So, encouraged by 'horsey' members, this new thread is dedicated to those who hold a fascination (active or otherwise) on the subject of horseback riding or anything equine.

Okay, let's ride... Giddup! Yee Haw!!
Back in "Blighty" one of my former girlfriends had a horse called "Hoof-Hearted"

Mine have 2 names .... the formal registered name and the usual daily name. One is Jimmer's Legacy (Legs) and the other is Dandy's Nifty Chick (Chicki).

Chicki is the herd (of 2) boss!

I will spend today looking for a pic or taking another one.

Ok.. found a picture of the 'girls'. Chicki is the palamino; Legs the bay. This is the first time I have uploaded a picture so not sure if it will work. Any advice on uploading will be appreciated if I got it wrong.

This is your OP on Jack earlier today, after a very worked, near exhaustive 2 hour stint inside an indoor arena (Jack is not my own horse). He's extremely alert and responds well to what's directed of him. I think he's 16h, maybe 15.3h... a 15 year old Cob, of sorts!

Sometime soon I'll post a few jpgs of my equestrian paintings. Some of you know I'm an artist.

PMSL! Love that "kiss me" - I've never seen that on a cowboy hat before!
