I'll shoot. Lol

I ride dressage. I used to ride jumpers.

I used to own a Thoroughbred. I currently ride an Oldenburg, and two other Warmbloods whose breeds I can't remember. Lol

Favorite food, peppermints maybe? Lol

No barn drama. I ride at my trainers private property where the only horses there are hers.

Cutest thing I've done would be making him wear whatever I felt he should wear. (scarves, gloves on his ears, etc)

For best achievement, I don't really know I guess. I only showed a handful of times each year and we always placed or won. If taking our partnership from novice 2'6ft heights to 4'6 -5ft heights through out our time together counts, then I'd guess that would have been our greatest achievement.

-I ride English and Western, western currently.
-Own a Thoroughbred.
-Uhmmm, probably a beet pulp feed mash, where i make a bran mash but sub half the bran for some of his feed ration, chop up some carrot and apple and bananas and call it a treat. But just generally, probably carrots.
-No barn drama as of yet, other than my old Barn owner and her dramatacies. I don't deal wiv that anymore though :)
- Probably when we went for an inhand walk and i had braided his mane and tail, and i looped his lead over his withers and he followed me without it. Or putting mittens on his ears.
- Best achievement? To date, uhh, probably his ground manners. Or our first bareback ride, i feel like that will always be my favorite memory of ours.

I ride western
I have two horses one 26 year QH and one 4 year paint
My QH loves skittles and grain and my paint loves beet pulp
No barn drama....just me and my 2 horses at private barn
Cutest thing I've done is ??? don't know
My best achievement is bringing my 4 year old up from getting him at 8 months old. We have now logged 50 hours of trails this summer and he is a perfect trail horse.

-I ride western (just general all purpose little bit of this and that lol) and english (in english I do dressage)
-I own a QH mare and a paint/mustang/possible draft mix
-My mare loves carrots and apples and my gelding loves sugar cubes (any food for that matter!)
Barn drama? Meh, we've had our spurts at our new place, nothing major that's lasted too long though
-When my mare's lying down for her nap I go out with a book and cuddle up with her, bless her she's always just went right to sleep and sometimes puts her head in my lap. With my gelding, when I teach him a trick I hear it's pretty adorable lol other than that it's when we go to put a halter or bridle on him, he puts his head down and puts it on himself
-With my mare I think it's when I took her to an open show and someone had the audacity to say that she was worth nothing because she wasn't registered, every class we had that day we beat the registered horses even in the hunt seat divisions which we'd only ridden in once or twice before. It was pretty amazing to have done so and make a statement that unregistered horses are as good as 'pedigreed' ones; other than that having a horse who I can throw a leadrope and halter on and ride off is a fantastic thing to have! I trust her with my life! With my gelding, getting him back into riding and into a discipline that he's always loved (yes I'm one of those people that do the discipline my horse wants to do! :lol:) But I'm constantly finding things to be proud of! lol
 
#8 ·
What discipline....anything I feel like HAHA. Mostly ranch work and roping.

I have qhs paints and TBS mostly

My main gelding likes anything but carrots. my main mare likes Dr. Pepper and beer


Barn drama? Noooooo avoid it like the plague

Cutest thing? Uh slept with my old Arab when he was sick I guess

Best achievement??? Idk. I've won a lot but those aren't achievements to me so I guess it would be first time training a colt by myself a loooong time ago

I ride Western.

Currently have 3 Quarter Horses.

Favorite Foods: Reno loves Cheetos, Moxi will eat Twizzlers by the ton, and Dually
loves watermelon- but only the red part, never the rind.

No barn drama- I have my horses at my own house. Its nice and peaceful. Only thing I have to argue with is the goat.

Cutest thing? I have no idea. Probably when I dressed Dually up as a redneck for the Fall Festival Parade. I had a pair of overalls that I cut to fit over his front legs and chest, an old straw hat on his head with his ears through it, a flannel shirt on his back, and I rode him bareback and barefoot with overalls with one strap and a tank top and straw hat with straw in my mouth and a wooden fishin pole. It was a huge hit haha

Best achievement would be winnin my buckle in the barrel racin buckle series in June. Lots of hard work, but its a nice buckle.

What type of riding do you do? English, Western, Dressage, Eventing, etc: Mostly barrel racing. I just started to dabble in English and jumping

What breed of horse do you own/lease/ride: I own a 10 year old paint mare named Kali

What is your horse's favorite food: My horse is super picky. She loves apples but also likes it when I rip up grass and feed it to her. She flips out like its the best thing in the world.

Do you have any barn drama?: nope. I'm the only boarder at my place and my BO is this very nice elderly fellow.

Whats the cutest thing you've done with your horse: When I scratch her on the withers she bites her stall. I think its cute.

Whats your best achievement you and your horse have done: He haven't really won much together. I would say own biggest achievement is how much we've grow and clicked this past year.

I currently ride Western but would like to ride English also.

I have a horse and a mule right now.

Probably alfalfa pellets, carrots, and apples. :)

No barn drama, my horses stay at my house. :)

Hmm, the cutest things I've done would probably be putting hats, gloves and scarves on them. :smile:

I've never won anything on my horses but I'm proud of how they behave.

What is your horse's favorite food:
Mainly just store horse treats. She won't touch most natural things like carrots apples and raisins!

What type of riding do you do?: A little bit of hunter jumpers, a little bit of western, but mostly trail rides

What breed of horse do you own/lease/ride: I own a National Show Horse named Rosie

What is your horse's favorite food: Nectarines, oddly enough (no pits, of course)

Do you have any barn drama?: There is drama at my barn but I don't involve myself

Whats the cutest thing you've done with your horse: I didn't really do it but when I ride other horses Rosie gets jealous and won't let me pet her face o look at me

Whats your best achievement you and your horse have done: I haven't shown because of my health so I haven't gotten any awards. But I'm extremely proud that in the three months I've had her, my little show horse, who never went on trail in her fourteen years of life, can be taken bareback in a hackamore on trail and she feels totally relaxed and happy to just be out in the open

Thanks

Riding- no set style. So I am sure it isn't pretty, but we enjoy doing as we like on the trails. :)

Breed: I own a half QH, half Appy mare, we also have a BLM mustang gelding

Fav food: my mare- fruit- esp. grapes and watermelon, gelding: beer, and anything not tied down

We don't board, so any drama, we create. I do occasionally see the horses and chickens snickering at each other quietly, lol

Cutest thing with her: hmm, no idea... she is a goofball all by herself.

Best achievement? I was rather green when I got her as a safe but green almost 3 yr old; she was boarded and we worked with a trainer at the time. Then I moved her cross country 6 months later when we moved, to my own property, with no trainer. I am proud of the fact that in that time, I have not ruined her or messed her up, have actually continued her learning and taught her a few new things by myself. :)
