  1. Leasing, Loaning, Buying, Rescuing
    Hello, I was just wondering how much experience you had before getting a horse? I have been riding since I was 9, and currently have a long-term loan of a quiet riding-school horse, an ex-trotter. I have also loaned (on and off) a very spooky and flighty Connemara, who I no longer have (due to...

    Hey everyone ! Tell me about the first time you felt a deep connection with a horse, whether it be a riding connection, or your first "heart horse". Any type of connection that has a special place in your heart. Who was the horse ? How old were you ? Was it your own horse or someone else's ...

    Almost 3 years ago I learned about and bought my first Curly horse. Her quirks and unique characteristics led me to develop drawings of horses. Initially the drawings started out as a means of satisfying my young daughter's desire to color countless pictures of horses. Since then, my skills have...

I broke my C1 and didn't have the knowledge it was broken until almost three weeks later :-| On August 1st I had surgery and was in the hospital for five days and four nights. So I'm two months post-op...

    Yesterday I FINALLY got on my new boy. After a tumultuous couple of weeks, I cannot explain how wonderful it felt! My fiance got a bunch of pics, but only some are flattering(barely) lol! So I will share the best of them. We all know that face we make while riding, sometimes isn't the cutest...

    Well it's about that time of year for us again! After one of the horses in the boarding barn had lice, they all got it! -.- This is quite annoying for all of us, and I could tell the person who owns where I board was embarrassed however this can't be prevented. I just wanted to know some of your...

    I'm not sure if this is in the right place or not but I just have to set a little thank you to my trainer. We've been with her for years, boarded with her, and I'm apprenticing under her all that I can before/while I'm up at vet school. I consider her a family friend and it's icing on the cake...

My mom & step dad just bought a place in Texas that has a few acres on it, and they are talking about buying me a horse to put on it. While my mom...

    Seems like most people have an experience with a naughty little pony who really likes to test your riding skills! When I was nine I leased a little white Welsh pony for a couple years who would pretend to be a little angel and than suddenly decide it was time for me to go flying. He could buck...

    Please no comments on about how bars aren't bad and don't constrict view, and stables at home are better than the ones at shows, and how all stables turn their horses out for 6 hours every day ETC., these are my opinion. And i'm not accusing stables of this! The door slid shut with a BANG...

  16. Horse Stories, Poems, Famous Horses
    I'm trying to break into writing and as a horse lover find it sad. :cry: I can find maybe one magazine that will even accept horse fiction. It reminds me of all those frustrating horse story books. Over half the stories were excerpts from larger books. Then if you were interested you couldn't...
