My horses:

Return to Oz; 4 year old, Bay, Anglo-Arabian, gelding. I have had him for over two years, and we are training for Endurance and cross country.
Lola Lolita Lou: Unknown Age, Unknown Breed (gainted?), Sorel/Chestnut, Mare. She is a new rescue I 1/2 own and ride fully, she is simply working on getting chunky.

^ As you can tell Lola is doing a good job of getting chunky, she wont even lift her head for a picture! She is the ribby sorel in the background, and yes that is nearly 4 months after her rescue. She was a 1 on the body scale when she came to us, this is a masive improvement. I rode her today (very shortly, simply to see if she was broke) for the very first time and she is a BRAT, a B-R-A-T; but a fun little brat! She has more spunk than Ozzy!

I don't own any horses, but I wish I did!

And I used to take riding lessons for about a month, but haven't in about a year now...Too expensive. But my family's finances are better now, so I just might sign up for lessons again. I don't know. I hope I can.

The last time I went, I had only learned the basic skills and had just been practicing trotting...In fact on the last day I went, I almost fell off for the first time because while trotting my horse started cantering randomly and I had never ridden while cantering so it took me by surprise and I almost fell off, but thankfully I didn't...That was the last day I went I hope my instructor didn't think I never came back because of that quick yet frightening experience. Actually, I wasn't really frightened, I just got a little teary-eyed because I was a little embarrassed for a moment and she thought it was because I was scared.

LOL oh well...

I have a bunch of Breyer and other brand horse models and horse posters are all over my wall in my bedroom.

I love drawing horses as well!
(Here's a picture I drew recently

BTW beautiful horses, Tinted!

 

[Tinted]

Thats amazing! You have real skill and talent! I know what you mean abou how expensive lessons are, I had to quit for a while as well.

. Luckly my riding instructor is one of the nicest people on earth and has offered private lessons at my barn for the same price I paid for group lessons at her barn, I am very excited.

What style do you ride? (English, Western, etc?)

Thanks! I ride English and have ridden Western for trail riding.

That's great about your riding lessons!

I bet you'll have fun!

 

[Tinted]

I ride english as well though I ride western with a few select horses. What discipline do you do, or just pleasure riding?

Oh, and thank you for the lovely comment about my horses. I love them to bits!

Well, while I had riding lessons I was learning to do the siting trot and rising trot and then canter, but never got that far. I was going to learn to do jumping and maybe dressage, too.

But now I haven't ridden in probably over a year, so I don't really know.

 

[Tinted]

Personaly I enjoy Dressage far more than jumping and it comes in handy for trails and endurance, not to mention Oz is a total baby when it comes to jumps.

You said you collect Breyers? Have you ever been to Breyer fest?

Nope, too far away from me, but I've wanted to go.

It's in Lexington, Kentucky right? Quite a few states away from me.

 

[Tinted]

Yes, its at the horse park. I go every year, but then again its only an hour or so away from me. If you ever want something there let me know and I will see if I can pick it up for you, there are thousands of vendors there every year. I adore the Alborozo Mold/model.
