I've been meaning to start blogging again, and this month's 10 Questions from Viva Carlos seemed like a nice way to start.
Does your horse need shoes? I really don't know. My horse has had shoes the whole time I've owned him, but he'd probably be fine barefoot. He got his feet done this morning, and I asked the farrier to have him barefoot if possible, but to put shoes back on if not. Haven't heard from the farrier and also haven't gone to see my horse today, so I have no idea.
What do you think of the barefoot vs shoes debate? Do what's best for your horse.
Favorite season for riding? Spring. Time to get back to the trails, and in the past, time to start jumping again. Couldn't have jumps in the indoor at the old barn, so we took winters off from jumping.
How many shows do you think you’ve gone to? I've lost count, but somewhere between 10 and 20. I average 1-2 a year. Hopefully that will change now that I've got my own horse.
Do you consider yourself a good rider? Yes and no. I can ride a lot of horses and stick a lot of stuff, but when it comes to looking pretty or doing any particular discipline, not so much.
How experienced do you think someone needs to be to own a horse? A lot of people that do probably shouldn't, but it's not really any of my business.
Have you ever gotten into a fight with your trainer? Not really, but I'm sure it'll happen someday.
Describe your dream horse. I already had both my dream horses and lost them. Didn't own them, but still. One was a chestnut quarter horse that was super speedy, but also super anxious. The other was a goofy, somewhat crazy chestnut Arab. Miss both of them so much, and I'd do anything to get either one of them back.
Does anyone in your family ride? No.
If you could ride any horse in the world, which one would it be? why? I don't know if he's even still in this world, but I'd do anything to ride Harry again. I'd also do anything just to be around Amigo again, even if I didn't get to ride him, but that's not happening.
