#ed_op#DIV#ed_cl#Well I was going to say he reminds me of my horse especially in the one jumping picture (not that I really jump my horse) but his expression.#ed_op#/DIV#ed_cl##ed_op#DIV#ed_cl# #ed_op#/DIV#ed_cl##ed_op#DIV#ed_cl#Then I read "he's just an appendix" and I giggled to myself because my horse is "just an appendix" too ;o) Only my horses dad is the QH and his dam the TB.#ed_op#/DIV#ed_cl##ed_op#DIV#ed_cl# #ed_op#/DIV#ed_cl##ed_op#DIV#ed_cl#My horse just turned 5 this year. I've had him since he was about 20 months old or so, and I've done all the training myself too =o) I don't have a coach although I could sure use one! I'm having a hard time with cantering, my horse doesn't want to go heehee. I'm going to try tonight, hopefully he doesn't buck my sorry butt off *knock on wood*.#ed_op#/DIV#ed_cl##ed_op#DIV#ed_cl# #ed_op#/DIV#ed_cl##ed_op#DIV#ed_cl#I used to show, and did open shows, fairs, and hunter/jumper. I don't know what I am going to do with this horse I have now. Maybe a bit of everything. He will be able to be shown english or western, he's really versitile. I like jumping, and he was supposed to be a jumper, so we can do that too.#ed_op#/DIV#ed_cl##ed_op#DIV#ed_cl##ed_op#BR#ed_cl#And I just bought a dressage saddle, even though I've never ridden dressage in my life, so maybe I'll try that too LOL.#ed_op#/DIV#ed_cl##ed_op#DIV#ed_cl# #ed_op#/DIV#ed_cl##ed_op#DIV#ed_cl#Eventing looks like a blast. Are there a lot of events in this area? I am about 45 minutes or so west of London.#ed_op#/DIV#ed_cl##ed_op#DIV#ed_cl# #ed_op#/DIV#ed_cl##ed_op#DIV#ed_cl#Congrats on your accomplishments, you should certainly be VERY proud of yourself and your lovely horse.#ed_op#/DIV#ed_cl##ed_op#DIV#ed_cl# #ed_op#/DIV#ed_cl##ed_op#DIV#ed_cl# #ed_op#/DIV#ed_cl##ed_op#DIV#ed_cl#Jessica#ed_op#/DIV#ed_cl#
Somewhere...somewhere in time's own space
There must be some sweet pastured place
Where creeks sing on and tall trees grow
Some Paradise where horses go,
For by the love that guides my pen
I know great horses live again...
