Any Equestrians here? (train, pistol, enthusiast, Connecticut)

[J.R.]

I can't seem to find a section specifically for horse enthusiasts. Any horse peeps out there?

*raises hand* Me! Here is a pic of my rotten horse.



I ride hunter/jumper. I also assist with the collegiate equestrian program for 2 local colleges.

Looks like an angel in a pink girth to me!!!

I am strictly a trail rider, but rather religious about it!

I grew up showing. I spent 14 years on the big circuit. These days I get to the barn once a week. My husband is not horsey and is extremely jealous of my horse. When he is out of town I go every day.

The pink started as kind of a joke and all of my friends are playing along. I even have a pink bridle (leather with Swavorski crystals).



The girl is one of our college kids who was thinking we needed to find a parade to show off our fancy new tack.

I rode for about 10 years but haven't in a while - never owned a horse and got fed up with lesson horses.

Racelady, love the pink bridle!!! I go to the barn every day, have too, I am the owner/manager! Used to be in the boarding business, but I have scaled way back and these days it is just my horses and 1 boarder who is a very close freind. My husband enjoys riding, but not as much as I do. I try to trailer out once a week in the summer, and as much as time allows in the cooler months. My trail horse is a very spoiled 16.1 Fox Trotter.

I have a draft mix and a red dun quarter horse mare. Due to the type of job and other obligations, I have only shown a few times. But would like to do more. I love trail riding but rarely get the chance. The draft mix is 23yrs. the mare is 3 yrs old

I don't like horses but I have a Donkey...does that count?

Used to be! Had a 20+ acre horse farm with indoor ring in Connecticut years ago and did the whole hunter/jumper routine, teaching adults and children and handicapped, training, a little bit of breeding, and showing just about every weekend on the local circuit. Wonderful memories!

LOVE the pink!!!

I had a 16 hand grade gelding for 24 years. He died in Jan at age28. We did some trail riding, lots of side-of-highway miles. He never liked the show arena. My husband isn't horsey, so I couldn't do nearly what I would have liked. About 4 years ago I bought 2 standard donkeys to keep Bo company. I still enjoy working with them, and have trained the momma to pull a cart. Both can be ridden by children, but too small for adults. I plan to get another horse someday, when my lifestyle slows down. Riding is still my #1 favorite thing to do!
