Who's been watching the latest ES20?  Is it working for you?

Is that a 40' round pen you are working in? 

Working on the spin.

Good morning sir, I was looking to add speed to spin and would greatly appreciate any advice/ critiques

Hi, I have a couple Welsh Pony fillies whom I’ve had since they were born - 3yo & 2yo. The 3-yo knows me very well. I’ve halter broke her and got her desensitized to picking up feet and objects like saddle blankets and bareback pads.  I’ve tried starting her myself but the problem I am having is I can’t get her to move. I’ve tried flapping & flapping, progressively waiving the flag & whip harder and harder, even snapping her a bit on the backside over & over and only at that point will she just give me a little side eye and so then I let up on the pressure to reward her but then she just goes back to whatever she’s interested in. It’s only when I turn to walk away from her completely, then she gives me her full attention and comes up and tries to rest her head on my shoulder. I think she may be too familiar with me. Do you have any suggestions for how I can get her to move away from my pressure? 

We took the kids snowboarding this week.  I hated to leave work, but I'm glad I did.  Epic!

Hi there everyone , 

I’m fairly new to breeding and this is why I thought I might get an answer here since the knowledge here is obviously present.

I have a 20 month old quarter mare who stands 13.2 hands, and it seems a bit small to me, both parents stand around 14.2 hands. Is this an abnormality? To grow around 3 to 4 inches seems a lot.

Maybe this is not the place to ask and if so I do apologize. Anyway, I’m using a lot of the e information on the platform to desensitize and train her little by little. Great content!

thanks for your thoughts. 

Who else is indoors because of the weather?

Who's working on a New Year's resolution?  How's it working?
