Post your horses..?

hey karma can i borrow some of your pics for my screensaver?

I've had and have ridden MANY horses over the years. I use to work on a horse farm and in return the owner gave me ridding lessons and then let me ride for free when I knew what I was doing. My instructor use to pull horses from auctions and do what she had to do to fix them up and I'd help her train them. As I got older I started pulling horses from auction and rehabilitating them and training them on her property. After they came around and were trained we then sold them or found them forever homes for the ones who weren't ridable.

I no longer have time to do that and I wish every day that I could be 10-20 again just so I could live that kind of life all over again.

The one and only horse that has been by my side since I was 10 and who taught me how to ride and learned how to have patients is Ribbons. She's a QH/TB. She was only 5 when I first met her and a total nut case. I remember her casing me up a few tree's and over barbwire fences, taking me on some non stop race horse running, also turning in to a bronco and dumping me quite a bit. She also nearly killed me by pinning me in her stall. She is now 18 and probably one of the best horses I've ever met, you now can put any age kid or adult on her back and she won't move a muscle unless you tell her to do so.

Awe Alison; she looks like one of "those" horses that we only find a few times in a lifetime, if we are lucky. I think that the ones that try us, are really the ones that teach us the most (if we survive them, hehe.) That last pic is just priceless IMO.. I can see a definite connection there.

Bojangles; that is an adorable jumper. Reminds me of the TB that I learned on; I never, ever did jumping but I was taught by a woman who was great at it..

Awe, those are some nice horses. I like the first breeding-stock Paint. I often think that the solids get the bum end of the stick, not bei ng as flashily-marked as tobianos, etc. I love giving one a home for this reason :) I learned a lot in my first few years as an owner. We picked Emma, our colorful mare, based on her looks. Cuesta, being a solid chestnut Paint, is a hundred times more sane, reliable and trustworthy than Emma. I will never buy a companion, pet-type horse based on coloration again :)

I love breeding stocks. Honestly you get the bloodlines, the attitude and the association (I'm a big fan of the APHA) and you pay 1/3 of the price you'd dish out for a regular registry animal. Though Chey (the first BS you liked) was a spaz. I started her right before I sold her, she was never consistant. Over a year of groundwork and you'd never know what you were getting into when climbing aboard. She's also the only horse I know of who bucked backing up.... crazy loon. But she was sweet most of the time.

Shelby, the other filly was a love. I so so so so so so so wish I could have kept her. I also had a QH mare named Gwena that I can't find any photos of, she would fall asleep on your lap if you were foolish enough to sit down around her. Loved those guys. And of course Danny... :( Moving sucks, but when we move back home in '09 I'm going to work on tracking everyone down and possibly purchasing a few back (such as Shelby and Gwena and Danny). The two appies, the contact info for their 'new' owner is no longer valid and their papers haven't been updated according to the ApHC so that's gonna be a fun search. Grand total of 16 horses and I have current contact info on five.

You know, I can fall in love with a horses color but if I don't 'click' with them I won't buy them, then there are a few horses that I really kick myself for not buying.
