1) choose five words to describe your horse?

2) choose five words to describe yourself? fast, friendly, AlwaysHungry, snoopy, adorable



3) do you think bareback riding is bad for the horse's back? No I think its better for the, because they don't have the weight of the saddle on them, and you really have to absorb the horses body to sit the gaits and keep balance. I think its great! You also have to have a bond and a lot of trust with your horse to do bareback.



4) what is your most embarrassing horse related moment? I haven't had any yet :)



5) what is the stupidest thing you have done with or around horses? I don't think I have done anything yet that I can recall :/

7) has there ever been a horse that you were/are afraid of ? Yes the first time I got bucked off, I wouldn't even touch my horse, cause I was breaking him in (my first horse) I wouldn't even go into the field. Now we have the best bond, and the second time he bucked me off I just laughed and got back on :)



8) what kind of music do you listen to (random) I listen to almost anything.



9) do you consider yourself beginner,?novice,intermediate or advanced rider? I'm about a novice going into intermediate.



10) what is something that your horse did once that made you really mad? He bolted when I was leading him down to the field, and he drug me a bit. He got a smack for that and has never done it again.

-chubby -grumpy-sweet -well behaved-handsome

2) choose five words to describe yourself?

- layed back - young -independent -courageous- kind

3) do you think bareback riding is bad for the horse's back?

No? I think getting on from the ground is back because it puts pressure on one side but if you use a mounting block to get on bareback and you're not flopping around everywhere it's fine

4) what is your most embarrassing horse related moment?

Hmm.....when I was really mad at my old trainer and got off and stomped out of the arena... That was very stupid of me but I was like 11 ha long time ago

5) what is the stupidest thing you have done with or around horses? Well after I ride I untacked my horse real fast the I run around with him and he chases me:) and real stupid is when I got thrush remover on my hands and it stunk for weeks!!

6) Is your trainer male or female? (just out of curiosity it's not relevant to anything)

Female

7) has there ever been a horse that you were/are afraid of ? No. I'm not really scared of much accept flying bugs. That's it.

8) what kind of music do you listen to (random)

All kinds

9) do you consider yourself beginner,?novice,intermediate or advanced rider?

I would say intermediate just because I have very good composition but lack a few techniques and I need to help teach my horse as well because it's a team and we advance together .. A rider is only as good as his horse

10) what is something that your horse did once that made you really mad?

He has this thing that when he is in his stall. He puts his ears back an tries to bit people and stuff ( he's a rescue but i don't know if that has anything to so with it) but he is fine when he is out and I go in his stall all the time to clean it out with him in there. I am more mad with the people who dint pay any attention to him and call him mean or vicious and say that he just lifted his leg to kick me... No he didn't he's lifting it so I can pick dirt out (he lifts all his legs up for me right when I set down the last one and some bozo thought he was gonna kick me) haha it just makes me mad. I wish my horse wouldn't do that.

1. Willing, trusting, smart, athletic, and HUNGRY! (ha)



2. Quiet, detail oriented, slightly opinionated, studious, and patient.



3. I don't feel that riding bareback is bad for a horses back, nor do I have any information to persuade me otherwise. Honestly though, I rarely ride bareback.



4. Whenever I am so proud of something my horse and I have been working on and I try to show someone publicly and it's nothing like we practiced. Haha she's shy ;)



5. There are times when I wish I would have handled a situation different or been more on my toes, but that's just how one gains experience.



6. Female



7. Yes. It's scary really what some people's horses are like and how they actually bring them to shows. I fear for both me and my horse sometimes.



8. I don't listen to a whole lot of music.



9. I have a hard time ranking myself because the learning process is never through. I'm more experienced in some areas than others, and therefore it makes it hard to label myself. I am ALWAYS up to hear helpful advice or a new perspective on something.



10. Ugh. What doesn't she do that makes me mad? Ha!

1) choose five words to describe your horse?

Hmmm... sensitive, alert, bestboyinthewholeworld, energetic, and cuddly.

2) choose five words to describe yourself?

Determined, sometimes timid (I HATE that), collected and put together, professional, funny.

