OKay, so i love horse back riding!! i have my own horse, and i take lessons, and i'm in a mounted drill team (blue Shadows, thats what its called)!!

sounds cool. i like to ride horses, but i don't take lessons and stuff...

my friends rides and she has a show almost every sunday. her house is full of ribbons that she's won.

I Have 3 Horses .. Brodie, Big Jon, And Sally .. Brodies Related To Northern Dancer On Both Side (Don't Know If You've Ever Heard Of Him But He Won The Kuntucky Derby And Other Races) .. Does Anyone Else Do Horseback Riding Or Own Horses?!?!?

thats's relly cool that they'r related. is she/he a very fast horse?

Yea Pretty Fast .. But Brodies Left Lead Isn' So Great Where As Northerns Was One Of The Best .. But I Still Love Her :D Lolz

yeah, my horsie has a problem getting on his left lead. we're tryin to work on it though.

Good Luck!! .. Brodies Sorta New So He Doesn't Trust Us Enough Yet .. But As Soon As He Does Were Gonna Make His Left Lead Better

omg! i had a horse show today with my mounted drill team. i woke up at 5, and was riding until 5 (pm). it was sooo hot! but, i got 3rd out of 14 (competing individualy), and 3rd out of 8 (with my troop, and the planned drill). not so bad. im WIPED OUT.

CONGRADULATIONS!!!!!!!!!!! .. I Have A Show Next Weekend But I Dont Think I'm Going To Get Good Because Sally Is Sick So I Have To Ride Big Jon .. But Its All Good .. Again Congradulations On Getting 3rd On Both :lol:

my mom is getting me horse back riding lessons soon, and I'm getting my uncle's horse. i have only seen a horse in person 3 times in mylife. im really nevous...is horseback riding really hard?

Its Not That Hard In The Beginning But It Does Get Harder As You Go On (Obviously) .. But It Is REALLY Fun .. I Absolutly Love horseback Riding :D

thats good, im soo excited!!! (i was the kinda kid who put "a pony" on my christmas list every year until i eventually gave up. but now im actually getting one! yay!)

i want to take lessons. i might take them later on. who knows. ive wanted to since i was little

It Was A Recommendation From My Doctor When I Was Five .. And When My Horse Therapy Was Over I Cried For Like 5 Days So My Mom Signed Me Up For Lessons .. Lolz .. I've Done Them Ever Since :P

lol! thats funny. and cute. i can just see a 5yr old crying because she couldnt ride a horse...awww, i wouldve signed my kid up to if my kid cried like that. *crys* (ps, if i sound like i have a kid, i dont, i was saying if i had a kid.)

Lolz!! I Hope You Dunt Have A Kid .. My Friend Is Having A Kid In 3 Months :wacko:

thanx EFDS. HBR isn't that hard, i don't think, but there are a lot of variables. like how our horse is, how tall you are, if you ride westrn or english. i think it also is somewhat a skill that you posses naturally. some people look like they were born in a saddle, some just look like they're nervous. just try to have fun! (my teachr says i'm a natural. heehee). but even w/ talent there's a lot of work involved! your goin to have fun!

by te way...do you guys ride western or english?

ENGLISH!!! Sorry If You Do Western But I Hate It .. I Remember I Went On A Trail Ride And All They Had Was Western Horses And Saddles And The Horse Wouldn't Stop Eating (This Was Back When I Just Started) But he Wouldn't Stop Eating And The Horn Kept Going Into My Stomach And The Nest Day I Had A Bruise

ill probably do it english.

sometimes i ride english, but usually western. i dunno, but all the rental horses i'v rode were not like that at all! and the bruise thing- were you leaning on the horn?!

Lolz .. of course not .. but the horn kept going into my stomach .. i dunno .. maybe i jus had a bad experience but i dunt like western .. sorry!

don't be sorry! it's your choice. i think westerns easier!

really?? i've only done it a few times but it seems sooo much harder then english .. i think it just depends on what you learn first

iv never ridden a western only english.
