Title: So, whose got a horse?
Post by: scarpsD40 on February 09, 2015, 04:24:16 AM: Think this is somewhat relevant given the link to the outback and high country. Who still has or has had horses. Were they for work or play? Did they have any unique features or talent?
Haven't been horse riding for years, but still admire their stature.
Add pics where you can.

I don't ride really, just the odd trail ride. It my mrs thing.

She does a bit of Reining. But nothing too serious.

Post by: terravista on February 09, 2015, 08:59:01 AM: We babysit our daughters two horses on and off splitting between our back yard and hers, both acreages.
She has a retired standardbred gelding and thoroughbred mare.
She wants to get into horse archery and needs a big plodder for that, like a Clydie or Percheron. The standardbred is getting too old though he can handle the archery, but the thoroughbred is too flighty for the noise.
She needs to get rid of the thoroughbred mare first, though it has good bloodlines and won around $30 000 and her brother is still doing well, both from the Magic Millions on the Gold Coast.
I have a total riding experience of 2 minutes on a hire horse that would not move, but after years of the daughters Pony Club I am pretty comfotable around normal sized horses, but these coldblooded horses are a different matter, they are bloody huge.

Beautiful mine don't look nearly as lovely as that all out in the paddock with some dread locks at the moment which seem never ending but I love them all the same.

He's not mine, he belongs to my niece. I have been up at my brothers the last three weekends building cattle yards. He is the lawn mower in the house paddock at the moment, I'm not normally a horse person but he is great
