Do you ride? Tell us! English or Western?
Do you have a horse? Name? Breed? Color? Age?

I love to ride both English and Western!!! I don't have a horse yet but might get one when I move!

Sadly I live in the city so I can't have a horse.... :'(

I Have a horse and ride

i ride :) i like western, i have a horse who's name is bear (the one in my profile picture) he is haflinger cross appaloosa with a little bit of quarter horse i think. He is a palimino appaloosa with a snow capped rump and he is eleven turning twelve this year (~._.)~

For anyone looking to buy a horse or just wants to look at horses for sale, there is a website called Dreamhorse where you can search for your dream horse and look at horses for sale. It's really cool!

I don't have a horse...but I love riding western.

I have a Kiger Mustang and ride western, trail riding mostly. He was born in captivity, so no brand on his neck. He's the horse in my picture.

I have dabbled in quite a few disciplines, but am currently learning Western Dressage...it's so fun! I have two horses - Cheli & Stella. Cheli is a 10 yr old Thoroughbred/Paint/Friesian cross gelding and Stella is a 10yr old bay tobiano Paint mare. They are my babies... I have some pics of my babies on my Facebook page...

I had a horse that was a palanno and she was a Belgium I think her name was dolly but she had died she before she passed we had got a thoroughbred which then he was a bad horse always trying to kick me. He was drugged when we got him so he had to go to be retrained and when he came back dolly was done dolly was all alone and would not eat when finster baby had left she thought that he was done forever. So when he came home he was all alone.so finster baby is 7 or 8 I don't know and he is a bay

O and I ride English

I now have a Tennessee Walker gelding named Copper that is my first Walker. Now that I have fallen in love with their amazing, smooth gait, I will show this summer on a Walker for the first time. :D I ride English.

I kinda have 5 horses but I ride English+western but mostly English. I don't think ill ever get another horse other then these that I don't fully own

I ride both english & western , I also have two horses , one is a thoroughbred/percheron mix (cysco) , and the other is a paint (diablo) :)

Hey do any of you have Instagram ?

I do :) , I think I have a picture or two of my horses :)

I ride English and jump! I am trying to buy my horse right now!

Take a look at my photos of my horses

I have too many horses, 15!! Horses are cheap to keep here in Australia (particularly if you own land) Most of mine are pure Arabs, a couple are Anglo Arabs, a couple are Waler/Arab crosses, Walers are Australian stockhorses of the old colonial lines. (They are best known for their astonishing performance as remounts in the first world war.) And a rescue pony, breeding unknown-looks Australian pony type. He was rescued from the doggers yard(pet meat)Poor little fella has post traumatic stress. bad. He came here to be broken in a year ago! I'm still working on him! But bit by bit, step by step he is coming back to what he should have been in the first place. (I've started to write about him on my blog-if you want to know how it could possibly take a year to break a pony in.) He is a pretty light coloured palomino,(not as pretty as Emma's pally appaloosa sounds)
Other than Pally, I don't ride as much now as I should.
My riding style could be called English....in a fashion. : )

I grew up riding Western but I haven't been on a horse in 11 years. My Quarter Horse Palomino mare, China, passed away a year ago at age 28. We had been together 25 years, since I was 12 and she was 3, and I just haven't had the heart to ride another horse since I retired her at age 18. My husband and my oldest daughter both have a horse and ride. Maybe someday I will get back into it.

People add me on Instagram me_and_my_horse100

I have been riding western since I was 4 years old! I have a black Morgan quarter horse cross named sissy who just turned 21, a black Tennessee Walker named Lily, a buckskin quarter horse gelding named Rosco, a red dun appaloosa named Rebel, and 3 miniature horses: Angel 24, Cayenne 27, and Spicy 31.

That's cool

I rode for many years but sadly, financial constraints have prevented that from happening anymore. When I did rider, I rode both Western and English and did some show jumping as well.

I take hunt seat equitation lessons because 1) it's more fun than yoga and 2) horses! It's also the most economical way for me to "do" horses. I take a weekly riding lesson. My current lesson barn breeds Welsh Mountain ponies, so I ride a grey pony named Silver. I have ridden, at previous barns, appaloosas, OTTBs, and draft crosses.

