@Dolphin:
That wasn't missed, I just didn't have time to reply last night!

That is SO GREAT THAT YOU GET TO SHOW THAT HIGH! Oh my gosh, I am SO proud of you, you've come so far and turned into such a fantastic rider. <3
And that's great that you had such a great hack!

I'm sure your Eq will look fine in the video, but I feel your pain... it seems like every AMAZING ride I have doesn't get videotaped, but the day that Kat's being a sassafras, of course someone videotaped me. xD


@rain:
If I was a horse... I would be a 17.3hh (that's how my real heigh converts over) Anglo Arab mare, probably a reddish bay with a blaze and 4 white socks. xD
I would do Hunters and Jumpers. C: I have nice form, and I can speed around a 3'6 course no problem.

@Cray:
Hey! Anglos are my favorite breed too, high five. xD

@Wibeke:
I'm glad that you had such a great ride today! I would love to see a video some time, Major sounds like such a cutie.
It sounds like he was getting his Dressage pony on today, lol. Kat does the same thing occasionally if he's in a good mood.
Ponies are so much fun to ride, ohmygosh. o.o Everyone at my barn laughs at me because I'm the tallest rider there and yet I ride the second smallest horse, Kat (15.1). xD


______
Is there anything I'm missing?
Oh, and I can't wait to check out all of the horse's pages, I will add them all to the "Other Horses" section of mine. C:

Harley's Shadow: Actually, I haven't jumped on foot for quite a while now ;-; I used to do it a lot during the summer since I had the time but with school and homework and riding time doesn't allow for it >.< Plus, I hurt one of my toes so that's not helping lol. How's your jumping on foot going?

Oh also, question for all of you guys that jump on foot...If you were a horse what type would you be (based on your jumping on foot skills)? A hunter, jumper, grand prix horse, etc. For a hunter you would need good form over jumps, for jumper you can get through a course fast without knocking any rails, and grand prix you can jump really high. I would be a hunter :3 Probably a Child/Adult Hunter since I am most consistant at 2'6".

Me either. I don't have much time, like you.. It's going pretty well, although I haven't improved much, but it doesn't stop me.

Ummmmmmm.... I would say hunter... I'm not that fast, and I can't jump high.xD

    I am so going to make a sale ad for myself. xD
    So, I think I match your typical Thoroughbred. I am quite skinny and athletic. My personality...
    I can be a bit mare-ish at times, and I need a rider who gives me clear instructions. If I don't know what my rider is asking at all, I can sometimes get annoyed, although sometimes I tolerate it. I can be a little stubborn at times, but if you love me, work with me, and I love you, I'll try my heart out for you. I am a sweet mare with a lot of energy and spunk (sometimes a little too much!) and I am quite smart. I love competing and always want to win. I have a nice jump, ideal hunter form, and tons of scope! I am a beautiful mover, with a nice flat-kneed canter with lots of suspension. On a good day, I am your perfect hunter. I can do some jumpers, too, although I prefer hunters.
    That was fun!
    And... and...
    I get to ride a pony for my next lesson and hack! That is going to be so much fun... because I payed for my lessons, and Riley's hurt, I'm going to still ride. Hahaha, I rode Mya a while ago, but she's lazy. We'll probably do some jumping too. *Rubs hands evilly*

I saw all of you[most] were making pages for your horse... could I make one? I don't want to copy or anything.

Hano: Thank you. I'm just hoping he'll keep this up, I forgot how amazing it is to trot without kicking and squeezing every step! xD
And I'll definitely try and get a video! Somehow my camera never seems to make it to the barn, but one of these days I'll remember it. I really want you guys to see him, he's such a silly little show off.
Haha, exactly.

And ponies are awesome. I swear they have bigger personalities than most horses.
When I got on Manny everyone just stared at me and started laughing. Height wise I'd be okay on him [he's around kitty's height] but he's so narrow and everything about his build is tiny. So I looked pretty awkward up there. At least Kitty has a bit of meat on him. xD.

