I am learning to train horses at Connors State College in Warner, Oklahoma. We mostly focus on the training of two year olds but we do some specialized training in reining and cutting. Its an awesome program and so much fun, hard work but fun.

I am in the process of breaking my paint filly.( I am also starting to halter train my qh colt.They will be jumpers. I have trained 2 jumpers w/ the help of my trainer. Nice site!

I’m 3rd generation horse person – currently not training, as we are just getting our new place set up. I only have 2 horses right now – both of my boys are older but as soon as we’re set up (hopefully by next spring) I can start in again with young stock. Currently I have Arabians, but have shown Quarter Horses, Saddlebreds, Half Arabians, Morabs and Walking Horses.

I’m primarily western pleasure and western equitation, though I showed the Quarter Horses hunt seat as well. I also had a 5-gaited American Saddlebred that I showed with a lot of success. Around here though it’s almost all either western or hunter/jumper with a bit of dressage. Not many people do saddleseat – I’ve still got my cutback saddle but am thinking of selling it for that reason, though the Arabs do show saddleseat.

Tried dressage, but felt like a sack of potatoes because the seat position is so different from either saddleseat or western.

The most driving I’ve done is with roadster ponies and a team of shetlands.

I used to jump for fun but really didn’t really like it, so I didn’t continue on, though I did have the urge when I was in high school to ride in the Omak Stampede suicide race (think Man from Snowy River). My folks squelched that one. Probably, looking back, it wasn’t such a great idea on my part, but at the time I thought it was.

I do – will be doing more when we get our own place so have more control over the management of things. Pleasure, sales prep, some driving.
Trying to focus on appaloosas but that is tough. Was told there isn’t a way to make a living training anymore because too few people sending their horses out. From some of the questions on here…seems like LOTS of horses still need help.

I train western, as well as preformance.(ropping, barral racing and penning horses.) heance I only breed and train quarterhorses.

You don’t say much about yourself (single, married, like to chat or not), but if you are interested in meeting other horse people, there’s a singles site for horse people. Lots of married people also go there for the horse chat, but be SURE to make it clear you are not "in the market" if you’re not!

It costs to be a premier member, but basic membership is free and you can chat with a basic membership.

I train racehorses….well, im an assistant at any rate….have been the past 2 years, before that i started 2yr olds for a pretraining facility, but that was only 6 month contract..including sales prep etc. I competed in showjumping, dressage, equitation, showing, eventing for about 6 years, i trained all my own showjumpers. now i do alot of starting work with the thoroughbreds i help train, just basic flatwork stuff to help them perform, and use themselves better. I’ve been riding and working with horses for about 18 years now, and i love it….always learning something new. oh, i also trained polo ponies for a short while, and did a bit of fox hunting while i was in ireland.

I do Western and Barrel training and riding/showing.

I did a few English events. However, I am mostly a Western rider with Halter performance/ground work. I have a lot more fun and feel more relaxed.

i train but i train wild mustangs me and my friend taylor do!

I train a lot of disciplines but am really trying to focus in on reining it has recently become my all time fav. But I do have one QH mare i’m training western and english pleasure as well as horsemanship, one Paint stud i’m training jumping, and 2 QH’s (one stud one filly) i’m training in reining and possibly some cutting.
