I would like to see more pictures of some of the horses that you all talk about so much. My horse, AD Sshabecca (AKA The Psycho Princess) had some pictures taken yesterday by a photographer. I didn't get any of her all tacked up. Can some of you post some of your favorite pictures of your horses?
They have tried to steal the black one, But he bucks once in a while when he has his little hissy fits. The girls seem to trigger that more than I do. They haven't learned how far they can push that horse before his temper flairs.
The problem with daughters, is they steal your horse, So you go buy another horse, and another till you have a whole herd, then the girls grow up and leave you with more horses than you can ride.
The solution is get horses taller than they can mount. :lol: Worked for me. If she gets off alone she has to find a stump (my mare is not walking into a ditch). Never have to worry about my daughter taking either of my horses. Now my sons are a different matter, but they aren't as interested in going riding. They just look after them if needed.
I don't "trail" ride per se. I've ridden on trails, but that was only because I happen to be riding that way and the trail was there. They usually aren't "horse" trails or even maintained trails in many cases. Just trails through the woods. Dirt roads that provide a 3 mile short cut vs going 8 miles on hwy to reach the same point are popular with me too :lol:
I haven't asked permission to post their photo, so I've covered up the person I let ride my mare last month. (Don't often get pictures of me on her)
She doesn't mind snakes, other critters, cars, SUV's, etc...., but we're still working on bigger or noisier items like buses, tractors and motorcycles. She's only 16.1, but my daughter can't see over her back and can't mount without some means getting higher.
My buckskin mare I just sold this spring. Too spooky for mountain riding, went on to be a barrel horse
My very exciting little appaloosa filly. 2 this year, best head I've ever seen on a young horse, heck on any horse. She notices everything but never spooks. Excited to get her in the mountains in a few years
Fantastic trail gelding I ride. Drafy/appy, will go up, down or through whatever you point him at:
My new mountain horse. Quite likely the funniest looking arab I've ever seen. Never seen her spook, you can pony other horses off her, etc. The more I ride her the more i like her
She is an Arabian. Egyptian bred. She is pretty high strung for a trail horse, but she is settling down. I am not interested in spending the time and money on showing, so I may as well ride her.
Wow! :shock: (I guessed her to be a Quarter/Arabian) She looks "stockier" and prettier then most I've seen, the biggest thing that turns me off of Arabians is that their neck seems to be the same size from their chest to neck instead of thicker at the neck and narrower at the top.(like most horses)....And anyway pretty nice trail horse hope she does well for you!:wink:
I ride a Quarter horse and a solid Paint...Slow computer so I won't download pictures...:?
This is Moon 13yr old quarter horse. She is rock steady as a trailhorse. I knew I wanted her when my husband and friend went and looked at her and both jumped on her bareback with only a halter.
Here is my girl, Gem. She is mostly Arab with 1 QH on her papers way back. She is actually registered breeding stock pinto and half arab. We trail ride, do endurance and play around with some jumps in the arena. She HATES bare wood especially if it is all piled up which makes riding in the woods interesting. Have a deer or turkey jump out right in front of her or a baby bird land on the cheek of her bridle and hang on for the ride and it is no problem though.
I like that braiding style becasue I feel like it still allows protection from the bugs, but allows more air to move through it for cooling. Gem thought it was a torture session getting it done.
The little dog was a rescue, kept in a kennel 23 hours a day from 6 weeks old to 6 months. I don't know if it was lack of socialization during an important developmental stage or she was born this way, but she has the IQ of a turnip. Thankfully she's quick on her feet or she wouldnt be around the horses at all. Just before the pic was taken I think her thought process was:
"large horse(wags tail)"
"running towards me(wags tail)"
"Gonna run me over! RUN!!!!!!"
the bay one is my 17 year old arabian iv had her for 9 year she is wounderfull trail horse she love the trails and never gets tired, she not spooky at all. and the sorrel one is a 9 reg quarter horse geilding we had him sinse 6 mounths he is as boom proof as they get, he is a wounderfull kids horse, the only thing he gets skidish of is cows. but we just found out that he has cancer
the first picture is my moms old horse and my trail horse that passed. and on the right my horse that i trail ride. then is my moms little brown paint thats her trail horse, my QH in the middle and my barrel horse on the right.
i have stolen my moms horse a few times, her tb/clyd, her QH, her little paint is now half mine
