Training

Charlie is being taught to jog (a slow trot mostly seen in western showing)
and Showmanship we have been working on it for a long time now (about 1 to 2 months before the show last September)it takes a long time to teach a thoroughbred to stand still and stand square along with backing up LOL.

Charlie had broken his withers in the starting gate when he was 5 years old (The withers is where the back the neck and the shoulders meet)
He got 2nd place in a halter class last year I had forgotten to teach him that clapping is OK:0

Charlie's First show


This is my horse Charlie. He got his first ribbon doing something other than racing! He did very good and I'm proud of him.

Sam's Horse Adventure

Welcome to my blog about my second horse Charlie! I'm a homeschooler in Georgia and I have lots of time to work with him. He is an ex-race horse (actually won first at Colonial Downs) but was injured and retired.

I won't bore you with too many details now, I just wanted to get things started. I'll have photos as soon as I figure some of this stuff out.
