Which one did you ride in lessons?

I think I rode just about every single one.:lol:

LOL I think I've encountered every single one of these in my many years of barns and lessons. One of the horses at the summer camp I worked at falls into just about every one of those.



His name is Luther, and I believe he was some sort of draft cross. It was near impossible to get him to go faster than a trot, but he was awfully fun to go swimming with. On our breaks we'd take him and some of the other horses down to the river and use Luther's ample rump as a diving board :lol:

(Smile) ... OMG, Luther is SO pathetically cute and adorable! Look at his poor little (big) body
...What a sweetheart! I definitely ran into a few "Luther"s in my days of riding only lesson horses.

We had some truly incredible horses as well. They were all so special in their own way, as frustrating as they could be at times, because they made it their life's work (though I DOUBT they'd have CHOSEN SUCH if given ANOTHER CHOICE) to help girl after girl (& the occasional boy) learn NOT TO PULL ON THEIR MOUTHS, not to give them cues to pick up the wrong and thus most unbalanced lead, and not ever to fear anything, or that was THE PERFECT EXCUSE for them to do exactly, well, nothing we "asked for"...

A better education was never had by me than on the backs of school horses, may they ALL be PEACEFULLY retired BY NOW (was over 15 years ago when I rode my last goodhearted equine "instructor")!!

This is too funny.
Sky is such a good girl, but if I had to categorize her I would say a cross between Equus Suddenus Ravenous and Equus Randomus Stoppus. We walk by trees with her mouth hanging open trying to get that one bite, and I've almost been sent flying over her head on several occasions, but I have yet to hit the ground.

I was very lucky little boy and was taught to ride on a wonderful Percheron that was patient, tolerant and did everything right (even when I didn't). Go, stop, trot, canter, gallop, jump, whatever I asked for was given by that wonderful horse. Even though I've never owned one (not best suited for my riding requirements), I'll always have a soft spot for Percherons, because of that horse.

Cowboy - Equus Mondos girthus
Diamond - Equus Non Cooperativis
Oatsy - Equus Ploddis Alongist

And all 3 are a mix of SaddleBag's play - Equus poopis a lotis

I have been quite lucky regarding the two horses that I started to learn riding with. They all were well trained former dressage horses. One of them, a very nice 9 year old mare, could be called something like Equus Nonstoppus Canteringus though :). Now I own one Equus Aristocratus - a gelding of very gentle and noble manners, one Equus Greenus and one Equus Carefulus Insolentus - kind of pushy, but in a very controlled manner :)

I was very lucky on my lesson last night and got equus pushbuttonus, but in the past I've had equus wallus morius (wall of death horse) and my lease horse is a cross between equus saccus nervus (horse who's a bag of nerves) and equus non-sitere (horse who won't stop)

Mixed, I ride the equus trottus horrendus and the equus ploddus alongus.
