So the young whippersnapper teenagers -P) get their own forum, and the mature folk over 40 get their own thread so I thought I'd make one for us 20-somethings.
So how goes the 20-somethings on this here Horse Forum?
I guess I should introduce myself as I'm a serial ninja member just reading and not posting. The name is Jess, I live in Australia and have dressage lessons once a week. I study psychology and have been riding "properly" since I was 19. One day, preferably before pension age, I hope to own my own horse. Alas, it's not the right time now.

I've ridden her Memorial Day weekend at the beach. That was fun, she did awesome. There were TONS of people. I'm suprised we found a place for th trailer to park. Kites, tents, blaring music, surf boards, dogs, Fishing poles, volleyball games, football games, skim boarders, surfers. Anything to possibly scare her was there and nothing did!
I havent had the chance to go through a drive through yet.
hmm so we are all young, and thriving, and around the age where you would, or already have gotten piercings or tattoos. anyone care to share if they have? i've gotten a Belly Button Piercing but thats it, for now im looking into tattoos to see what i like,
I have 7 tattoos. I have a nose ring and a cartilage piercing in my ear... I did have a belly button ring too, but I didn't like the placement and I NEVER show my stomach anyway so I took it out.
My 7 tattoos (in order I got them):
3" cross on my inner right ankle
3 lilies on outer right leg
sparrow on left upper arm
my cat's paw prints on my right wrist
"Not all who wander are lost" on my left foot
'K' on my left ring finger (for my husband, Kevin - he has a 'Z' for Zoe)
"Nosce te Ipsum" back of my neck ("Know Thyself")
So far they're all in black and grey. I want to turn the sparrow on my arm into a half-sleeve with some colour and add colour to the lilies on my leg.
I rode Mitch with nothing on him but a rope around his neck, I guess thats not really crazy but the feeling was awesome. He was soo in tune with what I was asking even cantered with my arms out to my sides. It was awesome.
Piercings- I have my ears and belly button
Tattoo's- I have a peice on my left hip.
Hi everybody! Can I join in?!?!? My name is Tiffany I'm 20 and have had horses all my life right now I have 2 horses a 15yr old Arab pony cross named BB who was my childhood pony I have out grown her but I can't get rid of her she means to much to me she taught me to ride so now my little sister rides her and BB is teaching her also and I have a 12yr old OTTB named Ace I'm not to fond of that name but he knows it he comes to you when you call so I just left it. I'm not married but I've been with my BF for 5yrs and lived with him for 3 so were common law married and we are in NO rush to get married either.
In HS when I lived in a very small town in Missouri we used to go through drive thru's all the time on horseback McDonald's, Sonic and the pharmacy. We rode to the grocery store, we rode our horses everywhere even school a few times! That was the craziest/fun thing I've done.
ha ha i have my belly pierced, and my ears. No ink yet, but working on it, i like to sketch my own tats so its personalized.
The most fun i had with my horse was yesterday i was running water for them in their tub, and my mare grabbed the hose and was flinging it around. then she let me give her a cool bath, and she gave me a shower too LOL. It was just an awesome bonding moment. It made me feel good to know that she enjoys little things like that.
I live in a random little town in pa, n my mom rode her mare thru the drive thru at the dairy queen, her horse got a cone all to herself too LOL. I will do so myself one day!!! She even used to go to the little market and get groceries!!!
I've been to hawaii, all down the east coast, and to california, illinois, and tennessee. Never got to go over seas, i'd like to go to ireland and trace my family history.
The craziest thing? I guess riding a tackless horse in trails at night, when it was so dark that I literally could not see a thing - I just went the trails by memory, until we found the way home.
If any of you happen to visit Latvia some day, let me know, I'd love to meet a fellow forum member.
One of my moms old employees was from Latvia. She now lives up by me now. It was always fun to talk about the different culture over there. Posted via Mobile Device
Must have been fun. Yeah, I guess our culture is a lot different from American, it would be really exciting to be able to share some more experience.
A for today - had a good ground driving session with Snickers today and I think he is ready to pull his first log from the forest. Will try it this Saturday.
Hello everyone! Thought I'd chime in =) my name is Kellie and I'm 24. I lease and Arab/Quarter X. I'm getting back into riding after being off for a couple years O.O I used to ride English, but I am converting to Western. I was born and raised in Florida and moved to California when I was 23. The last couple years for me have been very rough and I was kept from being out in society for 2 years. I'm kinda grown out of the piercing/tattoo phase, but as for piercings I had my eyebrow done 3 times, my belly button, lots of holes in my ears, and my tongue. I would also love to get my tats a much needed touch up =P
Me =)
My back tattoo - It wraps around all the way up my shoulder as well.
Ok so a random excited post.
Cos I cant keep up.
I just bought my filly her first bridle!! It sooo cuuuttee!
Have to try it on today to see if it fits!
:happydance:
Poppy - If you can buy horses that cheap its pretty good. Although what would you profit margin be? If you buy a horse for $50 and sell for $400 how much of that $350 would you have left? Do you have to pay for food/board? And if you spend two hours with it a day that's only $5.80 an hour providing you have no other costs. But if you have to have the farrier out, then some feed... well you don't want to be taking a loss. Could be a good experience though! Keep us posted!
