Oh wow, yeah, you were an infant! Whatever your parents did has nothing to do with you at that point. I don't know why someone would judge a kid for having divorced parents. That's just wild.

He didn’t realize, he backtracked some once he was told but he also had a habit of mansplaining that made it very funny to be a part of haha

@Lux, sounds like he needed to vent. That or didn't realize everyone at the table had divorced parents. XD

I once went on a double date where the other’s guy talked about how traumatic their parents amicable divorce was and how we didn’t know how divorce could be damaging for kids (they were 17 when it happened). While divorce can be traumatic and damaging, he was talking to a table full of people with divorced parents

@Rainy, I have been looked down on it for my whole life even though I wasn't even 1 when it happened. It sucks.

Yeah, it can be annoying for sure. I think everyone does it to a degree, though.

On a different date the guy wanted to know about what it's like being a kid to divorced parents. He was extremely turned off by the fact my parents were divorced. =/

I think it was the fact that he talked about his special interest and himself for the whole hour and a half that bothered me.

Yeah the special interest talk isn't bad. Just can be for the wrong person lol

The talking about yourself the whole time tho?? That's crazy. I always worry that I talk too much about myself just in one simple conversation lol

@Snitch, was he fascinated with tree rings too?

The last online date I went on the guy spent the whole time talking about himself and tree rings. 😬

His right side is the weaker side, I've already ridden him quite a few times but the other day when I arrived he made a low nicker at me when he saw me, and we lunged and he managed to pick up both of his leads twice, and we had a nice little walk and I walked him over a small cross rail, and then I brushed him, he absolutely loves being brushed, we could do it for hours (we have) and I picked his feet out for the first time and he lets me touch his ears and everything. and then he watched me leave.
I'm thinking of making his color blue he looks so good in it.
He is getting gelded next week, and then in a couple of weeks, we will finally bring him home.
Fun fact: The name Ryder symbolizes strength and leadership

He's gorgeous, but please don't be riding and jumping a two year old. He has so much growing ahead of him.

He's almost 3 he'll be 3 in the spring, and quarter horses are pretty much done growing by then, and of course I'm not jumping him yet, that the end goal it to get over a cross rail by the end of the year

This 100%
More and more research is coming out about how many bad long term effects of riding early and especially jumping early will cause
He isnt finished growing and the problems it can and will cause down the line are soo not worth it, Ive seen it first hand
He is absolutely darling though <3
Love his lil face marking

yes. And btw, QHs don't stop growing any quicker than other breeds, they take about 8 years to stop growing entirely(mentally as well), but that's mainly the big flat bones that grow slower. You can cause serious issues by riding and jumping(no matter how small) a young horse, typically only polework is done on them until they're about 4 :)
-
And remember, it's best to not expect him to do any form of jumping this young, I think hoping to do small(8"-12") crossrails near his 4th birthday would be safer. Don't push him too hard this young, you'll regret it later in his life :)

Just was going to say this, my reiner (a QH obviously lol) didn't fully mature in height and body mass until she was 8 or 9. Mentally, she didn't mature until 6.

Allowing them to mentally mature before really getting into the nitty-gritty fine-tuning of their training is always important, it's so easy to screw up a horse mentally by expecting too much, too young. It's like giving a 9-year-old high school/college-level work and expecting decent work, it's not fair to them and metally degrading.

Totally agree. I personally wouldn't start mine till around 4. I feel like even after 6 my mare grew more mentally. But 6 is when I saw her change from a baby to an adult mind. She was still imature though and not always confident in herself. This specific mare is now 15 and is super confident and smart. I would say around 10 is where I felt like I could finally push her and finish her training.

My mother bought a 2yo Welsh Pony 11 years ago, and due to a lack of time+3 kids, she never got the chance to work with him very much. A few years ago, she asked my to work with him, and if I got him up to pay with the other ponies, she'd get me my own horse. He was very shy, not confident, and overall the nervous but curious sort. Now, he follows me around everywhere like I'm his dam, lets me kiss his nose(he used to not let anyones face near his) and does tricks, like handshakes and fistbumps. While he was started much later in life than anyone would choose to, I strongly believe that letting him grow up helped him, though some horses aren't that way.
