So what do you need help with, maybe if you ask I can have her tell you or she can refer you somewhere. If you live in Indianapolis maybe she can like help you train them :lol: To get her away from the boyfriend a little! She is almost 17, get my hint here :lol: The only riding stiles I have heard of are English, Western, and Dressage. The why question was only meant to be a joke. We ourselves have 5 of our own horses and a border with a horse. |
Probably meant to say 'english', not equestiran. :wink:
I am a trainer/breeder as well. Just like any other thing you get involved with, do some research. I've been doing this for 20+ yrs, and there is still a lot to learn (like trucking I suppose!). Just remember, they require much more care/committment than other 'pets' do- so unless you can spend a resonable amount of time with them, you may need to double-check why you have them. They are truly wonderful creatures, and can be great 'therapy'/escape for a lot of people. Hubby and I have done a lot of showing/training and trail riding over the years, and the bonds made w/our critters is very strong- like some folks and their dogs/cats. Since he became a trucker though, he doesnt get to ride much, and his horse really misses him! I could 'talk' about this forever, horses are the one thing I am very passionate about, so sorry if I'm rambling!! :D :wink: |

I love horses, but I like to ride not show. I wish I could show them, but I will leave that to her she is 100% better than I :roll: |
horses
It sounds like you are gonna have your hands full with that green broke one...hope you got alot of padding when you get to the saddle breaking!

:lol: You forgot Trail Riding... :lol: That requires all the skills of above and some. :P
I truly miss riding. :cry: I will again one day... :arrow: P.S. Quarter's are warm-bloods...easy breakers. Just take your time with them, and they come under saddle nicely. Very nice breed. I had a Black Quarter/Thoroughbred cross stallion...and he was a real gentleman. I showed him for 2 years, then trained him for Cutting. |
This thread encouraged me to scan some old photos to my computer. I really need to sit down one day and add lots more. I have a box full of old photos, and some old albums. I need to put them on a CD someday. This new technology is great!
Show some photos of yer horses!! We all love pictures. Here is that Black Stallion I was talking about. His name was Wheels. Isn't he gorgeous? My fiancee in this photo is too. But...we never married. :cry: :lol: http://i97.photobucket.com/albums/l2.../72/Wheels.jpg I started showing him as a Colt. This is his first show...and he won a ribbon. :) He really LOVED showing and all the attendtion he was recieving. Remember to smile and enjoy yourself...and the Horse will too. http://i97.photobucket.com/albums/l2.../Firstshow.jpg This was the first day of saddle...see how nice he was... 8) http://i97.photobucket.com/albums/l2...irstsaddle.jpg Now compare that to my Hotblooded Polish Arabian Endurance Race Horse!!! I had to seperate him from the other horses...or he'd beat the crap out of them. Here he is giving an Appy whatfor. He was very spirited...and I left that in him. He bucked everytime I got on him...and if he didn't...I'd worry he was sick. :lol: We did the Tevis Cup race together. http://i97.photobucket.com/albums/l2...onkikinass.jpg |
