Since I know no one here...introduce yourselves!

;D That was pretty good!!!! ;) You do the same thing I do. I muck out stalls&paddocks, clean out water troughs, feed the horses, etc. in order to get extra free rides at the farm, though I already take 1 lesson a week that I have to pay for. How old and tall is Butler? I ride a horse named Kyzer that is 24 years old!!!!! He's 15hh, and even though he's old, he can have as much energy as a 4 year old sometimes, especially at shows!!!!

Well, since my neighbors own a stable, they let me ride a Quarter Horse/ Thoroughbred gelding named Butler for free if I clean up all the horses poop, give them food , etc. It's really hard work but I'd do anything to ride Butler. This one girl boarding at the stable saw me doin' the chores and laughed. The next day I was cleaning out Butler's pen (I forgot the name of it. lol.) and I dumped the poop on her on purpose when she was walking by but acted like it was an accident.

where i go riding you don't get a particular horse but the choice of loads of different ones. Goldie is a 37 year old palomino pony. she is retired now but she was the first pony i rode at the stables. Douglas is a black horse. he used to be placid and the perfect beginner's pony. but now he kicks and nips for treats. Inky is a former black horse. she is now grey. she is really bad tempered and nearly bit a huge chunk out of my leg one time! Tully is a smallish bay pony. she resently broke her cannon bonewhilst attemptng to kick another pony. we should be able to ride her again next year. Willow is a skewbald shetland pony. she is too small for us to ride but has the sweetest personality you could imagine. Noggin is a fjord horse. he is great if sometimes pushy. if he wants to go for an unplanned hack your going on an unplanned hack! Joe is a privately owned horse. we cant ride him in the school but his owner sometimes lets us ride him bareback to the field and turn him out. Smarty is a really fast and excitable pony. he does whatever you want him to except a few miles an hour faster! it is like riding a rocket powered pogo stick! Misty is a strange horse. sometimes she gallops off not caring about the rider on top and sometimes she goes so slowly you would be quicker riding a snail! Poppy is a very special horse. she has beautiful paces and a wonderful personality but she has a tendancy to spook. Hobo is the best gypsy vanner ever! he is comfortable, reliable, loyal, sweet, obedient, food orientaded and sooooo lovable! he is the best horse to ever walk the earth and i love him!
