#horses - #Update: First riding lesson.
Update: First riding lesson.
A few days ago I made a post here asking for advice for a beginner like me.
Well, I just had my first lesson yesterday, and I have mixed feelings about it. The barn I was in was fairly small, and there were a few different horses in it. They seemed to be fighting with each other a little bit (again, I have no idea about horse language, so for all I know, they could have just been doing something else). It was to the point where my instructor had to shoo one of them out. The horse she had me grooming seemed...okayish, but somehow I could get a sense that she was agitated, even though I was just doing what my instructor was telling me. She kept looking over her shoulder at me, stomped her foot, and some of the other horses kind of charged at each other. I couldn't tell if my horse was irritated at the other horses in the barn, or at me, but either way I was terrified.
Part of me wants to go back so that I can learn more, and part of me wants to never go near a horse again. I really don't know how to feel right now, and I just want to know, is what I described normal behavior for horses? I'm sorry if I sound sooo ignorant and stupid right now, but like I said, I'm just a beginner. Maybe I'm making a big deal out of nothing (as usual). I don't know. My worst fear being around them is having them kick or trample me.
I want to be able to enjoy this and go into it with an open mind, but my first lesson had me quite nervous. I was afraid to say anything to my teacher, as I feel I'm too old to be getting scared like a baby. But I'm hoping next time (if there is a next time) we will take the horse I am working with outside that little cramped barn and away from the other horses. I have to admit, it scared me a lot being in such tight quarters with them.

#horses - #Anyone have experience with managing social media for their barn?
Anyone have experience with managing social media for their barn?
I got to thinking today that the little schooling show my boarding barn held today would have been infinitely easier if they had posted information about it online. Their Facebook page hasn't been updated since Oct last year and their website is still advertising a dressage show that happened last June. While I don't have any direct experience managing social accounts, I am online a lot and work in the marketing world so I feel like I understand the basics of it.
I wouldn't be managing any true marketing/sales/seo efforts, just more to keep things up to date for the boarders and school kids.
Things I was thinking about:
- Posting flyers and entry information in advance for any schooling shows or camps (currently they just post a flyer in the barn)
- Keeping website information up to date
- Bringing my nice camera to the barn and taking some pics to post occasionally on Facebook (of the grounds, grazing horses, pretty sunsets or something like that.)
I am not as familiar with Instagram or Twitter, but I'm not sure how important it is for this low level management. I could also create a private group for all boarders and lesson students to post things like lesson availability/cancellations, show progression notes (for instance, today my group had no idea when our class would run without walking half way across the complex), any facility notes, etc.
I'm also not sure of any implications I need to worry about (like getting permission from owners to post pictures of their horses, I know I'd need some sort of release for any people) or what I would ask in return. Discounted board or lessons would be great, but I don't know what monetary equivalent would be fair.
TLDR: Looking into a mini business plan to offer the owners of my boarding barn to update their social media and website in exchange for discounts. Any advice? I want to make sure I'm not volunteering for a horrible amount of work. :D

#horses - #Horse buying saga - walk away or reassess? Opinions? (x-post /r/equestrian)
Horse buying saga - walk away or reassess? Opinions? (x-post /r/equestrian)
I am currently in the market for a new project horse. I have been looking for a few months and not found anything suitable really, lots of nutjob owners who think their three year old is going to be the next Valegro and are asking silly money and a lot of horses that are sold as 'projects' but are closer to RSPCA cases. It has been somewhat disheartening.
I finally found one that sounded perfect. She is a rising 6 british sport horse who was backed last year in walk and trot, turned away over winter and is now ready to come in and continue her education. Precisely what I was looking for. I got some videos of her trotting and cantering from the seller, went up to see her on the basis of that and really liked her. She is pretty uneducated obviously, but has a lovely attitude and just isn't fazed by anything. With a year's work she could be a really nice little allrounder.
So, I booked the vet. She isn't broken so they could only do a two stage vetting (for those that don't know, this is a full physical exam including teeth/eyes/feet etc, then a trot up with and without flexion tests and lunging on a hard surface). She passed the physical exam with flying colours apart from some mild concerns about her feet - she has TB in her breeding and she has quite flat feet that have been allowed to splay and drop at the heel and the foot balance is all wrong. The owner has a lot of horses and this particular one has been kicked out for months with no farriery. She is barefoot, but not in the proper looked-after-and-trimmed way, in the I-don't-want-to-pay-for-hoof-care way. Not ideal.
In the trot up she was intermittently 1/10th lame on the left fore. The ground was hard, uneven and gravelly in place. She didn't even look lame, more like she occasionally stood on a stone and just went 'ouch!'. Flexion tests did not exacerbate the slight lameness. In fact, flexion tests on all four legs were fine which I am not sure I have encountered before. The lameness increased to 3/10ths when lunging on the left rein - but again, was intermittent and we were lunging on a rutted, rock-hard surface (we haven't had any rain in about six weeks, the ground is like concrete). At no point was any other leg affected.
I was gutted, obviously. The videos I have of her from a couple of weeks ago show no sign of this, though admittedly they were of her free not lunging. The owner swears she has never had an issue in the two years she has had her (but I don't think she sees her from one month to the next, so take that with a pinch of salt). The vet is 98% sure that she is just slightly footsore from being left out with no footcare then dragged in and trotted up on not ideal ground He said if it was his money he would be tempted to lowball an offer and go for it anyway (and I know vets don't say that lightly) - so I did, but the owner won't take it.
The compromise we have come to is that the owner will get a farrier out on Tuesday and put a pair of front shoes on, then give her a week or so to adjust and I will go back and have a look. If she looks sound to me then I can get the vet out again to double check.
Am I being ridiculous in reconsidering this mare? Is what the owner is offering to do fair? Should I just walk away? I have 25 years' experience, have bought and sold multiple times in the past for both myself and other people. My gut is saying that the issues are not a big deal, and given proper farriery and a pair of shoes she will probably be right as rain, but am I trying to justify my own emotions? In every other way she is perfect, but obviously the lovely attitude doesn't count for much if I can't ride her. What are people's thoughts? Be honest, please.
