School Horses! Featuring, Elvis & Choco!
Well..I figure I can take some pictures of the horses and post them for everyone to ogle at.(:<br>I'm going to an equestrian school, and I get the stall(s) I'm assigned to changed every few weeks..I'm on my third stall now (Elvis, Mo, and now Petoo) and this mare is AMAZING.<br><br>I'll get a picture or two of the others, Elvis and Mo at some point..lol.<br><br><span style="text-decoration:underline"><span style="font-weight:bold">Elvis</span></span><br>Elvis is a dapple grey Arabian gelding, and he's the sweetest thing ever. I caught him laying down before feed one day and sat with him for a bit until the food actually started coming and he wanted to get up, haha. I've never liked greys, nor Arabs, but he's definitely the one exception.(:<br><img src="http://i46.tinypic.com/116p6cg.jpg"; alt="http://i46.tinypic.com/116p6cg.jpg"; class="bb-image" /><br><br><span style="text-decoration:underline"><span style="font-weight:bold">Mo</span></span><br>Mo is a bay mustang gelding (freeze-brand and all!) that's rather..old, lol. I'd say he's in his mid-late twenties and he's pretty stoic..He just chills in the back of his stall..so I never really liked him, haha.<br>Picture coming soon!<br><br><span style="text-decoration:underline"><span style="font-weight:bold">Juanita</span></span><br>This is an absolutely beautiful (even if faulty in conformation, haha) mare. She doesn't exactly look like my mare, but they're personalities are SPOT ON! This is the first horse that I rode for my lessons/classes, and she's so push button. All her cues are instilled great and she listens the second you tell her to change gait, turn, or stop.<br>Picture coming soon!<br><br><span style="text-decoration:underline"><span style="font-weight:bold">Panzer</span></span><br>Panzer use to be a mounted police horse..He's rather large and just plods along..He's not one for going fast, so I had to work on speeding him up the WHOLE time just to keep pace with the rest of the horses. Although he was slow, his trot was HUGE, and very lengthy..which, given his height, I should've known, haha.<br>Picture coming soon!<br><br><span style="text-decoration:underline"><span style="font-weight:bold">Clyde aka the Moldy Pickle</span></span><br>I rode this old (and I mean OLD) guy for my evaluations.(: I was told he was a complete pain in the ass and didn't listen to rein at all, but he was definitely made out to be much worse than he was. While I thought I was going to break him in half, he's extremely adorable and I couldn't help but LOVE his giant, furry ears. I won't lie about being focused on his ears half the time instead of what we were doing, haha. This old guy is still going strong around 40 years old 
<br>Picture coming soon!<br><br><span style="text-decoration:underline"><span style="font-weight:bold">Petoo</span></span><br>She's an absolutely beautiful, sorrel, QH mare. She looks similar to my mare (same colour) and she's extremely lovey. She has itchy spots ALL OVER her body and she always turns her head to "groom" you back (aka, rubbing her top lip back and forth on your hand or forearm). I took a few pictures this afternoon when I got assigned her stall..but this is my favourite.(:<br><img src="http://i46.tinypic.com/27yrhw3.jpg"; alt="http://i46.tinypic.com/27yrhw3.jpg"; class="bb-image" /><br><br><span style="text-decoration:underline"><span style="font-weight:bold">Chocolate</span></span><br>Well..right before I switched from riding to just farrier and another career class..I was suppose to be on Chocolate. I kinda regret not riding that day, but..oh well. Chocolate is a camp horse..he goes off to be good for little kids that know absolutely nothing during the 3 summer months. I got to work on his feet today.(: Chocolate had me do his right front and I shared his right hind with my partner.<br><img src="http://i45.tinypic.com/dwvuxk.jpg"; alt="http://i45.tinypic.com/dwvuxk.jpg"; class="bb-image" /><br>psst, any faces you can see are blurred, so I believe they're acceptable.(:<br><br>So..I'll be updating with all the horses I'm assigned to, and I'll also get a few of those that I rode before I switched to just farrier too.(:<br>I'm really excited that my camera came back from the dead..I'll be able to get great pictures of some great (albeit insane) horses now!
