So I've seen other things like this...and I wanted to try it out. Also just want to see what people will say. Starting with the poll and favorites.

1. What discipline do you ride? Why did you pick that one?

2. For those with a horse: is your horse teaching you, or are you teaching the horse? Or were you both inexperienced and you're learning together?

3. Your favorite breed, but choose one!?

4. Favorite color?

5. What's your preference mare vs. gelding vs. stallion, in terms of riding them?

6. Do you show? How often? Big or little?

Some would you rathers:

7. Would you rather have a sensitive, light, fun, but spooky horse, or a kinda lazy, totally laid back, but bombproof horse?

8. Ride hunters or jumpers?

9. Go foxhunting or ride dressage?

10. Have a horse that is too big for you or a horse that is too small for you (in height only, you AREN'T too heavy!!)?

11. Fall off rather painlessly but clearly through your own fault, or get minorly injured but clearly through the horse's fault?

Okay...on to the next thing...quiz time!

12. Did you know there is a difference between buckskin and dun? If you did tell me without googling it!

13. How long have you been riding?

14. Can you tell when a horse is lame?

Okay, one last question:

15. If you could own a horse farm anywhere in the world, where would it be?

I'll answer that one for you -- Middleburg, VA, USA.

Hope you had fun!

1. What discipline do you ride? Why did you pick that one?



Dressage, I did english/western, then jumpers, then hunters, and I realized I love the challenge dressage offers as well as just knowing everything I need to do when I get into the ring and being the one in charge of doing it.



2. For those with a horse: is your horse teaching you, or are you teaching the horse? Or were you both inexperienced and you're learning together?



Don't own, but I personally prefer learning together to some degree. I like teaching the horse, but no matter what you're both going to learn a lot just from the experience aspect of it.



3. Your favorite breed, but choose one!?



Um...that's difficult, I love dutch warmbloods though, gorgeous. But they're mostly chestnut (the ones I know) and I prefer big, dark bays XD



4. Favorite color?



Dark bay :3



5. What's your preference mare vs. gelding vs. stallion, in terms of riding them?



Gelding, but mares are smart. I've only ever been on a stallion once and I mean I didn't see much difference because he was a pretty calm stallion in comparison to some you see.



6. Do you show? How often? Big or little?



Yes, just started again. I hadn't shown in a year before last week because I picked up dressage a year ago, but we're hoping to really make an appearance next year. Big or little shows I assume? Uh, when I was a hunter I did big shows, I kinda like that frantic feeling of everyone rushing about.



Some would you rathers:



7. Would you rather have a sensitive, light, fun, but spooky horse, or a kinda lazy, totally laid back, but bombproof horse?



Sensitive, light, fun, but spooky. Gives it a challenge.



8. Ride hunters or jumpers?



Hunters, always liked that better. So much less stress XD



9. Go foxhunting or ride dressage?



I'd love to go foxhunting for a day with my friend who goes, but dressage is where it's at!



10. Have a horse that is too big for you or a horse that is too small for you (in height only, you AREN'T too heavy!!)?



Too big, the bigger the better!



11. Fall off rather painlessly but clearly through your own fault, or get minorly injured but clearly through the horse's fault?



I've had both, and the first is a lot easier to explain even when you do get injured, so the first XD plus you learn from it.



Okay...on to the next thing...quiz time!



