Omg I soo love your horse :) I just rescued an american paint mare she's blind in one eye and going blind in her other eye I was told she did everything like standing for farrier, lunging, riding etc.She had 2 b put on a calming supplement for about a week 2 calm her down also u couldn't do anything with her u would have thought she was a mustang lol.. Now I can do anything with her from picking up her hoofs 2 clean,puting blankets,tack etc on her,riding etc. u'd never know she is blind!
@ArablvrXoXo Well I didn't jump her until she was 5, and we didn't do anything big or frequently. She's 7 now, had about a year off, and I've been doing flat work with her since.

She is adorable! I wish I had the time and money to have a horse. I would do just this, get a project horse of some kind. I hope everything goes well! Keep me posted?
@finkmare thanks! We are getting our own farm and if I have time in my future, I'd like to buy and retrain OTTBs. Everything's going great with her! Still a greenie, but she sure is a sweet girlie. In this video she was 4, she is 6 now. Had a lot of time off but it's all for the best. We jumped 1' recently without any nervous wiggling :o haha. Mostly now she is learning to get in frame, working on transitions and ground poles!
wait, her last race was late november 2008, and you started riding her right away? race horses need at LEAST 5 or 6 months off before transitioning to riding horses, i just got a 4 year old ottb and he had 7 or 8 months off but most people give like a year! they have to re-learn everything, everything about racing and riding is opposite
I rode her a little bit. That spring/summer she had lots of lameness/shoe pulling issues (brittle walls, badly shaped feet). She had AT LEAST a year off, and I only now started to seriously work her again. I've had her for 17 months and she is still "green broke"
I love Sugar! She's so funny. I love how when I walk into the barn she pops her head out to see who it is. I say hi to her and then she just starts cribbing. :]
im mabey BIG MABY getting a 4 yr old tb mare for xmas this yr .she is 14.5 hh and a bay she was never raced.u have a cute horse shame u had to waste time fattening her up u could have got soo much done=]
I think she's So pretty. I don't think I could deal with a tb mare!!! hahaha You are DEFINITELY going to have your hands full. So good luck with everything :P
yay, thanks! :]] well, once I went to get her, she'd lost a LOT of muscle and weight, and just now 7 months later she's finally starting to get chubby. I haven't had as much time to work with her yet as I've had liked... but what she really needed was to gain weight and have time off to play :] which is what she's getting!
well all u need to do is feed her a little bit more than u really feed and in no time she will back to normal and i remeber when the horse that my mom is getting me she was really skinny cuz her owner didnt feed her so my mom payed someone to fatten her up and my mom is getting her tommrow:Thursday 8,2009 my very first horse and we r nameing her Blossom Starfire Dillard(her first second and last name) and i hope u and your horse complete happynies
She's been on MASSIVE amounts of feed for 7 months, until just now, I moved my girls to a new farm, with GREAT pasture. FINALLY I can decrease her grain, take her off corn oil, and she's holding her weight! :]
oh i doubt their related lol. um shes 5. and she lives on kamloops B.C um. her name is sienna. but her raceing name is "once in a blue moon" but we call her blue lol
That's a big challenge. Every OTTB I've met has hurt me and then tried to kill me :) I lived though, and I still love them to death. Best of luck! She's absolutely stunning. Just one thing, idk if this has been mentioned before or not, but at 0:11 you let her rub her face against you, that's not good. It's a sign of disrespect, it means that you are lower in the pecking order than her. No horse would do that to the lead horse. My advice, don't let her. Once again, stunning :) <3
yup :] luckily she's just a big puppy dog! she's had her crazy moments, but nothing worse than when training up my other mare
Yup I know what you mean. The only reason I allow that (and only from my older mare, Tilly), is because we've literally been through so much together...that she's more like a sister to me than a pet. But she knows she's ONLY allowed to do it after a workout, after I've taken her bridle off, when I offer for her to rub. /Any/ other time, and she gets disciplined LOL
yup! she's been a nut haha. But this summer, we've lost months of time, as she's having trouble holding shoes (bad Alabama climate and all), and just had her first big injury. But she should be back in a few weeks :)
Yeah I've been thinking about that selling thing..and I've come to realize that the amount I sell her for will probably not cover the amount it'll cost to keep her. SO I'm thinking more about leasing her out when she's all trained, and we could get a bit back little by little, and she'd stay in shape and get "mileage" and all. And in the meanwhile, my other mare will be getting older, and eventually I'll have to give her a lighter load; Sugar might be the perfect replacement
she has an amazing trot haha it was really the selling point when I was looking at her
Actually she's not hot at all! I'm still working on reversing her training, but the only thing she's spooked at so far are the neighbors goats, but that's understandable haha
yeah in the pics she looks like she extends really well! lol thats sooo cool! is it hard to pick up the right lead? thats what i have heard cuz they always race to the left. haha yeah my horse used to spook at the goats too xD
o thats really cool! o wow i guess iv never really watched one closely while they race. yeah i was looking at some (im in the process of selling my horse) but my mom said that some of them were like lame and insane, but you get a couple where they are amazing. so you never know. but ill prob not get one. lol there are some realllly cute ones on like the canter website tho :)
yeah I know what you mean, my first girl has some psychological damage from the drugs they had her on and is a little over-agressive, and she went lame for 6 months 2 years ago. But hopefully my new girl came from a better situation :]
she's galloping :] she just moves sooo big that her other feet are all 2 ft in the air haha. She's soo pretty! I hope you get to see her sometime soon!
cribbing isnt the end of the world i dont no about in tb but my friends very very fit show jumper used to crib he was a 14.2hh welsh cob i think i never new her or the horse at that time because i probs wasnt even born but he used to jump 5ft and went to hixsted how ever you spell that and he was a cribber realy bad, you can get a coller that stops then sucking the air in

Alfonatahh 3 years ago
well when we're longeing to the right, she'll start doing flying changes back and forth haha
but when I've ridden her, she's always picked up the right lead when I've asked for it
When they race, they actually do flying changes on the straight-aways between left and right leads, so they don't get tired in a certain direction
