Who else here can ride? fav colour horse?

LOL :~)

never wear light pant while you ride bareback though...lol..have you ever rubbed on a horse and your fingers get black oil all over them..ehhhhh imagine all over your butt XD. i had a bareback pad though and the darn thing never worked. my mom would get so frustrated (because my sis had to have everything her way) trying to put that thing on maggie and it'll just loosen up. my mom finally threw it away and was like "whats the point of a bareback pads..then your not really riding bareback then..might as well a saddle" LOL. maybe one of these days we can find a easier bareback pad to put on. i remember when my farrier rode pauline bareback..right when he jumped on she bucked and reared over backwards..creaming him against the side of our chicken house..then she dragged him around..the lady that sold her to us..must have been pretty embarrassed because she said little kids ride her all the time...of course a year later she decided to ride pauline and she got flipped into the air like the way spirit threw off the colonel..just not as far..served the bitch right..lying like that can get a innocent rider killed, like me..its not fun landing on your ass after being tossed a good 8 foot in the air..it felt like all my insides when "plunk!"..hadn't rode her since..no point she still bucks. i'll just stick with innocent maggie :D

"hey howdy hey! thats me on a yoyo!"

she sounds like a bit of a terror!
your poor farrier, that doesn't sound like fun!
and poor you!

(I always wear jeans or black trousers when I ride! lol)

lol he's used to it...he breaks his bones all the time with horses..he must REALLY love them XD

"hey howdy hey! thats me on a yoyo!"

My aunt used to have a horse that would buck everyone off. He was really nice but once you put weight on his back like you were going to get on him he went crazy. My brother broke his leg trying to ride him. He was an ex barrel racer and I guess he got mistreated because he didn't want anyone near him anymore. My aunt ended up just using him for breeding because he was really fast and had good bloodlines.

awww. guess some horses just don't like to be ridden, like Spirit. lol.

except for little creek..you cant REALLY say thats he's not broken. lol XD. but if i was a horse..i would just let them hang on..their own fault if they fall off or not..XD no bits or saddles for me!
poor horsey! thats a problem with used horses..you never know how they react to things or if they were abused, mistreated. i think pauline was..she has saddle scars on her back..and she just HATES the bit..she'll swing her head up and the reins would go to one side of her neck..scary..i'm glad she's got a very tender mouth..except when she rears up i yank the *beep* outta her mouth without thinking cause its hard to hold on..people tell you to let go of the reins when they rear..oh yeah..like anybody's gonna think about that when your horse tries to scrap you off their back lol. i remember this poor barrel horse at a rodeo one time..he didnt win anything so his owner starting smacking and jerking on his horses reins, just because he had a girlfriend next to him

"hey howdy hey! thats me on a yoyo!"

Thats what I thought, Spirit allowed Little Creek to ride him, so he must a bit tollerante of people. lol.

I hate people who abuse horses like that, people who kick them and pull at their reins, it makes me feel sick.

lol, yea, if your about to fall off a horse or your on a rearing one the last thing you want to do is let go of your only support!

lol tell me about it. let go of the reins and then the horse can do what ever it wants..jump over the ditch...bolt through a fence and you cant stop it..its just like telling a person on fire to stop drop and roll XD LOL

"hey howdy hey! thats me on a yoyo!"

lol. he he!
I find it hard when I canter to lessen my hold on the reins, you cant pull at the mouth can you? but when I do I feel like i'm going to fall off!

Pooky you should use a hackamore instead of a real bridle on Pauline. That way you won't have to worry about cutting up the horses mouth or agitating it because there is no bit. They work really well with horses that have been abused or don't like the bit. As for Spirit and Little Creek... I think it was because Little Creek saved Spirit and Spirit saved Little Creek. They both became good friends and knew that they could trust each other. Spirit figured out that they had to stick together for the sake of their land. If they hadn't of helped one another either one of them could have witnessed their land being torn up and the ones that they love being killed or captured. They needed each other for survival. That's just how I see it.

your right, I think Spirit almost saw Little Creek as one of his own kind in principal. aww, wish I had that kind of relationship with a horse!

