I have an Arabian also, my Bay is 23 years old... My husband has an Arab Mustang cross mare, and we also have a pony we don't know why we own ;~D
Since we're talking about horses laying down... here's me with my Arab and our pony.
Here's me on Bay
And here's my husband on his Arab/Mustang
We mostly trail ride, though I used to show Arabs and used to jump and ride a little dressage.
We'd love to see some pictures of yours! Ask anyone, I always nag people to show me pictures!
I bought our first horse because my daughter wanted one. ("Horses can't be that expensive. How much hay can they eat?")
Now we own three that live in a $50,000 barn. And all three kids (16,14,10) show horses... English and Western, different saddles, tack, etc. (more money)
My daughters show in local shows and 4-H. But next year the 16 year old will start showing on the Arab circuit. (English, Western) My son wants to stop showing and just do Speed Events.
I am the one in charge of getting the horses ready... transitions, lead changes, head set, etc. I'm 2 years new to horses but love it all.
For myself, I work the horses in lessons, trail ride 3-4 times per week and have started some barrel racing.
My buddy wants me to begin penning. Maybe I will start that this year. Who knows.
Here is the only pic I have on this computer. The horse is not mine. It is of me riding when I was in Mexico a few weeks back.
I went down there on business and got to ride nearly every day.
My Spanish was greatly expanded. Before going, I knew, "mas cervesas" and "mas tequila."
And now I know "mas caballos."
