Oh bugger
You can still do local level western showing as most shows have an "Other Breeds" section for halter (led) classes
You can also join in on the ridden stuff, you just wont accumulate points etc, like you would with a registered horse
The Pinto Assoc., well at least here in NSW, often hold shows, and the State show up here has a tonne of classes, english, western, and everything in between
Not to mention Ag shows, lots of pinto classes there as well...
Thoroughbreds are my favourite colour

Can anyone recommend a trainer for my 2yo qh gelding he has been broken and had some training - looking for a trainer preferably on the eastern side of Melbourne but would consider other trainers in Victoria - wanting him to do HUS, trail and maybe some halter thanks

What is his temperament like, is he sensitive? And what area do you want the trainer to be in ideally?

Have you looked in to David Norbury? He isn't far from there and is very versatile.

Troppo. Loco. Round the twist. |

Thanks Hollywood, will look into it. Chances are if he is very selective then an unbroken 5yo stallion won't be something he'd be interested in working with anyway.
Roy, let's just say have heard some interesting things about him. My man is quite a sensitive boy, and I need someone who is firm, but fair. He's smart and sensitive, but will push the boundaries if he thinks he can.
If I need to I'll go further, it would just be ideal to be local. I don't yet have a float, so if I need to I'll send him away, just don't want it to be long term.
Gary Brown has been one recommended as a not local trainer by a friend.

She is a totally of 1/8th appy. Lol. She is Jessie James on dadys side and Jessie James /Darwin Doc on mums side.
I will be reining her. Hopefully. If that fails drafting and team penning (or theses also), she is super cowy!

I'll have super fun with her for sure. Can't wait to play with the mechanical cow! Hopefully Ill see you guys out and about in time.
And the 1/8th gave her no spots! Just bought in better pasterns and feet! She is extremely QH, that's why I picked her!

LMAO .... 1/8th! I was going to say she looked largely QH bred. Well have fun with her wont you! The filly that I owned that looked like her was super cowy to ... she was a like a border collie .... the other horses used to beat the bejeebers out of her because she just couldnt "switch it off" and would annoy the crappers out of them!
|
She looks lovely and athletic.
She looks a little similar in type to my new stallion, although he's all QH.
How do you know how cowy they are? My rising 3yo will occasionally start chasing and pushing the WB filly different ways just for fun. He's a much bigger, more solid build though.

Step away from the computer, |

You can tell if a horse is cowy or has cow sense by watching it in the paddock with the real naturals. They will amuse themselves (generally not the others who are paddocked with them) by working the other sock in the paddock, the good naturals will look like a border collie working sheep. Some of them are naturals when you face them up to a cow or sheep, they naturally want to work or chase .... its inbuilt in them through years of breeding.
The naturals are the ones who have the most potential, its not something you can really train, they have to want to do it to start with, then you can build on that sense.
Everyone wants happiness no one wants pain, Yet you cant have a Rainbow without the Rain!

My girl has several crosses of Jessie James and Darwin Doc. So she was bound to want to chase what moves. Ha ha

Mine had spinifex and frekles oak (doc bar) lines, so she also didnt have much choice! lol .... although even with the bloodlines sometimes they just have no interest
|
I have met a few of those!
Do you still have that mare/filly?
