I lucked out and ended up finding (and later buying) the diamond in the rough but had to put up with some crazy and slightly delusional along the way...

I can get a wild, untrained lipizzaner gelding to train for someone else, AND cheese curds - all in one go. <br /><br />And all on my dime of course. AND if I am approved. <br /><br />Come on - you must have made that up! It is absolutely too perfect :)Stephaniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00862983598055228855noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4571933866625297210.post-17268341100461282902011-12-21T00:50:34.121-05:002011-12-21T00:50:34.121-05:00A gem in the making, have you tried him out yet?

The horse is located in Wisconsin Dells, Wisconsin, being boarded and broken. We are looking for someone that has a history in FEI competitions or dressage to continue his training. We do look at this as a win/win proposition; you will be responsible for the training and in turn will be able to show him. If the lease is approved, you may board him at your facility, at another facility or negotiate with the current trainer to leave him there. Under full lease you will be responsible for the board and feed. The preferred barn will be located within a 150 mile radius of Portage ,WI. All other areas will be open for negotiation.<br />This horse was a rescue horse and does need a lot of time and patience to train. If you are interested you may contact the current trainer for information, her information will be supplied upon request. Any interested party will need to submit references from at least one trainer and a veterinarian. The current trainer and I will be involved in approving the lease.

Then again, this is coming from a person who did just that and part boarded one of those 'green horses' trained him, and proceeded to show him. After all that, he's now back to being a trail horse. Two years of work correcting poor riding, bad training, and actually adding some proper training on at the end? Gone, along with his straightness (or as close as we ever got to that), bend, muscle, and even our pitiful self-carriage.Katehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01197789181776030907noreply@blogger.com
