My equine adventures :) *videos 11/23/08!*

You may know that I'm an equestrian (for those who don't...NOW YOU DO!). Anyways...I figured I'd show off my mounts


This is Scooter. I've been riding him on and off for about a year (although he was gone last winter). He is the only horse I have ever fallen off of (twice!) and I love him to death!




Leo is a fat, lazy beast. I don't enjoy riding him that much, haha. But I still love him (how could you not?)






Jack is my baby. He's only 7, but he's such a talented jumper. I've jumped up to 3 feet on him.



(not our best lesson, I agree)



Junior was the only horse I rode for almost two years. I've outgrown him now, but he still holds a special place in my heart.



Joey is such a nice pony! When I first started riding him, he was a spooky pony who could barely manage a simple lead change. Now, as he demonstrated last Friday, he does flying lead changes without any trouble and he is a steady eddy for the younger riders at my barn.
Sorry, only have a video of me riding him

Great pics. I had an Appaloosa when I was young. He was great and very smart. I still miss him. They are beautiful creatures, aren't they.

Oh, great pics!!!

My grandfather had a Babander horse, a real ancient breed. It scared me as a kid it was huuuge compared to other horses.

I rode Scooter again on Friday...WOW! I forgot how hot he got in the winter! I had to do circle after circle to get him to slow down! And then jumping, he was going insane! He blew up around a corner and I nearly came off, lol.

but I have pictures! Please ignore my huge sweatshirt - IT WAS COLD!



and then I have videos of us jumping, too! (watch them in high quality)


^warm up jump, quick spaz out after (with a flying change thrown in!)



And then, to prove once again that he is the devil, he refused

Aww! I love horses. I used to ride but quit after I found out just how nasty my instructor was. I do take an animal course now and we're going to be going to a horse farm this spring. Can't wait!

Hahaha Scooter sounds exactly like my horse. All go and no stop!
