sorry guys i was in a car accedent and i had a severe concussion with internal bruising and bleeding 
Is this a soundness issue that you can’t ride, or a punishment for you, or due to your health problems, or ____? It would make a difference in the suggestions I would make.
Going for walks is a great way to spend time with your horse. You can enjoy going out on the trails, or the suburban streets if that’s where you and Jack live. I always do that with my green horses to get our relationship off to a good start. We can learn basic cues for walk, trot, and whoa while checking out the scenery and even the local monsters. I’ve had a couple of horses that just had a terrible time dealing with a baby carriage, but when I’m right there on the ground next to them, they learn it’s OK, the funny-smelling black hole on wheels is harmless – and sometimes it has a pets dispenser in it (not Pez the candy, but loving pets on the nose.) When my mare boogered at a baby carriage then learned that a little child was inside, she instantly got over it – she LOVES little kids!
Besides seeing the great outdoors beyond the pasture fence, you can play together with ground obstacles. Practice asking your horse to step over and around whatever strange things you can find or make – ground poles, tarps, plywood sheets, jingle bells, a cage of guinea pigs or guinea fowl, barrels, foam swim noodles, foam pipe insulation, plastic bags – the list is limited only by your imagination. Ask for every response you will want from him when you’re able to ride again – sidepass, left and right turn on the forehand and hindquarter, backing up, jumping over a little log or cross poles. Walk him halfway across a ground pole. While his front feet are on one side and his hinds on the other, ask him to sidepass across it.
Another silly thing I like to do to help grow a horse’s confidence is to slap those big metal signs alongside the roads. Of course, start out easy, and ready for a reaction. Just give the sign a little ‘twang’ and be ready to reassure the horse. Let him step or even jump away, but keep your cool so he comes to understand it really isn’t a big deal. Before long, he will just say to himself, "Oh boy, there she goes again, that silly human! Another boring attempt to make me spook." When they reach that poinbt, you know you’ve really built up their confidence because nothing bothers them.
Use your creativity and have fun with this horse. This might be the best year of not riding you’ll ever have, and maybe even the best year for your horsemanship, because it will force you to really think about things to do. Just jumping on and moseying down the trail isn’t an option, so you can come up with other things to do that might just help you learn new things along with your horse.

I have ordered a ball from Parelli Horsemanship and want to get our local equestrian drill team started on horse soccer. They are in need of a "fun" break from the usual practices. We tried it out and most of the kids and horses seemed to enjoy it. However, since I bought the ball from another place I did not get the official rules from the horsesoccer.com website. I have searched but cannot find the "official" rules posted online anywhere. Please let me know how your group does a game. How many players at one time? Thanks!
We just use mainly actual soccer rules,if any. There is no out of bounds (arena is walled in) and any type of kick/nose goes. No aggressive horses allowed that attack other horses or have huge space bubble issues, but otherwise, we do allow you to push another horse out of the way for the ball, and just try to go for the goals.
Teams are however many we have at the time- 3-5 per team. Any bigger I think would get too crowded.

Does anyone know of a free, online virtual horse game?? Preferably more real than fake (ie, no strangely animated horses/ponies). Thanks!
Virtual Horse Ranch. It’s a little confusing at first, but there’s alot of things you can do, there’s a chat room, and a forum(I am apart of it, my name is Random if you ever join). I never played the game, but I know there are several people that are very helpful and on the forum there are guides to help). My ranch # is 274194. And the game is VERY real. Also, if you’re good at art, VHR is very art centered. On every horse on the game you can add a pic, one you got off the internet or one you or someone made.
And if you don’t like the complexity of VHR maybe try Howrse.com, I used to play, but it’s more for little kids I think.

