    Ahh...I just sold my horses this past Spring. Bummer! I competed in English, Western and Saddleseat for 20+ years though. :smile: I even did driving for awhile. I was on the Equestrian team in college and that was about it. Life got in the way after that! I'll probably own a horse again when I have kids. I do miss riding sometimes! :(

    Great idea!

    I'm Heather, 28, from Minnesota. I own a Mustang cross mare who is approximately 15 years old. I just ride for leisure, but am also a NARHA certified therapeutic horseback riding instructor.

    I didn't know there were so many horsey folk on here! I don't have a horse sadly, but love to ride whenever I get the chance to. The horse in my avatar is my friend's Anadalusian gelding, Diego.

    Hi--
    I own a hunking big German Hanoverian mare. She's a dressage queen--I just try to keep up with her, Sitting her trot is a major abs workout.

    I had a horse last year I had to sale do to my job lost, it was heart breaking, but I am living with my aunt who just bought five horses, and I am helping her ride, and show. I am looking to do gymkhana, and become a therapeutic instructor. I am working towards a degree in special education w/ autism. I am looking to a long term goal of combine horses with children with autism.

    me, me, me! I travel on the road wih my job and my horse! She needs some frequent trailer miles. ;) Lily is an APHA black and white tovero mare. She is going to be bred in may 2011 for a 2012 foal by a chocolate palomino stallion in va. I cant wait to see what she has! Im also super excited to see jsecrets mare Aura and what she produces with her stallion. Foals are so much hard work and fun. here is a pic of my beautiful girl she is on my ticker. We mostly trail ride but id love to start showing her someday but for now she does a great job as just being my best friend!

    Hi! I own two an ApHA Mare ( a breeding stock - solid color) and a AQHA gelding (own grandson of Highbrow Cat - for you cow horse folks) I used to show, but now I just harrass the cattle :-)

    My family owns, just 1 horse. He's plenty for all of us. He is a 10 year old Sorrel Gelding Quarter Horse. His name is Desperado, but we call him Despi :) He is 15.3 hands, and has one of the sweetest personalities. He loves kids and takes care of us :) We live in South Dakota by the way :P

    He is a pleasure horse. He's only got one speed! Slow :P

    Awesome! It's the greatest feeling in the world to work with kids and horses. Unfortunately, mine is on a volunteer basis but I hope someday that it can become my career. Do you work with a therapeutic riding center now?

    Hi there, I have two horses, a Belgian TB cross and a grade QH mare. I do dressage with both of them. I have been riding since I was 11 (I am 41 now, when did that happen??). My mom has draft horses, in fact, my favorite of hers is my avatar. We do sleigh rides in the winter time with them. Since it is winter here, I am not riding much, but a friend owns a stable with an indoor, and I go over there on Wednesday nights and ride with her on one of her school horses, a zippy little arab who reminds me of the horse I had as a teen (also a zippy little arab). He has been trained in basic dressage and he is a blast to ride. Love the face of the little bay cob. So cute! Oh, and I live in VT.
