Answer 1

1) My riding style favors Dressage,with 3 day eventing,fox hunting(drag scent)and trail riding anywhere anytime. I also drive single and pairs english.
2) I personally own 4 horses,and ride others for clients, My best broodmare is due this July4th!
3) I've always owned horses for 30 years ever since Dad gave me my first pony.
4) Have always had my own farm, but a recent move has me boarding just for a while until the new barn is finished!
5) I was born on a Connemara farm in Northern Ireland.Uncle and Da had me up riding before I walked:so,all my life,Legal USA resident now,rider and trainer of youngstock.
6) Lessons keep me sharp.I love reading up on horse riding styles and watching those DVD training packages too.At clinic we take turns critiquing each other, and then watching a video of our efforts. It pinpoints when a horse is ready to move up a bit, or a silly mistake we otherwise might of missed.
-> 7) Free question! Breed favorites? I favor Friesians and Warm bloods Of Color.

Answer 3

I don't really understand your first question but I'm Irish and I showjump. I own 6 horses, but I also compete on other peoples horses.I've owned horses for the past 10 years, but my father owned horses before that, so i have sort of grown up with them.I live on a farm so thats where i keep them and have been riding for 12 years(i'm 18 now). I took lessons in a riding school for a year or so when I was young, but i still recieve help from both my dad and other irish showjumping coaches.

Answer 5

Over the years I have had 7 horses - all but two died (I prefer an older horse to a young one). All of my horses have been boarded - 4 at a general riding stable - 3 at training barms. The 4 at the general riding stable were ridden hunt seat/balance seat english the 3 at training stables were ridden engish flat saddle.
I took lessons on and off for over 25 years. Since I rode trail to start with and show rode for the rest I felt that lessons kept my style more pure.

Answer 6

I ride English - more specifically 3-day eventing and occasional Jumpers in the winter. I am the proud owner of one horse - a Morgan gelding who I've owned for about 5 years now. He's boarded at a farm twenty minutes from my house. I've been riding and taking lessons for eleven years now, and loving every minute.

I hope this helps!
