Welcome to "The CF Equestrian Club"

[ridesawhitehorse]

I would like to welcome all horse lovers to the CF Equestrian Club.
Membership requirements are that you are:

1. Horse Crazy - thats all.


Please introduce yourself, introduce your horses, your preferred horse sport or activity, what area you live, what you do, etc.
CF Horse Lovers who are horse-less are also welcome to the CF Equestrian Club.
Lets get to know each other and build a horse community here at CF !

I guess I will start!

My boys include:
Pedro, 7 year old QH gelding, shows western.
Domingo, 4 year old Lipizzaner Stud, dressage (in training)
My girls are:
Prairie, 3 year old QH mare, (husbands trail horse)
and Diva, 2 year old Andalusian cross (does nothing right now but eat)

I live in the Pacific Northwest! Go to foudation QH shows, or jumping and dressage shows about once a month. Dressage clinics monthly too.

 

[I'mHis]

Yay! An equestrian club! What a great idea. lol at what you said about Diva, all she does is eat. That's what they do best I think! Okay, to introduce my boys:

Juan: 16 year old sorrel Quarter Horse
Domino: 2 (soon to be 3) year old black and white overo Paint
Teddy Bear: He is not with me anymore, but he is still in my heart now and always. He was a bay QH. He would have been 21 this month.

I just ride for pleasure, I don't show or anything like that. I love trail riding. I live in MO, and keep my horses at my friends house. Oh, something I think is cool about Juan is that he is related to War Admiral and Man O' War. Man O' War has always been my favorite since I was little, and I was so excited when I found out my boy is related to him!

I'll introduce my mares

Kelly, a QH pony, 9 years old. She's my first horse, and has joint problems that severely limit her working abilities.

Lacey, an Appy, 5 years old. She's my primary horse right now. I ride trails with her, and am planning to take dressage lessons on her.

Sierra, a bs Pinto, 5 years also. She's currently just being started under saddle, and is slowly but surely making progress. Supersensitive, it takes a special and understanding soul to give this horse a chance. She's slowly warming up to me. I plan to use her for barrels and poles.

I just finished up 1 year of college, and plan to spend the summer trail riding, attending shows, and training. I live for these horses!

 

[Horse Luver]

Good idea! I have no horses to introduce . That wasn't a requirement though, eh? I ride at a western barn, go out there 3 times a week (to help with little kid lessons and for my lesson), and my favorite horse is a sorrel Appaloosa gelding. HORSES ROCK

 

[LunarSparkle]

Ooh, what a fab idea!

My horse; Just Moonshine, 11yo Irish Sports Horse, Liver Chestnut gelding.
Discipline; Dressage
Location; Northern Ireland

Hey, we have enough for an equestrian team! Think we could get to the Olympics this year?

ImHis - Juan sounds cool. Me and my husband trail ride quite a bit, about every weekend.
Born2run - I have a sensitive mare I'm training too. She is exhausting because she worries so much. She should be a fine jumper though. She is Andalusian/Percheron.
Horse Luver - Are you taking lessons on the Appy? What kind of riding are you doing?
LunarSparkle - I have a dream of going to Ireland for a horseback vacation. Do you know of any travel agents that specialize in horseback vacations?

Pedro, Domingo, and I just came back from a show this weekend. Pedro and I won our AA Hunter class, but we crashed a fence in Int. Hunter. eeeks! went 4th there.
Then Domingo won his Sporthorse In-Hand class. YAYY!

Let us know all of your horse activities from week to week you guys!
And God bless you all, and your horses too!

 

[Horse Luver]

Congrats Ridesawhitehorse!!! That's great U won! Oooh, sorry about the jump though. Your horse OK?
Yeah, I ride the Appaloosa a lot. He's just fun to ride...really relaxing, yet fun and energetic at the same time (that prob. did make sense!!). The other day he was feeling so good when I cantered down the trail he was swishing his tail like he was going to buck (I was kinda wishing he would! lol)!!

 

[LunarSparkle]

Ridesawhitehorse - Not sure of any specialist agents, but if you search for 'equestrian holidays in ireland' you get some good results, also could recommend a couple of places depending whereabouts you want to go.

Anyway, Moonshine and I are off to Belfast tomorrow (2hours away) for our monthly lesson with my trainer that comes over from England, so will update on how we get on tomorrow!

 

[LunarSparkle]

Ooh, forgot to say Congratulations ridesawhitehorse!! Very well done!

 

[ridesawhitehorse]

Thanks Horse Luver - LunarSparkle

Pedro is fine. We didn't get hurt - but we made short work of that oxer, hehe..
Enjoy your lesson Lunar... let me know how you did. I have a dressage clinic this weekend too.

HorseLuver - your horse sounds pretty laid back but fun like Pedro. Nothing better then a good horse that you know will take care of you.
God bless you Ladies!

 

[LunarSparkle]

My boy can now be seen in my avatar

 

[I'mHis]

ridesawhitehorse: Congratulations! Sounds like you did awesome!

Can't wait to see how you did Lunar Sparkle! I would love to visit Ireland someday. It is such a gorgeous conutry. BTW, your horse is gorgeous!

Horse Luver: what is the Appy's name? lol I can always tell when Juan is going to let out a playful buck. He doesn't do it very often, just when he is really feeling full of himself!

 

[Horse Luver]

His name is Chevy I'mHis. He's a beautiful sorrel with a little white diamond on his forhead.I'm not really sure how he's an appaloosa, but he's registered as that. hehe, yeah, Juan sounds like him.

 

[born2run]

HorseLuver...they're called "breeding stock" and I glare at them everytime I get an Appaloosa Journal.
Sounds like ya'll own/ride beautiful and talented animals!

 

[LunarSparkle]

Wow, well I'm back from my lesson - it was amazing!! It's hard to describe why, just got Moonshine going so much better than ever before, anyway I had a fab time! Can't stop smiling now!

 

[ridesawhitehorse]

Lunar - your horse looks great. Looks like a 2nd level frame? Am I wrong?
Good seat, girl! Sitting that big trot! Splendid!!

 

[LunarSparkle]

Ahh right, we can now use this as an opportunity for you to explain to me the levels in American dressage - ours are completely different!!

Thankyou for the nice words!

 

[I'mHis]

Lunar- Glad you had a good lesson. I am going out to see my boys tomorrow-I am very excited!!!

 

[Wandering Cat Lady]

Ok this sounds fun...I currently have four horses...3 girls one boy!

Pet-blind Appy cross QH mare, registred as CH Shesa Pet, 13 years old, grey/roan and a wonderful trail horse!
Confetti-MY HORSIE LOL-13 year old Arabian mare, not registered, kinda dorky, fleabitten grey, quite pretty when she wants to be, is a fun ride!
Jubilee-Mom's baby-Yearling PMU paint filly, tricolored-blue roan, brown, black, and white...really cool lol...
Smoke-13 year old ???? probably a Warmblood, awesome awesome horse, unregistered that we know of but does have a brand. Extremely well trained in western pleasure and eventing, knows his stuff. A challenging ride which has led us to trade him for another horse from the same resuce where we got him.

And yes we are trading Smokey for a gorgeous Morgan gelding, Chester. Chester is 12 years old, not saddle broke that we know of, about 14.2 hands tall, excellent conformation, liver chestnut with a gorgeous neck and head...drop dead gorgeous with a great unbeatable temperament at that!

I have two websites for my horses...PM me if you want them!
Hope you enjoy!
