Yeah, I’d never expect to win. But, the thought of getting to spend so long in the saddle *sighs* even as my town girl muscles scream at the thought I get so happy just thinking about it. And don’t worry about the jargon, you have no idea how wonderful it is to not be the one throwing those words out.

Your mare is pretty, I like her.

Wow, Texas. Does everyone ride western down there, or is it evenly spit between English and Western? I’ve always wondered, cause where I live no one rides English at all.

Sorry about the snippet, I really don’t have the time. And, I most likely have less experience than you anyway.

You have no idea how my heart jumped when you said Icelandics. I love those little fluffy beasts. I was so thrilled when I got to ride one for the first time. Gaited horses are awesome. As I can get my own horse every gaited horse I ride is a great thrill. So far I’ve tolted, foxtrotted, and ridden a running walk.

And now my bit on Quarter horses, cause it seems to be the thing.

I do like quarter horses, and I see soooooo many here. I do like them, I kind of have to because as I don’t have my own horse I have to ride someone else’s and they all have quarter horses. But, that being said I tend to prefer warmblood/thoroughbred type horses, not really sure why. But, to quote the great Irene “…” actually I don’t know what she said. It was something about ponies and preferences *wanders off in the corner to attempt to remember*

Also I love draft horses and driving. The woman who lets me ride her horses has a team of Norwegian Fjords. Their names are Karl and Johannes, but we just call the second Joey.
