Calling All Riders!!

My uncle used to ride this big dapple gray mustang mare to barrel race and things with, but personally, no.

Have you ever asked for the canter transition and get the "crazy, fast trot" instead?

yes
have you ever done barrel racing? (for fun or in a competition)

yes!
have you every jumped over 3'0" at a show?

I've never jumped before, but I really want to try!

Have you ever used a 5-Star Western saddlepad?

no
have you ever done liberty work with your horse?

No,
have you ever attended a world/national level show (exhibitor or just spectator)?

Yes, I went to the Kentucky Horse Park once and Rolex was going on so I watched some cross country (which was the event that day), I also watched a girl pop over a jump a couple times in a separate arena, and a vaulting team was practicing in another arena and I watched them from a distance.  It was pretty cool actually.

Have you ever taught your horse a cool trick from the ground?  (How to lay down, count, shake head no/yes, etc)

No :( but it's something I'd love to do!

Have you ever owned more than 10 saddle pads/blankets? 

nope, too broke to own any more then i absolutely need, lol


Have you ever rode a gaited horse?

Yes! I owned a Tennessee walker horse! It was very fun, but he wasn't always the nicest, so I didn't ride him most of the time :(

Have you ever rode a draft horse?

yep! I own a big Clydesdale cross mare, and also rode a Belgian cross gelding for a while when i was taking lessons. My Clyde is definitely more fun to ride movement wise, she's got that really lofty Clydesdale way of moving, but in the Belgian's defense he was older, and had some mild artheritis that effected his movement.


Have you ever swam with a horse?

No, any body of water where I live has really soft banks and ground so I'm afraid of them getting their hooves stuck in the mud/clay or slipping down there.

Has anyone else cried in a lesson?  (I did in two or three lessons when I was younger; once my horse took off, dumped me, then took off again with the reins tangled around her legs.  The other times---I was about 8 or 9 years old when this happened---my trainer was yelling at me while the entire barn watched . . . soooo, yeahhhh . . .)

No, but I definitely cried after!  I always have my game face on when riding..when I get off, not so much!  Lol

Have you ever raced a friend on your horses?

Oh yah, I used to race with friends often! I usually won, since my horse was 3/4 Arab, 1/4 QH and all spunk. It also helped she couldn't stand other horses passing her and would quickly find a second burst of speed if they started too, lol. xD


Have you ever done a camping trip with your horses?

Yes, over at least 100 times!  When I'm not riding at home, I'm camping with horses and sometimes without horses lol.

Have you ever ridden a stallion?
