Location: Oklahoma | Mine is broke.....really really broke. She really rides around nice and has lots of buttons. She has been so incredibly easy to start. She is loping through the barrels pretty easily. She requires very little help and is probably ready for more speed but I'm not a futurity person so I don't really know that I need to add speed yet. I'm just playing with her and having fun. |

Location: "...way down south in the Everglades..." | Well mine sliced herself up bad at 2 so we are behind a bit. But she is just getting solid broke at this point. Hasn't seen the pattern yet. Hopefully will get slow loping it shortly. |

| I broke mine out the very end of April and she w/t/l, starting to move off leg pressure a little better and working on shoulder control. She trail rides nice and just taking it slow. I am not putting on a futurity track so I am not in any rush. She keeps growing so the downhill ride isn't much fun  |

| Has been at the trainer for 2 weeks - was out of the round pen and loping around the arena by his 4th ride, so hoping he is one that catches on fast! |

| I've given up on even trying to ride mine this year. Had her going well last year, then she almost cut her hoof off. Planned to get back on her this spring, then she got sick, followed that up with trying to poke her eye out, and just yesterday she got in the fence and hurt her back legs. So at this point I'm thinking career broodmare....Ugh, so frustrating! |

Mine is coming along pretty good. I've been inconsistent with her until recently so I dont expect a whole lot. She can do all the basics though. Walks, trots, lopes, backs, starting to move off legs, etc. I play with her around the barrels individually but I will wait until winter or the first part of next year before I start patterning her. We have been trail riding some lately and she is getting pretty good at that. She is still very green and on the smaller side. So I'm hoping with a little more time she will grow and mature some. I'm having a slight issue with some swelling in one of her legs so that'll set us back some. Hopefully it will be resolved soon after some time off. |

Location: Royal J Performance Horses, AZ | Got behind on mine so they started at the trainers the end of may. Will be coming home August 1st. W.TL. Learning shoulder control, slight pivot, super soft for colt. the filly is on the lazy side. The colt is a big thinker and pretty exceptional IMO |

This is me with my 4 yr old gelding. Everytime I get going on him something happens. Abcesses, cuts, long MN winters, now a popped splint. He's broke but not as fancy as I like one and he's barely started trotting the pattern. I might have to break down and send him off to someone with an indoor this winter if he's ever going to make it to a race.  |

Location: Wherever the Army sends my husband | Getting broke and barely trotting barrels and poles. I started her last year but she got in a fight with a fence and lost. So she sat for a few months while healing and then I let her sit during winter. |
