How much horse worth?
i just want to know how much this horse cost becouse im not sure, solid pait bred and a quarter horse bred, 2 years old been riding her for allmost 5 months, Temperament is like a 4 or 5 she is pretty calm for her age, brood mare and has a good bloodline, registered for apha, pretty musculer approx 1,000 pounds, her Disciplines is halter trained, good at ground work, being trainined for cutting right now, great for trail rides, does western pleasure and i all ready throwing and twirl a lariat while riding her and she didnt care she such a good horse oh yea i allmost forgot she 15.2hh and color sorrel
How much horse worth?
The horse market is a little slow right now across the board. A couple years ago a good prospect like yours might have been worth 2500-5000. Now if her breeding and confirmation are soild, maybe 1500-3000. The good news is that many people are still looking for good cutting horses so the market in that area is still fairly strong for a trained cutting horse.
It sounds like you like your mare a lot and want the best for her. Make sure that you take it slow and don't overwork her too early. Sometimes it is easy to forget that a horse that is 15.2 is still a baby with more growing to do. If you start them right, they have a lot fewer leg problems later. It is good that you are getting her used to a lot of different things early like the lariat or stepping over trail obstacles. That builds her confidence and is easy on her growing body too. That type of training will make her a terrific horse her whole life. Best of luck!
Reply:Well it's hard to tell without a photo. Hearing that halter is her discipline I think halter would be her breeding. So for me looking for a work horse that instantly knocks the price down a lot. You can find loads of good horses that are calm babies. Well that leads us to the baby part. Babies are worth less. Without a photo it's very hard to say the value.
Reply:I stopped reading once I saw that she's only 2 and has been ridden these last 5 months, not to mention already starting the very demanding discipline of cutting... My advice: Stop riding her for at least another year and in the mean time, groundwork, groundwork, groundwork. That is, if you want your mare to be sound by the time she turns 6.
Reply:Man...all that in 5 months of riding at the age of 2. You better hurry up and sell that horse quickly, she'll be totally broken down by the time she's 5 and not worth a dime!!!
Oh and you'll find Yahoo!Answers provide a Spell checker to make life easier for those trying to decipher your grammar!!
Reply:I don't know how much she's worth now. But she won't be worth much in a little while. She's only 2 and you've been riding her for 5months?! She's already cutting and doing western pleasure?! And you're already calling her a broodmare?! Wow. Just wow.
Reply:Nothing. I wouldn't buy a horse that will most likely be lame in a few years due to an owner who obviously doesn't know much about horse training or care about the welfare of the horse.
Reply:WRONG i agree a horse bein hard work b4 their two to three is a promise 4 back and foot problems. I own a training farm and i WOULDIN PAY more than 500. she has been worked to hard to be so young
Reply:At two doing all that she'll be crippled by the time she's 4, so she won't be worth anything.
Reply:maybe the average 1500...since she has so much training maybe a bit more.
Reply:you broke a yearling?!?! WRONG!! i wouldn't pay 500 dollars for this horse because she's going to be lame by the time she's 5. breaking and riding yearlings is BAD BAD BAD! let's just say she's a long 2 and you started her 5 months ago at 2 years old.. that's a little better but a 2 year old should not be in cutter training... it's way too hard on their legs and joints. the fact that she's 15.2 and 1000 pounds at 2 years old makes it worse that you're riding her this hard. this filly needs time to grow and mature before being ridden and pushed like this. i'd like to see a 2 year old still being line drived, and lightly backed at the most! you could honestly expect 1,500-2,000 dollars if her conformation is PERFECT and her pedigree is good

Horse or car? could this be the ride you were looking for?
1. Trail Horse - Your average run around town animal. Has the energy to get where you are going, the brain to find the best way to go, big enough to carry the normal sized American.
2. The Arabian - perfect for those who travel long distances in a day and try to multi task while driving. Although the Arabian may not go to your home or office with out specific instruction, it WILL go somewhere.
3. The Draft - Calling all soccer moms. This big guy can carry the whole team, their gear and snacks. Just like the big machines, this guy will require more fuel, and his shoes will be more expensive than the compact model.
4. The Western Pleasure - The right car for the high end white collar workers. This animal works harder and requires more special knowledge so only the best can figure this out. Be sure to take your cell phone. You won't be stuck in traffic, you just won't be getting anywhere fast.
5. The Parelli - Salesmen, stay at home moms, and high school kids will all enjoy this dream. You can load him down with flapping Wal-mart bags, ask him to walk in places a horse won't fit, and you can dance with him as you listen to the latest tunes.
