Calling All Riders!!

I don't live with my horses; they live at my grandmother's and when I'm not there to take care of them, she will just feed them.  But I come around about every other week to help!

Have you ever gentled a mustang?

no, back when I rode horses I was way too young to undertake something like that and never was nearly experienced enough anyway

Have you ever ridden a gaited breed?

No, but I've thoguht about getting a Tennessee Walker to trail ride with.

Have you ever used a breast collar (or martingale, which ever you use in the discipline).

Breast collars and martingales are 2 different things that have 2 seperate functions. But I am sure you knew that.   :)

Yes, I use a breast collar (I ride primarily western). No, I have not and do not use a martingale.

Do you put protective boots on your horse when you ride?

^^ Yes, I did know that.

Anyway, no, I do not put boots on my pony when I ride because I don't do much riding that requires boots.  That, and I am training a Shetland pony, so I can't find any boots at Tractor Supply or Rural King that'll fit a pony her size.

Do you watch horse Tiktok compilations on Youtube sometimes?  (I do)

No, never heard of those.

Does you horse stand quietly for baths?

I haven't taken my horse a bath ever since I got it because I'm not there all of the time and she gets very anxious standing still for more than 15 minutes XD.  So no, they don't.

Have you ever raced your friends on horseback?

Yes! When my sister and I were kids, we would jump on our horses bareback and in halters, ride to one end of the field then race back to the barn. It was sooo much fun!

Did/Do you have a toy horse collection?

I do, I'm in middle school now so I don't play with them like a did.  But every once in a while I might do some photography with some of my models.

Have you ever ridden in another country?

Yes I have but they broke 😭

Have you ever jumped bareback?

Yes! I used to ride my mare bareback and bridless and jump natural obstacles I out together myself. It was so much fun!

Do you tie up your horse's tail when you ride?

No because I don't know how but I would if did know I would

Have you ever swum with your horse?

Sort of, we've gone to the lake a few times but it drops off so kinda scary for them to go deep enough to actually swim.

Have you ever trail ridden bareback?

No, the Shetland pony mare that I'm riding and training doesn't like to go trail riding on her own and she doesn't respond as well bareback than she does with a saddle.

Do you do a slip knot when tying up your horse to groom them?

Yes sometimes I do 

Have you ever won a serious competition?
