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.