6. The Ranch - The most dependable animal available. He will go where ever you ask him to, at whatever speed is appropriate. You can tie him to the stop sign and he will be there when you get back. Best of all, this model has been specially engineered to be able to go without water for days and stay fat and slick by eating sagebrush and dead prairie grass.
Of course all models are available in base colors (sorrel, bay, black) Special order colors are available (dun, gray, palomino) and for an additional fee, custom paint jobs are also available (overo, tobiano, blanket, leopard).
No horse is sold with a warranty, however maintenance plans are available in the event brakes, steering, or accelerator fail.

2. The Arabian - perfect for those who travel long distances in a day and try to multi task while driving. Although the Arabian may not go to your home or office with out specific instruction, it WILL go somewhere.
3. The Draft - Calling all soccer moms. This big guy can carry the whole team, their gear and snacks. Just like the big machines, this guy will require more fuel, and his shoes will be more expensive than the compact model.
4. The Western Pleasure - The right car for the high end white collar workers. This animal works harder and requires more special knowledge so only the best can figure this out. Be sure to take your cell phone. You won't be stuck in traffic, you just won't be getting anywhere fast.
5. The Parelli - Salesmen, stay at home moms, and high school kids will all enjoy this dream. You can load him down with flapping Wal-mart bags, ask him to walk in places a horse won't fit, and you can dance with him as you listen to the latest tunes.
6. The Ranch - The most dependable animal available. He will go where ever you ask him to, at whatever speed is appropriate. You can tie him to the stop sign and he will be there when you get back. Best of all, this model has been specially engineered to be able to go without water for days and stay fat and slick by eating sagebrush and dead prairie grass.
Of course all models are available in base colors (sorrel, bay, black) Special order colors are available (dun, gray, palomino) and for an additional fee, custom paint jobs are also available (overo, tobiano, blanket, leopard).
No horse is sold with a warranty, however maintenance plans are available in the event brakes, steering, or accelerator fail.
Horse or car? could this be the ride you were looking for?
i'll take a ranch
special order dapple gray color

How much is this horse worth?
i was just wondering what this horse whould be worth (or how much you whould pay for it) IF i were to sell her. She is a Six yr old AQHA mare she is sorrel with roan in her flanks and white at root of tail. she trail rides and has seen about every thing on the trails she leads, clips, ties, baths, she loves water(so she will go through water on the trails) she neck riens and does about anything that you ask of her. she is very well broke my 3 yr old brother rides her as well as my 8%26amp;10 yr old brother and my 7 yr old little sister she is verry gentle.
This is her pedigree link below:
http://www.allbreedpedigree.com/beea+gol...
She looks differnt now that all of her winter hair is off and she is alot more muscluar now than she is in those pictures they were taken in january 2008.

How much is this horse worth?
wow this horse sounds amazing!! You really dont find to many completely bomb proof horses.The fact that she bathes,loads,etc. makes her at least $500 but i dont think your going to get much more. The way the economy is down, and it is an everyday color sorrel/chestnut. Maybe if she were like a roan or a flashy paint or appy you might could get like $800!!
Reply:In today's market, maybe $750.
After reading all your answers, I have to say the last two sales we went to NOTHING went for over $1000. Broke, through water, bred to the moon, whatever, if it looked like a normal horse and didn't have a show pedigree with the ribbons to back it there was no value. I'm sticking with $750, max.
Reply:Around here she would probably be worth around $1,000-$2,000.
She looks like she's built a little downhill, but it could just be the way she is standing and the ground (if it's uneven or not).
Try and get a picture of her shed out and groomed nicely, and have her stand square on even ground.
She seems like a nice horse - she's very cute. :)
Reply:1. what software did you make the last pic on (e-mail me at horsegeek194@yahoo.com)
2. I was expecting a different type of horse because you said it was a roan but really it is a chestnet (trust me i show and compete and are curantly 1st place in the state).
3. Because she can go through water and is so broke between $2,000 and $5,000.
Reply:these pics aren't very good for seeing her conformation. maybe she is just standing weird, but she looks pretty cow hocked, very downhill, toed out in front as well. the one good thing is her short back and close coupling. nothing very noteworthy in her pedigree. maybe $800? but that really depends on your area.
Reply:Considering people can't afford food and fuel, horses are being given away free. I would say unless your horse is winning money in shows, it would sell for $0.00.
However, the cost of owning her will be about $100,000 in a Stables, or about $30,000 on your own farm... over the next 20 years.
Reply:Around here she would go for about $500 to $750 and that is pushing it. She has a nice rear but the chest is a lil small. She looks like she would make a great 4H or trail horse.
Reply:She seems a bit thin and downhill(though I cant really tell because she might just be on uneven ground). Too bad I couldn't see her without the winter coat... and her expression doesn't look to happy or interested in you either.
