    Hi everyone!

    I am new to myfitnesspal - and I was so excited to see this message board! I work for a seed company, I have 2 paint horses that I show in trail, western riding, and halter. I am also a manager of a competitive trail riding group.

    I have a LOT of weight to loose, so I'm glad I found other horse people to help me on my journey!

    I don't compete, though I may get brave enough to do so this year :) I have a five year old mare that I ride about 4-5 times a week, mostly dressage.

    I just started riding about a year ago at a local stables. I do not own my own horse but use one of the horses that is used for lessons. I just love it.:happy: I ride every Wednesday night and during the summer will be going on a horsebacking vacation which I'm really looking forward to.

    I'm definitely a horse lover - took lessons and had a horse as a teenager, but gave it up when life got busy, then took riding lessons a few years ago as an adult. Loved it, but after a bad fall (and serious lack of trust/confidence in the instructor) I quit. Now I'm working on writing a series of young adult novels set in the wonderful world of horse shows :-) At some point, if I move closer to a more reputable stable/instructor, I might try it again - really enjoy dressage. Another goal is to adopt a rescue horse. So feel free to add me - would love to have a group of horsey friends to ask questions for my novels :flowerforyou:

    a question: lungeing (?), how do you log that? do you?

    When I lunge my horses, I don't stand in place, I am constantly moving towards their hindquarters. So I would probably calculate how long I have walked lungeing your horse depending on how fast you are going. (I think, if theres any better ideas, feel free to give them to me)
