| Great! Welcome! I'm in The Woodlands, so if you plan on showing we'll probably be doing some together! | |

| That is so cool! Are there any clubs closer to where you are? I am wanting to learn the works of halter showing for Arabs and start from there. I just know QH/Paint halter protocol at the moment sadly. If not I can try begging my farrier who trained a stallion who went to the Egyptian Event a year ago for some pointers... Ahahaha. Would be neat to meet you at a show or something! | |

| Where on the Gulf Coast are you? You're more then welcome to come take a ride up and see what I'm doing with my gelding, or I could take a ride down and show you what I've been taught if we're not crazy far away! | |

| Well, I'd be happy to take a ride down and show you what I've been taught. I was taught by another Ammy, and it's worked so far! We're going to Scottsdale to compete in gelding halter! | |

| It definitely is something I need to look into having done!
I'll have to check up on his condition when he arrives - he gets afull day of rest before coming home if not two to recover from the longer leg of the trip. I know he has a baby belly that a very short 2 minutes on the line each way always is able to fix. He's just been sitting pretty so has to learn it all aside from leading and tying! | |

| Take your time! I just got my boy in May, just had him gelded (last week), and am starting to show him in November. You may also want to just take a ride up to some shows to see what's out there and learn a little about how Arabian shows work! | |

| Will do! I will start small with just a basic open show or two then move on to some breed shows most likely. It's how I worked my way up to San Antonio with an APHA colt! It was and still is a good tactic to attend clinics and watch at shows for sure. | |

| Thanks! This is such a friendly community. Just what I needed to join whenever I have specific questions if my farrier isn't handy (he has trained professional halter with Arabs). | |

| Depending on how long ago he trained, halter has changed. The basic stance is the same, but how the presentation is done has changed. | |

| He trained Aga Gamaan for the Egyptian Event in 2007 (won reserve championship). I do not know if it has changed since then but he should be up to date on how things are going. | |

| Thank you so much for the warm welcome. I hope that I will as well. I am lucky to have my boy kept at a longtime breeder and owner's facility so I learn a lot from her as well. Just joined the A.R.A.B.S region 9 club. Going to my first meeting this weekend. | |

| Thank you so much. It doesn't hurt that I get to exercise a couple of her mares ( a gorgeous August Bey V and an Audacious PS)! | |

| Del (our Commander) has written out step-by-step halter training procedures under the halter training section of the Ammy Army forum.
I would suggest you copy and paste them into a word document and print and study them. If you follow them step by step, you will be showing your colt like a pro in no time! | |