me too. *dreams* i was thinking about hackamores but i heard from people that they can be somewhat harsh on the head and that you have to be experienced in using such things...and pauline such a nervous reck and so are all we, but maybe we can find one and try it out since people tend to say things anyway. the real problem i think is that she needs an experienced ride who can handle her nervousness, none of us really can. we're all laid back and prefer bomb-proof mounts, us and pauline really aint meant for each other. i want to get rid of her but my lil sis likes her..she has her head up in the clouds because she's never experienced being bucked off(and she teases me about my bad experience) and she thinks she can handle pauline, she does better then any of us but i still think pauline is way to much for her..she ALMOST got bucked off and she was scared..she put off riding her for awhile, she shouldn't talk much.. sometimes i laugh at those aqha adds about q horses being the bestest, gentlest mounts..i'm never trusting anymore stupid owners and their "used" horses..too dangerous lol XD *hugs maggie and dream horsey* i read in some horse magazines about a new bitless bridle that not like a hackamore..does anyone know what its called?? or where on the net i could look it up?? it looked really interesting...

"hey howdy hey! thats me on a yoyo!"

We use hackamores when we are training horses. They might be harsh if you have a hard hand, but we've never had any problems. With used horses you have to make sure you can trust the person that is selling. Ride the horse yourself before you buy it and take someone else to try it too. That is the best thing to do. Go to www.horsetacksupply.com or www.statelinetack.com and try searching for that bridle.

poor Pauline, she must have had a bit of a hard life before she came to you, maybe she just shouldn't be ridden. sorry, I dont know about bridles and tack and stuff!

perhaps, poor pauline she needs parelli lol XD. i remember we had something similar to a hackamore but it was something else...forgot what it was called darn! but yeah we outta check out that website if my mom already hasn't. i'm pretty light with my hand..i like soft-mouthed horses since its better and easier to control..not like some of those english riding school horses..their mouths are so hard we that constant pressure on the reins..i dont see how anyone would want to ride for hours with a taunt rein the whole time..turns my arms to jelly XD. i tell you one horse, our first horse ehhhhh *screams* she was beautiful but deadly! she was alright when we first got her (my dad bought her for a suprise..he doensn't know squat about horses) after a while you couldn't catch her, brush her or anything..i remember when we tryed to get her used to tieing. we tried diff methods that some horse people told us..and the bitch would rear up and once she broke her halter that way and she flipped backwards and hit the barn. stupid thing...and she's so freakin wild that she'd gallop around and run right over the chicken wire fence. she was laying right on top of it with her back hoove tangled in it..my dad had to cut her out. just to let you know we replaced all of the fences with proper "horse" fences..the chicken wire was originally for the goats. then she kicked my mom a few times so we got rid of her..i hear now that she's a show jumping horse but very high strung and they bred her..which i think is stupid since she doesn't have a good temp at all..some breeders really need to focus on temperment other then "fads" or "how good the horse can do this" *pets maggie*
i'm loving this thread! it turned into a horsey chat room! *hugs all friends*

"hey howdy hey! thats me on a yoyo!"

oh yeah..thanks for the links shy gurl..found some interesting stuff :)

"hey howdy hey! thats me on a yoyo!"

he he, your right it is! lol!

I never have my reins to tight, my instructor says have constant contact with the horses mouth, but I never pull to tight, unless i'm fighing to stay on. lol.

i've never come across a horse so bad tempered! but then I only ride horses specially used in riding schools, so they should have a good temper, not Copper though, the horse I fell off, I fell in love with her but shes turning out to be a bit of a wild one. I think i'll ride a different horse next time!

Great news! One of my aunt's mares just had a foal! I'm so excited. My aunt is gonna teach me how to train horses now that we have a new foal to train. He is an Appaloosa/Quarter Horse. My nephew named him Jet. He is black with a white blanket and black spots.
Those two links I gave you have great tack. That's where I usually order my tack and other supplies. Before I moved to my aunt's I went to this riding stable that had some pretty mean horses. There was this one that wouldn't go anywhere past the pastures. She would turn right back around no matter what you did to try and keep her from going where you wanted to. It was a pretty snobby stable too because no one would tell the new people about the horses that you shouldn't take out.

oh wow! A foal! how wonderful! and what a gorgeous colour, and name! your so lucky, you get to be taught how to train horses, i'm so jelous!!!

do you find that some horsey people and people who work at stables can be a bit... nasty?

