What breed of horse are you? Find out! Hey Everyone!!!! I'm grace. I LOVE horses so much. I shareboard a great Black Tb/Qh/ Hanovarian gelding named Beacon!! I am 11 years old and have been riding horses for about 4 years.Here is my story. I started going to a horse camp at a very large farm called Carosoul Farms with my best friend. That got me into riding. I rode an adorable welsh pony named Toby. He was the best. I had so much fun on him.
Somehow my mom found a smaller less expensive barn called stone mountain stables. There I had a great instructer name Megan. I rode a lot of horses at SMS. I loved to ride Honey and Cleo. Then I met Swiper. He was great. I started to lease him in august of 2006 or 2007. I sorta forget but anyway.
People at our barn decided to go different ways. Out beloved instructer left and along went some of our great barn friends. We didn't have an instructer for about a week. Then we got an instructer. She got fired.
Eventually, I grew out of Swiper so I had to move to a larger horse. I had no horse to turn to besides chet. I was going to shareboard him or Keegan. Chet got lame a lot so i didn't share board him. but, before I had a chance to shareboard Keegan, Tee Belle came along.
I saw her and loved her!!!!! She is a 14.2hh Paint Mare. She spooks a lot of different things and is sorta clumsy. but, despite all the bad things, I started to shareboard her in 2008. We had made a lot of progress together and love each other. We have gotten 2nd and 3rd placings in shows. Tee over jumps but is awsome! I reasently have jumped her "2'6"
Unfortanantly. By barn has had another 'twist'. The owner of the barn I am riding at changed his prices by 100%. Nobody can afford it. So, most everyone is leaving.
I found a new barn thankfully! It is Standing Ovation. There they have so many great things! trails, indoor+ourdoor arena, pastures to ride in, and the greatest thing, great horses! I found the best horse there. His name is Beacon. He is amazing. Beacon is a really high level horse. He is a Black 15.2hh TB/QH/Hanovarion that jumps and does high level dressage. But, I found a new horse just a few days ago (10/10/09) and fell in love. I am now leasing a Chestnut Appendix Named Rocco. He is a 6 year old appendix and is amazing. I love him!
I am also Starting to train a two year old horse named Rumble Strip aka Rip. Rip is a pinto Gelding. He has never been ridden and I will be riding him after i get him worked out and ready to be broken under saddle. That time is hard to tell, but i cannot wait!!!
I have the best Trainer i could wish for. She is the second to highest level you can get in Pony Club. She is strict, and seriosous about riding, She is nice, kind, funny, and she is helpful. If you look at my videos of me riding tee, and me riding Beacon, there is a huge improvment!!! My other Kind of trainer is adam. Adam is a really nice guy. He is the beginner trainer at my barn. He gives the lunge lessons and just for beginners.
Thanks to Kaitlyn for teaching me how to Put music on my page!

HUNTER PACE!!
Ok, so on sunday I took Rocco to a Hunter Pace along with Nina, Debbie, and Lindsay. Rocco was really good. But lets start before the hunter pace took place. We went to the barn at 4:00 and left the barn at 5:00. (We meant to leave earlier...) We drove for about 1 1/2 hours, when we got off the highway To get some gas. Right when we got off the highway we heard a noise on the back of the truck. The truck started dragging to the gas station, and when we parked we found we had a completely flat ti… Continue

INteresting Lesson+Worst Fall yet!
So i was riding Rocco in my lesson, cuz I lease him now. He has a pretty big rushy problem over fences that I am trying to fix. Anyway. I warmed him up walk/trot/canter, and tryed to keep my leg steady throughout each w/t/c. And also my hands. After warming up w/t/c we jumped around a little. We first trotted in a little x-rail and cantered out. Lindsay has been working with me to grab mane in the center of Rocco's neck over the jumps. We did all the jumps a few times at the trot, and then cante… Continue