I used to showjump on Thoroughbred horses which I trained myself. I have also done some dressage and cross country.
I live in Ireland.
Sadly no horses at present; having a mortgage does that to you. I ride occasionally and love going up to horses and talking to them.

I rode in England and Australia - bit long in the tooth for it now. I used a photo of my horse for the cover of my book, Winston - A Horse's Tale.

I should think we are never too old to ride, Rita; it just depends on the horse and the level of activity. Or if we can't easily ride, maybe we could drive a trap. Or sit in a trap and enjoy being driven.
Here's a lovely recent book by a mature lady who adopted an older horse just so she could take care of him and lead him.
The Elements of Horse Spirit: The Magical Bond Between Humans and Horses

I haven't ridden in about 8 years, but I've been checking out stables in the area to see what's available. I used to show groom, teach lessons, and ride at two hunter/jumper barns when I was younger. I miss them. Some day I would like to have a horse (or two or three...), but for now being around them again would do wonders for my soul.

"There's something about the outside of a horse that is good for the inside of a man." (or woman of course).

I spotted the skewbald in our new masthead photo grazing locally over summer, and went up and made friends before taking the photo. Like you, I miss being around horses. I read horse books to compensate.

Author Tudor Robins writes a great blog article about college students who ride in Ontario, and explains catch riding by interviewing a lady who has enjoyed this experience.
"Emma Hamilton, a VP of the OCEA and the Co-Captain of the McMaster University Equestrian team. Emma is in her fourth year of Integrated Business and Humanities."
Plenty I didn't know and great photos.

Thank you for sharing Clare!

Thank you for writing great horse books!

Hello!

I own two horses. Jazz, a 28 year old thoroughbred gelding(nickname is 鈥淥ld Man鈥� lol) and Montana an 18 year old quarter horse mare. I ride both English and western but hope to get really get into jumping this coming year by taking lessons at a local barn. 馃槉

Hi
I have a pony
His name is Puppy
He is 27 years old
He is 12.2hh

Hi Janelle, pleased to meet you!

I take it Jazz is in gentle work if not completely retired, so you would be riding more on Montana. I could be wrong, but you are doing really well to keep him to that age.

I tried some Western riding on a visit to Arizona and while I was okay to ride one-handed, as soon as anything happened, my left hand immediately grabbed its rein; muscle memory. Do you find switching over styles is easy or hard?

Daisy, I don't know much about the Australian riding pony, do you know how long the breed has been established, or is it a type? Ponies are often much hardier than horses so live longer and work happily for longer. They can be wonderful characters too.

Here is a really old book about an Australian pony:
Ride a Wild Pony

I ride and have my own loan horse I got him after my old pony passed away my new horse we are hoping to buy him soon he鈥檚 a dark bay. I am focussing on dressage ever have jumped 1 metre 20 before I have never risen western but I would love too

Hi Eloise, nice to have you with us.
My two mares were dark bay, I can just picture you trotting down the centre line. Don't lose touch with the jumping, so once you are settled in with your new purchase you have more options.

Clare,

You are right on my two horses. Jazz seems to be enjoying his retirement quite well and Montana is my go to horse for riding. :)

I find it easy to switch back and forth between western and English, but I do seem to prefer English as it feels more 鈥減ut together.鈥� I like to feel my horse and I get that much more riding English than western.

Yes, the Western tack is not designed to give the same close contact feel. I imagine if you are using the two styles often enough your body will just switch over automatically.
I've written one book about a girl from Ireland learning to ride Western; she gets to do it for an entire summer.

Here are two non-fiction horsey books I read recently:
The Elements of Horse Spirit: The Magical Bond Between Humans and Horses

Horse Crazy: The Story of a Woman and a World in Love with an Animal

Both excellent reading.

Author Rachel Branton

tells me her family has adopted a minihorse. Her young daughter Lisbon is caring for him.

"Thinking it would be a good start for Lisbon, we agreed to adopt a miniature horse whose elderly owners have neglected him. For several months they have been fighting eviction, and we didn't know if we'd actually get him. Some neighbors said they had wanted to call the authorities about Jack, but we don't know much about what went on before we arrived, so I can't weigh in. The horse did desperately need a bath and brushing, but we've done that now.