12. Did you know there is a difference between buckskin and dun? If you did tell me without googling it!



Yeah, I took 4-H thanks XD Easiest way of saying it is, for the most part, buckskins don't have dorsal stripes and they are a color and they have to carry the cream gene (pretty sure XD). They always have black tails. Duns have to have dorsal stripes, typically have markings on their legs, and there's red duns, brown duns, etc., and they have the dun gene and there's the whole Ee Aa and the nonsense cr with Fjords which are always dun. (only know this because I ride one and we were messing with a genetics chart cus he's red dun XD)



13. How long have you been riding?



um...eight years consecutively ten if you count the two years of pleasure riding before that



14. Can you tell when a horse is lame?



Yeah, they don't put weight on the leg when they stand (usually, unless it's not so bad), and they limp which is most visible at the trot and you can feel it in the saddle too



Okay, one last question:



15. If you could own a horse farm anywhere in the world, where would it be?

1. I ride western. I picked it because there are a lot more western shows around here then English.



2. A little nit of both. I don't own the horse I ride, shes a lesson horse but I am riding the most difficult horse there. It depends on what were doing shes only eight years old and even though she knows how to do the barrel runs like a pro I still teach ehr many exercises and she teaches me when just doing runs.



3. Oh god thats hard, I have mostly rose Qaurter horses my whole life but I rode an arabian not long ago and I fell in love with the breed...



4. I LOVE Grullo's. They are so cute. I also love silver buckskins and dapples.



5. Mare!



6. I show on a 14.2 Hh pony. I haven't been showing for long and just at a near by saddle club.



Some would you rathers:



7. A sensitive, light, fun, but spooky horse! It would be a challenge and a thrill. Also the horse I ride seems to spook at everything so i'm used to it XD



8. Jumper



9. Foxhunting...



10. To big for me bt really neither xD



11. Fall off rather painlessly but clearly through your own fault. If I know what I did wrong I can try to fix it and I know what i'm trying to do. it's easier to fix my own mistake then my horses



Okay...on to the next thing...quiz time!



12. Did you know there is a difference between buckskin and dun? If you did tell me without googling it! Yess, Duns have a black stripe going from there withers to there tail.



13. How long have you been riding? This is my sixth year in the saddle but my five year od real lessons. My first year was just being lead around for five dollers once a week for the summer xD



14. Can you tell when a horse is lame? I've never experienced it before but I think so. Mainly if the horse is limping? And if there is swelling or heat in the leg... Right? Lmfao



Okay, one last question:



15. If you could own a horse farm anywhere in the world, where would it be? Here in Canada BUT in Alberta. I could want my farm to be at the bottom of a small mountain because there will be many trails and stuff. Plus ALberta is beautiful <3

1. What discipline do you ride? Why did you pick that one? English, because that's the way I started out. I learned how to ride in an English saddle :-)



2. For those with a horse: is your horse teaching you, or are you teaching the horse? Or were you both inexperienced and you're learning together? I don't have a horse, unfortunately. It's my goal in life to though one day!



3. Your favorite breed, but choose one!? Friesians, defiantly.



4. Favorite color? Black.



5. What's your preference mare vs. gelding vs. stallion, in terms of riding them? Mares can be a little hot headed in my experience, as there is no operation to castrate them, but some are just as calm as geldings! Geldings are my favourite, it's through no fault of the mares but I've always liked the boys more:3 And I've never ridden a stallion before.



6. Do you show? How often? Big or little? I show jump, more than anything. I don't live to show, but every so often our yard will hold a little competition and we'll all compete.



Some would you rathers:



7. Would you rather have a sensitive, light, fun, but spooky horse, or a kinda lazy, totally laid back, but bombproof horse? That's a hard one, I would say laid back though..



8. Ride hunters or jumpers? Hunters.



9. Go foxhunting or ride dressage? Dressage.



10. Have a horse that is too big for you or a horse that is too small for you (in height only, you AREN'T too heavy!!)? Too small! Paha, I'm only 5ft1, nothings too small for me :P



11. Fall off rather painlessly but clearly through your own fault, or get minorly injured but clearly through the horse's fault? Painlessly, of course. I will always admit it is my fault if it is!



Okay...on to the next thing...quiz time!



12. Did you know there is a difference between buckskin and dun? If you did tell me without googling it! Yep, dun horses have a black stripe going down their back. My lease horse was always rumoured to be dun, but found out she was buckskin when she didn't have the stripe.