Rain: Ooh are you riding the Haflinger again? She sounded like a lot of fun. It's a shame she's so poorly trained, but with a little work I bet you could make a great pony out of her.
-----

If I were a horse I'd definitely be a pony. Ignoring the fact that I'm like 17 hands, personality wise I can't imagine myself as anything much larger. Probably a POA [pony of the americas] since they're every bit as arrogant and nutty and weirdly lovable [well, I wish xD] but with the added bonus of being smaller and pony-ish. I'm pretty friendly when I want to be but I really hate not getting my way and I tend to pout and whine when I get yelled at. I'm lazy as hell and don't have a whole lot of stamina. I'd probably be the sort of horse to toss my rider off the second I feel tired and don't want to work.
All I can say is that I'd pity whoever gets stuck riding me because I'm an arrogant brat and they'd have no chance of changing it.
Though if I had a choice in the matter though I'd love to be a big fancy warmblood or draft mix or something. Then I could be all shiny and awesome. xD

And I think I'd be a show jumper. I can jump fairly high and outrun most of my friends, but it's certainly not pretty. It's actually kind of funny to watch, my arms go flailing around and I can barely keep track of my legs but I manage to build up some speed. Major and I have basically the same kind of stride in that we both throw our legs forward and hope they land in the right place. xD

Another person who said they were as stubborn, lazy, and opinionated as ponies despite being tall! Hugs!

Congrats on your lesson, too. Shall we switch for a day? I'd love to know what it's like to ride a horse that you actually have to *kick*... /crazy Thoroughbreds. But really, yay! Major is like Mully in my mind, and I'm very tempted to steal both of them. :3

Rain gets to ride a ponyyyy! More yay! I like your sale ad, too. <3

...everybody has been having great lessons/hacks recently. Please, world, can't it be my turn soon? I really think I'm overdue for having riding feel easy and fun for an hour or so. I miss Max...

-cut for space-

I always remember my camera, but no one is ever available to tape me, lol.

Hehe, yeah, Kat is quite the fatty! C:


@Flutter:
I'm sorry that you haven't had the best ride, and that Max isn't with you. D: Feel better. <3

______________________________
OK, so now I really want to do an in-depth "if I was a horse..." thing. xD
I would be a 17.3hh Anglo Arab mare, but chestnut. Not my hair color, but whatever.
...You know the saying, chestnut mares are always trouble? Yup. That would be meeee!
I'd be the sort of horse that's a bit skittish but actually quite curious if you'd let me look at things and realize that they aren't terrifying, much like a TB. I'd also be a hot ride like an Arab, all prance-y and headtoss-y and easily excited and ready to GO! I do not like standing still for a long amount of time, lol.
I'm not quick to trust, but once I do trust someone I give them my all, so I'd probably be a one person horse - provided that that one person brought me treats and brushed me till I shone and rode me with soft hands and a steady leg, lol.

I would so be a jumper. I love the exhilaration of the whole thing as a rider, and if I was a horse I would love galloping around a course and jumping BIG. C: Oooh, and I would so love cross country, running through a field and jumping stuff? Heaven.



Guys. I'm almost done with my example drawing, and it's a bit pitiful. xD I haven't drawn in over a year, and it shows a bit. Whatever.

    @ Harley; Sure you can!

    @ Flitter; Nope, I get to ride a Welsh! My farm has a ton of Welsh ponies... I think that only one of them is lazy. Hehe, this'll be fun!

OK guys, example time. Just tell me if you want one and I'll try to make one. C: If you give me a ref, that is.

Sorry that this isn't all too good, but I tried to rush it out so that I could get started making some for those that want one! And yeah, I was going to draw a neck but then I got bored with drawing for the moment so no neck. xD
And a bit of the conformation is wonky, I'm out of practice. xD

Had to take pictures of it with my camera so kinda weird lighting
Another shot
