    Do you ride horses?

    Hi, i was just wondering if anyone out there knows how to ride a horse, and enjoys it, I ride horses and LOVE it! I ride a bay mare named Shannon-Doa, western.

    I've been riding before, and I even took a few lessons. I'm not good at it really, but I definitely enjoy it! The place I ride at has an ex barrel racer nemed Rosie who is my favorite horse in the world! She's a beautiful red roan, and she'll do anything you ask. ^-^

    Thank you Wolf_Q!

    Yes, I do ride horses. I have been riding since I was 6 years old (I am 15.5 now). I used to take English lessons, now I am into bareback and Western. I go to a horse summer camp every summer for 6 weeks- leaving on June 22nd. Lately my riding has been on and off, all because of school, once I am done with school...that's all gunna change!! HEHEHEH!!!

    Some breeds I have ridden: Tennessee Walking Horse, Arabian, Appendix Quarter Horse, Quarter Horse, Morgan, Morgan/Quarter Horse (that's Jack), Shire, Thoroughbred, Norwegian Fjord, Appoloosa, Missouri Fox Trotter, Standardbred, Trakehner, and I think that is it...lol...there could be more. And of course, I have ridden the good ol' mule.

    Here is a picture of my buddy Jack. I can't wait to see him again this summer, I miss him so much!!!!

    I did ride and I loved it, but unfortunely I had to sell my horse about 2 years ago now. And I never went back out to our friend's farm to ride. I wish I would had. But it just hurt to much not to go out there and not see my horse Babe.

    I have a great deal of respect for Horses, I must admit they scare me a little, only time i ever rode one when i was around 11, it saw another horse and reared up and neighed and scared the hell out of me, guess i just wasnt destined to be a cowgirl.
    They are indeed a beautiful animal, always wanted one when i grew up on the farm but dad would not let me have one, said they eat too much, yep he denied his little girl a pony. sigh

    I'm a cowgirl wannabe! When I was younger I used to ride all the time but it got pretty expensive. Two years ago I was on horseback for the first time in 20 years. Get this....cattle drive.....6 days on horseback. Can anyone say ouch??? It was really hard work but by far the best vacation I've ever had.
    Life should NOT be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in an attractive and well preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways, champagne in one hand and strawberries in the other, body thoroughly used up, totally worn out, and screaming WOO HOO - What a Ride!

    Yes I ride - I have a 14.2hh black half anglo-arab called Ross.

    I used to jump and show him when I first got him 8 years ago but now all we really do now is hack and enjoy ourselves.
    Happy to help
