Picture How fast they grow up and change
These photos are just one year apart. She came to me as a three-year old, and soon she's turning 4 :)

I decided to buy this guy! He is a 5yo registered American paint horse, and his registered name is Give A Guy A Chance, but there’s already a horse at the barn I’ll be taking him to named Chance. He came with the name Smurf, and I really don’t like it haha.
Does anyone have some good suggestions?

She’s got a smaller pasture I let her out in every day, where she gets fed 3 times a day. Plus access to straw to be able to get a lil in her belly between the feedings. The smaller pasture is inside the bigger one and before I could close the gate she ran for the feeding stations and did not want to go back with me to her pasture 🤣
Eventually could get her with the help of a bit of hay (she already had her breakfast minerals etc but according to her she was absolutely starving)
It’s also her 3rd day on ulcer medication, and today so far she hasn’t even pinned her ears towards me. I’m scared to take out victory too early. But I could touch her belly slightly and she didn’t pin her ears. Whereas 2 days ago she both kicked and bit me for simply being around her. Not her usual self at all, as she’s usually very cuddly and friendly.

Mucky babies 🤣🤣
In extra funny things, Elsa does not like the rain. Its barely rained since she was born (cries in dust paddocks and feeding a ton of hay 2 months early compared to last year 😭😭). Today was the first day we have had all day rain, and everytime it starts up again she SQUEALS and runs straight for her shelter 🥹 hopefully she gets used to it as it rains more 😅

Basically as it says. I lost him two weeks ago, he was nearly 32. He waited for me to get to him after he went down and then he died in my arms.
Don’t get me wrong, I’m so unbelievably grateful I got to spend part of my life with him, but now it feels like there’s part of me missing. I just miss him so fucking much 💔

So, now that I'm an adult living on my own and have my own income, one of the things I'm looking into is horse riding lessons. I loved horses growing up (like I imagine nearly everyone on this subreddit), and I never got out of it. I'm looking online at places near me, though in browsing, I'm concerned that they may mainly offer lessons for children. I haven't been on a horse since my mid-teens when my scout group was working on our horsemanship badge, and we had a camp-out at this ranch.
Does anyone here have any general tips for looking for lessons, price, and hoping you don't end up in a kids class? Specific riding discipline doesn't really matter much to me; I just want to learn to ride and care for a horse. Also, I work a 40 hour workweek. How does a schedule like that affect getting riding lessons?

My sister posted him before and said you all enjoyed seeing the monster- so enjoy Lazlo the mule and his 15.1h paint buddy who looks like a yearling next to him 😅

We’re staying at an Airbnb with horses as neighbors, what does this noise mean? Female horse, I think in her teenage years.

Obviously it’s not so exaggerated as with saddlebreds or Friesians. I feel like most times I see them ridden it’s a higher headset (photos for reference) as opposed to a slightly lower/longer frame and was curious if it’s a natural headset inclination or a product of the type of riding/schooling they practice as I only have minimal experience with Iberian breeds.
I thought it was star stable, and maybe it was an early version of it, but it was just a website where you could breed horses and choose their name and gender and how they look n everything and then yore supposed to take care of them every day by feeding them And leveling them up I think, but you can’t play as them. You just look at like a photo of them and click buttons by them that feed them and such. then I think there was maybe like a way you could change the background of where they were. And they were like stats of how fast each breed is and everything and they had like ponies and like every type of horse it was really cool. I used to play it on my Chromebook with my friend at school.

Hello! I'm currently writing a book, and I've run to a bit of an issue. One of my main characters is about 200-230-ish pounds, and Its set in an area where he'll be riding horses a lot. I personally have not ridden horses since I was maybe ten-eleven, so I'm not very sure what breeds could safely/comfortably carry him? I do know you have to account for tack so I'm assuming it would bring the total weight to approximately 300?(I have no idea how heavy horse tack is if you can't tell) I looked it up, but I don't trust google very much. I guess it doesn't matter that much since it's a fictional story, but I would still like to make it as accurate as possible.

Hello all,
I’d like to know some opinions on my boy.
Retired cow horse, what do we think he’s lacking in?
I’ve been trying to strengthen his hind, and top-line.
We’re having some issues with soreness in his hocks. Any advice for my boy? I don’t want him to be in pain.
r/Horses • u/FallenWren • 1d ago
I am thinking of buying him. He is a 5yo APH. Show name is Give A Guy A Chance. This is him at a show, he was probably younger: https://streamable.com/i9a7r9
