It can be training, showing, getting over a fear, whatever. I'm just interested.
I bought a new bridle for my horse and it doesn't fit him. It costs too much to send it back so I'm trying to sell it on my own. It's brand new with tags. Soft and supple nice Havana leather. Asking $70. I can post pics if anyone is interested! I don't post things really so I'm not sure how to add a pic to this post.
I am looking to get a treeless saddle, endurance or English, and I ride three very different sizes horses. I need everything including a saddle pad to be under $500 and I do mostly trail riding. I just miss riding English and feel the horses so much better in an English saddle. Thoughts on possible options? Any help appreciated.
I (/family) will be getting two horses at the end of this month. One is a 3-5 yr old rescue mare (NSH) who does not have previous riding experience that we know of. She is very sweet and seems to be quite submissive/eager to please. The other is a 19 yr old gelding (QH) who has plenty of experience under his belt (girth? lol).
The whole family would really love to have them both as 1000+ lb pets and be satisfied with that, but I am hoping to be able to start the mare under saddle. I have a decent amount of riding experience in multiple situations with lots of horses but never a green one and have never attempted training.
I have been watching a lot of Clinton Anderson, Missy Wryn, and various other YouTube training videos. Does anyone have suggestions? I can't help but think perhaps I am insane for deciding to try to work with this horse with as little experience as I have, but then I think there's a first time for everything, right?!
Side note; I would prefer to do bitless bridles so if anyone has suggestions for that please let me know. :)
Thank you so much in advance!