He's such a cutie, and he's getting all the care he needs. You can't tell from the picture, but he is a little chubby from overfeeding on grain. We have to figure out how to fix that, and he desperately needs his hooves trimmed, but we're combing and playing with him every day. He loves us so much he'll come when we go out there. When one of my neighbors comes, he runs away. Apparently, she's been examining his sores and worrying about him, and he remembers. But he's pretty much all healed up now."

I currently have 3 horses, down from 7 a few years back.

Our Elder horse, reg 鈥淢isty Diamond鈥� which we鈥檝e never understood as he鈥檚 a gelding, is a Missouri Fox Trotter (MFT) we call 鈥淩ed.鈥�

Then we have brother and sister 16 and 14 years old who are Clydesdale/MFT crosses. Sweet William aka Will, and Raziel. If I鈥檓 not mistaken, Will is my pic when I post.

We mostly ride using English tack if we go for longer rides, but more frequently we get on bareback with just halter and lead rope and amble around a bit.

Both my husband and I are getting older and I have some pretty significant health challenges, so we tend just to feed and enjoy seeing their beauty out our windows.

I read all sorts of books. We are in the midst of moving to a new farm, and was delighted earlier today to find the book 鈥淔ury鈥� while packing our considerable library. Picture a 28x36ft two story barn with a 16 foot gambrel roof second floor. Now picture the second floor full of bookcases with the outside walls hav ing 12 ft shelves.



Yes, that many books.

Sounds like you have this bookshop - fantastic mystery series by the way. Not that you have time for reading if you need to pack all those books!



I have Fury! That is, I have this one.
Fury and the White Mare

Carly Kade has kindly updated me with her return to horse showing.


"Earlier this month, I dusted off my tack, polished my silver, and groomed Sissy up to see what going to a horse show again would feel like. We hadn't competed in 6 years. At the show, the energy was high. Sissy was anxious, and so was I. The hustle and bustle just didn't feel good.

Although we were rusty, we still performed well, but here's the thing鈥擨 don't think either of us had much fun showing, not like we used to, especially not after spending the last few years simply enjoying our time together and exploring nature on quiet trail rides.

When I was younger, I was very competitive and went to a lot of horse shows. A friend once said something to me that really stuck.

She said, 鈥淲hat about just being a horse owner and enjoying that?鈥�

Being in the show pen again reminded me of that conversation, and reminded me that, now that Sissy and I are older, it鈥檚 the simple pleasures of horse ownership that I enjoy most鈥� long grooming sessions, the meditative rhythm of barn chores, or those lazy Sunday rides.

Last year, my goal was to ride more and worry less. This is a goal I'll be taking with me in 2022 on the trails, not the show pen. As I thought about what is important this year, I've decided that if something doesn't feel good, I don't have to do it.

Of course, there are the adult responsibilities I have to do, but how I spend my free time, who I spend it with, and where I want to take my passions, darn it, if it doesn't feel good to my body, my mind, my spirit, or my horse鈥擨 don't have to force it. There is an authenticity to honoring ourselves, other people, and our animals."

Carly included lots of lovely photos of her horses and herself in the newsletter.

Thank you for sharing this excerpt, Clare! I'm glad you enjoyed my newsletter this month. Here's to loving horses and books about them.

Welcome, Carly! This is a lively group if you ever want to chat. There is a dedicated section for authors to promote their own work.

Author Carol Buhler kindly told me about her Quarter Horse Easter Son. She writes fantasy about horse-like beings. The Summer Challenge is going to be for reading fantasy books with horses, so anyone interested might look up her works.

Carol Buhler

"This is Son, with me aboard, at least 35 years ago in a parade. He'd been born to a mare I owned, sired by a stallion I owned, on Easter Sunday. So he became Easter Son. Very much a quarter horse although unregistered, he had quick movements, a sharp brain, and was somewhat of a comedian. I remember one time I was brushing him, getting ready to put on my saddle. He looked me in the eye and very deliberately shifted to step on my foot. It hurt! I didn't ride that day.

Another time I went on a trail ride in Tennessee with a group of people on walking horses. Son trotted the entire ride--and his trot was not very comfortable to ride. He didn't have to trot but he couldn't stand for another horse to get in front of him! Although I used to ride a lot, I still remember how bad I hurt after that trail ride.

