I thought I would start a new thread for people over 40
who love horses.
This thread is open to owners leasers an people who
love horses

I will start I am 48 years old and I never yet owned a horse
mainly because of finances.
I have been around horses most of my life. I have ridden
all kinds of horses first ponies then horses
I have ridden Arab, Quarter Horses, Morgans, Appendix Quarter horses.
Thoroughbreds, Appaloosas, American Saddlebreds and Paints and lots of mixed breeds too and all sizes 14hh-17hh
I have ridden both English and western
here is are pictures of me riding my friends Pinto 14hh
and my friends Half Arab

My husband knows how much I would love my own horse so in the spring we are looking in to leasing a horse

Very nice saddle PB!

Ok, my turn:

Occupation: I taught middle school for 15 years and now I am in central office administration and my areas of responsibility include gifted ed, social studies, foreign language, and professional development. I have been in public ed for 22 years!

Marital status: married for 19 years!!!

Childen: none- being in public education for 22 years will do that to you.

Location: probably would be considered rural/suburban. I can get to a large city in about 45 minutes.

Where I keep my horse: i board Isabella at a place that is exactly halfway between my house and my office, takes me 15 minutes to get there.

Hobbies: believe it or not, I am actually a paranormal investigator in my spare time. I am with a very well respected research group. I am one of the biggest skeptics of the group. I have been doing this for 8 years and our group has been featured on the TV shows "Ghosthunters" and " A Haunting". If I had to choose between horses and investigating, I would choose horses but I love the thrill of a good investigation! I am still waiting to see something that will actually scare me. I have a spine of steel!

If I could ride anywhere: my favorite place to ride has been out in Montana so I would like to go back out there, but pretty much anywhere I can move cattle on horseback!

Job with horses: i know it is hard work, but I would love to work on a ranch and work with cattle.

OK here goes.

Occupation, Pastor

Marital Status, Separated

Kids, 2 beautiful daughters, 2 awesome Grandkids

I live outside a small city along a river

Jet lives at Runnin' Circles Ranch, about 17 minutes away, with a really nice riding trail across the street.

My hobbies are Horses, Fishing, Movies, and Audio Books.

My dream horse job would be to be a Mounted Shooting Champion.

My dream places to ride would be Wyoming like in the first 2 pics and in and along the ocean like in the last 2 pics, but I would be me and not a girl. HAHA.:rofl:

My wife and I would do a lot of riding along the beach when we had our boys at this stable but never took photos except for these few. Here we are with a couple of friends on a 5 hour ride. Sereno (the gray) has the insulated saddlebags with lunch that we really like and use a lot.



My wife on Chican getting into his paso corto as we leave the stables at Sea Horse Ranch.

Stop to watch the "kids".





After a couple of hours we stop for lunch and enjoy the view and company.

Back at the stables; Sereno is always watching me and tells me things. Like "take this stuff OFF and FEED ME!".



Horses all put away and back home. Time for a dip in the pool and watch the sun set over Puerto Plata.

I'll work on our last ride in the compo in the hills to show you a little different picture of things here. :lol:

Sorry about the sizing but.... I don't care. LOL.
Well I don't know about the others but I am on my way as soon as I can get my passport off she who must be obeyed and sneek out. What did you say your address was.

Hey the saddle on the grey is it an endurance. I ride in a Tucker endurance with western skirt.

I traded my saddle for this one yesterday, I like the Western Cowboy look and the high cantle.

Looks good PB. They say they invented the high cantle so we older folks don't slide of the back of the horse when going up hill:lol: not that i am thinking you slide off the horse when going up hill.

I tried to post a joke, it was a little on the need a sence of humor side and a little grubby but I thought it funny and not too offensive. However, when I pushed the submit button nothing happened.

How many of you get spam I seem to get not only my share but half of everone elses as well.

It intregs me. I get spam for hair growth, glasses, weight loss, how to get flat abs, improve my hearing, get white teeth and that big blue tablet. I sit here and wonder. How in the h--- did they know.:lol: :lol::lol::lol:

PB, nice saddle....considering it's almost identical to the one I just bought last week! :lol: I find it to be super comfy...although when I sat down this morning for breakfast....my bum bones did yelp a bit!.....two consecutive days in the saddle after 20 years will do that I suspect! 😉

Also, PB! are you in the Dominican doing pastor work?

Have a GREAT week all! 😜😀. Happy trails!!!!
