~ANY HORSE LOVERS OUT THERE?~

[flamingauburnmustang]

Hey.

I am very passionate about horses. I love show jumping, cross country and any sport on horse back.

Is there anyone else that loves horse riding.

If yes, what kinds of sports do you like to do?

I would love to hear everyone's experiences.

Thanks.

Maxi.

My daughters and I love horses though we don't have any. But we love to pleasure ride. We don't have enough land for a horse right now.

Thanks for responding.

I actually don't keep my horse by my house. She stays at a boarding stable where we have to pay stabling fees.

It's nice to see a family that's passionate about horses.

Hi from an ex South African! I moved away in January. I had to leave my Boerperd stallion & Thoroughbred mare behind but I train about 30 horses here now. I did showing, dressage & gymkhana. Now I train the top level showjumpers here.

Wow the horse lovers are all over the world!!!

'

Welcome South Africa and Israel Yey!!! (MY son was there a few months back)

I am in the UK and I don't ride now but love Horses. I used to ride to hunt, and had my own horse. I also taught at 2 local riding schools until life took over.

Now I am finally getting back to my roots again and I am considering what I am capable of and toying with the idea of maybe taking in a few donkeys, and possibly driving a small cart. lol.... save petrol at least.

Maybe if my confidence comes back and arthritis allows I would find a lovely hack to enjoy one day. For now just a dream.

Send us pics of your horses,

Jena. Harel Skaat fan

I never knew there were so many South Africans (or ex South Africans) on this site.

I would love to send pics, but I'm kinda stuck....not so sure how to post pics....

Spirit- my baby

a conamara pony- gelding -rescue- my soul mate

Gypsy- desert mustang- gelding -rescue from the meat pan at local sale- head strong but a great ride

and

Doc boy- moms present- reg quarter horse but looks like a work horse some one cut off at the knees

- gelding - mid as well have been a rescue by the looks of where we picked him up at.

We mostly trail ride, I love to run but Spirit fell in a ditch when he got lose last Jan and got hurt pretty bad so I am just greatful he is alive and I can ride him at all.

Wow. You are a very good person, rescuing those horses.

If money wasn't an obstacle, I would adopt every abused or neglected horse in the WORLD!!!

But hey, I can dream, can't I?

Dream Big flamingauburnmustang,

You never know what the future will bring.

It must be such a good feeling to rescue these animals and to value them as they should be, excellent stuff.

I am animal nuts, but horses are such spiritual creatures, love them,

Jena.

I have tons of pics, I'll try not to go overboard:

My Boerperd stallion, he's about to be sold.

My Thoroughbred mare, I gave her to some nice young boys.

Her foal by an appaloosa as a yearling.

My current personal horse (Tennessee Walker X Arabian gelding) which I ride because no one else can-winter coat..yuck!

Our horses in the Negev desert where I worked for a bit.

Taking an outride where I live.

A foal I work with.

His mother who I trained to carriage in 4 lessons.

She's an allrounder.

The thoroughbred I train at 3'9''

And lastly, an appaloosa 2 year old colt I showed last year in SA for a friend-we won!

Sorry, I tend to get carried away
