  • It's time for another Question and Answer session!
    This week, another one from Facebook: How to match up a pair - for example, when you have one horse but are looking to buy a partner for it for pair work.
    In this video, Barry covers the main things to look out for and things you can test and try with both horses to minimise buying a horse that doesn't fit with yours.

    Barry, you say it always so clear that everybody understand what you mean. A lot of people with horses can learn a lot from you if the take the time to listen to you. Greetings from the Netherlands

    I could sit and listen all day. Each time I learn something new. This information is priceless. Thank you, Barry.

    Thank you so much for sharing your experiences of years of observation. Such a treasure! I think some people might not think about whether the horses get along well with each other, like you do. That can really be a constant headache if they do not enjoy working together and that cannot be manufactured into place.

    Thank you for posting this video. We are wanting to match up our American Shetland pony to create a team, and found the advice very helpful.

    The metronome works better at the trot than at the walk.
    I had a hunter once. Three of us were trotting (riding) down a road for some distance. One of the other riders commented on the horse I was riding who had a very rhythmical trot. :.......ahh, M....., you could spend all day in a cart behind a horse like that.

    Interesting new beginning. Someone has been working hard on the graphics. Looks good, very professional.
    Can we be forgiven for thinking that New Zealand is not somewhere you plan to come in future? I had been holding hope that one day here in the South Island, we may have a visit from you. Your graphics indicate you go no further than the east coast of Australia. Was that intentional, I wonder, or can we continue to live in hope.....?!

      Hi PayntPot - thanks for you kind comments! The graphics were based purely on the locations of the people asking first few questions that came through and were designed to show a rough 'all across the globe' theme, nothing to do with future plans of where we would be going to. Nowhere is impossible so long as restrictions allow!

    This is so interesting. I’ve got a 16yro sec A I’ve been driving for ten years as a single. Could I put another similar pony with him regardless of age or driven experience?

    • @barryhook2
      @barryhook2  3 года назад +3

      Any horses that are well matched and get on with each other should be able to work together regardless of age, so long as both are fit and trained. However, if by 'regardless of driven experience' you mean could you put an untrained horse alongside him for breaking, that is a bit different. We train our schoolmasters to a very high standard before expecting them to cope with a completely untrained horse put alongside them. Some horses make better schoolmasters than others!