Once, in Utah, I was talking to another horse owner and it was getting close to supper time (for the horses). Son pushed himself between my friend and I and gave me the look: "Stop talking and get dinner!"

Son gave Memmyon most of his personality. Over the 36 years he was alive, we tried every sort of horse sport with him--he excelled at them all. Usually, he could figure out what we wanted in a very short time. His original trainer, a reining horse trainer, told me he was the smartest horse he'd ever worked with. When we attempted to play polocrosse with him, he figured out the point was to keep the other horses from reaching the goal--so he barred his teeth, pinned his ears, extended his neck, and threatened them. No matter what their riders tried, their horses would not approach the goal. We had to leave him out of that sport.

When I tried to learn how to jump, he learned faster than me, and I usually flew over the jump when he stopped and spun away from it. But, my instructor could jump him over anything. She had the proper balance and leg support! At the age of 19, he became a Pony Club mount and went into Eventing.

My absolute favorite story about Son occurred when my eight year old daughter decided she wanted to barrel race him. I'd been barrel racing him for a couple of years--he was good. At first, he cantered gently with Jaime, doing the pattern correctly. She loved it. But when she joined 4-H, she saw that she wasn't really "racing." Her friends were beating her every time. When she decided she was willing to go faster, he did. She won everything! What horse will take care of a child and only go the speed she's willing to go when he was used to really racing? Then, when she decides, he changes completely?

I have many fun stories about this horse--36 years worth. "

Carolyn Haines is another horse-owning author.

Carolyn Haines


She tells me:

"Worries of a farm girl: feed prices are up, but hay is going to be out of sight this fall. Unlike gas, where big oil and gas are price gouging, farmers are working hard to make ends meet. Their costs have skyrocketed, and if the weather cooperates and there is hay, it is going to be expensive. When I first moved on the farm, I was paying .75 cents a bale. Now it is $7-8. And that is barely covering the farmer鈥檚 expenses. I鈥檓 not complaining. I鈥檓 re-evaluating and trying to see what I can cut from my daily expenses to save up a little this summer for the fall when I need to fill the barn for winter.

My daddy was a man ahead of his time. In the 1970s he talked to me about limited resources and waste. Yeah, at 17, I didn鈥檛 want to hear it. I wanted so many things. I鈥檝e never minded working for what I want, but I didn鈥檛 want to hear how buying things鈥攅ven with cash鈥攚as a bad vice. He believed the planet had been entrusted to us to protect and keep, not abuse and deplete. Excess, of any sort, was distasteful to him. Now, I鈥檓 older and there are not many things I want other than to take care of my friends and the animals. I think about my dad a lot these days as the shortages he predicted are now upon us. I realize I am just like Roy Haines. I hope he鈥檚 proud of me."

Hilary Walker has been updating me on her horse Cruz, which has been lame for going on two years, despite rest and great care. I'm wishing them both all the best.

Hilary Walker


"Last time I wrote, Cruz was about to get another ultrasound. It should have been a mere formality, to say he was ready to start walking in hand, rather than just hand-grazing.

The reality was very different. I was given the news that he had re-torn his original injury - the tear to his check ligament from two years ago.

So I decided to send him away for rehab and the photo you see is of Cruz in Tennessee, six hours away.

He is with the wonderful hoof lady, who is taking fantastic care of him. The paint you see in the picture is of his buddy Tripper, who went up there for help with his navicular.

Tripper is making an astounding recovery and will soon be rideable again. Not long ago his owner had been told the horse was finished.

Cruz is now going barefoot and his hooves are trimmed to balance him properly and encourage correct growth. Eventually he won't have the crushed heels that make him prone to injury, nor will he need shoes.

Which is why he will be staying in Tennessee until at least March next year. This will allow him to heal and his hooves to grow out. I will be updating you on his progress.

In the meantime, my fantastic friends are still offering me their horses to ride so I don't go into deep depression from Cruz deprivation!
...

"One positive about not going to the barn every day is that I've renewed my library card and am catching up on much-needed reading. They say to write well, you should read a lot. I'm on it!"
