Do You Ride Horses? V.4

[faentofheart]

(Not-so) Rare footage of my (once grey) Percheron x TB who decided to roll after I painstakingly washed her. Criminal. Fiend. I caught you in 4K.

Her reasoning: “The bath let the dirt stick better”

No, she does not have cushings. C: we have had her checked, she is just a fluffy beast in the winter (as drafts tend to be)

@faentofheart
greys sure are real efficient at changing colors after baths! the best, even. very pretty lady!


anyone else taken up on collecting unflattering pictures of your horses? has nearly become a hobby for me at this point


truly majestic beast

I love horses. I have two horses. Maverick and Diamond. Maverick is a trail riding horse while Diamond is an English horse. I owned Maverick since 2015, and he will always be in my heart even though all I did was ride him along the same trail over and over (western saddle). He wasn't allowed to be trained for anything else since he was often used for trail rides, so last year I got Diamond! I've always wanted to do English riding but I was never allowed until now. I'm almost ready for the canter which is good! I want to become a professional show jumper one day.

Currently very sad

Im having to sell one of my horses, and I have to have her up for sale and pretty much gone by the end of this month
I love her dearly but it is for the better. I really wish I could be keeping her but I just don't have the time to work with her the way she needs or deserves </3

Update: Her sale ad is officially up, brb gonna go cry 😭💔

hey y'all, its roo I've been riding since I was three, and training horses since I was about 14. I ride western, and have competed in barrel racing, pole bending, jumping, reining, cutting, and cattle work!
my baby justice, he's 3 turning 4. he's a 15.1 (still growing!) Tennessee Walker. He's been learning so much, and im very proud of him.

on friday i got a message from my mom saying that the horse i rode when i was younger was being sold. i was really shocked that the owner didn't tell me, considering i still ride with her when i have the time (i'm a college student now), and she knows what raja is to me? she's under no obligation to, but still, it came out of left field. thankfully i was driving home that weekend anyways, so i got to say goodbye before he was picked up saturday morning. hardest goodbye i've ever had to say. i loaded him up into the trailer and didn't leave his side until they were pulling out of the driveway. the new family seems nice enough, i got their contact information so i could be kept updated. still hurts though, raja was a really big part of me.

oh, what event are you showing? i used to show years ago but i couldn't keep doing it because of my anxiety. i wish i had good advice for you, sorry! with time and more experience you will definitely keep growing. and just know that if you ever mess up or don't do as well as you'd hope, there is always a chance the next time. i wish you good luck for sure!

Hi! I'm going to begin showjumping! I'm planning on showing a thoroughbred that I've worked with for a year or so now. He's a dark bay, around 15.5hh and he has the cutest eyes and snoot!

my advice for showjumping is dont like focus too hard on time and jump off turns, let it come naturally, !
