Horseback Swifties!

Thu, Feb 9, 2012 at 3:16 PM

Anybody else here ride horses?
How long have you been riding?
Do you have your own horse?
What's your favourite event/discipline?


Personally, I have loved horses my entire life, but I've only gotten the chance to ride in the past year. I don't have my own horse, so I ride a horse that belongs to my riding school for my lessons. My regular horse is Jackson, a 15.3hh dark bay gelding, who is around 21 years old and still going really well. If he's unavailable, I sometimes ride Snow, who is a 15.4hh light grey gelding. He is also 21 years old and still doing really well with his health, etc... But he is starting to get a little slow.

    :) Cute thread! I have been rising ever since I was tiny. I lived at a farm for a while and I had my own horse. Now my grandparent's own it and I go over there every chance I get to go ride our horse.

    So happy TC is back!

    Yes! I found the horse loving Swifties thread!!!!!

    Hi, I'm Christina and I live in Australia.
    Ok so I've been riding horses by myself since I was about 2-3 years old, before that my parents would sit me on them and lead them around. So that means I've been riding horses for 16 years!! Wow....how time flies by .
    I live on a farm so I've always had the opportunity to ride horses. We own about 10 horses that we use for cattle work. My horse is called Slim and he is a 16hh bay gelding thoroughbred. He is my life. I've had quite a few horses in my lifetime and Slim is my current one. The other horses are Australian stock horses and Quarter horses.
    I went to my local Pony Club for about 10 years before school commitments took over and I had no time to attend. I'm in my last year of high school this year so it's going to be pretty busy. My favourite event would have to be the Sporting events like Barrel racing and pole bending. I always won so many ribbons on those events. They were just so much fun and you could go as fast as you wanted. I also enjoyed Jumping and occasionally Campdrafting.

    And that's about it. Feel free to ask me any questions if you want.
    Love love love

    Thank you, I know.
    We have a 3000 acre property with about 500 cattle. So we need horses which is the reason I've been so lucky to have a horse all my life

    That's really awesome! My house is like the total opposite of yours :P 3 bedroom house with TINY rooms and an extension, garage, 2 sheds, and a granny flat. So we have the tiniest backyard! There's barely enough room for the trampoline, washing line and dog playspace :( So it would be impossible to keep a horse here :P

    If I ever do get the chance to own a horse, I will most likely keep it at my current riding school. It's about a 40 minute drive from my house, but it is absolutely lovely there!

    That's good. At least you have somewhere to keep it. And I bet it is lovely there! A lot of riding schools look so nice. Wish I could afford to go to one for a while but it doesn't matter :)

    Yeah, that's true! Agistment is SO pricey though! :(
    My riding school is lovely. I can only afford lessons once a fortnight at the moment, but it's worth it. Our arenas are actually bigger than Olympic size (I forget how big they even are)... But it's so they can be divided up to have 2 private lessons or a group lesson and private lesson going at once in each... Although because I do my lessons so late (usually around 5:30 PM) I get the indoor arena to myself and it's like... my favourite feeling in the world. :p

    I ride horse. Well I used to ride, but it got really expensive.
    I've been riding for a very long time. (I cant remember ecactly how long)
    I dont own a horse, but i leased two in January/February for Christmas.
    My favorite riding event is probably show jumping. I also like Cross-Country and Dressage. Lipizzaner tricks are pretty cool too.
    I have loved horse my entire life. They are my favorite animal, close to Cats. They're so beautiful and majestic and they're full of life. They really are wonderful creatures.

    My riding school is lovely. I can only afford lessons once a fortnight at the moment, but it's worth it. Our arenas are actually bigger than Olympic size (I forget how big they even are)... But it's so they can be divided up to have 2 private lessons or a group lesson and private lesson going at once in each... Although because I do my lessons so late (usually around 5:30 PM) I get the indoor arena to myself and it's like... my favourite feeling in the world. :p

    It is!! It's ridiculous.
    Wow your riding school sounds amazing! I've never ridden in an inside arena but it sounds like a magical feeling!

    At my riding school, it's not too bad I guess, but it still seems like a lot...
    Unserviced mob paddock agistment is $60 a week.
    Unserviced private paddock is $75 without shelter, or $98 with shelter a week.
    Serviced private paddock (incl. hay, 2 standard feeds & rugs on/off as required) is $130 without shelter or $150 with shelter.
    Serviced stable (incl. private paddock without shelter, muck out, horse taken in/out, hay, 2 standard feeds, and rugs on/off as required) is $210...

    And then there's fees, like if you have your horse in an unserviced paddock, and they need their rugs on/off it's $10 each time, at the discretion of the riding school...

    There's some photos of our indoor arena in a couple of these galleries! :)
    It really is a nice place!

    Wow! It is kind of expensive...but I'm sure there are places that are much more expensive than yours.
    And your riding school looks awesome I must say!

    Aw I just saw this thread and it made me smile because I just went riding yesterday, and I hadn't been for a while :)
    I used to ride all the time when I was younger, I had a few horses when I was younger and I did Pony Club with one of them and gaming with the other, but I sold them after High School and now I only go riding once in a while but I really do miss it. There's few feelings in the world that can match the freedom of the wind in your hair when your horse is in a full-on gallop in an open field

    Yeah, I've seen places that are much more expensive! But I guess a horse needs land and food and other things, so it's no different than paying for rent and groceries, right? :p

    My riding school is great! I remember the first time I walked in there, I'd only been on like 3 or 4 trail rides before, and I'd ridden my friend's 11hh Shetland cross on their ranch a little, and I literally walked into my riding school and my jaw dropped so much. :p I had heard good things about it, but I wasn't expecting it to be what it is!