3) do you think bareback riding is bad for the horse's back?

No, lol

4) what is your most embarrassing horse related moment?

Hon, there are sooooo many.

5) what is the stupidest thing you have done with or around horses?

Again, there are a whole lot. I'd say the dumbest thing we did (on the part of everyone involved) was when I was 11ish and was allowed to go to the Arab farm across the street with my friends and groom all of the horses and just play with them. I saw the owner leading the horses around by just leadropes looped around their neck with the snap clipped around the rope to make a loop, so my 11 year old self figured that it was fine to tie them up like that as well since I only had one halter. Well, let's just say that the horse pulled back and started hanging herself, everyone was freaking the f**k out and sobbing, and THANK GOD, a couple of nice joggers came by and helped us get her undone. She was okay. I feel so fricken stupid to this day for doing that, even though the whole situation was terribly irresponsible on the owner of the farm's part as well, and to some extent was also irresponsible of my parents (though in their defense they knew nothing about horses at the time).

6) Is your trainer male or female? (just out of curiosity it's not relevant to anything)

Female

7) has there ever been a horse that you were/are afraid of ?

Yep, sure have and I can guarantee that there will be more. Don't get me wrong, I am very confident, but I can't say that new ones don't surprise and scare me once in a while.

8) what kind of music do you listen to (random)

Country, some classic pop/rock and roll type stuff and some current pop/alternative (though I am very picky when I say pop)

9) do you consider yourself beginner,?novice,intermediate or advanced rider?

I consider myself an advanced rider who still has limited experience and is only starting out training. I still have a LOT to learn, but I'm not going to downplay myself.

10) what is something that your horse did once that made you really mad?

Oh gosh, I went to my 4-H levels test and he would not calm down. I was like 13 and the levels instructor was screaming at me to LOPE, LOPE and (at least I felt like) he was just running blindly around the ring. I had zero control and needless to say, lost my test.

1) choose five words to describe your horse?

I've have two horses so I'll do this for each...

Ursula: Soft, fuzzy, lovable, humongous, wobbly

Rags: lanky, unconventional, toothless, comical, performer



2) choose five words to describe yourself?

Introverted, curly, empathetic, artsy, A-type



3) do you think bareback riding is bad for the horse's back?

No, not usually. The purpose of a saddle is to distribute a rider's weight more evenly over the horse's back, and to help the rider balance. It is meant to provide comfort to both horse and rider. However, bareback riding when the rider has a soft and balanced seat should not hurt the horse. If the rider is unbalanced and hard on the horses back, this might hurt the horse. A rough, unbalanced seat is less likely to hurt the horse if there is a saddle involved (though it still could).



4) what is your most embarrassing horse related moment?

I was in the warm up arena at a show, taking Rags over a practice course of jumps. The course was fine until the last fence. It was less than graceful. Rags almost refused but decided to deer-jump this 4' fence at the last second. We landed badly off the last fence and I fell. I wasn't hurt but there were a lot of people watching and my riding instructor was laughing at our ridiculous form.



5) what is the stupidest thing you have done with or around horses?

I decided to mount my grandfather's OTTB bareback and bridleless.. and helmetless... before she had been retrained for pleasure. She took off full speed and as soon as she took a turn I fell off. Again, I wasn't hurt but it was really stupid of me and I could have been hurt.



6) Is your trainer male or female? Female



7) has there ever been a horse that you were/are afraid of ? My Appaloosa filly, Nellie, went through a phase where she was rearing and striking. That made me a little nervous.



8) what kind of music do you listen to (random) alternative rock, punk rock, musicals and soundtracks, classical (particularly baroque era, anything featuring a string orchestra or chamber group, or anything by Vivaldi or Dvorak)



9) do you consider yourself beginner,?novice,intermediate or advanced rider? Most would call me advanced, but I don't like to use those labels. Though I have considerable experience, there is still a vast amount of knowledge and experience I don't have.



