Introduction
Hello,
I am just getting back into horseback riding after a 5 year break because of a cervical fusion. I am really not supposed to ride, but I just couldn't take the lack of horses in my life anymore. I started riding on the reservation at 3 years old sans helmet, shoes, and tack. I went through the english, western, endurance (with my 17 hand hunter) and even side saddle phases. I can drive a single horse or a team of four thanks to a great teacher I had in my teens. I currently have a 6 year old, 12.1 hand high mustang pony named Pompeii. He has only been mounted three times so far.
On the 13th my partner is getting a rescued T-bred that is over 17 hands - we will make quite the pair riding together. He has only been mounted three times so far. I am into natural horsemanship having spent my formative years riding bareback with a rope through my pony's mouth. Unluckily I have no pictures from that period in my life, just memories!
My first pony
My first show pony-Billy
My first hunter/jumper - Badger
And my current pony Pompeii on his first day mounted