Reply:$500 OBO. She looks way too thin for my liking and just too tiny over-all. Plus the horse market really sucks right now and horses with great pedigrees are practically being given away.
Reply:$2000 at the most
Reply:Does she shed out good?
if so, I would pay $1200 -1600 for her
Reply:2000
Reply:does she trailer load?
does she back out of a trailer calmly?
can you pick up all her feet?
can you clip her?
i can't really tell her confirmation.. she looks kinda downhill?
she sounds like she has a good mind though... but most people want show horses, and they sell for.. geez i dunno... 10 thousand to 80 thousand!
from what i know so far, i'd say 500-2,000 $ dollar range.. depends... some people are just willing to pay more
she's cute and would make a GREAT family horse! =)
Reply:It would be really, really nice to see her without that thick winter coat so we could establish her muscle formation and a photo of her on a solid, flat surface, from the side and 3/4 from the back so that we can see those hindquarters.
Also, for six years old, she is in very bad shape. I can see her ribs and her withers stick WAY up. I'm having a hard time believing she's just six..
In any event, don't expect to be able to sell her for a huge price.
$600 and under.
Reply:If she had a more impressive (not the horse) bloodline she'd interest someone but everything is too far back. I wouldn't breed her so the price just dropped.
She seems to be broke well so you have that going for you but with todays market, you may get up to $1200 for her since she is not grade.
If you do decide to sell, you really need to take pics that set her up properly. Squared off and showing the hooves too.
Make sure the ground is flat and there is nothing that distracts the eye in the background.
Groom up nice, trim around the jawline etc...
The winter fuzzies tend to hinder lookers.
Another plus for a sales pic is to show a child riding. Some people want a safe horse for their kids and are willing to pay some money for them..especially a younger horse.
Good luck!

Can a foal be registerd with only one AQHA parent?
I am 13, I bought a foal not too long ago, like in November,he is now going to be a yearling the end of May. He is great, a beautiful conformation, amazing talent, sweet disposistion, and learns fast. I was upset because when his owner was asked about the mother,which I have seen I think she was sorrel, she said "She's my AQHA mare". AQHA means registered right? Well I thought I could registerd him. I bought him and then was told he is immpossible to register. I found his mom for sale last week, and she is DEFINETLY registered, but I can't get ANY info on his father, his mom's name is Ima Star Jack Dunny. He is a Paint,Quater horse cross so I've been told,I think he's bred with more. But anyhow can I get him registered with the AQHA with only knowing his mother,and if so HOW do I prove she's his mother,if it's DNA or something be specific,just dont say "get DNA". I need to know and NOW!
Can a foal be registerd with only one AQHA parent?
If the sire was registered paint (APHA) and dam was registered quarter horse (AQHA) he can be registered paint no matter if he has color or not. He will be classed "breeding stock" on his paint papers, but not really worth it for a gelding.
In order to register you need the breeders certificate with stud and mare's reg # and name, etc on it. DNA samples would be done with hair samples from the foal. Honestly though, it is probably not worth it. The older the horse gets, the more costly it is to register them and you only have until they are 5 I believe. With no leads on the stud, name, registration #, owner, etc... good luck. I don't think you can do it.
If he is to be gelded and is a solid color than it is probably not that important to register him. Honestly, he will just be a "breeding stock" gelding, which means a paint with no color. (Unless he is colored, but still, as a gelding you will never breed him and probably not go to breed shows right?)
Reply:No you can't register your foal, both parents need to be registered. I have just bought a unregistered horse his father is registered but the mother is, so I am in the boat. It's unfortunate but unless your planning on keeping him as a stallion for breeding purposes there is really no need for him to registered. You can still get points in the show ring with him.
Reply:You have to know both parents in order to register with the AQHA
http://www.aqha.com/
There is not a way to get around it - to be registered quarter horse, both parents must be registered. To be registered appendix, one parent must be registered quarter horse and the other registered to an approved breed (ie: arabian, thoroughbred)
Reply:No, there's no way you can do it without his sire being AQHA registered, too. Do you need to register the foal, though? Are you breeding or planning on showing at higher levels?
Reply:The father has to be AQHA registered for him to be registered.
Reply:"Mulegirl" is correct...shoot for a paint/pinto registration.
Reply:Nope if only ONE parent is AQHA then AQHA will NOT register the foal. BOTH parents HAVE to be AQHA. You said sire was a Paint, does your colt have any colour? If so, you CAN register him through "Pinto Horse Assoc".
