to seek help when you need it. I need help with Chrome but unfortunately I don't have a working trailer or the money to get it right now, so we just piddle around in the meantime. It can be frustrating.<br /><br />I'm so sorry you've been sick. :( I hope you're okay. Please update when you can!!Achieve1dreamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15401246064499148344noreply@blogger.com
