Frankie,
Do you ride much? If you don't own your own horses and plan on riding all day you may want to take some riding lessons so your back, butt, and legs can get used to it. They should also be able to help you get used to situations were the animals may get excited.

Another thing...get to know your horse..they remember you.

Saddlesore,
should they be worried about horseshoes ...if one falls off. What are the chances of a split or cracked hoof happening?

We have a few horses here at home but we ride on nice soft ground with very little or no rocks at all.

What about weight limitations on those horses?
