The Horse N' Rider here. Follow me on twitter!! @TheHorseNRider . Im a BIG ANON. Here to answer YOUR questions. Im a country girl. I have an old outlaw typed soul! I LOVE TO PARTY! I know ALOT about horses too!:) Including: various disciplines, training, anatomy, psychologically, and health.

  • Should I change barns ?

    Okay, so I currently have my American Saddlebred boarded at an Equestrian Center thay has only Arabians. Hes the only Saddlebred! I'm thinkin' I should switch, because she got my old Saddlebred/Saddleseat instructor and trainer to help her with him. She doesnt really know much about the breed and how to train. I want to ride so bad, but she always wonts to be there, & i never do anything myself even when I ask numerous amounts of times. She gives me a lesson a week (if that, cause shes always bisy or not answerong me when i do wont to come(. When i wont to do somethin',shes got other pkans and does it on her time and her watch. All this is getting old, & im sick of it. Shes a nice girl and all, & seens to know a great deal of information .. but not the kind i need. What to do?

    ****** AND P.S FOLLOW ME ON TWITTER! :) @Saddleseat88

    Please. & thanks guys ! Always love your help.

  • My horse had an accident in his stall .. MAJOR HELP!?

    I bought a Saddlebred on October 6, 2012. I've had him 3 months. Hes also 5 years old.. hes a bit of a whinny boy. Kicked the stall when we first brought him in, and will whine when you leave. Hes very loving, and sweet .. i havent found a mean bone in his body.

    Yesterday, he had an accident in his stall. The girl I pay board to, who works/rides and trains him called me yesterday, and said he was "spewing" blood every where, He cut is mouth, and it went through an artery . I'll show you picture of his stall, it pretty HECTIC & GRAPHIC so need I say dont click on his stall pictures if you cant handle it. And the last picture is his stitches and mouth,

    So hes a show horse. He wears a double bridle (2 bits). And I was wondering if he'll recover and be able to be a horse again, seeing his mouth is badly injured. Saddleseat requires close contact, and bit pressure. What do you guys think? Will he recover and be able to show again?

    STALL PICTURES **BEWARE**

  • My new horse Chase! Critique him &' my riding.?

    I just got him a month ago. Hes a 5 year old American Saddlebred. I just got back into riding english. I went from Saddleseat 6 years ago, to rodeo and western til up to this year I've found my true love is for the " peacocks of all show horses! " The Saddlebred horse(:

    Anyhow, I think he has potential to be a 5gaited horse! Due to being so tall, and fast. But right now, were just staying in 3 gaited pleasure classes. If any of you guys knows who Supreme Sultan is, then good! Cause my horse has his bloodlines in his pedigree TWICE. From both, his Dam &' Sires side! So his a magnificent horse. Very bold and beautiful. Any how here is my video I made of us, and then the next link will be my channel to view all videos of him. Please critique us, and critique him as well. (:

  • Trouble deciding what breed?

    So, currently I have an Appendix (Thoroughbred x Quarter Horse) and shes alright. She 23 now, and not to much spunk.. not not the best trail/riding horse. But shes my baby, ya know how that is !

    I am horse huntin.. and looking for a new horse. I've always been for walk, trot, and canter all the way! NEVER wonted a gaited horse. But i see so many TWH's,, and Rocky Mountain horses and their so beautiful and moves so swiffly ! I've been watching videos of them.. of course i also ride Saddlebreds. So I have experience with them. But I have been thinkin checking a few of them out . What do you guys think? I really wonted a saddlebred to practice on when Im not at my barn, since I plan on showing again. But I also wont a trail horse, Im so confused. What should I do? Something just makes me want to go and try and possibly get a gaited horse~ Ahh.. what would yall do?

    1) well, i know alot about the horse itself, and training and such. but nutrition. im a little stumped on. lol, like i have a 21 year old mare i took er wight today shes 1225lbs. shes about 15.3hh, shes been limping so thats why we havent got much excersise in. shes a little on the heavy side, but her limp is gone now!! so ill be working her. we just give her plain ole' sweet feed. she seems to like it. i been thinking bout senior feed. wat do u guys think about s for senoirs.

    and i have a 5year old mare. i dont give her grain at all since shes pastured, and shes boarded(my old mare is at home wit me) my 5 year olds poop isnt "balls" its kinda a ball but it splats out when it hits tha ground. its not runny or nething, it doesnt looks like meshed up grass so i dont think shes sick. im just curious wat kinda grain should i get her, since shes young and all and im training her.

    does anyone kno a website, were they have a chart for feeds and hay nd such??

    2)im confused on when a horse drops its shoulder. why does a horse drop its shoulder? and how to you ask a horse to drop its shoulder, and when you do ask it to? whats it do? like more support or sumthing? tell me everything?

    3) jumping question! how do u set your horse before a jump? what does the horse do when u set him?(lengthin stride or wat?)

    4) i know you ride the gallop in 2point position, any other tips? i been thinking bout gallopin my older mare. its my first time on her gallopin

    5) How do i cue for the gallop. isnt it like when im canterin i extend my arms, and get in a 2point position and cluck and such?

    6) and last!! how do u clean a geldin sheath? i kno u gotta get tha "bean" out but any other things?
