[QUOTE="Manator, post: 435019, member: 9561"] I have grown up all my life with horses, spending a year at Newmarket when I was just 14. I left because being from up north 12 months of abuse is all that we can take! I have owned Arabs (pure bred) and shown in hand, but my all time favourite was a Clydesdale that I owned from a foal to the end. In the old days we never went for all the fads that are around these days, we were basically cowboys doing it the old way. All I will say is that there are many people making big money talking a load of rubbish. The only way any horse suffers from cold back is when it is not broken properly. What I would suggest is a couple of months extra training, for the first week just throw a blanket over and constantly walk, the next week throw a good fitting saddle over the blanket, without a girth or any stirrup leathers, and again just walk. Then try a loose girth for at least a week, gently tightening over at least a months worth of work. I did this with one thoroughbred that had thrown his rider and had the horse back to him within 4 weeks. All this lettuced about nerve endings, and such like will depart you with a load of money. Its all in the horses mind, just like ours, do it right, show them that it is OK, and you will end up with a good riding horse. [/QUOTE]
