Hey im new but i have read some of the other posts and it sounds like ALL of you are into the english stuff! i just wanted to know if any of you do barrel racing or pole bending or anything?

Most everyone here rides either huters jumps or equ. because of the show, Horse Power was geared towards English riders since it follwed riders to the Maclay which is a largelargelarge Equtation competition.

I grew up riding western though. When I lived in New York my friends and I would trail ride western sometimes. But I haven't been in a western saddle in ages. It couldbe soon though, my new trainer does Equ. with me but has a huge background of reining and she still trains reining horses professionally.

oh yeah i guess that would explain it! haha well if you dont mind having a western rider comment some of your posts, or what ever they are called, i will stay! horses are horses no matter what you ride them in so it shouldnt be a problem! i might just have to ask a few questions about english things that i dont know about!

Here's a little about me. i own a arab/quater cross named Frisco. He looks all arab tho with a quater horses eyes and hind quaters. he is the love of my life!! i just started riding when i got him for christmas, but i have loved horses since i first rode one! im 15 (almost 16! in july!) and junior in high school when school starts up again!

Im pretty sure i've seen (heard..saw im not sure) other western riders on here before so your not alone. but even though a lot of posts are about english stuff there is a bunch on horse care which everyone can be involved in. so ya hey!

why would we mind having a western rider? ur horse crazy and that all that counts welcome to the borad

yeah thats what i figured but ya never know!! but thanks guys!!

Ive never tried western, but i just joined AQHA, if that counts any?? My new horse is appendix and registered so i thought what the heck it will be fun, plus the discounts on insurance are pretty nice too

Plus if you plan on going to any AQHA shows you have to be a member.


I have a QH gelding whom I bought about 6 weeks ago or so, we're showing locally this year and not doing many breed show, but I am taking him to regionals in July...lucky for me locally is home of Congress. Easy access.

oh that is so fun!! yeah right now im just showing locally but hopefully when i get better i will make it big! i kinda started late but whatever! it's still fun!