10) what is something that your horse did once that made you really mad? Ursula has never done anything to make me mad. Rags has done many things to make me mad, including bite me (in the butt), destroy a brand new blanket in less than 24 hours, pee in the barn aisle and splash it all over my shoes and all over himself (he's done this more than once), get very dirty the night before a show, even though I left him in a clean stall with leg wraps, hood and a sheet that evening (he seriously gets poo stuffed in the eye holes of his sheet because he uses his poo as a pillow at night), and buck my fiance off. But despite all of his deviant behavior, I love him most!

1) My horse Eli is Curious, Dorky, Young, Playful, Intelligent

2) Kind, Ambitious, Optimistic, Charismatic, Awesome :)

3) I don't think riding bareback is bad for your horse if you have a correct seat and your not riding for long periods or riding all the time.

4) My friend and I were riding double bareback on one of my horses when I surprisingly got my "monthly gift". I told her and we had to ride back to the barn as fast as possible. To this day we still laugh about it, oops..

5) My two friends and I dressed up as Native Americans and we painted our horses like Indian horses and than we rode down the highway.

6) Both my trainers are female

7) Yes, I have this really nasty evil horse right now that always tries to bite/kick me. I'm not super afraid of her, but I just don't trust her. I still have to ride her a few times a week though and I just watch my back.

8) At the moment; Classical

9) Intermediate. There's always new things to learn!

10) I was doing around the world at a fun show on my horse Abby and while I was sitting backwards and she was loping she decided to buck 3 times and I went off. I just laughed and hopped right back on though. I wasn't really mad, I thought it was funny more than anything.



Yes I did. Horses are AMAZING!

Or when I was petting his head and he pushed me :( but I wasnt really mad.. mostly surprised and disapointed because I don't want him to start to do this bad habit.

3) As long as you don't really bounce a lot when trotting I think it's fine.

4) When I missed the mounting block and fell on the ground.

5) I am the type that will stand directly behind my horse because I trust her. I have also sat under her before.

6) I don't have one. I train my own horse.

7) Yes, I had one that was out to kill me. I wasn't scared per say, just very weary of her. I didn't go into the pasture without keeping an eye on her at all times.

8) Classic Rock/Rock

9) I am at least Intermediate. Possibly advanced. Never thought of it.

10) She tossed her head during worming and got wormer in her eye.

1) (based off of the horse I owned for 7 years...miss my boy!)Mischievious, friendly, goofy, quirky, pumpkin

2) Awkward, prankster, goofy, quirky, pumpkin

3) I think that bareback is fine, but is best if accompanied by a proper bareback pad, and a rider that has a steady or light seat and secure leg

4) When the horse I was riding refused an oxer and, after my foot came out of my right iron and I was barely hanging on from the left side, hugging her neck, she changed her mind and jumped from a stand-still. I stayed on and pulled myself back into the saddle as she was trotting away, though, so technically in show it wouldn't have counted as a refusal or fall, so it wasn't all embarrassing I guess...still an awkward ride, though.

5) Smacked myself in the face with my crop

6) Female

7) Never a horse that I STAYED afraid of. The one that comes to mind didn't scare me so much as intimidate me if that makes sense. I handled him all the time, and got pretty comfortable with him, but the first few times I worked with him I didn't have the best time.

8) Progressive rock (a number of different groups; genesis is my favorite, though), alternative/indie (I love explosions in the sky, penguin cafe orchestra, foster the people), folk, and taylor swift. I do love sonata arctica, though, so there's power metal in there too haha.

9) Intermediate. I have high standards for what qualifies as advanced, and I don't meet those standards yet. In addition, I think an advanced rider has to do more than just know how to ride; you have to know how to maintain your horse, the barn, the equipment. You need to know how to determine a horse's feed and how to diagnose some basic issues, etc.

10) He broke a peppertree...I was very little (maybe 10) and took him to the new arena. He saw the baby peppertree and locked onto it as we were trotting, and snapped the trunk. I felt awful, but looking back on it is pretty funny.



Sure! :)

10. i was walking down to the corral to give my filly some feed, with some medicine mixed in, and my HUGE paint gelding comes behind me and steps on the back of my boot and knees me in the leg so i fall down and feed goes everywhere. and i know he did it on purpose cause he went straight for the food.... and he's a fatty (16.1h 1300lbs)