I found that out the hard way when Model Quarter Horse Assoc. folded in the late 1960's and I got stuck with a then two year old MQHA elgible gelding who's grand sire was Nick Shoemaker...:::Sigh:::
Reply:. . . And obviously the mare's owners are not going to divulge information about the sire. The dam has good bloodlines 3-4 generations back, 3 crosses to Two Eyed Jack. Leo, top and bottom, a line to Three Bars.
Their reasons are their reasons. Might have been an accidental breeding, a dispute with the stallions owner, a stolen breeding, a divorce dispute. . . The bottom line is, unless you have/get a breeder's certificate AND a stallion report recorded by the APHA, ain't no body gonna register your colt. Sorry, you got a rough deal.
If you're so taken with him AND got the show bug, sharpen your skills now and next time, make sure you get your papers in order before paying up.
Reply:You can't register your horse with the AQHA, but there other registries in which he might e eligible. Do a search for "Half Quarterhorse Registry", I found lots of entries. My favorite was Thundering Hooves Registry (half quarterhorses accepted), and also search for, "Half Paint Registry". The CRHA (Colorado Rangerbred) traces to a particular bloodline, you might be eligible for that also. Good luck, there's more than one place to register a horse.

I need a horse name for my new mare!?
I am trading my colt for a 6 yr old registered paint mare.
I am not sure of her registered name, but at the moment her stable name is Duce.
I think that Duce sounds like a pile of **** or food or something, and she is soooo beautiful! I can't believe her owner would name her that.
She is a sorrel overo paint mare with a white(bald) face, one very bright blue eye, and a very dark, almost black eye.
Both her ears are brown.
She has a very awesome personality, she seems very alert when with other people, but is very calm when with me. And around other horses she needs to be the head mare, and will boss them around.
These are the two names i have so far
Payton
Calidapie
BUT I NEED MORE

I own an 11 month old filly she WAS skinny is there a disease that she can get because of the skinny condition
this horse was rescued by her older owner, but he didn't want her, her mother or her father so we bought her and named her sadie but we are afraid that she may get a disease because of how skinny she was at such a young age. she is a sorrel quarter horse. she is not skinny now and is ALMOST 1 year but not quite. she seems strong enough to fight off a disease but i thought i would get some advise from other people before i thought the best of a question. thank you and i look foreward to hearing from you really soon.
I own an 11 month old filly she WAS skinny is there a disease that she can get because of the skinny condition
they have immune systems. just use some probiotics or other supplements that help her. if she is utd with all of her shots i don't think that there is a need to worry. you should consult your vet and have her evaluated. he/she will recommend things to help Sadie along

My show question.....part 2.....this one is for my horse?
ok my last question was about me....but this one is for my horse. Like I said I will be showing in Western Pleasure and Showmanship. I dont have a very expensive or flashy saddle that I will be showing in.....in fact its going to be my everyday riding saddle. My trainer says its fine to use as long as its clean and tidy! I just bought a nice leather headstall and a breastcollar.....their both just plain and not flashy at all. For showing.....do I need a saddle pad or a saddle blanket? and what color should I get? (My mare is a sorrel if that helps). And what kind of flyspray and coat shiner stuff do you recommed? I will be putting baby powder on Jetta's socks and blaze......that's ok right?
My show question.....part 2.....this one is for my horse?
A big misconception is the more silver you have on the saddle the bigger chance you have of winning. Not true, I'm saving up for a show saddle but for now I have a wrangler all a round saddle. Since I show in western pleasure, trail, horsemanship, reining and cattle tracking. But your trainer is right make sure its clean.
As far as breastcollars go its not very popular to show in them. but its a trend. I show in one just because I was high point youth a certain show series and I put it on my horse at those shows. But you can use it. As long as you don't show your horse in a tie down, its illegal i think if not its frowned on in the world of western pleasure. Remember if your horse is over 4 years old you can't steer 2 handed, plus you can't show in a ring snaffle.
For the saddle blanket, I'd use a black saddle blanket, you can buy one of them for about $30 (jeffers is the cheapest) I'd put a pad under the blanket but you don't have to. Black will make your mare look good and what ever color top your wearing it'll make it look good. Or you can get the same color blanket to match your top.
Let me put getting ready for the show in steps.
1. you'll want to wash your mare, since shes not white you don't need brighting shampoo, I use cheap human shampoo from the Dollar General.
2. Absorbine makes a product called Show Sheen, this stuff works great. When the mares dried spray a bit on, and spray some in the mane and tail. Comb out the mane and tail. If you have a sleazy put it on, i put stable sheet on my horse.
3. At the show..brush your mare, I'd spray show sheen again and the fly spray I use is called Ultra Shield. This stuff is very strong, you can use it on yourself too. Put a heavy coat on the horse, your going to be waiting a lot at a show and flys get annoying.
