RE: [RC] Bringing up baby E-horses . . . - Kitley, Carrie E Civ USAF AFSPC 30 MDSS/SGSLFJody - That's so great! On a scale of 1 - 10, how difficult did you think it was, on average, to do all your own training? I'm an avid reader, so I know I can get tons of info by reading, but that being said, there are so many different methods of training, it can get a bit nebulous. I prefer to keep it simple and effective.

Don't know how much wonderful advice I can offer up, but I prefer to raise/train my own. I have had great success (in my mind anyway) with several. I am working on my 4 yr. old right now, and she is coming along really well, especially since we are having triple digit heat index to ride her in. :)) Some that I have raised and trained: Petit Jets Shadow- 5000+ mile horse Petit Shammere- almost 2000 mile horse or maybe she reached it...don't remember Petit Jets Rose- 3000+ mile horse and soon to be Petit Jets Legacy aka Squirrel Ones that I have trained: Cash Bonus-about 1500 and counting !!! 100 Mile monster, going to the NC The Boogie Man- 300+ miles and going to the NC Raf Darget- 2000+ mile horse Fantastiq Love- 1950+ mile horse, hopes to come back after an injury in the spring. Just lots of LSD and then slow years bringing them along. Then after about 3 years, you have a good solid horse. Jody PS. I have two young Arab mules that are my next BIG challenge. --- On Mon, 7/21/08, Kitley, Carrie E Civ USAF AFSPC 30 MDSS/SGSLF <carrie.kitley@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> wrote: From: Kitley, Carrie E Civ USAF AFSPC 30 MDSS/SGSLF <carrie.kitley@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Subject: [RC] Bringing up baby E-horses . . . To: "RideCamp" <ridecamp@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Date: Monday, July 21, 2008, 12:32 PM Ok here goes . . I'm curious to hear from folks who have reared/trained their own endurance horses from foals, and on how difficult an undertaking this was. I realize it is all subjective according to the particular horse's attitude, personality, physical abilities, etc.. I have lots of horse experience, but I have never attempted to train a horse myself. I am not interested in training for cutting, roping, dressage, showing or anything like that so I'm interested in the type of training expertise needed for endurance. So, I would love to hear the varying experiences by those who have had success in this endeavor. Thanks for your input. :) Carrie Kitley <\_~ // \\ carrie.kitley@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx -----Original Message----- From: ridecamp-owner@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:ridecamp-owner@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Lynne Glazer Sent: Monday, July 21, 2008 10:25 AM To: Beverley H.

And people who post the most here have proportionately more chances to attract the off-hand response, or that un-nuanced by facial expression-seemingly contrary-or-insulting one. You said it so nicely. "It's all in y/our own sense of self-esteem and ego fortitude." In my rushed, ex-military vernacular I would have just said it's time to "grow a set". It's just amazing to me sometimes--there will be this knock-down, drag out battle where it's not just passion for the issue but has turned personal--and I know the participants FACE to FACE well enough to realize if this was over a campfire they'd be the best of friends. I always pause before hitting the send button, and think about whether I want the thousands of ridecamp subscribers to see my message, and not just the few participating in that particular topic. I absolutely DO limit my written participation here, though I read all the responses, skimming and deleting. So very many times I've hit the "save as draft" button because of feeling so strongly about what I'm replying to--and go back to it later, just deleting it because either it wasn't necessary or someone else made my points and usually in a much more graceful manner.