Yea they can be pretty nasty and I don't understand why. There is no reason to be. I guess it could be because they think they are better at horse related stuff than everyone else.

yea exactly, whenever I go to a riding stables they always make me feel like they really dont want me to be there, like i'm wasting there time, and they can be very stuck up. oh well, not all horse people are like that.

CONGRATS!!! he sounds like a really good looking foal! i hope he turns out to be a great riding horse! :) :D its so great when baby pets are born! ^.^

i know what you mean about some "stable people" and OMG!!! LIL COWGIRL WANNABE'S!! ARRRRR! their so big-headed and "i know everything" i remember this one little turd during horse camp, she came everyday wearing all this glitter clothes and cowboy boots and hat..ackkk. she was very spoiled and thought she knew everything about horses..she always thinks smacked or whiping the horse was the only way to communicate with it. i remember once when i was leading my horse out she was behind him whipping his butt..i didn't know but if i did i would have backed up and made him kick her(yeah i sound cruel but i get short-tempered and dangerous) i thought it was so funny when that horse of hers would drag her all over the place. i think the last day he stepped flat on her little foot and she screamed and smacked him and he just stood their like "zzzzzzzz whatever" i stood there and laughed XD lol i dont go there anymore now..its been 3 years. but so many memories....

"hey howdy hey! thats me on a yoyo!"

I've never been to horse camp. I used to always wanna go, but then my friend said that it was horrible when she got back from it. She said that people there were really snobby and into themselves. They kept talking stuff about her because she wasn't as good of a rider as them. I wanted to go there with my horse and show them what a real rider was. They did it right to her face too. Then I guess one of the girls actually got thrown off her horse after she had been bragging and the instructor made fun of her to let her know what it's like. I woulda got off my horse and laughed in her face, but that's just me.
So how old are you two? I'm 17 and I live in Minnesota.

yea, I wouldn't want to go to a horse camp if people were like that. I dont like people who come to lessons in all their gear, act like they know everything, make me feel intimidated, and then it turns out they dont know how to trot. its quite rewarding though when the teacher picks up on that and says "that girl didn't know what she was doing" lol. and people who are having pony walks around the villiage and they look at you on the ground as if your scum or something just cause your not riding a horse, I cant stand it.

I'm 15 and I live in Norfolk.

i'm 18 going on 19 in a few mths. *another memory* it sucks when you have to ride with people who never rode(and dont care)in the samer arena..there was like 12 horses? and the arena was really small. there was this black horse there called Ace. he was really aggressive..probably proud cut the way he was. he would take control of his rider and gallop and buck around the arena. he once came up along me and slashed my leg with swing of his head. the girl strutted her stuff and said "i made my horse do that"..bitch.. eventually though while she was sitting on him in the barn he reared up and went crazy. another time he reared up when he was tyed. he got hit by a truck before when he was tied a long time ago. the instructor came over and started whipping him to death.. he did it while i was in the way and almost stomped on me. she shouldn't punish a horse for being scared and reminded of a bad experience. and this other girl would stand in the arena and cry that her horse was gonna kill her. the horse was over 20 and was falling asleep. XD that girl cried the WHOLE summer camp...

"hey howdy hey! thats me on a yoyo!"

I'd just rather not go to any camp or riding stable unless I know that the people there know what they are doing. I'm glad I don't have to go to riding lessons or just ride at a stable anymore. There were a few people that I liked there, but a lot of the riders were really mean. It felt like I was in one of those riding stables that authors write about. I used to read The Saddle Club and it's true there are usually girls that act like Veronica. This one girl at my old stable wanted to be my friend because I have an Arabian and he looks like he was very expensive, but when she found out that I got him at an auction when he was a baby she didn't want anything to do with me. She insisted on being rude to me after that too.

