Hello! I haven't seen a horse thread in a while, thanks for making one!

I rode and took lessons for about 5-6 years, partly during that time and now I've been working at my barn for probably almost 2 years. I started out helping in the summer camps and now I run them, give lessons, and help train/care for two horses.

Ginger is a Thoroughbred mare who is our newest lesson horse (though we've had her for almost 2 years now); I helped train her to be a lesson horse and she's also the go-to horse I mess around with for fun as well. Frustratingly she's had a foot problem so she's been on and off work for the last few months, but I try my best to keep her in good shape! I love her a lot. She's the bright chestnut in the pics. (wearing the hats )

I also work with our rescue, Phoenix, who is a big sweetheart...kinda hates work LOL but we try to make him do a little to keep in shape and so he can be adopted out soon or be used in camp a bit. He's just an old guy who likes to be loved on and not much more. He tries so hard for me, though, so he's fun to work with. (when he's not trying to kill me for lunging him lol ) He's the cute little bay in the pics.

My mare ally.
Her full name is alpine cat and she used to be a racehorse. I have a half share in her with a lady who moved to England she helped me take my riding to the next level. We nearly lost her to African horse sickness in 2019 but lucky she was alright. She is such a pleasure to ride and I have started jumping on her. Her other owner did show jumping with her. I find it a bit scary as she has a very big jump.

I'm going to another lesson on Wednesday at 3:30pm.

In general I do not ride anymore due to a back injury from a car wreck many years ago. I do not care how smooth the horse is, 15 minutes is a long time and I can hardly move for a few days. We do have 3 horses. Dirt a 5 year old Rocky Mountain, Louis a 19 year old Tennessee Walking horse and Russ a 16 year old Tennessee Walking horse. Dirt is my dad's, Russ is my daughters and they share Louis.
Here is Dirt

Louis

And Russ, this picture and video was taken Saturday. She started out slow gaiting him getting him ready for the upcoming local show season. Then they snuck off to have some fun.

My lesson was cancelled because my instructor got "exposed" to "Covid".
