I would be one of those "small breeders". We purchased our stallion a year ago, he wasn't broke to ride and hadn't been handled much since he left his breeder. His sales photos were the large nostrils flared, etc...Our website has photos of him under saddle. We have showed some since breaking him, which I did myself (non-pro). At 4 months under saddle, we rode in the breed demonstrations daily at the Western States Horse Expo in Sacramento, CA. He was amazing, much better than I had expected. Our breed organizers were very pleased with him. We are showing English and Dressage, but I have had a western saddle and bridle on him and have also riden him bareback.
: Hi,
:
: I agree that more should be under saddle and
: used. Many of these SE's though are under
: saddle and trail ridden daily--Arabians LTD
: has pics of TD with a child on his back, M.
: Byatt has his stallions ridden daily on his
: farm, and there are many others but those
: are well known farms with very popular
: stallions.
:
: All my mares and stallions are trained under
: saddle before being used as broodmares or
: standing at stud. The boys are much calmer
: with having a project and the mares are
: enjoyed by kids and give lessons. The
: stallions really like to go for trail rides
: and it helps them mentally very much.
:
: Keep looking, there are some very nice boys
: out there just sitting in small breeders
: back yards that are trained. They are
: harder to find but worth the search.
