Welcome Paul! and hurray for the Clydesdale My husband is on this forum as well (Rick Walker) he rides a Belgian and I ride a 17.2 hand Mustang! Hope you enjoy it here!
No!!!! not another sneaker hater lol.. Actually I wear a size 18 and they dont make riding boots in that size and my timberland boot wont fit in the stirrup, but I am ordering some supersized stirups
Thanks for all the comments everyone. I like this forum more than others.
Anna is 6.5 yrs old. She is 70 days in foal. 18.1 and currently about 1800lbs. She drives, She rides... She is a Champion Halter Mare, Reserve grand and etc. Quit the character. Ive been leasing her about 3 months now. She doesnt push me around but I hear she has given everyone else hell lol - Her owner says Im the only one she can see eye to eye with. He also said since she got bred, she has relaxed lol
Welcome to the forum Paul! Anna is a very lovely mare, now just so you know, we are all a bunch of picture freaks around here and it will be a requirement that you share lots and lots of pics when she foals!
Hi and welcome!! I love Anna, she looks like she works very well for you and you both make a great team! As others have said, we are picture people! Now you must post more pictures and tell us more about yourselves!
You two are definetely suited.It will be a challenge to get riding clothes for you, but it will give you some insight on the difficulty of easily finding tack for the "bigger" horse also. How lucky to lease a horse of this caliber & so suited to you.
I'd ride in shorts too if I could, with al of this crazy heat. Unfortunately though my saddle is black and I burn my thighs and calves when I do O_O OUCH. And don't even get me started about when I accidently touch the d-ring or conchos...
OP, welcome to the forum. I assure you though, that I've seen plenty of men just like you, riding big ole mares and geldings just like yours. In fact, one of our lesson takers is a very nice 6'2 western rider who's mount is out 17.3hh TB gelding. They're definitely nothing you want to get in the way of when cantering xD
