How many horses do you have?
I have two of my own and one leased that is going home soon because I am not going to buy him.
What are their names and ages and breeds?
Will is a nine year old gelding, welsh cob x appy and Velvet is a five year old retired standardbred who didn't make it on the track because she refused to pace and cantered every single day they trained her.
Do you ride them/ drive them/ or are they companions?
I ride Will every day. He is my dressage horse and he and I are a good team. We mix it up and get out with trailriding too. Velvet, alas, is on and off lame and is a hot and misbehaving kind of a girl. I haven't been able to keep her in work long enough to help her to get steady. Hoping that will happen this summer.
How often do you work with them?
woops. I answered that above.
What do you love to do with them?
I really love everything with them. I love a great canter out in the back fields. Love riding a great dressage test in the ring. I love grooming and hanging out and scooping stalls. Maybe my favorite favorite thing is when my horse and I have a connection, which is more than me just holding the reins and communicating with their mouth but the elastic connection that holds all of their energy in my hands. It is so alive and warm and I live for that every ride...
