Quinn - You're breaking your own filly? That's pretty awesome.

I've been bucked, bolted, kicked, stepped on, bitten, reared off, etc.

At least I've only come off with a couple contusions, sprains, and a broken wrist.

I can't tell you how lucky you are to have been raised with horses/in a horsey family.

My parents honestly don't get it, but, y'know...

Yes, indeed it is.

It was just my foot, but, y'know...

Plus, I haven't been bitten that hard, but horse teeth can hurt if they want them to!

I want to buy a 2 year old and break it. If you go about it the right way, the horse will never buck, kick, or rear.

I loath people who take a 2 or 3 year old that has never been touched and saddle it up and ride it until it has no more buck and kick left. That is pure torture for the poor horse and could result in life-threatening injury for the stupid human who done it.

In reality, almost no people actually do that anymore.

There is actually a lot of people who do it just for fun. Bronc riding is pure torture for the poor horse.

Actually, it is more done unintentionally nowadays, but it still happens. Usually some person get's a horse, 'it simply must be an un-trained one so I can bond with my baby.' The person, unenlightened, attempts to buy a filly or colt for love (love, as in a horse walking up to you in pasture) instead of behavior or bargain. More often than not they end up with the worse end of the deal.
They bring it home....person doens't know beans about training, horse learns bad habits, eventually hurts the person, person sells the horse (or they let it rot in their pasture) and their horse experience has been a bad one.

Yeah, It is pretty exciting. Although weather and time are a bit of a problem currently...

She was born on my birthday

Paint Dutch Warmblood, and she is already huge. She needs to fill out more though.

I think I understand how you feel. I would hate that. Fortuanately for me my mom is a race-horse vet, so obviously we are very involved with horses. It's also a great way to get project horses.
