Most Beautiful Horses!!!!!

Ugg! Malakai looks gorgeous! So jealous

Thanks! He doesn't usually look like that, 'though. He's a bit of a mud-monster! I thought that he had been swapped with a chestnut once!

I just moved to a farm, planning on getting an arab, but before that, I rode lesson horses. Rode on grey that I swear, lived in it's poop. I would spend half of the time at the barn grooming him!

Shame I was lucky enough that the grooms would take care of Mels, I only had to brush him if I took him in from the paddock when it had recently rained.

I know .Well, I am moving in a few days to a ranch, and when I look for horses, greys won't be on the top of the list!

Yeah. XD One thing I've never been able to get is why one has to wear white jods at a show. Is it a test on our ability to keep clean. A (stupid) tradition? Are the judges observing how much we fall off and put care into our horses? Clean being the rider getting a someone else do all the work on their horse, moderately dirty means that the rider looks after their horse and covered in dirt/sand means that they're prone to falling off.
What riding do you do? English, Western, trick-riding?

I do English, used to do eventing, but switched to jumping when my trainer told me I was better suited to something that was less "rough". Eventing was a whole different story, you wear a big vest, so no matter how dirty you are, it'll be ok. I get your entire "white" thing. I love jumping, don't get me wrong, but I will never get the concept of braiding, but I'm doing ok! I totally feel the white breeches/jods thing, it makes it quite embarrassing when I fall....

Awesome! Show-jumping's my favourite, Teal loves it, too!

Eventing... jeesh, that's - how do I describe it? Brave? Daring? My mum won't let me anywhere near a cross-country course. Closest I got was when she said I could do stadium eventing, 'though I never got round to that...

I think braiding is used to emphasize the shape of the horse's neck. Maybe I'm wrong...

Ug. Never will get braiding!
Glad to find some other show-jumpers on here!
My definition of eventing:
Riding your horse through woods in a protective vest trying not to die. That's literally what I did!
Lol, stadium eventing?

Yeah, I've never braided a horse that didn't move.
Me too!
That sounds like the perfect definition from what I've been told!
That's what my mum called it. *shrugs*
