Answer 5

I have owned horses for a littl eover 12 years. I started off with ponies, as i was little, and now i own and compete very successfully on Appaloosa horses.



I compete in Dressage, Hack, Hunter under Saddle, Hunt Seat Equitation, Western Pleasure, Western Equitation and Horsemanship, Trail and Bareback. I also use to compete in SHowjumping and Eventing, and sporting. I also do SHowmanship and Halter, though my horse is a performance horse, not so much a halter.





I was goign to Nationals last month, but my horse got sick, so i worked up there instead, it was fun, but it would have bene my last youth show, so its a bit disappointing.



Anyway, great to see a Horse category because now the questions are categorised, rather than scouting teh General all the time.

Answer 6

I ride both only because at 4 I started riding English and jumping. When I was 8 my parents got into breeding and showing Quarter Horses so I started western so I could get my all around titles. But I also did 3 day eventing -dressage.

Answer 7

Western <33

Answer 8

Western

Answer 9

Western

Answer 10

I Ride English I Think It Is Easier And With My Family Being Really Rich And All I Am Only Aloud To Ride English!

Answer 11

I love them, too!! I started out riding western, but switched to english after a year or two because I wanted to jump. After I started riding english, I learned dressage and jumping and began to show in 3-day eventing, which is my absolute favorite! It is such a thrill! Every now and then, I do like to borrow a friend's horse so I can just go neck-rein on the trail, though.

Answer 12

I love horses a lot!! I ride english as well as western. I prefer english... Jumping is so fun! speed is fun too! and do you ride english or western?

Answer 13

I ran barrels and poles, I was never too wild about western judged events, with the exception of reining. I have always wanted to jump, and now that I am older, I can appreciate dressage, so when I start back riding, it will probably be English.

Answer 14

I ride western. We have 4 horses: 2 Quarters and 2 Paints. All 4 are geldings but we are thinking of getting a few mares.

Answer 15

I ride Western, although one day I hope tn compeo ride English and be in competetions and stuff like that. I absolutely love horses as well!

Answer 16

i ride both. i started out western when i was little but switched to english to jumped. i got bored with english so switched back to mainly western for trail riding and barrel racing but every now and then i will still ride english because my horse knows both and i would like to keep that skill.

Answer 17

Trails, Western Pleasure, Durssage, Hunt. Jump, Barrels, Carting, Reining, Trick training, I Love All Things Horse

I have been rideing since i was very young and I have riden in many diffrent disaplines. I love them all but there is nothing like a good old trail ride in my oooo so worn in western saddle,

Answer 18

I love horses too! I ride English. It's fun but it's harder than western.

Answer 19

WESTERN! On a great Quarter Horse!



There is nothing else!



Barrel Racing, Cutting, anything that involves speed! =0)



Western Pleasure is to 'showy', and political for me, and English is too proper for this Country Girl! LOL

Answer 20

English!!

Answer 21

Initally rode western because i would hold onto the horn for balance. in the past year i have taken lessons and learned to ride english. English is more work but worth it. Saddle is lighter for horse and rider. plus the saddle pads are much more cuter in english style!!

Answer 22

I am blessed to have a quarter horse that has the versatility to go western or english. He is from cutting horse blood so we can work cattle, or step into a dressage arena. The best of both worlds and we have a blast doing anything and everything.

Answer 23

I have a short stocky quarter horse (14.2 hands) and we ride western. We don't really rodeo much. We do little time trials and just small bets or something close to home with friends, but thats about it. His name is RC Too Much Luck or Lucky for short. His nickname from the trainer is Denis The Menace though because of his attitude, and the markings on his face look kind of like a turkey. He's my best friend and all I could ever ask for. He's just like a little kid though. He tests your patients, but knows when to stop. I love him though. He's got a lot of character too. He loves country music especially George Strait.
