This is crazy!
It looks just like old HL minus spam! It's cool to have it back.
Those of you who know me from elsewhere know my situation - I don't generally post a lot of photos or specific names because the horses I work with don't belong to me so I don't have the liberty of putting stuff out on the internet. But a little about what I do.
I work at two therapeutic riding programs, where I volunteer for classes and also work horses that are new to the programs to test them out - or ones that are not new and just need more work! This is cool because it means I get to work with and ride many different breeds, personalities and levels of training.
I'm also a working student at a dressage barn, where I take lessons in exchange for several hours of work per week. I'm glad to get the chance to improve and to learn dressage at the same time.
I look forward to hearing from all the old timers, and maybe get some new users as well!

Haha, I've tried my best! I miss all of you guys so much It just feels so empty and I could never get into other forums, it just lacked something, you know what I mean?
That sounds like a pretty awesome job to be honest
Welcome back

Re: This is crazy!
Thats cool you get to help ride and select horses for riding programs like that, I hope to hear more about it, and I know everyone would like to hear about the different horses you've worked with in the past. I find it commendable that you help out the organizations like that
Re: This is crazy!
Thanks guys! I know what you mean Melissa, I've been on a couple other forums but they never really had the same feeling of HL.
It is a lot of fun! I get to ride such a variety of horses, it's pretty cool. Everything from Haflingers to National Show Horses to Percherons, QHs and TBs. Of course, some are crazy - but when they're really good, it's awesome!

Re: This is crazy!
I generally don't have time for forums and just never really enjoyed the other ones and honestly wouldn't want the people I know to know I'm on any lol.
I'm glad you found a working student position and are getting dressage lessons, dressage is definitely one of those things that if you can learn to ride it well, it will help you in anything you do. Anyways I hope you're enjoying it!

YOU'VE RIDDEN A PERCHERON? Jealous. Hahaha.
I agree that it's good you get to ride such a variety of horse, that's one of the things I've really enjoyed about not having my own horse at the riding school, I feel like it's given me different experiences.
I just wish you could post more photos! haha

Re: This is crazy!
Learning dressage has helped so much in my other riding, I'm so much more aware of how much I influence my horse with how I use my body. I'm not great at it, lol - just learning shoulder in right now - but I get better each time and my trainer tells me my position has improved immensely over the last year. So it's a lot of fun and it's paying off!
Yes Kelly, I've ridden a Percheron Actually at another barn right now I have a Hackney pony I'm riding - tiny little thing. Quite the difference between the two!
Maybe I shall send you some photos on FB. Sending them privately is one thing, I just don't like to have them sitting on the internet for anyone to see.
