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.

Ooo! I love Warmbloods. Is she a skewbald or piebald?

My current project gelding always steps on my feet. And another time I was grooming at an event for my trainer and this HUGE horse stepped on my foot ( sneakers) with big cross country studs in. Then he leaned on me. THAT REALLY HURT!

Piebald. Black and white, saddle shaped patch on her black, black over her ears and head and ches with a blaze on her face. White/pink nose that burns easily.

In reality, almost no people actually do that anymore.

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.

It doesn't happen as often as most people think, but when it does everyone knows, so people think happens a lot.

I strongly feel a person needs at least 3-5 years of experience working with horses before even considering a young horse.
And not ust working with that nice school horse; I mean working with testy horses, hot horses, big horses, little horses, horses that bite, kick, buck, and have many nasty habits. They need to work with someone and watch them train young horses to halter, load, clip, tie, groom, etc.
You simply CANNOT have little experience, go buy a young horse, and succesfully train a mannered horse. Thats not how it works. It doesnt happen.

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

Because I dont want to start an argument, I am not going to respond.

You don't think some horse that might have never been ridden before isn't scared out of it's mind because somebody put a way too tight rope around their stomach and 1 to 3 hundred pounds drops on their backs outta the blue and releases them into a big Arena surrounded screaming people and some weird dude wearing a rainbow???? Or a saddle that they probably cinch up tighter than you should ever cinch a saddle? If a bronc kills or injures whoever is riding it, then it is the persons own dang fault for doing it because the poor thing was terrified out of it's mind and just wanted the nightmare to end. I saw a thing in a horse magazine were over in Mexico they have a sport where they rope a horse's legs and knock them over, usually resulting in breaking of the horse's legs or neck and they usually always come to a horrible end, just so the stupid, crazy, idiots can have fun! That makes me madder than anything else in the whole wide world!

So true. Tons of people think they can do it and the end results can be fatal. Lots of people just don't know what they are getting into, and don't bother to figure it out before they go and buy just any horse that comes along. They don't check and see the horse's background, whether it has been properly trained, etc. Buying a horse isn't all about the price, and that's what most people miss. if the price is right, it doesn't mean the horse is.
