Was sitting here wondering who here has horses, or rides horses. I know y'all are out there, but I dont know who exactley. What kind of horses do you ride? What events? What kind of horse or stock trailer do you pull with your diesel? Just wondering....

 

I'm here. Born into horses with a mom and grandpa that both raised em. Trained profesionally for a few years until a new baby and wife made a real job and life an important thing. I'm finally out of the breeding business as of this year and once I get a 2 and 3 year old started this summer I hope to be out of the young horse business to. I'm to old for this young man's game now days. I was in the horse trailer business for some years both selling and renting trailers and did some commercial livestock and horse hauling. Now I'm finally out of all the business aspects of it now except playin with trailer parts here and there and some trailer customizin as I feel like doin it. I also vollunteer time to the local Therapee horse program workin with the physically and mentally disabled riding program. I work with the kids and do training and assesment with the horses for them. Horses are all for fun now and I'm likin it much better.

We cut the numbers way down over the last fall and winter because of feed prices and now just down to 4 left that will never go anyplace. Even had to get rid of the cattle cause of the feed bill.

Now the kids grown and gone, I'm on to the next wife, retired from the Military life and tryin to rebuild from a tornado that trashed all the farm 3 days before Christmas this last year. Life is good.

 

I use to ride all the time. I did some barrel racing but mostly showed in western and english I also worked at a ranch giving riding lessons to kids and training horses. When I got pregnant with my first I wasnt able to spend alot of time with my horse and she went crazy the vet said he thought she had some kind of imbalance in her brain I cant remember exactly. I sold her to the high school rodeo association for a bucking horse because well at that point thats all she was good at . Since then I never really got back into it but my mom still rides. I was thinking of buying a horse not to long ago but then I talked to my mom and she told me how much the price's of everything has gone up and decided I will just ride hers when I want to .

 

me too! trained/ competed , rodeo n such, raised on ranch, have a 28 foot 5 horse slantload gooseneck circle j. and a 2006 cummins that pulls 'er. got 5 horses, 2 paints 3 appendix quarters. competed and one two saddles and like 12 belt buckles and 7 arena records on my gelding. thats all for now got to get movin. GOING tO DIESEL RALLY!!!! WOOOT!!

 

Well good deal!! I was raised on a few ranches in Kansas and Texas. I own my own horse training business, BMW Horse Training. I really enjoy starting two year olds. I team rope, on the head side. I just purchased a Two Eyed Jack bred finished QH gelding for $10,000 just before I left. I hauled him twice, and won first and second on him after practicing on him for only a week. So I think he's a good buy. I was 7th in the state of Kansas my JR year, before I moved to Illinois my senior year, in the team roping. I have a 24' featherlite that was recently sold to my future father in law, and will be buying a similar sized Titan. I have 5 ranch rodeo titles, with the Bar E Ranch of Cottonwood Falls KS, as well as several USTRC team roping wins in the #5 roping, and about a dozen buckles in fat cash jackpots. I've yet to win a saddle, or truck, just seems like it falls apart sometimes. I've been real close, just to fall to the wayside and come home with some custom spurs and a check. I plan on hitting it real hard when I return home, I have a fantastic heeler, and we're out for the money. Well that's me.

 

Me too. We raise Andalusians and Morgans, with a few odd ones like a mini and a Friesian. Show mostly rail classes, do some paid shows similiar to the Royal Lipp's. 'Bout 70 head give or take on the farm, I'm only riding one now myself, work takes up most of my time, used to train outside horses when I was but a wee apprentice. 26' Featherlite and 38' Custom Goertzen. Just waiting for a lottery win to go get my baby Freightburner.

 

Awesome. I rode a couple of Morgans at a feedlot once. They did good. Tough feet on them hosses...and they actually had some cow sense.

 

Yup, me too. Married into it. Family has 25 Arabians on 155 acres. 1 Cummins in a truck, 2 cummins in the tractors and 2 DMAX (2001 and a 2005) as well as our 2 TDI's.
