Hogwarts RPG Name: Athena Fifth | I personally love the canter. It takes awhile to get used to, but its a lot like a rocking chair. It also has the sensation of flying! I don't have my own horse either...but I'm working on my mom for this one! He's absolutely adorable! |

(because of framing, collection, lateral work, etc.) But I like my horses collected trot. It's something we worked on for a long time so all I have to do is slow my post and then sit, and he gets really light in my hands, and oh, I'm going to shut up now.  |

Hogwarts RPG Name: Melissa Second | I've got 7 horses. Two Thoroughbreds, One welsh pony, one Wel-Arab pony, and Three Thoroughbred/Hanoverian crosses.
My horse, Nasdaq, is a 16.3 hand Thoroughbred/Hannoverian chestnut. He has a disease called EPSM, which effect his muscles, so he has to be ridden almost every day.
I loooove riding him because he is soo dependable, and actually kinda lazy. His favorite gait is halt!
I'm also working on our three year-old Thouroughbred/Hanoverian (Nazzy's half-sister). Her gaits are so smooth, that even when she's spooking and trying to buck me off, riding her is fun!
Who else has nifty horsies? |

Hogwarts RPG Name: Schuyler Anderson Fifth | Wow. That's quite a lot of horses, there.
My parents can barely afford my horse, and that's with me working off part of his board.
I need a job.
lol, I love my horse. He's so funny. My dressage instructor was saying that sometimes having a horse like him is a good thing, and sometimes it can just be obnoxious.  |

Hogwarts RPG Name: Dezaraie Benz (Dez) First | The "let's ride" games are like video games Quite a wered way to control your horse though... I like them because you can learn the patterns for compititions.
I have "silver buckle stables"
By the way do you guys ride English or Western? |

I've been doing hunters because we thought it might teach him that he can jump quietly, but that didn't really work. He gets too excited. I'm switching to eventing or jumpers and I do dressage.
I've never played those games, but I have played an eventing game and the saddle club one.
haha, I have no life.

The bigest horse was freaking out over a llama | My horse is 17 hh, and he freaks out over ponies. I'm not even being hyperbolic, I swear he rears up and jumps in the air and throws some pretty big bucks. He's quite talented.  |

I once boarded at a barn with goats, and my horse would look at them like they were the most fascinating and scary creatures on earth. |

The owner of the barn where I board at is driving me insane. I never even wanted to go there. I try SO hard to be calm around her, but if she doesn't stop talking crap about my horse (who's the biggest sweety in the world- she's not the one riding him when he's crazy) I might punch her in the face....probably not, but she's lucky I have self control.
But, that's not a happy subject. Does anyone else have boarding barn trouble?  |
