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.

They are, that's why I never ride with Snickers down in the entrenchments, although they are wide enough at some places. Some of the mines that can be found there are specifically landmines, so stepping on one of those, if it is still intact, would be deadly. Luckily, there are not a lot of those left, and the military are cleaning up them gradually.
Holy jeesus! You guys are making America sound like the most deadly place on earth! Lol
I like Australia with all its cute little fluffy animals and no land mines lol. :P
I still want to visit usa though... Eventually Posted via Mobile Device
Lol Nyx - cute fluffy animals, which ones are those exactly?
Even Koalas, so sweet looking, would rip into you pretty badly if they grabbed you, although I doubt they would. And all the snakes. Kangaroos can be pretty deadly, wombats can get aggressive. Me and my horse were once attacked by a duck.
Yeah, it is truly a shame. Our land has quite a bloody history, as our access to the Baltic sea meant all the big countries would be interested to fight over our territory and independency.
you do indeed live in an area with an incredibly rich history, one that the horse has played a major role in over the years! I would love to see those war sites. My grandpas were all in WWII and I have a lot of respect for them. The U.S. isn't that bad! I mean we are in a drought right now so it can get dangerous to ride out into the badlands area because of lack of water and shade. We just had a hiker go missing in the badlands...pray for him he has a family!
Oh my, that's horrible that he went missing. I hope he turns up in good health.
If people go missing here, that's usually in autumns, when different wild berries and mushrooms can be picked in the forests, but people sometimes wander off in swamps and it's there where they drown or lose their track and freeze. It is more often with senior citizens who thin that they know the way well, but actually get lost and don't always carry their phones with them to call for help.
oh that sounds awful this man has been missing for over a week already...but the police have a map of the area he went missing in so hopefully he didn't get conufsed in the heat and wander somewhere completely different or fall off a cliff
So I just got a text from the bm that feeds in the morning and apparently my dear Lizzy was ****** she wasn't grained first. She talks and talks and talks and if I could understand her she probably would have a pretty foul mouth haha.
But on another note I will be going to a Pat Parrelli clinic either Saturday or Sunday. So it shall be interesting and hoping to learn a few things. And maybe I will find out more about this NH movement. I'm always open to learning new things.
Ha I can't afford their gimmicks. So they can try all they want. Although I am looking for a few pieces of tack yet and if there are vendors it may be hard to resist, given they are no more than normal as I'm pretty cheap.
I'm pretty sure Lizzy was saying a million bad things in her head last night as she was getting her feet done. And she only kicked the farrier once!! Such an improvement And don't worry this farrier worked with her when she first arrived in rescue so he knows what she used to be like. He doesn't usually work with misbehaving horses but she has turned around quite fast. And it wasn't a hard enough kick to really hurt anything.
When I got back after a week of being away, the horses all whinnied when I came to the gate - the minis sounded like "oh, hey! Nice to see you!"... but I swear Éowyn was saying "WHERE THE $%&# HAVE YOU BEEN???" Apparently, she does NOT like breaks. Workaholic, that horse...
Haha well luckily you have a new saddle to make sure she works her little butt off. Then she might like breaks after awhile haha. I imagine all my animals having a foul mouth, especially my dog that "purrs" when I give her kisses. Hehe one day I think I may have an accidentally pierced lip
Haha yes that's why I was confused. But I made it there for a few hours, when it was all rainy and icky out and cold. Got to see some pretty cool horses though. Next year I'm definately saving up some money to buy lots of new horsey gear and get to the used sale barn quick.
Haha yes. I thought it was good. Didn't really get to see a lot of clinics though. There was so much going on. And I went with other people but I definately plan on spending some time there next year. And yes most likely a shopping spree as well. What I looked at seemed to be reasonably priced.

I am so majorly excited that I feel like a teenager again. And I HAVE to share!
In Latvia, there is a one largest horse fair during the year. The fair includes many different shows, demonstrations, clinics and such. This year, our barn has been invited to perform with a NH demonstration - this area in horsemanship is still fresh here and there are not many who do something in it in a more advanced level.
And the BO wants that Snickers and I perform along with the rest of the team.
EEEK!!! We've got approximately a month for training. WHAT DO I DO WHAT DO I DO???
