I LOVE LOVE LOVE my TB mare Jubilee! She is the most amazing horse on earth!!! Haha (OK... I am biased). :oops: She is 17 years old but acts like an 8-year old. Lol. She has tons of energy and is in great shape. She loves being ridden. She does dressage and jumping. I've had her since October and she is seriously my dream horse!! :D I'll post a pic in a little bit.

She's also drop-dead gorgeous!! :wink:

My second horse was also a tb. He was an 11, big chesnut with 2 hind socks. He was a thick 16'2hh.He was registered and had been owned a police officer. This horse was broke for pretty much anything. Anyone could get on him and we could do anything with him from trails, to showing to even vaulting or other stupid things kids do.
He was a very laid back horse tho when he wanted to he would use his size to be a jerk. If you didnt know him he would have scared you.

Great horse, a lot of fun to ride.

Although I haven't got a horse. I've ridden a few TBs before. I find the ones that are really well mannered very obedient and observent. They're so cute! In fact, I think two of the best horses I've ridden where TBs. Another thing I find really good about them is that they are suppe athletic so you can do anything with them, especially race!

I have a tb x qh, but he's mostly tb. I love him to death. Here's a picture of his head, in which you can tell he's a thoroughbred!


His head...


Body shot! Oh, that sounds weird....if you know what I mean!

He's my baby, if you can't tell by the second picture.

Before we got the two fillies we have now I was seriously looking into adopting one of the tb's off of the local track here. They are so graceful. energetic, just really special in general. I also love their eyes - I always feel like they have the same kind eyes a labrador retriever has - big, soleful eyes. But alas, I ran across the two mutts I ended up bringing home and they were just in need of so much more love...I still look though every now and then at the tb's needing rescue out at sam houston...maybe in the future they will get an older brother horse

I just bought a ottb last year a week after his last race. the crazy thing was, he wasn't crazy! i got on him the first day i saw him and trotted him around like it was no big deal. he is the smartest ottb ive ever ridden but a complete goof on the ground! that's why i love him though. i renamed him gabriel
here's a pic of him trying to drink my mountain dew. he likes any kind of soft drink. lol

Thanks Rezzi!!! Yeah, I have a soft spot for older horses. Even though she's not really OLD. Haha. I don't intend on "retiring" her anytime soon. In my a opinion, an older horse still needs to be ridden consistently. :D Jubilee is one of the loves of my life!!! :D Your girl is adorable! She seems like a sweetheart! Where are you from?

we have two ex raser tbs at the barn, Bindenwood or bw and Danny. I love Danny, BW is a chicken.

We got Ginnyfoule (sp?) 2 years ago and they are loud and redicules but when we first got them one came up by the barn by BW's stall and he feeked out. He sweet thrugh his blanket and started pasing so we took off the soaked through heveyer blanket and put on a lighter one. (it was dificult to do without being killed) We left one girl with BW and when to get rid of the Ginnyfoule. When we got back Bw had soaked that one too. We took him out and rubed him down for a bit but it still took him for EVER to calm him down. That was when i first working there. Rideing and being around horses is way diferent. I had been riding for like 7 years but had been working for like a month. It was the first problem i had to deal with and i was so scared that BW was gona break his stall, or his self, or one of us. He had reared in his stall and goten his foot in the water bucket, i was afaid he would break it. Ah the wonders of a psyco TB :shock: , but i love um... :D

I've got a 6yo tb gelding of the track. His previous owners said they's never come across an ottb with such a good nature. He's really quiet, which amazing considering he is so young. I love him to bits!!!
there are pics of him in the photo section, but i'll post some later.

my tb is possum. i love her especially because she is sweet, level headed and very eager to please. and she has talent seeping out of her ears ;)

im a big fan of tbs because they are so athletic and full of personality. i could go on and on but i wont :) ill just say i think they are one of the best breeds there is :) my next horse is definitely going to be another tb :)








one of the good things about her is that she isnt a finely built type tb. since those ^^^ pics shes put on more weight and muscle and is turning out to be a nice stocky little tb :)