13. How long have you been riding? 6 years.



14. Can you tell when a horse is lame? Yes.



Okay, one last question:



15. If you could own a horse farm anywhere in the world, where would it be? My house in England, boring, but it would be amazing to wake up in the morning and hear the horses before school.

1. What discipline do you ride? Why did you pick that one? I currently ride hunters, but it wasn't like I wanted to do that from the getco. I really only am doing it because it's popular in my area, but once I start advancing more I'd love to start doing jumpers.



2. For those with a horse: is your horse teaching you, or are you teaching the horse? Or were you both inexperienced and you're learning together? I think we're learning together. Mainly because before leasing him I rode horses who weren't push button by ANY means, by their training was top notch. They still have their own little quirks and personalities, but they had training to back it up. The horse I lease right now has oodles of potential, but hasn't had that top notch training. So he's teaching me HOW to fix his bad habits, and I'm the one fixing his bad habits. ;)



3. Your favorite breed, but choose one!? Oh gosh. Arabian or Haflinger.. Arabian or Haflinger... I can't answer this! xD



4. Favorite color? Probably black. I'm really not partial to one color over the other (though, personally, bay would be my least favorite color most likely), but I've always liked the look of black horses. :)



5. What's your preference mare vs. gelding vs. stallion, in terms of riding them? I don't have a preference, besides that they have to be a gelding or a mare. xD I'd probably go with mare for owning though, cleaning sheaths is no fun.



6. Do you show? How often? Big or little? I do show, and I usually do between 3 and 6 shows a year. For now they're all little shows, but I'm hoping to be showing on the Arab Circuit by the end of this year. :)



Some would you rathers:



7. Would you rather have a sensitive, light, fun, but spooky horse, or a kinda lazy, totally laid back, but bombproof horse? Sensitive, light, fun, but spooky horse. You can train the spook out, you can't train personality out.



8. Ride hunters or jumpers? Jumpers. Though I'm a hunter. Oh, the irony. xD



9. Go foxhunting or ride dressage? Ride dressage.



10. Have a horse that is too big for you or a horse that is too small for you (in height only, you AREN'T too heavy!!)? Well, I prefer ponies over anything else... but I don't want a horse TOO small for me. I'm pretty short (5'3) so larger ponies fit me perfectly. xD And since on a horse/pony that's too small for you, your equitation can be compensated, I'll go with too big. But I want to make clear I prefer ponies.



11. Fall off rather painlessly but clearly through your own fault, or get minorly injured but clearly through the horse's fault? Rather painlessly with it being my fault. Fixing your own issues is almost always easier than fixing the horse's anyway. ;)



Okay...on to the next thing...quiz time!



12. Did you know there is a difference between buckskin and dun? If you did tell me without googling it! The dun has a dorsal stripe.



13. How long have you been riding? 6 years.



14. Can you tell when a horse is lame? It's when one or more of their legs are being "favored" because the horse is in pain for some reason. Some signs of this are limping, head bobbing, tripping, etc.



Okay, one last question:



15. If you could own a horse farm anywhere in the world, where would it be? If I owned a horse farm, I really don't care where! xD

1. Gaited equitation/pleasure and beginner dressage. The gaited stuff I was introduced to in college and just fell in love with it. The dressage was because I wanted to keep up with riding over the summer but there were no gaited barns near me that offered what I needed (equitation coaching). Dressage was the next best thing and I really like it.



2. I think we are both learning together



3. Paso Fino



4. Bay/Seal Bay



5. Gelding



6. Yes, not very often (so far once a season, due to money restrictions and horse restrictions), breed shows.



7. laid back, I can't stand spooky horses



8. Jumpers looks fun but scares the daylights out of me to try >.<



9. Dressage



10. Big, I'm already small so it would look even more awkward on a to small horse



11. Painless and my fault



12. it is the gene, they are different genes. to be a dun they must have a dorsal stripe also.



