I am looking at a 9 year old qh gelding, that was used for western pleasure, been shown, has not been shown in about a year. He's just been hanging out at the barn and pasture for the last year, gets ridden occasionally.

Most QH can jump just fine.\n\nHave him vet checked.  Knee and hock x-rays to check for any previous injury.

Sounds like the passage of time has not taken away the distrust.  If you are uncomfortable just pack it in.  Why go over the same old ground and end up down the road with the same old ex. Go forward with your life, it is dumb to keep trying the same horse when the saddle is not right.

I think your best bet for jockey is a younger less experienced horse one who responds well to the yoke.  Not because your harsh but because your both learning.  A stud not tried on the circut of familiar maybe a bit sheltered.  A stud who is running for the sake of the said jockey and for no other reason.  I really think you'd be a fine jockey on the right stead.  I say you buy the silks but you need to choose the right stead.  You've seen sea biscut right the most unpredictable of rides can prove winners.

We do some on our farm. The person has to be the proper fit with the horse before we even consider it though. It is a lot more common than people think. Find your potential horse and inquire with the owners, you may get lucky.

There is insufficient governance on the race track to prevent these issues.\nWe run horses WAY too young.\n\n#1 a three year old is still a baby and not fully grown.\nThey push them to limits thier bones and tendons cannot stand.\n#2 We are breaking them and putting loads on theri backs as yearlings to get them ready. Have you ver seen a yearling? they are tiny...\n#3 They stand in a stall most of their life and if they are lucky the get sprints once a day.\nHow can they stand up to heavy load.\nTrainers fault!\nI love horses and race horses with all my heart.\nIt is a fine sport when they are trained well.\nBarbaro was extremely well trained. But he was still young.\nImagine how many there are that don't get such excellent training.\n\nThey simply can't take it and the owners are too impatiant to get a profit.\nIt would at least help If all our big races weren't 3 yr olds.

Yay for you for knowing about Silky Sullivan first off. He was one of the greatest horses of our time and is often over looked. I couldn't find anything about this filly however. But just from experience on a breeding farm, she was probably used as a broodmare after her racing days were over.

AQHA members I believe have the ability to look up horses...or you can call the AQHA with the registered name and get info. Unless that has changed - I did that and you can get progeny reports and other info online. APHA I'm not sure - doesn't hurt to call or email the registry with the horse's name and ask. I'm not sure if it's been changed or not - with more celebrities getting those breeds it might change for privacy reasons. \nTB doesn't give out info even the last owner. They can tell you if a mare if she's had a foal reported (indicating she's alive) but no owner contact info.

I hope it's not too late.  This is very informative.  Maybe it will help.http://www.equineonline.net/uk/equestrian_articles/seabiscuit.htm

Don't give up on your dream. Link below proves the term "Equine Lawyer" exists.  I'd contact this group of people and see where they went to school.

I saw one of his road bikes a long time ago. I didn't ride it, but it was a sight to behold.

The trainers theses days are so much better( a smarter breed)but this horse is use to getting 3 to 6 weeks between racing efforts....if they get his all in Preakness could be nothing left for the Third jewel....I do hope this horse races afterwards though...like the Breeders Cup stuff no matter what happens.....I like the turf to dirt move ...speed breaks down faster on the grass..so if your horse can do a mile or longer at 2 yrs(good effort 5th or better)..try him on the dirt...and the rest is HISTORY

well , if he´s not religious , spiritual , or has a really good excuse for it  , and is still a 30 year old virgin , then he can either be a liar , or there´s something seriously wrong with him. and if none of the previous options apply , then you  have discovered the last specimen of an extincted bred ( are you sure he´s human btw ?) \np.s.\n you can  call  Ripley or a museum at least , i bet they´ll give you good money to put him on display

try looking on the net, or asking around, or go to a local horse farm and see if the owner will comply with what you are looking for.
