I rode/showed/competed in western events growing up and my family had Quarter Horses. My last horse was a double registered Palomino Quarter Horse out of Skipper W and Ms. Helen lines. I had some great ones growing up and my grandpa was big on the AQHA foundation animals: Easy Jet, Wimpy, Driftwood, etc. My gelding died three years ago at 26 and I haven't gotten another and right now I don't have the time or space, money aside. He was foaled the same year I was (ha! sorry, mom!) and was an awesome horse. Versatile as could be and could have gone a lot further with a more accomplished rider than what I was/am. Horses and dogs...if I could only pick two animals to have the rest of my life, those would be the two. Snakes would be a close third but those two would take the top spots. I tried hunt seat once...and that was the end of that, lol! Jodphurs and posting...never could make sense of either of those things, lol! I still have my saddle and if circumstances ever allow for it, I'll absolutely get another horse, even if it's just one to plod around the pasture on.
