    This is my current ride. 5 year old arabian gelding Mansour. This is this summer, being washed after a sweaty training session. :)

    And this is my forever love. The mare that made me fall in love with the arabian breed. I rode her for 9 years. This photo was taken when she was about 14 years old, she'll be 19 next year. Unfortunately she was sold just before I moved to a new house, but I'm in contact with her new owner and she's living a dream. She's one pampered little pony! She'll be expecting a foal late spring next year.
    It's my dream to one day own one of her daughters, so I hope she will be giving birth to one in the next few years. That way I will always have a little part of my beautiful Emily Pladykta with me. <3

    Beautiful photo. I'm also a lover of the Arabian horse. They are a very clever and versatile breed. Endurance sounds like a lot of fun!

    This is my 9 year old cremello stallion who is my all around horse showing showmanship, western pleasure, horsemanship, English pleasure/equitation and trail ride and we love going on trail rides and seeing nature.

    @showjumper thanks. They are the biggest goofballs. One is totally lame, but doesn't seem to care and the other one is socially awkward and is lucky that his brother tolerates him. Love them so much <3

    Hi, I have no clue how to upload pics to the post! But I've got 3 boys, a 21 year old saddler gelding, a 11 year old Nooitgedaght stallion and a 9 year old Nooitgedaght gelding. I've had the two Nooitgedaght boys since birth as I've had their mom. The saddler boy is retired and I've had him since he was 2 years old. I'm just a happy hacker.

    Hi, yes the Nooitgedaght is one of 4 South African breeds. They are well adjusted to our SA climate and tough terrain, very hardy, extremely versatile and are selected for temperament. They are really awesome horses to work with and has a inbred affinity towards people.

    @Kidostud I had to google what the Nooitgedaght breed was too. Do you run endurance events with your horses or what activities do you do?

    @OMGeeeHorses your pony is cute, what breeding is it?

    @crimsongrey your horses are so energetic, typical geldings who like to play all day long.

    Havi, 7yo OTTB. My dressage pony. It's taken me a year to get his trust and cooperation under saddle. Last few lessons have finally been missing the NO! I don't wanna! attitude. He's still a pain to groom. Literally jumped into the air last night to get away from me trying to remove the mud from his coat.

    PJ, 17yo Painted Saddle Horse. He has a very nice true jog and some kind of lateral intermediate gait (running walk maybe?). I'm working Western Dressage stuff with him. He has surprised everyone (my trainer especially) with how quickly he has picked up the lateral moves. He's bombproof and highly interactive so a favorite with beginner adults.

    Primer, 20yo Paint (solid colored). He decided he didn't want to be a lesson horse anymore so was gifted to me by barn management. He's quiet and sweet. He's decided he likes little kids so we use him for lead line lessons and a few quiet older beginners. He's not fond of beginner adults. I think they lack the confidence he needs in his rider.
