I have several, having been horseback since 2 years old. Halter class at the horse show, my horse laid down in the arena! It was above 95 degrees and the horses were tired.

I took English riding lessons my entire childhood and showed nationally. Then at 18 I was able to see a wild herd of Mustangs, so beautiful and spirited, like a totally different animal from what I had been riding and was exposed to.
Since then I have never been able to ride again. I will not take part in a "hobby" that sucks the life and spirit out of horses, that's torture plain and simple. Wake up folks! And I don't buy it that riding doesn't hurt their backs and feet, I think it causes significant pain.
So give your horse some aspirin or a prescription pain pill before you sit your overweight a** on the poor thing. Horses like other horses and to be free, they do not like you for a second.

When I was younger and shorter(I grew slow in my life time,stayed small as a child-for a long time),many years ago yet an adult-we had mineture horses,not ponies-I can not recall the bread name-common American horse bread-and have not seen for a long time.But  Loving good horses,and even trained well to kneel down to help me climb on.We traveled many miles through forest-as a regular routine in life-checking on family property-Today many forest stolen and only  old memories left.

So many .... Barrels, rodeo queen, trips into the High Uintahs.
The memory I'm thinking of now was in the early spring. I took a can of grain and twine sting out into the pasture where my horse (Lilly) was. She came as I shook the can. I caught her, tied the twine around her neck, looped it over her nose, and hopped on. My father must have been watching because as I loped her to the gate he met me there. " don't you think you at least aught to put a bridle on crazy girl" he said.
At the time was thinking "he worries too much  "

My one memory of a horse was when i was in high school. We had a small dairy and my brother had the horse saddled and it was time to milk so i rode thd horse to gather the cows for milking. Done fine riding to the cows but when turnex to drive then home the horse decided he wanted to go back tk the barn on a dead run so that is how we went. I had hair curlers in my hair but on the way back to the barn i lost every curler. My brother being ten years younger than me laughed so hard and even today he lives to tell the story of thd time i went to get the cows in and lost all the curlers out of my hair.

So many memories to choose from but my last horse before I was pregnant with my son was also good for entertainment. I'd raised him from birth. My cutting horse prospect...AQUA. He was a real character. To start he'd roll the plastic barrels in the arena at full speed til the hit the fence and banked off them then take them the other direction. In his stall was an orange pylon and each day I'd have to walk down the hill behind his paddock to go get it. He'd swing it in his mouth and launch it as hard as he could. But one day 3 goats got into the arena and for several minutes he took them up and down the fence line cutting off turning them back then do it again. This went on for about five minutes til the goats figured out they could get out between the rails. He was a natural...sires side was all Champion cutting stock. Dam's side all Racing Quarter and TB so he was scary fast too. He could spin on a dime from the first few days I rode him. He went on to sire all fillies too.

When I was competing heavy in barrel racing, pole bending & other speed events. Western pleasure, trail class & team penning. My older foundation Quarter horse was a jack of all events. Lightning fast with a good sound mind, he knew when to go in business mode for events and then turn it off like a light switch and go back to his normal easy going self. He was such a laid back horse, people would ask me...That's a speed event horse??? He was so calm & collected. You could trust him with anybody.
Even with all his speed & competition, I could still turn around and put a kid on his back or an inexperienced person and he would babysit them. Best horse I ever had, would do anything I asked willingly.
My other 2 horses weren't like that, they would def test an inexperienced rider. My mare loved to go swimming with me in ponds so we had fun doing that, I'd just hang onto the saddle and she swam all over. My other gelding would rather just roll in a pond with you on his back...big turd

Working cattle in the early morning hours.....its cold....mist in blowing out of the horses nose.....the air is crisp....I can hear my spurs chink a linking as we head out at a fast trot......leather rubbing....Saras feet pounding the ground..
My mare was a Team Penning/sorting Champion....
Sara was a gray mare....and built stout like stallion...Beautiful refined head..She was Quarterhorse.....Doc Tom Tucker mare...
Her nick name at the competitions..was THE GREY GHOST...She was fast...precise...could watch a cow with the best of them..
She was like driving a automatic car at the cattle competitions..She knew what to do..all I had to do was stay with her...
I LOVED THAT HORSE....but she has passed away..
we also did
SORTING
MOUNTAIN HORSE CAMPING.
I raised my kids on horses...We used them for fun..and for work...I was a cowgirl for some local ranchers...and my kids were right there with me...working cattle too..they were taught quite young.
THOSE WERE GREAT TIMES..

My nieces and nephews takeing turns ride my stallion at home one would be trying to climb on him and he would have his head down for the others to scratch his ears and rub his forehead. He loved kids and none ever got hurt by him. I had him from 5 months old until he died in his mid 30's. He was a once in a lifetime horse.

Waking up early...pack a lunch/sodas & get on my showhorse for a nice relaxing trail ride all day long. Taking breaks, loosening up saddle and letting him graze beside me while I laid in the grass, give him couple of carrots and then back to sightseeing to give him a break from the showing...just letting him be a horse. He lived to be 35yrs old...I still miss him terribly. He was one of those Once in a lifetime horses. Always willing, eager, do anything I asked, put a kid or inexperienced person on him and yet go to shows & WIN.
Very special horse, he could tell if something was bothering me, he would follow me around and when I sat down he would hang his head on me as if to comfort me. Anytime he heard my voice...he came running

My worst memory was doing about what you did-broken collar bone, smashed chest and face, should have jumped but held on flipped under and went down the tube with all four smashing me. Just a rope and bare back

It was a few years ago, and I took one of my guy friends down to meet my horses. Well, once we got down there he was fussing at them, and even had the nerve to throw his hat at one of them... Well I guess she had decided that was the last straw, Because she walked right over to the hat, turned her tail around, and went to the restroom in it!!

I had a big 17.2 hand rescue race horse. The ferrier came and started on my daughters pony first. So we were standing there waiting for his turn. He started nuzzling his fuzzy lips on my neck and the he started motor boating my clevage. It tickled so much I couldnt help but laugh out loud.
