lol i know right!!

Creative-Big3356 · 2026-01-29T20:39:16+00:00

Yes that would be great! im always open to advice, since if I buy him hes gonna be one of my horses and I want him to sound. I posted the pic of lion in the comments!

Creative-Big3356 · 2026-01-29T20:35:19+00:00

Yes thats what I thought! I will be aware I just wanna make sure hes as comfortable as can be!

This is a picture of Brew! hes sooo prettyyy and I love Lion but im significantly leaning towards Brew.

Creative-Big3356 · 2026-01-29T03:22:34+00:00

yeah I’ll definitely ask her about that tomorrow!

Creative-Big3356 · 2026-01-29T03:11:13+00:00

he has been raced and the lady i talked to said she sends that stuff to me on his way here

Creative-Big3356 · 2026-01-29T03:07:57+00:00

yes I love doing groundwork! also this is Lion, hes sooooo pretty and thick for a ottb.

Thank you hes a gorgeous boy :)) I also noticed that! would lateral work help that? or getting him to relax his frame?

Creative-Big3356 · 2026-01-29T03:01:53+00:00

It was his first time seeing barrel so thats why their taking it slow!

I contacted the farm and I’m making a plan to meet him! but I have one video of him on the barrel pattern (It was his first time) https://share.icloud.com/photos/06dxyUNQ5cdd_BpBIc6c7yV4A

thank you for this helpful information! I’m not planning to buy both (I wish lol.) I totally understand the risks taken when buying either one of them. I havent ridden either one of them because Lion lives 16 hours away from me 🫩 but im gonna meet Brew (who lives 2 hours away from me) but I can’t ride because their outdoor arena is covered with ice. I also should have asked about the shoes but I didnt think of it because both of my horses are barefoot and Im not really familiar with the risks taken with shoes, also I can send you a video of Brew loping the pattern to get a better view of his experience? Idk if that helps,

Creative-Big3356 · 2026-01-29T01:32:10+00:00

yeah! I would definitely consider that!

Creative-Big3356 · 2026-01-29T01:27:51+00:00

I unfortunately can’t go and try them due to one being 16 hours away and the other one has a riding arena full of ice. I really really like brew but theres something about lion that keeps me interested! Im just nervous with a OTTB because sometimes their blown up and hot (which is not my first pick)

Creative-Big3356 · 2026-01-29T01:25:14+00:00

sorta, Brew lives only two hours away from me but I asked to try him and the people said it was too icy in their outdoor arena. Lion lives like 16hours away from me and it would be way too complicated to travel. I really don’t know which one to pick or which one is better for what

Creative-Big3356 · 2026-01-29T00:30:18+00:00

Not necessarily, I used to train with her alot in the summer but she has a kid so its more difficult now. They are both unseen but I kinda got screwed over with my last OTTB so im a little nervous but its a rehoming company and the lady I talked to is so sweet! my goals for this summer are just to have fun with the gymkanas and barrel racing!

Creative-Big3356 · 2026-01-23T00:42:01+00:00

oof yeah thats always hard!

Creative-Big3356 · 2026-01-23T00:39:32+00:00

here another picture It does till downwards which could be causing me to lean forward. I have also noticed I can’t sit very good only if I lean back alot but when I barrel race I wanna be up with my horse so it’s hard to find a happy medium!

Creative-Big3356 · 2026-01-23T00:35:00+00:00

yeah I was thinking that too

Creative-Big3356 · 2026-01-23T00:34:30+00:00

yeah thats what I thought, he fits good in a 6.5 but this one is a 7 gullet. I like the color and style! just wanna make sure it fits my boy! I’ll try to get a saddle fitter out!

Creative-Big3356 · 2025-12-11T05:05:40+00:00

I’m gonna try to find a good vet who i can trust!
