What horse to get, hmmm.

[manybirds]

I wouldn't recomend a arabian. I never liked them before i had one and i have one and i still don't like them. they are high strung and will get away with anything u let them. Most people like them because they are so pretty and just look completly over personality. There may be certain indaviduals out there that are good, but i got the one told he was very good for an arabian and he's very good for an arabian but i still don't like him (no offense to u arabian breeders all the more power to u for putting up with them)

:/
Don't even get me started.

you've peaked my curiousity

You just gotta be smarter than they are

I've been riding Arabians since I was 10 years old and in the 20+ years I've been involved with them, I've fallen in love. We discussed this on another thread, they are not high strung but they are sensitive and intelligent and not everyone wants a horse like that I will admit. Like not everyone wants a super intelligent dog like a border collie.

Like i said all the more power too you. I prefer the small but sturdy smart and mild but quick. LOL is that to much to ask? My arabian's a learning experiance though. I said if we went on a dating website the two of us wouldn't be compatable.

I don't have time to write it all out again today, but here is a similar thread with the same responses I would write out here if I had the time.

I'm taken

Small? My mare is 14.2hh

Sturdy? 8" canons, 700+ miles of endurance riding logged

Mild? My daughter learned to ride on her. As soon as she could keep her seat and steer, I've pitched her up bareback (with a helmet of course) and let her hack around the arena

Quick? Of course! She's a half-Arab!

I guess it's all personal preferance. And what you'r looking for if it's enduranc an arabian if it's speed quarter horse or dare i say thourghbred if it's cuteness a pony etc etc. I have an arabian so i can't complain to much. if nothing else he's probably the smoothest ride ever (when we don't have to go through the whole i say u say thing) when i got him he pranced but i wasn't impressed one bit and we fixed that problem.

Well I ended up purchasing a former Wild Mustang mare. She's has a Grullo color and around 15.5 hands tall. She's around ten years old and has been off the range for five years. She is a smooth ride and very friendly. I'm looking forward to riding her more.

 

[mydakota]

I have many friends who ride 'stangs. What HMA is she from?

 

[77Herford]

I believe she was from Montana originally. The family I purchased her from used to live in Colorado and have adopted several Mustangs over the years.

 

[mydakota]

If you can get a good, clear picture of her brand, I have a friend who might be able to identify her original HMA for you.

 

[77Herford]

I believe she is from the formerly managed Garden Creek herd management.
