STACI

2011-06-02 22:14:54 UTC

Breed: Don't really have one. I like any horse with a willing personality, that wants to please, and will try anything.. though I am fond of the arabian. Those wide eyes, high tail set, and prance are a sight to see.

Color: I like grays, and Buckskins, also the unique coloring of paints.. but I'm not partial to any color.

Facial Marking: Star, Strip, Snip- doesn't matter.. the overall quality of the horse and it's attitude matters more to me. My mare has a star though.

Leg Marking: Socks- my mare has only one on her back right! lol

Discipline: I ride western.. but I'm not one of those snots that go around saying western's the best. You never know if you'll like something until you try it. If I was given the opportunity to try english, I'd do it in a heartbeat.

Brush/Grooming tool: Rubber curry.. my horse loves it, and it gives me a good workout:P

Horse Shampoo/Conditioner: Mane and Tail (only kind I've ever used)

Thing to watch my horse do: Run in the pasture and kick up her heels, or make funny faces when trying new foods. It's quite entertaining(:

Activity to do with my horse: Jump, go for walks on the trail, learn new tricks

Activity to do on my horse: Bareback, Trails

Horse you have ever met/owned: My first horse.. which I own right now. A morab mare named Tilly

2011-06-02 22:07:27 UTC

BREED: Warmbloods (they are pretty much a mish mash now, so while there are registries, I think the breeds are pretty related). They have been bred for centuries to do what I want, and they have size and power.

COLOR: Bay.

FACIAL marking: star and snip with no strip,

LEG marking: socks just over the ankle.

TOOL: I have a really soft rubber thingie that my horse LOVES on his face. It isn't a curry....it has little rubber "hair" like things on it.

SHAMPOO: I love Vetrolin anything

HORSE DOES: Itch their face with their back leg.

ACTIVITY: Graze

ACTIVITY ON: Canter Half Pass

BEST HORSE: Illini. A little quarter horse I had as a kid that would do anything with a happy attitude.

FAVE IVE EVER DONE? Jump 5 foot, but that was before I got injured.

I Ride Ponies

2011-06-03 18:26:03 UTC

Breed: Out of Loyalty I really should say Arab, (my darling pony is mostly arab) but heck, its her arab side that I hate. She didn't get many Arab characteristics, but she certainly got the high strung part. I love Welsh Ponies.

Color: I like Bold Paints, Bays/Blacks with lots of Chrome, Cremellos and Palominos.

Facial Marking: Nice big blazes

Leg Marking: Bold Stockings

Dicipline: Dressage

Brush/Grooming tool to use on your horse: Hmmm, my little bently slip not face brush. Shakira (my pony) cannot toterate a body brush on her face, so it was always dirty until I found bently's face brush.

Horse shampoo, conditioner: Show Sheen

Thing to watch your horse do: I like watching my horse in her stall, or paddock.

Thing your horse (or a horse you know) does: Full body shakes at canter. If theres one thing over the past year or so that improved my two point, its learning how to do it while your horse was shaking.

Activity to do with your horse: I like just standing in her stall massaging her. She loves it too.

Activity to do on your horse: Ride.

Horse you have ever met/owned: Shakira

Thing you have ever done with a horse: Ride bareback through a river way over the little ponies head. It was so darn fun! I aim to do it on Shakira some day.

BQ: Go swimming on Shakira. I've been gradually building up her confidence with water (Riding her through shallow creeks, wading with her into ponds etc) but Id love to take her to the beach and swim out into the waves.
