Training(gaits), around the pen, riding on trails and just walking.
Thanks!
an attitude! I know that sounds pathetic, but that's just not him. He kicked the air with his front leg, almost hitting my leg, then he nipped me, then he stomped his foot & put his ears back when I tried to pet him. He doesn't have a mean bone in his body, I don't know what to do now. He's never been like this, ever. His moodiest side, besides this one, has been I'm not standing still for you to saddle me, catch me, or get on me.. He has a lazy side, he has a hyper side, he has never had an aggressive side..

Does that lead to aggression?! I have no idea what to do...
He's NOT in pain! I don't know what his problem is. This morning he was great, brushed him down, rid him, brushed him down again, let him run around, tied him up & brushed him again, he didn't act any different, soon as he wasn't tied up he started being a jerk..
Okay, so I know this isn't exactly the right place for this but I trust the horse section more than any other section lol! And it does have something to do with horses!!
So there's this girl and I've known her since forever (we live in the same neighborhood) and over the last couple years, she's been being a real brat!! I seriously can't stand her anymore! She started getting obsessed with horses when I got my first horse (and I was riding 6 years before that) just because I took horseback riding to the next level-so to speak lol. So she did everything she could to be better than me by taking lessons at a really nice, well known training center with top national horses and right away she started leasing a big, nice show horse (she'd only been taking lessons for about 3 months). And the whole while she bragged. I'm not saying that she was just excited to tell me everything, she was trying to make me jealous! So, I started giving her the cold shoulder when things got worse. Then, she told my best friend that she thinks I'm jealous of her riding (which I've been riding for about 8 years-well 10 but I started lessons when I was 6-and she's been riding for barely over 2 years now. And she's getting worse and she's starting to talk about all of us behind our backs to people that we've never met.
Okay, so I pretty much just wanted to vent lol.
So, to actually have a question here that's not about someone else's social problems (annoying).
Tell me about your horse! Anything and/or everything-breed, name, what you do with him/her, age, what your fave thing about him/her, ANYTHING!! Have fun with it!
My friend is moving from her current barn to a new barn this weekend. She wants tips on how to get her horse more comfortable there, prevent stress and/or colic,etc. And any tips on packing your things, a packing list, trailering tips, etc. Thanks!
The drive is only about 5 min
Does anyone now where any hunter paces are near huntington, WV? I found some four hours away but that is to far. It would need to be 3 hours away or closer.
Thanks
