Welcome

Hello! Welcome to the new blog! I have another blog called horsing around. That is about my everyday life and how my horses and friends are involved. This blog is as the name says pure horse only horses and horse related things. So, I will answer any questions you have that includes me and my horses, you horses, and anything horse related in general, I will give advice. I am NOT an expert, I can only give you my oppinion from personal experience, and all of my reading and time being with the horses. I have been around horses from before I was even born. My mother rode horse, while she was pregnant, and I have ridden for my whole life. To give you a little more info on my back story, I grew up riding 2 wonderfully broke horses. Buttons and Candy, they made me the horse lover I am today, although I probably would have ended up loving horses anyway. I rode western up until a few days ago! I was super excited, and was actualy not as good as I hoped I would be. The posting is what got me. I was riding a horse named Snickers. The horse in front of us was Mavrick, Snickers didn't like being behind Mavrick so he would try to bite him if we got any faster than a walk. The problem was, that he was so sensitive in the mouth that whenever I tried to slow him down, he would stop instead, and I would go forward and end up grabbing his mane/neck. I still love him though, We dont have a lesson with Mav next week, or at least not if the boy who is coming rides him, so I hope Snickers wont have anybody in front of him. So back to riding western, I have a lovely gelding named Chuck, who is going on 10 this year, we met a few years ago when we moved to a farm, and got horses. I have a bond with him that I have never had with any other horse. He can be a HUGE pain in the butt sometimes, but its amazing that feeling I get when were having a good day. I also have a yearling (but not for much longer) Stud named Jet. He turns 2 in April, as many people use 2-2.5 as a good time to start riding, I have done that too. I wont start riding him until about May. We have 4 other horses and a donkey. Our other horses are Jack, Pearl, Duchas, Wildfire, Navajo (who is actually boarding with us for a while) and our donkey's name is Lucky. So comment, ask questions, tell me about you and your horses, and have fun.