wow, i've never met such an agressive horse as the one you described Pooky, and I hate to hear of such cruelty, why do people have to do that? I was offered a whip once, I wouldn't take it, I refuse to use them. I feel a little novice here, everyone has had horsey experiences but me! LOL. what I dont like is having lessons with children of 7 years and below, cause I cant do anything, definately cant canter, also if I havn't been riding for a few weeks the insructor acts like i've never ridden before and starts explaining to me what a saddle is! I cant stand it!

an arabian! those are pretty :) we had a one at our place. he was a world champ before he suffered massive colic and had to have surgery...now he looks like a low grade cheap horse..poor thing. that wasn't the only riding stable i went to..i went to one in Germany but people there were nice and mature..concentrating on improving other then being nasty. they were actually all nice when i would come up and look or pet their horses while they tacked up..not all "i know more so dont pet my horse" like some people down here are. i only had one bad experience and that was when my horse ran out from under me..i wasn't prepared and i fell off on my elbow, got dragged a few feet. but nothing major. i remember the old white thoroughbred she had..it was the instructors own horse and she was the nicest thing i rode..she galloped and did everything for me even though it was my first time riding english.
perfectpureblood lol Ace wasn't the only mean horse they had there..when i was leading out a grey mare she reared up at me and tried to strike me with her hooves. i hated her. they once a hansome belgian stallion at our mean camp. he was kinda scared but he let me pet him..he was huge..a good 19-20 hands tall. and his halter was custom made because of his huge head. you could put that halter on your body literally..

"hey howdy hey! thats me on a yoyo!"

reared up at you? my god, I dont want to encounter a horse like that! aww, 20 hands?! down my road is a shire horse centre, they have some mighty horses down there, the foals are the size of a riding horse!

shires! i always wanted to see those horses..your lucky! XD

"hey howdy hey! thats me on a yoyo!"

have you never seen a shire up close? wait, are Shires only in England? I never thought of that. well they are very beautiful, but a bit... intimidating! Clydesdales are bigger though.

Yea my Arabian is huge for his breed! Little kids used to ask me if he was the black stallion. I once had a horse step on my foot. It didn't put all its weight on me so thankfully my foot wasn't broken. Shires are wonderful and beautiful. I think it's fun to ride on the big draft horses. It feels kinda like flying :)

a black arabian! dang your lucky! he must be very hansome XD. i had a cow step on my foot once but not a horse. i wish i could ride a draft horse *dreams* the biggest horse i sat on was about 18 hands tall and talk about stretching your legs, i didn't use a stepping stool! LOL XD. but a draft horse must feel cool..i only sat on my friends belgian but she didn't do anything. i like their wide backs though..kinda makes me feel secure.

"hey howdy hey! thats me on a yoyo!"

At our old neighbors farm we used to go and lay on the backs of his percherons LoL. I had a bunch of goats push me into the mud one time too but that's about it for animal type injuries. Leg space on a horse is very important ;) J/K! It's nice though. My horse, Shadow, is about 16.6 hands and he has really nice features. Most people think he is mixed with something else, but I have the papers to prove that he is full Arabian. I also have two Miniature Horses named Roi and Richocet. My aunt has a whole bunch of different breeds of horses. We have dogs, cats, chickens, a couple donkeys, and three goats. It's a very busy place. I'm glad I got to move out here in the country so I can be here all the time. Before I could just come on the weekends or whenever I had time off of school. Life without horses and other animals sucks! Although I could do without snakes!!! LoL

wow, your lucky. it sounds wonderful. I have a dog, cat and 8 rabbits, not very exotic! lol. and i've never been allowed to sit on a heavy horse! that sounds wonderful to. Arabians are beautiful, your so lucky, their easily my fav breed. A horse stood on my foot once, but it was more of a light lean, I had enough time just to pick up his leg and move it off. lol.

i loved raising goats..we have 4. it was fun when all the bred goats would have babies and get to find out if it is a body/girl and the colors and naming them..their so soft and cuddly too when they're just a few hours old ^.^ i dont know if i already said how many pets i have so here it is? 4 goats, some chickens, 4 guinee birds, 2 horses, 4 cats, 5 dogs. i cant live without animals..especially dogs..i'm used to their protection. i remember one of the best dogs we had..carrie, he was great but he died years ago and i only see him in dreams now..he taught me how to walk..he was a great friend when i was little :) *sweet memories*

"hey howdy hey! thats me on a yoyo!"

