Calling All Riders!!

Yup! Not at a legit like, barn or anything. But a family friend gave me a bunch of lessons and taught me all the basics when I first got my horse when I was 12

Have you ever ridden in a parade?

No, I haven't. Sounds fun!

Has your horse taken pictures with Santa?

No, we don't mess with our horses in the winter because I have school and we work 'em pretty hard in the summer.  It's like a long break, through both fall and winter and then it's back to work in the spring and summer.

Have you ever been bitten?

Yes, my first horse was SO mouthy. lol
Do you have a trainer?

Yes she is the owner of the Stables I ride at.

Do you remember the first horse you rode?

I do! His name was Sport. Best horse ever. 

Do you show?

I haven't shown since I was four.  I've been in a pickle with the horses I'm riding, and school, and then my training.  I normally did barrel racing, flag racing, and pole bending around that age.  But I plan on showing my Shetland pony that I'm training in a few Halter classes, lead line classes with my younger brother, and then I might let my younger brother trot and walk some barrels and poles.

Do you have a favorite horse at your barn (or house)?

Yes, my horse, of course! Though I am almost as equally obsessed with the little 12hh red roan welsh pony I’ve trained since she was 4. She’s 20 now. 

Does your horse get any special supplements?

No, we did have to feed our horses a different feed once for shows, but that was only until the bag was gone 'cause the horses didn't show much difference, really.

Have you ridden a rare breed of horse before?  (Like a Curly, a connemara, an Arabian, etc . . .)

Yes I have! :)

Does your horse dislike any kind of treats? (Apples, carrots, peppermints, etc)

My older cousin's horse doesn't like carrots.  She even tried to mix the carrots with grass and hide it, but he wouldn't eat it at all!  XD

Have you ridden a palomino?

Yes, my sister's first horse (when we were kids) was a palomino and I rode him on occasion. His name was Easter and he was a nice ol' horse.

Have you ever attended a horsemanship clinic? (this excludes sport-specific clinics as those do not focus horsemanship typically)

We've actually never been to any clinics.

Have you ever ridden a horse with a two-toned tail?

well I mean my horse's tail is a strange mix of silver, cream/tan, black, and reddish brown, so yeah

Have you ever ridden a draft horse?

No, but we had some driving drafts at one point.

Have you ever used saddlebags?
