Thanks for the feedback, guys!
Danazo- yeah, Danyna is an arab. Yes, she has had quite a bit of work, and she's learned a lot. And she's 22! She came to the stables at the beginning of October when my beatutiful Topaz was sold (not her, but I loved her to bits and she learned so much, too!) so I've been riding her since then. Once a week till the new year, and since then twice a week.
starfighter- I've ridden tons of horses too, way too many to count. The ones that I've actually ridden lots are, let's see, currently there's Danyna and Victor (i ride him once a week by myself) as well as Sachi at the other jumping stable. I used to ride Topaz for about 6 months, and Toppy for 2 or 3 years, as well as a different arab mare 4 years ago for about 8 months, and Penny off and on for a few months, I ride her sometimes now too, to give her manner lessons. And I rode Nina 4 times, one of my friends rides her now(She's learned a lot, too. She used to be scared of poles, now she jumps cavalettis no problem!). I rode Bonnet 4 times before I started riding at the jumping stable, she was out at a different jumping stable so that's where I did a bunch of jumping (I saw her a few weeks ago, by the way, at a schooling show) At the first stable I rode at I rode Sassy, Bailey, Cricket and Lacy I think, as well as Emily a few times. Where I am now I've also ridden 10 other horses on different occasions, anywhere from one or two times to 20 mins. And I rode a horse on a trail ride, and a pony the first time I ever rode. So I'm pretty sure that's all the horses I've been on, but I wouldn't be surprised if I'm leaving some out. That's 26 horses all together. Wow, didn't think it was that many.