4. if you have any hoof black (horse nail polish) put it on, it'll make your horses sorral coat look very healthy.
5. Put baby powder on the white spots, and take baby oil and put it on your finger, rub it on her nose%26amp;mouth, around eyes, and put some in her ears. This'll make her face look shiny
For showmanship you can use a leather turn out halter, you need to have a leather lead with a shank. You'll either put the shank under the chin and have it hook to the cheek piece or put it like a normal lead but double it. (ask your trainer, they'll show ya) remember if you put it under her chin she'll be more sensitive on the shank and if you pull hard it'll hurt her and she may freak.
make sure you know your pattern in showmanship
Remember for you, breathe, smile, and most off all HAVE FUN
Reply:1. Dont use a breast plate they went out of style like 2 years ago you will look like a noob.
2.Well match your saddle pad to your outfit as best as possible.
3.Use and or buy Showsheen and or cowboymagic you can get it at any feedstore. and Baby powder only on the socks.
Also dont forget to get your horse banded,
in case you dont know what that is here yah go,

Reply:If you go to hobbyhorse.com and order the hobby horse catalog--FREE--Its aranges show pads and outfits by horse color and it will give you tips on Western showing. I love my Hobby horse catalog.
Reply:I would recommend a pad with a high quality plain black wool blanket over it. Patterns distract and can also clash with what you are wearing.
I wouldn't use baby powder on socks. Coronet bands and socks should be clipped and then blended into the darker colored hair. Clipping the jaw, muzzle, ears and any white on the face will give a lot cleaner, sharper profile. Clipping also makes the legs look whiter and sharp and will also prevent the hoof black from bleeding up into the socks. The hooves should be sanded with a sanding block before applying the hoof black. Even white feet should be blacked. Looks sharper. Pepe Spray is the best thing to use for the coat and tail. Gives a really high sheen gloss and if you spray it over the blacked hooves between classes, it will make them nice and shiny again. Oiled hooves will look dirty and dull before you even get into the ring. Tritec fly spray is good enough. You should also get some highlighter for the muzzle, around the eyes and the ears. You can buy colored ones or just use Vaseline.
Reply:I use a saddle pad and a saddle blanket. I would use a bright color like bright green. That usually catches the judge's eye. I don't use baby powder on the pony I lease, so I can't really respond to that.
Reply:for your horse Show Sheen is perfect! If you have a flyspray that works for you thats probably best but if not Tri -Tech works for me for the baby powder put it on her socks not her blaze some time it can get into their eyes if smeared for some reason so not on the face (i know this form experiance). and yes definately get a saddle pad one that maches you outfit would really make a satement but if not the colors that look sriking on sorrels are soft colors here is a link for *Winning Colors by Hobby Horse http://www.hobbyhorseinc.com/07_dress_fo... match you horse and you have a color that sure to nock em' dead! and last clean your tack to the ends of the earth then get out there and Own it!! you'll rock!! trust me =)
Reply:I started showing on a very limited budget and have slowly worked my way up, so I know there are ways to watch your budget when it comes to tack.
Its totally fine to show with a plain saddle, but it must fit you and your horse well or you're wasting your time and effort. You won't place well in equitation if your legs won't go into the proper place, and many Western saddles tend to push your legs forward which is a big problem. So I would worry less about the amount of silver you have, and more about the fit. If it fits well, hurrah! I have also noticed that if you have a nice headstall people hardly notice your saddle, after all you sit on the saddle and cover a good portion of it. If I had only $100 to improve my Western pleasure/equitation presentation in the ring, I would put it into a nice quality headstall with some silver, with simple leather reins. I agree with your trainer, your saddle needs to be clean, that's what really counts.
As for breastcollars, they are still in style at 4-H and Open show levels in many cases. At the bigger breed shows most breast collars are out of style. But you will still see some exhibitors use them. If they help your saddle stay in position better, then carry on. I don't think it will make a difference one way or another - you may want to have a look around at some of the classes before you and note what the majority of good riders are using, and copy them.
Halters for showmanship? Yep, silver will make you blend in with the rest. If you go onto eBay you can buy a no-name show halter with some silver for under $50, perhaps less. I would buy dark leather and avoid anything light oiled. For some reason light oil is popular in saddles and headstalls, but totally out of style for halters. Then again, if you are just showing at a low level for now, your clean leather halter will probably work. Just be aware that no-name show halters are cheap - I bet you can buy a decent one on eBay for less than your good quality plain leather one cost you new!
Saddle pad or saddle blanket? That's up to you and what fits best under your particular saddle. Many exhibitors have a nice thick felt pad and then use a lighter blanket in tones that match their clothes overtop.
What colors? Go onto Hobby Horse's website and look at their color wheel. It will show you what colors work best with what tones horses, and it also has a place where it shows you all the Western show clothing required at the different levels of showing, and the different classes (4-H, Open shows, Breed shows, trail, WP, etc) You don't have to buy Hobby Horse to use the color wheel and other advice.
I think that sorrel horses call for a bit of advernture so I would personally stay away from boring white and black. I think that sorrels look lovely in bright tones such as blue, green and purple, not so good in baby blues or lighter tones. I also think they look good in the really neon colors such as orange, lime green and yellow. The only tones I would really avoid with a sorrel are pink, red, black, white and chocolate brown.
I use showsheen on my horse's tail only. Otherwise I use a non-silicon spray such as Rose Conditioner. You do not want to spray Show Sheen under your tack or it will slide, otherwise it does work well! You need flyspray so your horse isn't tail swishing or cranky, pick whatever spray works well for you. I do not use baby powder myself, even on my Paint horses. Instead I use the purple whitening shampoo and get their socks bright white naturally. You could try Shapley's white spray if you wish. I personally would not apply anything to their blaze, if could irritate their eyes and nose, and if they sweat it could make a bit of a mess.
Hope that helps. I would suggest studying magazines for current show pictures, looking at training videos, and more importantly, going to a few shows similiar to what you want to attend, and seeing what's in style at that type of show in your particular locations. It is true that you want to look like you belong, and are not a total rooky. What's in style here in Canada may be somewhat different than what you'd see in California or Texas!
Reply:yes baby powder is fine
yes you can show in your everyday saddle as long as you clean it up real nice.. however, if your seriously thinking about getting into showing western pleasure and doing showmanship i would consider purchasing a western show saddle most likely light oil if your mare is sorrel. i would also invest in a nice headstall, and for showmanship i would recommend you purchase a western show halter and lead.
your going to need to purchase a saddle blanket of corresponding color to your riding outfit. (if your chaps are black go with a black blanket most likely) your also going to need to purchase an underneath pad to go under your blanket.
i use Pyranha flyspray brand. and show sheen for her coat (just be careful not to spray it on the saddle area because it gets very slippery and you don't want your saddle falling off!)
hope this helps :)
ps. be sure you know how to band her nicely using rubber bands to match her coat color (or white if she has white markings)
-----to your edit about banding
***** there are many shows that will not allow you to compete w/o a banded horse just FYI
Reply:to get her coat shiney brush her a few weeks everyday for at 10 minutes, it will bring out her natural oils in her coat.(ei-bathing a horse really drys them) Also the cool thing about sorrels are any color looks good on them. Another way to make socks seem more white i get washout white spray for your hair and use it on them but i wouldnt use them on her blaze-we use it for them dang grass spots. As for saddle blankets I always use my same tack I just put a pretty blanket over my pad and get matching bell boots. I cant rly afford things either so its a cheap way to look good-tricks of the trade. hope it helps!!
Reply:To figure out what color will look best with her coat try hobbyhorseinc.com, they ahve a color wheel chart that lsiustd the coat colors and whats shade compliment them. I recomend a good wool show pad, blankets are nice but you have to align them oh so right or they tend to slip revealing the pad underneath. Fly spray I like gordon's horse and pony spray or endure, both are oil based so the horse does no sweat it off. The oil also adds a slight sheen to the coat, to enhance white marking try white n brite shampoo or "bluing shampoo" the bluing shampoo is a shampoo used by little old ladies to keep their hair from turning yellow. Also there is groomers chalk which will go on a little thicker and stay longer than baby powder, a clear or black hoof polish for hooves. Shosheen works well to put a shine tot he coat:) Good luck this season!!!!!
here is a direct link to the color wheel for ideas on what will look good

Reply:Yep, I showed several state winners using a Martha Josey barrel racing saddle (not kidding) and I'm not talking little shows either. It's what you do in the saddle that counts, for real. Yes, you need a saddle pad, or blanket...not one with fringe, not one that will show a lot of motion, a cowboy looking one...seriously. nothing fancy, nothing loud colored. Showmanship is supposed to be the handler, but if there is any way to borrow, beg or...nevertheless acquire a silver halter, just do it...not supposed to make a difference, it does...it shows off your horse and that is what you are supposed to be doing. Show Sheen is hard to beat...I have tried about everything, and some of the new stuff attracts dust...it smells good but you don't want that going into the show ring...the judge doesn't care what your horse smells like, he cares what it looks like...and what is on his hand if he rubs down the hair with it...make sure you don't skimp on fly spray....it's important. You, personally need to exude a presence of "proud of your horse but full of humility to the judge...it's a balancing act...it works.
EDIT*****And I got two thumbs down for that answer? I will just consider it a compliment.
OOPS three thumbs down...I must have a winner here :)

I don't think it will make a difference one way or another - you may want to have a look around at some of the classes before you and note what the majority of good riders are using, and copy them.
Halters for showmanship? Yep, silver will make you blend in with the rest. If you go onto eBay you can buy a no-name show halter with some silver for under $50, perhaps less. I would buy dark leather and avoid anything light oiled. For some reason light oil is popular in saddles and headstalls, but totally out of style for halters. Then again, if you are just showing at a low level for now, your clean leather halter will probably work. Just be aware that no-name show halters are cheap - I bet you can buy a decent one on eBay for less than your good quality plain leather one cost you new!
Saddle pad or saddle blanket? That's up to you and what fits best under your particular saddle. Many exhibitors have a nice thick felt pad and then use a lighter blanket in tones that match their clothes overtop.
What colors? Go onto Hobby Horse's website and look at their color wheel. It will show you what colors work best with what tones horses, and it also has a place where it shows you all the Western show clothing required at the different levels of showing, and the different classes (4-H, Open shows, Breed shows, trail, WP, etc) You don't have to buy Hobby Horse to use the color wheel and other advice.
I think that sorrel horses call for a bit of advernture so I would personally stay away from boring white and black. I think that sorrels look lovely in bright tones such as blue, green and purple, not so good in baby blues or lighter tones. I also think they look good in the really neon colors such as orange, lime green and yellow. The only tones I would really avoid with a sorrel are pink, red, black, white and chocolate brown.
I use showsheen on my horse's tail only. Otherwise I use a non-silicon spray such as Rose Conditioner. You do not want to spray Show Sheen under your tack or it will slide, otherwise it does work well! You need flyspray so your horse isn't tail swishing or cranky, pick whatever spray works well for you. I do not use baby powder myself, even on my Paint horses. Instead I use the purple whitening shampoo and get their socks bright white naturally. You could try Shapley's white spray if you wish. I personally would not apply anything to their blaze, if could irritate their eyes and nose, and if they sweat it could make a bit of a mess.
Hope that helps. I would suggest studying magazines for current show pictures, looking at training videos, and more importantly, going to a few shows similiar to what you want to attend, and seeing what's in style at that type of show in your particular locations. It is true that you want to look like you belong, and are not a total rooky. What's in style here in Canada may be somewhat different than what you'd see in California or Texas!
Reply:yes baby powder is fine
yes you can show in your everyday saddle as long as you clean it up real nice.. however, if your seriously thinking about getting into showing western pleasure and doing showmanship i would consider purchasing a western show saddle most likely light oil if your mare is sorrel. i would also invest in a nice headstall, and for showmanship i would recommend you purchase a western show halter and lead.
your going to need to purchase a saddle blanket of corresponding color to your riding outfit. (if your chaps are black go with a black blanket most likely) your also going to need to purchase an underneath pad to go under your blanket.
i use Pyranha flyspray brand. and show sheen for her coat (just be careful not to spray it on the saddle area because it gets very slippery and you don't want your saddle falling off!)
hope this helps :)
ps. be sure you know how to band her nicely using rubber bands to match her coat color (or white if she has white markings)
-----to your edit about banding
***** there are many shows that will not allow you to compete w/o a banded horse just FYI
Reply:to get her coat shiney brush her a few weeks everyday for at 10 minutes, it will bring out her natural oils in her coat.(ei-bathing a horse really drys them) Also the cool thing about sorrels are any color looks good on them. Another way to make socks seem more white i get washout white spray for your hair and use it on them but i wouldnt use them on her blaze-we use it for them dang grass spots. As for saddle blankets I always use my same tack I just put a pretty blanket over my pad and get matching bell boots. I cant rly afford things either so its a cheap way to look good-tricks of the trade. hope it helps!!
