Bookmark or Share- New, broken horse explodes under pressure | The Horse ForumAnother major considerations is that these horses that are trained in Spain and imported are trained under pretty extreme pressure, and can be very shut down and emotionally and physically messed up.

- Your definition of green broke, broke, well broke and dead broke.For horses I define... Green Broke as started under saddle. The horse knows the basics and will move at a walk, trot and canter, but has very few miles. The horse may not be quick with transitions, and may not be overly maneuverable. Bucking, bolting, rearing and spooking are all a possibility. Only advanced riders should ride these horses.
- Help!! Broken Lead Rope - The Horse ForumClean up the broken ends, and lay them side by side with a two or three inch overlap.
