Well, hello there. I'm just in the mood for a horsie chat. =D We can actually just talk about whatever we want here but let's start off with a question that all of y'all can answer to the subject on a roll! [: Okay;
Do any of you own horses or ride?

OH I DO I DO!!!!! Lolz. Sorry peoples but this mite be a few paragraphs long.
Yeppers, my first horse was/is an quarab (quarterhorse/arabian) but I'm not fully sure, but anyway, she is around 26-27 years old and I bought her when she was...22ish?? But she was super skinny when i first bought her and around $450 so I paid for her myself ( and i was around 12 1/2), but I still own her to this day and we used to barrel race and ride all the time, almost everyday but now she's heading more into retirement, especially since its winter and I HATE SNOW!!! Lol, but more in spring she'll probably get ridden again if she feels up to it. (Pebbles is her name from her flee-bitten coloring, lol)
The second horse we own is a Andelusion (or at least we're 90% sure of since she's a rescue too) and she is more of my parents/dads horse. She is a very very light grey and its amazing how she never seems to get dirty. Sparkle is in her mid-teens, her real age is unknown.
Our third horse is more of my moms horse though both of my parents insist that she in mine. Shieka is a blood bay Arabian (with papers) and is a high-strung crazy horse, lol, but she can be really sweet and can try for you if she feels like it. Shieka is around 9 years old and is mostly ridden in english, and i am hoping to work wiht x-country jumping with her since she loves trails & to jump. The great thing too is that she is 15.2-15.3 hands, wow hu?
Our fourth "horse" is actually a pony, Blaze is his name and he is about 14 hands. He is a blackish pony with a wide blaze in his head (thus his name) and he was kinda...adopted from our neighbors. They said that they couldn't ride him cuz he would buck them off and be to headstrong or scared so we got him for $50!!! Wow, and i think he was a great buy...except for the time that he bucked me off out on trail and i had to go to the hospital, lolz. But he learns very quickly and is mostly willing except when he's stressed, then he wont do anything. For a while when it was fall i was training him do to barrels but the last time we did it was last year in November or so and at a walk so it mite be a while to sell him with doing barrels.
Haha, so sorry for typing so much but...hey, you asked, lolz.

^^ You don't have to apologize. You've had quite a bit of horses in your life. [: I own one right now. She's a bay Thoroughbred mare. Around the age of 21. Not for sure of her exact age. Her name is Stormy. She has a white star on her forehead. She loves to go fast. xD She also loves to jump. She doesn't spook at seriously anything. The first owner she had said that she spooked on trails and stuff, but when I ride her around my trails, she has never spooked once. =D I jump her sometimes, but nothing big. I don't go to show or anything. I used to, but now that I moved her away from the stables and all, I don't own a trailer of my own to haul her around to shows and stuff. I only own a Western saddle, but I used to ride English with Stormy alot. She was born off of the English saddle so she enjoys that alot. I also love riding English but Western is perfectly fine. |
