GRAZING RIGHTS

I have had an SBR saddlebred mare for over a year and we have surely bonded. I knew very little about horses before we got her. She is 12 yrs old and came straight from an Amish farm where the children rode her. She is in good shape and is becoming a nice lesson horse. I sometimes ride bareback with a halter and reins. Yesterday I just sat on her while my husband held the leadline she grazed. My question is, will that lead her to stopping to graze when she wants to while she is being ridden out of doors? I don't know that it matters but I am 66 years old.
Tip of The Day - Hone your fibbing skills: "See, moving hay bales is FUN!" and, "No, really, I'm glad YOUR LUCKY PERFORMANCE and multi-million dollar horse won the class. I am just thankful that MY HARD WORK and actual ability won me second place."
Thank you for your letter.
I must start by saying how much I feel we in the horse business owe those of you who are involved in Saddlebred Rescue. I think this is a wonderful, unselfish and very noble organization serving a very real need. I salute you.

Now we will talk about this horrible behavior that might manifest itself. I probably would not recommend your husband leading the mare on a "picnic" while you ride as an every day diversion. Yes, it could very well promote a lack of respect about grazing when you are riding. However, even iwith your advanced years (66 is the new 45) it is something you can easily correct with a bridle. Additionally, the qualitative time you and your husband are spending together far outweighs any bad effects from your behavior. So my recommendation is enjoy your husband and your mare. You really do not need my help.

Good luck and Good Grazing!

LOL, thanks Rocky Road. The waist/hip/thigh fit fine, was actually kinda baggy; but the calf was so tight that I couldn't pull the pants UP all the way!! When I was riding, it kinda felt like my legs were tied together mid-thigh!! [:-bigeyes]


ROFLOL!!!!

There is really something wrong with this picture..lush grass in the background but everyone is bellied up to the tub eating the
hay (?) He doesn't look like the low man since he is right there at the tub... but I agree the goats are probably eating his grain....
Could this horse still have worms...maybe he is not being wormed properly. (the hay looks poor, too, but that is probably due to the drought we had last year.)]]> jburns http://forum.saveasaddlebred.org/topic.asp?whichpage=-1&TOPIC_ID=1837&REPLY_ID=31361 Linda's Care Corner Mon, 12 May 2008 22:07:27 +0200 http://forum.saveasaddlebred.org/topic.asp?TOPIC_ID=1837 Quote:
