[SIZE=14pt]I was reading an article that says show horses should not be pet's that they do not excel well in the show ring.[/SIZE]
I have never showed, so I was wondering what the forum members options are on this.
I purchased my first two show horses this summer, one is a filly and the other a colt. I purchased both from quality show breeders, but the filly is a friendly little thing follows you everywhere, the colt is hard to catch, he is not mean like kicking or biting but you have to run him in a corner to catch him.
Since I have never showed before, I guess my question is should I work on getting my colt to come to me like the filly does or not.
I have talked with a couple of trainers and one says that if you train them correctly they can be pets and still make excellent show horses and the other one says that a horse shows better if they are wide eyed and tense.
So I am really confused, on how to handle both these yearlings.
