WELL!
I have been riding since I was 11. Strictly English.
I currently have 2 horses, Winston, a 3 year old 1/2 Thoroughbred, 1/4 percheron, 1/4 morgan gelding. I eventually plan to do eventing with him. He's steel-grey, big, heavy, and BRAVE! Nothing phases him. He thinks he is so tough.

I have yet to get on her but we're doing a ton of groundwork. She's dapple grey, dainty, and a great little jumper. She's a little bit flighty, and gets worked up pretty easily.

I take lessons once a week with a really great coach, and I ride pretty much 5-7 times a week, and I'm down at the barn for hours everyday.

Awesome!
I did western horse camp, 1 week in the summer for 2 years and then a lady my dad works with gave him the sign-up sheet for Meadowview Farm (if you want to see my at my fattest and baggy clothes check me out under "Riding Camp", I was a counselor and also young). So I rode there since I was 11 until 18 when two things happened: a)I moved an hour away to school b)and this is what really brought the dry spell, my trainer whom I love love love decided to give up riding teaching to teach karate and self-defense full time instead of part-time. She has her own place now, which is cool for her. Her riding ability is so amazing though! crying
So! I rode hunter jumper for that time and eventually moved up to 2 lessons a week, awesome. I had two lease horses who lived with non-horse people who had a barn and three horses (don't ask *facepalm*) so in exchange for cheap board I took care of the barn, 4 horses, two goats, a flock of chickens, and one crooked barn cat (car accident). It certainly polished me up and pretty much guarenteed that horses were my everything.
When I was 16 the people I boarded with bred their mare (*facepalm*) and I had a baby! His registered name is "Wahoo's Blue" 'cause they named him Blue. Please guess what color his eyes are. *facepalm* He is a really pretty black paint stock with an almost whiteface and those blue eyes. His whiteface wasn't large enough to be a paint paint but he is still a APHA with AQHA origins. His maternal grandfather, Lucks Chic Gay (TBxQH), is a successful quarter horse racer. So I got to raise a baby from day one, it was very cool and when he was 1 I bought him. Pssh, they should have just charged me the stud fee since if I hadn't been there her wouldn't even have been halter trained.
I had him until he was 3 and it just got so difficult to have time for him and being away at school. We had just started under saddle and he was a joy. I sold him really quick crying because a lady just happened to be in our barn (I moved him away from the *facepalm* to a reasonable boarder with all day turnout) and she was looking for a forever horse that had been raised exactly as Blue was, one person loving and training him so he didn't have hang-ups and fears *sniffsniff*. He's still my baby.
You can see I could talk about Blue until the cows come home. Sorry, I got excited (it's been 5 years).
Anyway. Hunter jumper, didn't show much, didn't really interest me. I rode school horses and had fun with them. I worked as a turnout girl and show groom when they needed me, a Student Helper for lesson people, day camp counselor, and I was also a Polo groom which was pretty cool and very fast-paced. I love learning new things. I'll be starting dressage lessons at my new work place next week, exciting!