13. 3 years



14. When their natural gait is off or they are expressing any sort of discomfort when moving or standing.



15. Colorado, preferably in the mountains.

1. What discipline do you ride? Why did you pick that one?

--Western, reining and cutting. I live in Texas...not too much English going on here. Also, I love the riding. I've ridden English a couple times, and just never got too in to it. The whole jumping/dressage...meh.



2. For those with a horse: is your horse teaching you, or are you teaching the horse? Or were you both inexperienced and you're learning together?

--A little bit of both. The horse I have now wasn't my first horse, but he was my first green horse. He was badly trained when I got him, and it a while to get to the point we are today. He's taught me his quirks and how to work around them, and I think I'm teaching him not to be a brat, haha.



3. Your favorite breed, but choose one!?

--Quarter Horse.



4. Favorite color?

--Bays. I also think chestnuts can be pretty, but I really love bay horses.



5. What's your preference mare vs. gelding vs. stallion, in terms of riding them?

Geldings. I had a mare, and she was a sweetheart, but I really think I bond better with geldings. I don't know why. I'd NEVER try a stallion, haha.



6. Do you show? How often? Big or little?

--Yes. Uh...when I was in high school I showed a lot more. I'm in college now, so I don't have as much time. I've done mostly little shows, with a few slightly larger-scale rodeos here and there.



7. Would you rather have a sensitive, light, fun, but spooky horse, or a kinda lazy, totally laid back, but bombproof horse?

--My horse is the first one, and I love him to bits. But honestly, it's exhausting sometimes. I wish sometimes I could just sit back and not constantly worry about what's going to make him flip out. He's getting better, but we've still got a long way to go. So, can I have an in-between?



8. Ride hunters or jumpers?

--Um...hunters? I don't ride English.



9. Go foxhunting or ride dressage?

--Foxhunting sounds neat. But I've never done either.



10. Have a horse that is too big for you or a horse that is too small for you (in height only, you AREN'T too heavy!!)?

--Too small, I'd think. Horses for reining and cutting can't be too big, though ideally I'd get one just right for me. But yeah, I tend to go for smaller horses that are agile. Better for my disciplines.



11. Fall off rather painlessly but clearly through your own fault, or get minorly injured but clearly through the horse's fault?

--My own fault but painless. It'd be embarrassing, but at least I'm not hurt.



12. Did you know there is a difference between buckskin and dun? If you did tell me without googling it!

--Yes! I couldn't give you the whole technical term, but I know duns have black dorsal stripes and stockings, right? They can also be different colors, whereas buckskins are just that grayish/cream color. By the way, I bet a lot of people use Google, haha. I may be wrong, but I think that's what it is.



13. How long have you been riding?

--Since I was itty-bitty. But I guess I REALLY started when I was 5, like with lessons and real riding. So 15 years.



14. Can you tell when a horse is lame?

--Yeah, most of the time. Sometimes I can't, but typically I can, especially if it's glaringly obvious.



15. If you could own a horse farm anywhere in the world, where would it be?

--I don't know. Texas is doing okay for me. I don't really want a horse farm, though.

1. English because I live in the uk.

2. Don't habe a horse but I'd love a horse that would teach me.

3. Connemara, especially dun ones.

4. Dun, dapple grey, bay or albino. I just can't choose one!!

5. Dunno, I mostly ride geldings so can't give a fair oppinion.

6. Not currently but I'd absolutely love to.

7. Sensitive fun spooky horse. I mean what fun is there otherwise?

8. Erm...jumpers??

9. Never done fox hunting so...

10. Too big because jumping on a too small horse would be strange. Id have either though.

11. Fall off when it was my fault. The reason is if the horse does something wrong once, it's more likely to do it again.

12. Yeah I do but it's just slipped right out of my head.

13. On and off since I was four but I'm getting into it seriously now.

14. Probably not, unless it's really obvious like limping.

15. Highlands of Scotland or Dublin. For family history reasons. Plus I love it there.

1) Western Pleasure. I don't show or anything, mainly because english saddles don't "work" for me and I can't afford all that stupid show tack.



