Hi everyone! Very excited to be part of the forum and share my own horsey knowledge and learn from others! I was born and raised on a horse farm that boarded and gave lessons. Never liked showing, but I used to be very into competitive trail riding. I'm still an avid trail rider (although no longer competitively) and a lover of gaited horses (particularly Tennessee Walkers). I just started a up a horse blog so I'm using the forum to expand my knowledge and maybe get some topic ideas!

Welcome! If you currently have any horses, we'd love to see pictures!

Welcome to the forum!

Hello and welcome!

Which side of PA? We have quite a few members from PA. I lived my first 50 years on the OH/PA border🤠

Yes, we love pictures! I‘ve ridden Tennessee Walkers since 1990 and would love to see your crew🤠

My remaining TWH is coming 29 and has been with me since he was 2-1/2 and I still lived on the OH/PA border. I also have a 27 yr old Dutch Warmblood who is a retired show jumper. He came to my farm for retirement in March, 2022 after my 26 yr old TWH passed.

Hope to hear from you often🤠👍🤠👍

Hi there, I'm from PA too! It's a really pretty state, I just love it! I hope you enjoy the horse forum!

This one doesn't belong to me, but I've been leasing him for over a year and we are buddies. I love gaited horses and he was my first Icelandic experience!

I'm on the Eastern side of Central PA. I haven't owned a horse since my last. She was my heart horse and she was a TN Walker, so I'm a bit biased towards them. I haven't owned a horse since her (I can't bring myself to replace her), but I lease now
and ride any other horses I'm given the opportunity to.

Here is a picture of her (Georgie) and I way back in 2008 on one of our first competitive trail rides together.

So happy to meet a fellow appreciator of TN Walkers!

your past horse was beautiful. as well as your lease horse is handsome.
I also own a TWH.
And I have a few family members up in PA, beautiful state! I remember going up there for the first time and loved it.

@thesensibleequestrian I am so sorry for your loss. She was beautiful 😇🥰. She is also my favorite color🥰

I am envious you were able to do CTR with her - that was on my bucket list for many years but it was not meant to be for me.

These are two of my TWH’s, taken in 2009.

Rusty the 16.1H sorrel is still with me - the last of my Crew. He is now coming 29 and has been with me since he was 2-1/2. There’s a thread somewhere that discusses getting on a horse bareback - I am a master at that, and I expect all of my horses to stand stock still, lollol In his glory days, Rusty had it physically to do CTR but not quite enough mentally -

My precious TWH Joker, whom I lost unexpectedly in February, 2022. He was Heritage bred before Heritage had a name. A sweet gentle soul with the patience and kindness of Job😇😇. Joker was coming 27 and was with me 16 years. Joker had it mentally to do CTR but not physically.

@walkinthewalk your horses are gorgeous! I'm so sorry about Joker. I really think losing a horse is one of the hardest things. I'm still not over mine and it has been years.

Haha! I think as a kid I rode bareback more than I rode with a saddle. Purely out of laziness (I didn't want tack up). But, I attribute my good balance to that laziness! Riding bareback is good for you!

I'm sorry you never got to do CTR's. They were some of the best times of my life, and I really miss it. I don't have a horse for it anymore, but I'm volunteering at some rides this year. The people at CTR's are just amazing. It's such a great atmosphere!

Welcome! I'm also in PA. Originally from Lancaster County, now in the North Central part of the state. This is a great forum, mostly everyone here is very kind and helpful.

 

[Rented Mule]

Greetings, and welcome. I'm in the eastern part of the state, Chester County. I have a beautiful TWH Palomino mare.
Great trail horse, she's 18 and her name is " Hello Little Darlin".

@buggy I grew up in Lancaster County! Wonder if we ever crossed paths. Small world. 😁

It is a small world! We very well may have crossed paths.
