Ok, well CB x TB Razz

So, this is my first contact with the breed, and wanted to know any particulars that may help our relationship Laughing

I will be taking my newbie jumping, XC and dressage, which should be fine - I have read CB's are quite the allrounders??

Anyway...just thought I would say hello..... Very Happy

Hey there!

Welcome to the world of CBs! Smile

have a look at the CB forum - www.clevelandbays.forumotion.com too Smile

They are lovely horses, great temperaments, very trainable, easy to get along with, they are VERY quick to learn though - so they can learn the wrong thing as easily as the right thing - so if you have one with a bad habit, you need to just retrain them onto the right thing to do! Smile

But once they get that into their heads, they have it for life I have found! Smile

Our CB numbers are growing here at our place, and I wouldnt have it any other way! Smile

Definitely looking forward to pics! Smile

Just use the Img link from photobucket to post photos in here! Smile

Cheers......... Shell

Can you explain how to use photobucket or is there another way to get them off my PC onto here?

Hi there,

Okies, go to www.photobucket.com and sign up for a free account.

When you have done that, log in, and then click on the My Album section I think it is, up the top....

There will be a little window in the middle almost saying 'select photo' or 'choose photo'.

Click on that, find the file in your computer files that you want to upload, and then hit Ok, and Upload.

Once its uploaded, it will appear below and have 4 links underneath it.

You want the BOTTOM link - the Img link.

Just copy that and paste it into your message on here Smile

Hopefully that works for you, or as Talkingshell said, email it to her, or to myself - shell@cmsporthorses.com - and one of us will get it up there for you Smile

If you email it to Talkingshell - take off the ...I at the end of her email link! They are not meant to be there.

OH, and as for what CBs are good at - ours chase cows, sheep, go jumping, do dressage, hack, in hand showing, harness, as well as breeding. Great all rounders.... Just dont ask Ceilidh (Talkingshells boys mum) to go near Emus..... apparently Emus are giant horse eating chickens...... you ask her, she will tell you!!!

But having said that, she doesnt 'shy' at them, just put the brakes on, and her eyes bug out of her head and she wont move til the bloomin thing is GONE.... far away..... lol

She is a bit on the light side for what I am used to, but hopefully she will be back to being herself before you know it!
Here she is having her first explore of the yard Smile

I love her lovely soft eyes, she is just such a sweetheart Very Happy

Well done - you got the pics figured out Smile

She looks like she is a sweetie! Smile

The Clevelands just have something about their big soft eyes and soft expression dont they? They suck you right in! lol

Yes, I am good at following instructions Very Happy

We had a bit of a ride yesterday, and she is coming round well. Taking her to our local clubgrounds on Friday to ride her on the sand arena (I only have a roundyard & mud Rolling Eyes

) so that should be fun! Can't wait to have a "proper" ride to see how she feels now her teeth & feet are sorted Smile

Oooh..should check the mail to see if her paperwork is here!!