Reply:To figure out what color will look best with her coat try hobbyhorseinc.com, they ahve a color wheel chart that lsiustd the coat colors and whats shade compliment them. I recomend a good wool show pad, blankets are nice but you have to align them oh so right or they tend to slip revealing the pad underneath. Fly spray I like gordon's horse and pony spray or endure, both are oil based so the horse does no sweat it off. The oil also adds a slight sheen to the coat, to enhance white marking try white n brite shampoo or "bluing shampoo" the bluing shampoo is a shampoo used by little old ladies to keep their hair from turning yellow. Also there is groomers chalk which will go on a little thicker and stay longer than baby powder, a clear or black hoof polish for hooves. Shosheen works well to put a shine tot he coat:) Good luck this season!!!!!
here is a direct link to the color wheel for ideas on what will look good

Reply:Yep, I showed several state winners using a Martha Josey barrel racing saddle (not kidding) and I'm not talking little shows either. It's what you do in the saddle that counts, for real. Yes, you need a saddle pad, or blanket...not one with fringe, not one that will show a lot of motion, a cowboy looking one...seriously. nothing fancy, nothing loud colored. Showmanship is supposed to be the handler, but if there is any way to borrow, beg or...nevertheless acquire a silver halter, just do it...not supposed to make a difference, it does...it shows off your horse and that is what you are supposed to be doing. Show Sheen is hard to beat...I have tried about everything, and some of the new stuff attracts dust...it smells good but you don't want that going into the show ring...the judge doesn't care what your horse smells like, he cares what it looks like...and what is on his hand if he rubs down the hair with it...make sure you don't skimp on fly spray....it's important. You, personally need to exude a presence of "proud of your horse but full of humility to the judge...it's a balancing act...it works.
EDIT*****And I got two thumbs down for that answer? I will just consider it a compliment.
OOPS three thumbs down...I must have a winner here :)
I really want to start a buckskin line with my palimino mare. HELP?
My mare is a palomino out of a sorrel mare and sired by a palomino stallion. I want to begin a breeding program for buckskins and palominos and I am looking to breed my first buckskin. Would I be correct in saying that I need to breed to a homozygous for the black gene stallion? In looking for this, i only find paints that are homozygous for the black gene. I understand that this throws paint into the possibity mix. What should i really do and look for in a stallion if i want a buckskin foal?
I really want to start a buckskin line with my palimino mare. HELP?
Look at the stallion's progeny and see what percentage of his colts are buckskins. Normally a breeder will answer all of your questions and even have pics of the offspring. Hope this helps!
Reply:I own a buckskin mare her parents was a palomino stallion and her mom was a bay mare don't know much about the coloring only know in my situation hope it helped some I found on the net forget where on here color chart not sure but might help you out alittle good luck

What color is this horse?
I have been exercising a pony recently, and she is a very unique color. She has a brownish body, and white mane and tail. It's not really sorrel, she has very little red in her, and its deffinatly not paimino, she is much darker. I was just wondering what you would call her. She is a rather large welsh pony, about fourteen hands, maybe a little under. She is really cute and super sweet.
What color is this horse?
Probably Red Roan..Does she sorta look like this? http://www.flickr.com/photos/bellabaci/1... People also call it Strawberry Roan but it means the same thing!
EDIT: Maybe she is more of a dark coco color? I call it dark coco..lol..I don't know the actual term. Does she sorta look like this..http://www.flickr.com/photos/richardsonr...
EDIT: Her mane is lighter? Like this..http://www.flickr.com/photos/el_stev0/39... I love horses that look like that!
Reply:If her legs are not black, my guess is that she is a liver chestnut- a very dark chestnut that can sometimes be mistaken for a dark bay if dark enough. The light colored mane and tail would be called a flaxen mane and tail (lighter in color).
Does your horse look like the one in the picture below? If so, she's a liver chestnut with a flaxen mane and tail.
Reply:Do you mean a sorrel chectnut with a flaxen mane and tail......
Wish you had a pic to post
Reply:Perhaps a diluted silver dapple?
Reply:Most likely she is a silver bay such as the horses in the following links. Silver bays are sometimes called chocolate palominos, or silver dapples.

Reply:Sounds like a chocolate palomino. I say palomino are the best color because they come in Chocolate, Gold and champange.
Reply:Liver chestnut with flaxen mane and tail? Don't think it has a name other than that. This is a characterisitc of Welsh ponies (I did some work experience at international welsh cob stud and there was a bloodline there carrying that colour).
Palominos can be very dark too sometimes, also fairly common with welsh horses.
The link below is a palomino welsh cob.
The link on the bottom is a liver chestnut with a fflaxen mane and tail.
Both the horses in the pictures are of Welsh breeding.
I live in Wales so I see alot of the Welsh breeding!
Reply:Chocolate Palomino is what I think you have. You said that it closer to the 2nd picture by eventer99. Chocolate Palomino is what I would call that color.
Palomino can come in a variety of colors. There is not just the standard golden palomino with golden mane and tail. They can be darker.
Do a google image search for chocolate palomino they have lots of pictures.
Reply:is she a silver bay? Those are bays with white manes and tails.......or is she the color that Rocky Mountain Horses are famious for? Is it like a chocolate color?