My grandparents have a farm, but they live hours away, they used to have two male goats, they were babies when they came in but we slowly got to watch them grow up, we saw their first little horns poke through as well! when we would get close they would show off and start head butting each other, it was so adoreable! you also have loads of pets, your so lucky! we did have 21 rabbits at one point, but now its just 8. :~( lol.
Your dog taught you how to walk? oh, thats amazing, and so sweet! what breed was he? dogs are fantastic, their so intelligent, I couldn't live without my Charley, she almost died once and I literly broke down, I couldn't stop shaking, animals can have such an affect on us!

rabbits! i never even held one before lol..i have a ferret also and he's all slippery. carrie was a dachshund mix with long brown hair and very fat.XD. yeah its sad when pets die..i already had three die.carrie of heart attack, pattie(dachshund) of poisoning and tate(yorkshire terrier) was tethered up outside with patty and she got scared and tangled her line around his and strung him up and broke his neck..my mom found him dangling dead..i'm glad i didn't. we never used a run line for our dogs ever again. its painful to bury them. i'm the grave digger for all our animals..we have our own pet semetary..some of them we're my special friends..some i watched went through death struggles..sometimes i had to hold them down so they wouldn't hurt themselves..they look so flat when they die and small..

"hey howdy hey! thats me on a yoyo!"

aww, Dachshunds are lovely. my dog is a cavalier king charles spaniel. she is so beautiful.
you've never held a rabbit before? it sounds strange since I cant remember life without rabbits! but I guess thats the same with you and horses. there was a point where we had constant rabbit litters, we didn't breed them it just happened! lol. but it was wonderful watching them grow up, especially when they hadn't learned to hop, they just... crawled! lol.

I hate it when pets die. your mum found her dangling? god thats awful. so many of our rabbits have died that we've just grown imune to it, they were dropping every day, we were digging endless graves. I had to hold one of ours when she was dying, it was terrible, the next door neiybours were taunting me as well, they didn't see what was going on, then I lifted her body up and they all just gasped. its the one down side to owning pets, the death. but theres so many good things!

I hate it when my pets die. My old cat, Houston, was the hardest. He had a tumor behind his eye and we had to put him to sleep fast because it was causing him a lot of pain. My old dog, Rudy, helped me learn how to walk. We were both babies and I was crawling at the time we got him. I would grab onto his fur and pull myself up then try to walk with him, but either he would start running or try to lick me. It was great! He was a German Shepherd. Sadly he died three years ago of old age. I have four dogs right now. Two Pits named Rivers and Caesar. A German Shepherd named Boomer, and a Siberian Husky mix named Storm. I love rabbits. They are so cute. My nephew has one named Jellybean. She likes to dig in the dirt and then lay in it for the coolness. I want a Chinchilla really bad. They are really cute. When I lived in the city the kids that lived up the street from us had one and I used to go over there to see it. They run really fast. It's crazy how fast they are.

cool! we both have something in common :D dogs are so wonderful..i wouldn't mind having me a husky one of these days..maybe even a pitbull..since i'm gonna be living alone probably. i want a big, protective dog XD. right now our turkey is our guard dog.he walks back and forth in front of our door and gobbles XD. we had people stop by and take pics of him because of his unusual coloring..he's grey with black and white splashes all over his feathers like someone flung paint all over him.and he has sky blue eyes. not many of his breed are around and their practically extinct..only a few hundred in the us left or probably even less now..sad. their so eye-catching.

"hey howdy hey! thats me on a yoyo!"

Dogs, horses, and cats are the best for me. In elementary school we used to go to this farm thing and they had turkeys there. I've never really liked them. They kinda scare me. LoL...We have a rooster that is really mean. He will attack anyone except for my brother. None of us know why. All birds scare me, but I like baby chickens and ducks.

awwww! baby chickies! i watched one of ours hatch once..such pretty moment ^.^ she turned out to be a cute lil white chicken. really affectionate too. we had alot of mean roosters..i remember when my brother punted one like a football..stupid thing would'nt quit attacking. i had this one rooster though..he was really nice and when it stormed i'd go outside and put a small blanket around him and pick him up and bring him inside to my room then i would put him in a basket and he'd fall asleep lol

"hey howdy hey! thats me on a yoyo!"

