    Me, three.

    Not so much this time of year, but 2-3 times a week most of the year.

    I have three that I get paid to ride. Since I have a full-time job in an office that means I ride about 3-4 hours on Saturday and Sunday. When it's lighter longer I'll be riding 4 days a week.

    I am lucky to have a few! One owned by my barn owner, one half-owned by my coach, and one wholly owned by me (Ms. I-Have-An-Opinion, who is not broke yet).

    I try to ride the two geldings 5-6 times a week, each. Again, very lucky to be able to ride at an indoor.

    wish I had one :/ I love horses!

    my dream when I was a kid was to own a horse farm lol (I live on a farm with my family, we used to have horses when I was little, and I was in 4H through elementary school (and I think part of middle school)

    I got thrown off a horse while doing trail riding @ this horse farm (horse got spooked or something) and I have had a fear ever since then (this was back in highschool I think, so about 12 or so years ago)...I want to go horseback riding on my honeymoon (this Oct) and am considering taking lessons to get over the anxiety...because it used to be something I loved to do...

    I have two. :smile: RIght now I don't get to ride at all. One is recovering from surgery (at least I try to tell her that), but the real excuse is we've had a crummy winter and I have nowhere to ride, and my other horse isn't the most enjoyable hack mount. Add to that a bit of a time challenge (thanks to the other eight I take care of, layup board so I do everything....).....yeah, I know. Not much of an excuse. I'm working on it. :wink:

    I am a horse lover, but have never been able to ow one. We always lived in the city & my parents didnt understand loving Stable life. So i surounded myself with horses as much as i could. Started learning how to barrel race my freshman year of high school, but it didnt take long before my mom was tired of driving me 25 minutes 2x a week for practice. :0( then in high school for Ag co-op ( work release) my sophmore yr i worked at an Arabian race horse stable & loved every minute of it! I was involved in all areas, Was in the best shape of my life to boot! My dream would be to one day run a nonprofit for children with disabilities.

    I ride at least 3/4 times a week. I board at a facility with an indoor arena, so winter riding isn't an issue.

    Used to, but had to sell her when the recession hit. Some day I'd like another. I miss the chores too!

    I used to but I had to sell her for university. She was sweet though, and a pair of little girls bought her so I know she's in good hands :)

    I do as well! I have been competing in show jumping (A circut in North America Amateur/Pro divisions) for years. Unfortunately I showed a little tooooo much with my guy and ran up a hefty debt that I am now trying to pay off by leasing him out for a year. I still ride from time to time but I miss the consistency of several times a week and showing and really hope to get my act together financially in the next year or so so I can get back into it!!!

    Nope dont own any horses, but I am a photographer and my favorite thing to photograph is equine. I LOVE horse shows, the animals, the kids, the sun, the dust, the smells, the trucks etc. I can not wait until summer again here in Michigan because I know where I will be every weekend. :smile:

    We have 3 Tennessee Walking horses. We used to ride every weekend but now we are riding our motorcycles and giving the horses a break. They are well fed and are a part of the family.

    I have 4, 3 ponies for my daughter (spoilt child!) and my own that I ride. We try to ride at least 4-5 times a week, no school at home so mostly out hacking and try to get a bit of faster work in where I can. Off competing with the ponies most weekends so trying to fit time in to get back into my white jods myself (after losing a few more llbs first!)

    I don't have any right now. I used to have 4-6 at a time, plus clients horses. Used to train and give lessons and all that stuff :) Miss it terribly, but it is nice having a job that pays all the bills!!

    I LOVE horses. Growing up we had a Horse Fair next to use and I use to take lessons. I grew up hoping to one day own a horse.
    That has never happened. We now have friends who own about 4 horses and they let me come ride whenever I want.
