It's so cool seeing pics of everyone's horses!
Here's 2 of my girls. I have 4 mares, but I just don't have a lot of horse photos on photobucket...
This is Whinnie (AKA, Turn the Page), my Trakehner/Thoroughbred cross mare. This is a badly scanned pic
and I totally cut off the top of my head.
This was taken a few years ago...maybe 3 years ago? Whinnie would've been about 7...She's 10 now. I show hunters. This was at an "A" show, in the adult amateurs, but I haven't shown at an A show since the year this photo was taken. We have shown at local "C" rated stuff a bit the past few years.
This is Whinnie again, trying to be a dressage horse.
I think she did a better job pulling it off than I did.
I'm nearly 7 months pregnant in these pictures--which was the reason we were working with a dressage trainer--I stopped jumping while I was pregnant. I took the opportunity to do some
real flat work. It was really good for us both!
And here's Abby (AKA, Abbey Road). She's 4, this was a pic of her as a 2-year old. She was, um, an "impulse buy".
She was a yearling being boarded at a barn I worked at, and one day her owner suddenly sold her and her mother to the local "horse trader".
I knew she was going to end up at an auction god-knows-where, so I called him up and made him an offer. She came home with me the next day! She's super sweet, though I have no idea what I'm going to do with her. Her breeding isn't exactly conducive to any disicipline that I ride (I think just for fun I'm going to start another thread and ask people to guess what Abbey is!
Y'all will never believe me). I was pregnant last year when I would've liked to start her under saddle. Here's hoping this year we'll get that done!
