Hey y'all, I'm new here. Not much to say about me, just a country girl from Montana. 21 years old, been riding horses since I was about 2, and barrel racing since I was 5. Haven't gotten to do it in a few years, though - I'm in college, and I can't afford to keep a horse. I go home as often as I can to ride though! My dad just got a new Quarter ( Read more... )

Ok, I've always hated Parelli because he's a money squandering jerk, but I've recently given in and been looking everywhere for more tools to use in training my horses. I have read his book and am doing his level 1 program. I've learned a lot, but I don't suck up every little thing he does, and I'm certainly not following his program like I ( Read more... )

Winter season/my life to come

For those of you that live in colder states, do you ever feel like your life has run out of fulfillment in the fall/winter? Haha, WHY does Michigan's winter season suck worse than other cold weather states?

I hate to be a spoiled brat, but I want my horses now please. I want them to not be over an hour away at my parent's house. I want them to be right outside the door like they used to be when I lived with Mom and Dad. I want to be able to go to barrel races.
