Ask a mare.
I should hope so! And do it really nice, and say "please" and "thank you".
A mare usually lets you know just what she thinks about everything. She knows what she wants and what she doesn't want, and she will always let you know her opinion. If she doesn't think you are listening she will sometimes just ignore you, if you push and make her angry know that she does not make empty threats - something will happen - and it will probably not be good. If she says "no" - try another way - little things can make all the difference.
Details are important to a mare, so if you are going to be asking her for something, you need to pay close attention. When she sees that you are listening and giving her the respect she deserves, she will be willing to listen and pay attention to you. And when you get that from her - she gives it 100%. A mare will form really strong bonds with those she trusts and respects. It is truly a relationship to treasure.
Cherish a Mare.

Some Stallion Wisdom - Part 2 - Tell a Gelding
Tell a Gelding.
This must be based on an assumption that the lack of hormones in a gelding means he has no feelings or opinion and does not care how he is treated.
Assume - ass / u / me....know a gelding that proved that clever word true?
Your gelding may be able to focus better and listen longer, but no horse likes to be treated with a lack of respect. He's letting you ride him - be grateful and show him some courtesy. He will respond in kind.
Love a Gelding.

Some Stallion Wisdom - Part 1
I've been hearing people say this a lot lately:
Tell a gelding
Ask a mare
Discuss it with a stallion
Humans like to put things in groups and make judgements about the group instead of just seeing each thing individually. This is sad because it prevents them from finding the truth.
What do you think? Talk to me below.
Stay tuned because I am going to have my say about each one soon.

Bragging About the Kids
It's show season and I've been hearing a lot of talk about some of my colts and fillies doing well this year.
Polaris, my 1st colt, (he's a gelding now) born in 2004 showed 3rd Level Dressage this past weekend with scores in the 60's, winning the 1st class with a 66%. I'm pretty sure this was his 1st time out at 3rd Level.
Pleiades, Priscillsa, and Cain - are out in the hunter rings willing ribbons and showing what great 5 and 6 year old horses they are. Their owners love them and it is so nice to see everyone so happy.
Petite Belle, who qualified for the 4 year old USEF/Markel Young Horse Championships last year, was showing at 1st Level with scores in the 60's and 70's. She will probably be at Regional Finals this year.
And this year there are two 3 year olds, Pierre and Pluto, that are expected to be showing later this summer at Training Level. Not a lot of 3 year olds showing Training Level, but several of mine have :).
Here's Pluto showing his stuff on the lunge:
I think he is going to do well!
If you own one of my kids, please send pictures and information - I like to brag!

The Power of Poop
I like how this horse thinks.
The Power of Poop has gotten me out of work many times when there wasn't enough time left to ride by the time I was clean enough for tack.
Go check out the suggestions - I know I found some new ideas!
