I'm curious as to where everyone is from? I'm from the uk, north east side from a littke town called Hartlepool which is famous for hanging a monkey.

What breed of horse the own/ride? I own a thoroughbred called jack daniels who is 11yr old and an ex racer.

What style of riding? English but I can ride western.

And anything else you might want to add

I am from the Northwest GA area of the U.S. just outside of a couple of different towns - LaFayette and Chickamauga. I am owned by a Paint, a TB/QH cross and a paint/TW cross.
Up until recently I always rode western but I have acquired and english saddle that I LOVE!
I haven't ridden my horses in over 6 months because life has gotten in the way which sux.

Native Texan. Dallas Fort Worth.

I'm from WI, known for Cheese and The Packers!! I have one horse she is a paint, and we trail ride all over the midwest. We have been to IN, KY, TN, AL, IL, MN, MI, and of course WI. My goals are little ride two times a week, workout two times a week, and eat one vegetable a day. Start small.

Hi all, I'm from the south coast of the uk, my name is Nikki and I have two horses, one of those gorgeous piebald irish cobs, 15hh, very heavyweight and stocky with two blue eyes, he's 14 now and I've had him 13 years, my second is a chestnut Irish Draught x warmblood x American Paint who is 6 years old and stands 16hands approx. She's a lot more dainty than my boy, but not so well schooled yet. I ride English, have tried Western but I'm mpre comfortable with what I know. My passions are dressage, working equitation and endurance riding.

I've been on MFP since August and need to lose another 20lbs or so to be able to start riding again. Great to see more horsey people on here!

Hi all!

I'm 1 hour SE of Melbourne, Victoria, Australia.

I currently have 3 TB's -
George, 17.2hh 24yo retired eventer
Charlie, 15.3hh 26yo retired show jumper
Sparrow, 9yo 16.2hh eventer

I have my own property which means endless poopa scooping, sweeping, raking, etc. Never a dull moment (or holiday! ).

I ride Sparrow aka Spaz 5-6 days a week, and compete most weekends. Comps are few and far between in winter, so we head to a local indoor 1-2 times a week, and ride at home in my own arena the other days.

It's just coming into summer here now (30-40 degrees centigrade most of the time in summer! ), so have to ride either before work or just before dark to beat the heat.

I've been riding since I was 3, and only took a year off at 18 to quite literally run off with the circus. The horses bought me back - couldn't resist!

Having the horses means constant hard work and exercise, but I think my bodies used to it, which means I have to do more exercise to get rid of some weight. I'm 64kg, but my perfect weight is 55kg.

I'm from Western Australia (and I hear you ukunbanshee, our forecast for the next few days is consistently over 40 - that's 104 in old Fahrenheit you lot from the USA!!). We live in what is known as the Wheatbelt: 300mm annual rainfall, so it's pretty much the desert (and I used to live in Devon, UK, so moving here was a bit of a shcok!).
I own 6 horses (eek):
Angel, 20 year old cremello Connemara mare (unregistered as they don't allow double dilutes). Stubborn as a mule, wide as a barn, but UTTERLY trustworthy for packing my 10 year old daughter around.
Mojo, 10 year old Welsh B, aka Asshat one. Cheeky fast pony, well suited to my cheeky speed loving 8 year old daughter.
Joe aka Asshat two. 8 year old Palomino Arab cross gelding. Always in trouble with asshat one (see above). He and I do endurance: we did 5 50 mile rides last year and have our eyes set on a 100 miler this year (hence the weight loss and running programme!)
Prycie, 12 year old off the track Standardbred who I learned about endurance on. Now packs my novice husband around on trail rides.
Savannah, 8 year old "mutt". Arab X Welsh X Stockhorse (probably). Lady of leisure mostly, but will eventually be for one of the girls.
Faith: 5 weeks old buckskin Arabian derivative and my next endurance horse (as my younger daughter will steal Joe as soon as she is big enough!).

No Californian's?

I'm from central CA and enjoy trail riding and pack trips. Would love to get into team penning/sorting and gymkhanas.

Family combined, we own 9 horses, but personally, I have 3. All of my guys were rescues of some sort.

Bandit: PMU Percheron cross, 8 years old, gray.

Dominic: WA Rez mustang pony, 14? years, sorrel.

Bullet: Appaloosa, black leopard, 4 years old, and my main project right now. He's a little on the small side and I'm REALLY hoping he fills out more. Which that is also more motivation to loose weight. he is just SO awesome, it would really suck if I am always going to look too big on him.