Baby chicks are really cute. Baby ducks are even cuter tho. I love baby ducks. My other aunt had a rooster that couldn't crow. It would try and try, but nothing ever came out. LoL It was really sad.

XD poor thing! when our roosters just start out crowing they sound like dying animals and it scares me XD lol

"hey howdy hey! thats me on a yoyo!"

Yea they can get pretty annoying sometimes. Our donkeys can get really annoying too. They like to make a lot of noise for no reason. Once one starts the other does too.

LOL that sounds like my guinees! they shriek though...for along time XD

"hey howdy hey! thats me on a yoyo!"

Today I was watching The Black Stallion and I was thinking why do you think they stopped with just The Black Stallion and The Black Stallion Returns? I wish they would have gone further into the series with movies cause I love them.

its been awhile since i've seen it..i saw some clips on "youtube" i want to buy it now..i could get it at walmart for 5 bucks. yeah i know what you mean..they should come out with more but i dont know if they'll be as good since you know how some movies go nowadays. it would be cool to see an animated version of it.

"hey howdy hey! thats me on a yoyo!"

Yea I agree about the animated version. I think if they were going to continue with the series then they should just start all over with a new horse and boy because I hate it when they change the origional people that played the characters in the movie.

yeah.then it would look weird. i wonder if they ever would. hopefully they would put heart and dedication into it..horse films just dont seem to draw a crowd anymore..i wish dreamworks would pop out a few more horsey films like "black beauty" "black stallion" or maybe "silver brumby" or something but i heard they closed down their animation place so no more cool horsey films. :(
maybe one of these days i'll try and make one..thats the kind of stuff i'm heading for anyway. :)

"hey howdy hey! thats me on a yoyo!"

Horse movies haven't been that popular anyways. There should be a lot more. That would be cool if you did make some more horse movies. If I was good at that kind of thing I would want to do it too.

poor horsies! it would be cool if they made a spirit series..just something cool to watch on tv when i'm bored..or bring back on the "silver brumby series" i've never seen it but i'v heard and seen some pics and thought that was interesting :)

"hey howdy hey! thats me on a yoyo!"

A Spirit series would be great. Any horse series would be good though. I'm interested in seeing the new movie, "Flicka". Even though they changed the main character into a girl I think it should be pretty good.

i heard about that movie. i'm probably going to see that.i heard from some people that a horse got killed during the making of it :( poor thing..wonder how it died.

"hey howdy hey! thats me on a yoyo!"

Yea I've been hearing that too. I'm pretty sure it was an accident. Atleast I hope it was.

now i heard that two horses were killed..i sure hope it was an accident..i'll probably see it anyway :) oh well..things happen

"hey howdy hey! thats me on a yoyo!"

Yea, I think people are making a bigger deal out of it though. I'm pretty sure that it happened by accident for both horses and I doubt that the Humane Society or any other organization let that go uninvestigated.

I havn't been on this for a while. lol.

The silver brumby series was quite good, though it was very much for children. loved the theme music!

Has anyone here watched "Dreamer"?

No, I haven't seen Dreamer. I want to see it really badly though. I'm thinking of buying it this week. Have you seen it? Oh and we missed you in the conversations :) LoL.

I havn't seen it, I want to as well, Dakota Fanning is one of my fav actresses. I want to get it from the library.

aww, thank you! My E-mail messed up and didn't tell me when my entries were replyed to, after a while I figured it out! lol.

Yea Dakota Fanning is a really good actress. My E-Mail has gotten messed up too but I come on here a lot cause I like to look at movies and people, so I usually end up checking the boards anyways.

yea, I do sometimes, but some people on here, especially on the Tom Felton board, are really horrible! you give your opinion and they take it as a personal insult at them and they start verbally attacking you! only some though.