I find real raw beginners horses at riding school around here are shockingly stubburn.
i like to get a large pony, 14.2hh, eventually, a weight carrier, i’m under 5feet, even though i’m 23yrs old.
Walk, trot, canter, smallish jumps and really love trail riding, i started riding in year 7 which was 1999, at my school, one of the 1st was a black mare 15hh, skittish, nervous, stubburn but i learnt to ride her really well, i got only walk and trot at the time lol my 1st jump i took on her, she spoked as we headed toward the jump, and full on went straight into gallop! I went fromt walk, trot, gallop, and for the 1st time ever she sailed right over, she had a horrible habibt of stopping and when you though she wouldn’t go that when she decide i’m going to go over, it the 1st time i every jumped her but i see other and see was shocker,
2nd one a 14hh light baby pony, had a habbit of bucking, however wouldn’t buck if you jumped her or she knew she was jumping. So bucking problem was bordem related
3rd was a little cremello paluse pony, about 12hh, pretty quiet, not a good jumper, quite fast, also used to ride him bareback, absolutely shocking gates to ride bareback
4th was Maise a roan welsh b pony. that had reinscold issues, so i used to ride her bareback, she bucked trotting downhill twice, i stayed on.
Then i started having lesson at a stable, i learn more on appaloosa mare called gypsy, she had this aweful habit of kicking her front legs out, when you picked her hoves out and she was way too stubburn.
the 2nd horse i road was a 13hh gelding, cagney i learnt to official canter on him
3rd was aaron, a fleabiting grey riding pony, bit high strung, so i didn’t bond with him so well.
4th was Marcus who we clearly shared a connection with, he was probably the most behavied out of all the pony i rode, he was great allrounder, i got 1st in jumping, 2nd in games my fault-pony tried to tell me which way to go, and 6th in dressage as i missed the class. He did have his naughty periods. i can walk, trot, and canter all bareback
I changed riding school later on big Mistake, and got some absolute shockers, 1 horse at this riding place not only tried to rear, lunch and buck, i really didn’t feel safe on him, so i got off him, and sort of lost interest for a couple of years, i didn’t ride offical for 3years, i did a trail ride after this period and had a lovely paint and he kept cantering off on me, and he gave me confidence, and did the occassional trail rides after that, however i have ridden up until recently due to money issues, so i started back earlier this year at my 2nd stable and got a steady standardbred gelding, however for me he was just too beginnerish and too lazy and piggy, i think i was alittle nervous on him because he look like the other horse that tried to through me off too, he started shaking his head like ht other one did too and kicking out. i felt his pacing movement awkward and clumsy although he was steady and trustworthy.
I haven’t done anything really competitive such as proper shows just fun days such as gymkanas, and games and trial riding which i really love to do.
Did some dressage work at the piggy stables, so leg yealding, and figures of 8s so very basic
I got a certifcate at the stables for passing grade 6 pony club
However while i was at the school, they got me to test the new school ponies/horses out prior to accepting them
My school said i’m grade 5 which was a few years ago which is just up a level up from complete beginner, but i think i’m more advance then that
So what level do you think i am? Beginner, Advanced Beginner, low intermedium, medium intermediate,advanced intermediate?
What horse/pony types do you think may suit me, remember long term future, i can also saddle and bridle any horse without difficult regardless of how tall they are
Money issues is simple, i been unemployed for so long and only have just gotten work, but its casual. I saved up enough to buy a horse but nothing for it longterm vet care or stabling fees. So that why i paying to ride Lazy bones horses, as i simple can’t afford the longterm cost of horse ownership
i’m not normal nervous either, it was only because the steady standardbred was showing signs what another tb was doing at another stable that tried to throw me. I very confident normally and alittle cautious, but with animals you have to be cautious
Okay. You know the basics, walk, trot, lope, turn, stop, back up, stand, and you can saddle and bridle properly, right?
If so why are you paying someone to put you on dude junk? You like to trail ride, right? Find a nice middle aged horse or mule with some good training and some sense. If you get something sound and sane with some good basics, you can go on from there. If you have a problem, ask someone, but you’ll learn more out there riding than you will paying somebody for an hour on a dude string reject.
Or find somebody like me that is training a colt and needs somebody to ride with. I’ve got a very nice gelding or a sweetheart of a mare you can ride if you’ll just go with me while I put some miles on this goofy mule filly. My husband doesn’t want me riding her with nobody around. I’ll even provide tack and wonderful places to ride.
And while you probably don’t live close to me, there are lots of people like me out there that either need or would like someone to ride with. And I won’t put you on a dude horse.
