Any horse people out there?
I have 3 and ride mostly English, mainly jumping and English pleasure but I have played around in dressage. Also did a bit of barrels for fun. Have a Haflinger and 2 appendix QH. One's smart and the other's dumb as rocks, and the Haflinger is possessed.
If you're OTR, how did you handle leaving them at home?

My GF has thoroughbreds that she races. Horses in WI,IL,KY,VA,and NM. When she talks horses my eyes glaze over.

If Roadhog comes thru here he'll be all over you! He used to do some racing.

Racing's a mystery to me... Now pointlessly jumping over random objects in an enclosed space? That I fully understand LoL!
Too many head injuries to know any better I guess.
One of my horses has a pretty nice bloodline out of racers on one side. He's quarter horse/thoroughbred cross. The other QH/Thor I have no clue what his bloodline is. But it definitely shows in both of them.

We had horses while I was growing up. They were real horses, fend for themselves, maybe got some hay in the winter. Not like those that have to have a blanket when it's 40 degrees out and has to be in a stall every night.

Had a motorcycle also and found out if I didn't feed it for a week I could still ride it. Horse didn't get fed for a week it really didn't want you to ride it.

I have 7, mostly for trail riding but have done all kinds of things with them over the years. They are the ONLY thing keeping me from getting a CDL and teaming up with hubby, I cant seem to give them up! But who knows, I have found a potential caretaker which would allow me to go trucking, but then why have them?? Decisions,decisions.......

I bet dressed out you have at least 3500 LBS. Mix it with another 3500 LBS of grains and thats a lot of dog food. No more buying chew toys,now you have real bones for them. And you have leather for jackets,gloves,ect.