Yea that's how it is on the Flicka and Vin Diesel boards. I don't understand why they take everything so personally. Everyone has different opinions.

lol its like that alot on boards that are visited alot..you should see it over at the jurassic park movies..dang. i never post anything though because theres some pretty pyschotic people over there XD. i think people with mental illneses (really bad ones) shouldn't go on chatrooms or forums..i've seen a few and they just start everything and think their illness(some admit it) is an excuse..i think they only hurt themselves more. yeah..back on subject. i really want to see dreamer..i might buy it also...what i'm really looking forward to is "cars" i cant go to the theater so i'm waiting for it on dvd. and toy story 3. yeah!!!
oh yeah i want to tell you guys that i'm going on vacation for two and half weeks in germany and ireland so i wont be on here..so goodbye!!!

"hey howdy hey! thats me on a yoyo!"

I want to see Cars and Toy Story 3 too! The boards can get pretty crazy. People want to prove that they are right and everything like that. Have fun in Germany and Ireland! I'm going on vacation too, but not until next week.

Toy story 3! cool I didn't know there was going to be a third. awesome.
yea, people like to think there more then they are, so they lie, mostly its "I dated this actor" its so annoying.

oh cool! have fun in Germany and Ireland!
and shy_gurl have fun on your holiday!

i'm also going on holiday in a week, to Exmoor for pony trekking and then to London to see the Phantom of the opera and Mary Poppins! woot!

I've only heard a rumor about Toy Story 3, but I would see it if it really came out. There are a few lies that are really annoying. "I dated this actor", "I know them from school", and "I live down the street from them" are the ones that are really annoying to me. I mean they could be true but we don't really know that, so what's the point in telling us?

I cant stand it when people say that! I mean 1) Its very unlikely to be true 2) If their going to lie, at least make it believable and when people suspect you dont start this great huge argument and 3)If it is true, I really dont care and wouldn't believe them anyway. LOL.

Right LoL... I just don't understand some people. It's kind of funny though if you think about it. I go on certain boards just to laugh cause it's so ridiculous.

yea, I know what you mean, but I still dont like it when people are so horrible to each other.

I know this is a weird question, but, can you tell me how to rub down a horse?

All you have to do is use a curry comb or sweat scraper and get rid of the excess sweat. Make sure you cool your horse down before though, so the horse isn't hot anymore.

is that it? really? I thought it was more complicated then that. thanks!
is it hard to look after a horse?

Yea that's it LoL. It's not hard if you're willing to do what you have to do. It's like taking care of any other pet, but you have to definately make sure you give a horse enough exercise. Also make sure it's fed, watered, and groomed. I don't think it's that hard because I love horses and I would do anything to take good care of them. If you aren't sure how to do something look it up on the internet or read a book on horse care. My aunt made sure I did research on horse care before she let me get my first horse.

thats right though, if you really care for an animal then taking care of it doesn't seem so hard. one of my fav qoutes "sometimes I stop and think, is it worth it all, then one look at my horse and I realise- it is" lol.

I think I need to do a bit of research, just encase!

Research really helps, even if you think you know how and what to do.

yep yep yep!
do you play the piano? if so do you know where I can get Spirit piano music?

Yea I play the piano. Where can I get that music?

Thea reason you don't pull on the horses mouth is because they will flip over onto you if you tip them off balance. You should really lean forward and put your weight onto the forhand and reach your arms to the point of their shoulders and hold on there.
I just wanted to write that as a safety concern.

I ride english and do walk trot canter gallop and jump up to 3 foot 6.
Galloping is rocky but your not supposed to sit to it. You should be in a two point or half seat.

It took me a lot of years and a lot of spills to get where I am. I have never been bucked off. I have had horse intentionally try to buck me off and have had horses rear on me but the only times I really fall off Is if I get off balance or the horse spins in tight circles which a horse I used to ride would do and then she would spin the other way fast. I got her out of that habbit quik!

I have a 15.2hh Chestnut arabian stallion flaxen main and tail with lost of roan flecks on him.. a big blaze and 4 stockings.. He's being trained by me in western pleasure, reining, park, native costume and hunter also halter.

Yea it is nicer. Well I'm leaving today for my trip, so I won't be on until probably Thursday. Bye!
