(Just read your second comment) 

Oh wow, I hadn't thought to even do that! That's awesome, I'd love to go for a ride with you! We'll have to get in touch closer to that time :)

That does sound fun, I'm jealous! I checked out their website and it looks really, really cool. Don't know if they would hire me though, I'm not quite 18 yet... :/
It's great that you'll have a chance to experience all of that and deal with the clients, I'm definitely not the most social person ever, lol.

I work at a barn right now, definitely not a big one (8-10 horses at any given time), but I muck stalls, groom, and work with the 3 owner's ponies and horse (a QH, a shetland and a hackney) so I do have some experience with the business aspect, just not on the scale that you'll be getting :)

That's awesome! Do you know what retreat? Maybe I've heard of it. I'd love to get a summer job guiding trail rides or something, I'm sure the tourists would get old after a while but riding all day in beautiful country would rock :)

 

Wow, I had no idea about any of those books, I'll have to check them out. The oldest age range fiction book that I've read was called Blind Beauty- about a blind steeple chaser. I really liked it, but it was still geared towards younger teens (not that there's anything wrong with that).

No, I remember that too. I think I liked it pretty well if I can remember... I'm a horse book nut too, I used to read all of the thoroughbred books and the heartland ones as well. It's a shame that there aren't many horsey books geared towards older people though, most of them are for kids. 

 

I'll be going to Colorado state for college, their equine science program is fantastic. Probably not this coming year though, the year after is when I'll start. 

Oh my gosh, I think I read that as well! Was it about a throughbred with crippled legs or something? I was thrilled when I found it, a book about horses, named after me! Ha ha. 

 

I'd love to share equine science knowledge with you :) I'm probably won't be going for a year or two though.

Hi Ashley,   Thanks for the welcome.     Guelph University is a great place to learn Equine Science.    Good luck.

i have a male dog named sampson we found him at the dump when he was just a pup so we took him into our arms and hes the greatest dog evrytime i go outside he has to be right there with me or my 2 littl sis then we have a female dog named sugar shes a boston terrior and shes very very active!! shes just full of energy and sometimes it gets annoying.then the rabbits my sis named thiers sparkles and rainbow soo.... but i mean they was just 4 and 5 at that time. and mines named is thumper and he reallymakes tht thumping sound when he bouces its wierd. my two littl sister ones name is elisabeth and shes 6 now and the others name is phebe shes 5.

thanks for welcoming me i love this site its soo addictive lol :))

Yay! Thats very excitng! Good look

Ya thats always funny to see!

wow i didn't know that, i always thought the combined driving horses were Morgans and saddlebreds. Thats really interesting :D

ya that's a great idea. I'll be very interested in looking into that. Thanx for the idea! :D

hey ashley! thks for welcoming me! love to be around! see you, N.-

Haha ya she's a blast! We have so much fun. She is full of information and great tips and is always willing to share!

Wow thats great! Working with cattle is realy fun from what i have experianced and seen. I would love to learn more about working with cattle.

Yes Dressage is my greatest interest but i also love the jumping. I would love to learn more about the reining, barrel racing, cutting and roping. I do it for fun sometimes but i'm not exactly sure what i am doing. ha Lois takes reining lessons for fun and gives me lessons on her boyfriends reining horses just to get a kick out of watching me spinn in circles with no idea of how to stop. haha I also realy want to learn more about combined driving.

Yes I hope i do! I am a student of and an employee for Lois Whittington, I board there in the summers and work there all year round.

I have noticed you are interested in many different topics dealing with horses. Thats wonderful! I hope you realy go far in your interests! Do you have a favorite?

Thank you :)

thanks

Well We are pulling our horse out of the barn she has been with for the last 4 months,Our mare has lost wieght and we don't like the people at all,She has 2 horses,She doesn't do anything with her's,Her husband feeds them but that's about it,I asked her about insurance and the next thing i know we are not allowed to do anything with our mare,She said that we can't go into the paddocks incase her horses kick or bite us,There very green and will always be that way,They had no problem with us out there  at all until i asked about insurance,We now have found out they have none.house or barn,
