    It looks like in the picture, you have your saddle way back and your weight way back on his kidneys. That's probably what is making his back sore. You have long legs and he has a short back...plus where the saddle is placed(too far back).

    The last thing one should do is put liniment underneath where the saddle goes. Even diluted.

    I'm very kumbayah-let's-all-sing-together til people start talking about mistreating horses, then you have my full attention. Pain in a young horse's back from incorrect tack or riding is not a matter of 'riding style' or 'opinion'. It is a disorder, a condition, and it needs to be treated...

    Before, you said you trained horses for twenty years and then retired. Now it's ten. Cold water? Probably not, it's often given as an excuse, but reaction to cold water is very brief - usually the muscles are already sore when someone says, 'oh, cold water made him sore'. The other one is...

    Sore backs, especially in young horses, can take months to heal up. Sometimes they never heal - sore backed is one thing one never, ever wants a young horse to be.

    I don't really think I can respond to this delightful new information in a way that goes along with my conscience and values, without getting banned, but...... It's flat out cruelty to ride a just broke horse til it's sore, and fighting with the horse and using a whip to get him to do anything...

    not considering the pressure of youth.

    the front teeth don't matter much at all. It's the back teeth being uneven that's a problem. I thought you said you had a zillion friends who wanted pasture ornaments? This is one person, and they already got theirs.

    those people who want snazzy looking lawn ornaments, I know there are about 2 million horse owners in the US who would be willing to ship their snazzy looking lawn ornaments over to Israel. I'm going to bet it isn't really that easy to get rid of a horse over there either.

    Most likely, your best choice is to find someone who takes good care of their breeding stock, and from them, buy a young, healthy horse that is inexpensive because of something you can live with (like a little too small or not the right color for the breed), take good care of it, and just...

    If it's in the same place as the other horse, it's probably so footsore it doesn't even want to get over in the stall. I wouldn't make a lot of assumptions about the horse. It looks very immature, but that can be because it's not getting fed a whole lot. There are really nice horses in Israel...

    Re paints - you may want to look up the rules of the American Paint Horse Association as to what bloodlines they register and what their other requirements are. The pinto would make a nice horse for just casual riding around, but I don't know for how long. He has the look of a neglected...

    I think if you have so many different breeds of horses, race horses, warmbloods, etc, youo will know that the risks of early riding are clear. Research has shown how the horse's bones grow and mature, and Quarter Horses are no different from any other sort of horse in how they mature or when...
