@Hano- HA. Big eq had less then 10 listings for my province lol. I dislike when other really good search things like BigEq don't have many listings for me locally.

@Kayla:
Thanks! I love Kat too, he's so precious. <3 Especially when he's wearing his bonnet! Do you ride?


@Milo:
Lol, yeah, it just clicked for me too. I'm very glad that we have an indoor ring - otherwise, we would hardly ever be able to ride, as it usually rains quite a bit (not this year, though) and the winters are freezing. That's cool that you ride at a rescue C:

I hope that your lesson goes well!


@Toppy:
I'm sorry xD At least your area seems to have lots of Arabs from what you've said. I'm jealous. Arabs, Trakehners, Anglos, Selle Francais, and TB's are my favorite breeds.
And hey - whenever I look at warmbloods for sale, half of the ones I want are in Canada, so... xD

Lol. It's not that there aren't any horses for sale in my area, it's just that people don't use sites like BigEq. They use other ones. Ones that I can never remember the names of xD Just like craigslist and kijiji are kinda regional too, some areas just tend to favour one over the other.

Yes, there are lots of arabs in my area. It's kinda ironic that I've been riding at an arab barn for the last 6 ish years, yet I never picture myself owning and Arab when I get a horse when I'm older xD There's also lots just across the border, I think. I think there's a decent Arab community in Saskatchewan as well. Arizona, Califoria, and Texas all have large amount of Arabs, too. It's also a bit different in the way that they compete on a different circuit, so there might be more then you think, you've just never come across them. They are one of the most popular breeds, after all. Canada has quite distinct areas for different breeds and disciplines, I think.

    @ Hano; Haha, someone didn't finish their sentence. xD
    Edit: Thanks! It was interesting but awesome too. And this may sound odd, but him spooking was really fun and I didn't start shaking until after he started walking!
    I only have to wrap the back legs, thank goodness. I need practice, of course, but I'd love to hear your tips.
    I wish that my bridle, martingale, bit and boots would just get here already! I don't like borrowing other people's stuff, because I don't want to do something wrong with it and have them get mad at me... although Riley's owner is really happy that I'm using her tack because I clean it for her. xD

    La Video
    Judge if you'd like. (: But keep in mind that I have so many excuses... *cough* Here they are!
    - I've only been riding for about two and a half years
    - This was my second time riding this horse
    - This was my first time cantering this horse, excluding out first out-of-control-crazy-fast canter
    Yup. (:


Just a little tip ;p, when your cantering, you should sit back more because if you lean forward to much, when his head goes down, you could end up falling sideways down his neck, just saying because that happened to me because i was leaning forward too much, and down sideways next to his neck I went. if I sound rude, let me know, oh and how tall is Riley, whats his breed?

    @ Drafthorse; I wasn't necessarily leaning forward, I was in half-seat. (: Thank you anyways!