2) We're both inexperinced and learning from each other.



3) Appaloosas. They're colorful and spirited.



4) Bay. A nice cherry bay...



5) I have all mares, and have never rode a gelding before, and I absolutely adhore those testosterone driven stallions...



6) Never...I want to though.



7) Kind of spooky horse. More of a challenge, but on my more scared days, I have my 20 year old mare Kish.



8) Hunters...I guess. I ride western myself.



9) Dressage..my mare Penny loves dressage even though I ride her western...



10) Too big. I hate feeling like a giant.



11) My fault. Less pain.



12) Duns have a different mane color, right? Or they don't have the black legs...IDK!



13) I rode my first horse at three, but didn't own a horse until I was 10. So, 2 years.



14) Yes. They have akward strides and show clear signs of pain.



15) Wyoming. No one would bother me out there and the land if empty and pretty.

Alright here we go~

1. I ride western, and im not very sure why i chose it but i fell in love my first time in the saddle, but plan on learning english!

2. Were learning together! She came from miles away and only knew how to act around cows haha, so were both learning the thrill of weaving through poles, and turning like a dime around a barrel. (god im cheasy haha)

3. Lord Quarter horses all the way, their so versatile.

4. Blue roans! ( cause my horse is a blue roan of course!)

5.Mares >.>

6.Yes i show, right now its small till fair but after that itll be atleast 1 to 2 times a month or more.

7. Light, fun and spooky, always more rewarding to have to work out the spooks

8.Id rather be a jumper, which i would love to try!

9. Dressage

10. Too small xD gotta love riding a pony

11.My own fault, ive been thrown so many times but its been my fault :) but its okay cause you learn from your mistakes.

12. Well kind of, im not to keen on knowing horse coats

13. 3 years or so kind of lost track

14. Sort of, im going to be going into equine vet tech, so something to learn :)

15. Tennesee or Wyoming haha

1. English/Dressage: I picked this for two reasons. One, i don't know how to jump! Two, I think western is relaxing, but English just makes me so happy when i ride. You have so much more options with english: games, jumping, cross-country, dressage, pleasure.

2. I don't own a horse and I've never had a horse, but I'm taking care of a horse named Tanner. I think I'm kind of teaching him a bit and he's teaching me a bit. He hasn't been taken care of in over a year, so i have to remind him of how to lift his hooves to be cleaned and stuff. But he teaches me how to handle strung out horses-he's one of them!

3. I think I love thoroughbreds and arabians, but I choose thoroughbreds. I guess i like the excitement of having an excitable, hyper horse than one you have to get going more than pull back-if that makes sense.

4. My favorite color is blue-any blue.

5. Riding I think I like geldings. Stallions are mostly a little caiotic while mares get distracted if a stallion comes by! Geldings are a lot more laid back than stallions, and less tempremental as mares (especially when their in heat). I'm used to geldings because only two horses i've riddeen were mares.

6. I sometimes show (only anually). I do a small barn dessage show. i'm not very competitve so that's hwy i do small shows.

7.Sensitive, hyper horse totally! Even if they spook, I like that you ened to pay more attention to them while riding. Sometimes, i get spacy on some slow, bombproof lesson horses.

8. I don't know how to jump really and i've never ridden a hunter so...

9. DRESSAGE! I don't know why, but i like the elegance of dressage.

10. I love big horses, so a big horse! Plus, i wouldn't want to outgrow the horse.

11.My own fault because i never want something to be my horses' fault. I know that everytime I fall off, i couldn've avoided a situation so its usually my fault.

12. i think dun has a line down their back and they don't have to be bucksin color.

13. for almost five years.

14. sometimes. Just the other day, someone told me tanner was limping but when i looked i thought he was fine!

15.anywhere in USA!
