Remember that thriller movie from the 90s. It was called I know what you did last summer.

Every time the teenagers in the movie saw that message they got scared and were worried they were going to die.

Well that’s about how I feel every time I get a message from someone wanting a breaker done and it says “All the groundwork’s done. Saddled and mouthed. Just needs riding”.

Feet are kind of no one’s and everyone’s problem at the same time. Until some poor sucker needs to work on the feet they are not really a problem. Then when the farriers been kicked across the flat they quickly become everyone’s problem and everyone’s fault.

The owner didn’t imprint the horse and pick them up as it was sliding out of the womb. If an owner is confident and competent then it’s great if they can start picking up feet early. If they are scared and teach them to kick then they are probably best to leave it to the next person.

That’s when it becomes the breakers fault. Most breakers are not farriers. Some will get a farrier in to shoe or trim them. And that’s fine as long as they teach them to stand and allow the farrier to work unmolested.

Finally if it’s managed to sneak through and gets a bit grown up when it gets its first bit of work done to its feet and it kicks the farrier it really quickly becomes everyone’s problem and everyone else’s fault. And it’s a really slippery slope. Good farriers will not let themselves be kicked. They will sack the horse the owner and everyone else. The next farrier will not be as good and he will quickly blame the last farrier the breaker and the stallions mother. The horse will get a hack job done by the hack farrier and eventually it’ll just stop getting its feet done altogether.

The only person who is not really responsible for getting a horse to stand and get its feet done is probably the farrier. Unless you’re paying him to train on your horse they should expect to arrive and leave in the same condition.

There’s some obligation on the farrier though. They should be fit and up to the job. If a horse is playing up because the farriers gut stops them from bending low enough then it’s awful hard to blame the poor old horse if it fidgets.

I don’t care how your horses bred I don’t care if it jumps a metre eighty slides 10 metres and runs 1d times. I just want it to stand while the farrier works on it.

Liv packed her bag swag saddle and horse and headed out to Cloncurry to play with the big kids.

They won the cutout and run third in the juvenile draft. I’m so proud of her.

Not bad on her little nothing bred mare😂

How cool is that lineup. Girl power. Pretty certain we can get rid rid of a ladies draft and start running a men’s only one😂

Huge thanks to Tim, Jaimie for carting them out and keeping her in line.

I’m Super proud of Tim Duggan and Blue balls. If I had a tail I’d wag it. He’s already won challenges and now a draft as well.

If you want a stallion to breed to this season then have a look at blue balls.

He’s by Congressman out of G I’m smooth. Can’t get much more cow breeding than that. I’m surprised he doesn’t have horns.

Contact Jaimie Kriesch to book a mare in.

I go to a lot of clinics. And at lots of those clinics the instructor will ask what folks are looking to get.

Usually someone wants to stop better someone else wants to spin better and everyone wants to learn lead changes.

Just once I’d love someone to say that they would like their horse to stand better for the farrier. Honestly if your not willing to do the bare minimum on the basics your probably never going to get it to stop spin or change leads.

The foot is the farriers problem the rest of the horse is the owners to deal with.

It’s the end of the financial year. If you have a tax problem and need to donate to a charity we would sure love your help.

Unlike bigger charities 100% of donations here go back to helping kids.

What’s it mean when adds say horse needs experienced rider?

Most experienced riders really don’t want to ride horses that need experienced riders.

And they always seem to come from the most inexperienced home.

Took some breakers mustering on the weekend.

Ed gave Pie a lap round some heifers.
No problem.

Kids are so confident. I hadn’t got round to mounting pie from the off side yet. I saw Ed getting on that side and was about to warn him. I kept my mouth shut and he just climbed on and loped off after a cow.

Pretty sure confidence is contagious.

What in the Monty Roberts is going on here?

I’ve tried some s**t but I’m proud to say I’ve ever decided to use a dummy for a first ride.

Seen some dumb arse stuff but never a literal dummy.
