I was just wondering the following questions...I stuck my answers in there for fun
Do any of you guys ride?
I take lessons weekly.
Do you do English or Western?
English
What different gaits have you ridden?
Walk, trot, canter, lol and bucking if that counts as a gait (it should since it's nothing like the others)
Can you jump? If so how high?
I can trot/canter over jumps, I think the highest I've done is probably about 2 feet high.
So yeah. Anyone here ride? _________________ Dog- Ana

Don't ride that much but done walking troting cantering and galloping and also bucking since you counted as a gait.
I ride western and started on english.
I've done it all. Trot, Walk, Canter, Gallop, Bucking, and one you didn't count I was on a horse and trying to show my mom how to control her horse and my horse ran up to hers and tried to fight him. He missed when he kicked and kicked my mom in the ankle (she was on the horse).
lol that sounds painful.
I might've galloped, not so sure what it feels like exactly. Definitely hand-galloped though. And of course I've been bucked on...just a few nights ago actually was probably the some of the best bucks I've been given in quite a while.
sumsolusfleo, do you ride English or Western?
The only times I've ridden Western are once at a summer camp where they didn't have English saddles, and pony rides. _________________ Dog- Ana

Sorry it took so long for me to reply! I've been really busy.
Not sure what you mean exactly Firewolf...if you mean the specific barn I go to, that's definitely a bit too personal to be posting on a website.
I call the whole thing in general 'the stables', or 'the barn', and if you mean where I actually ride, it's based on whether it's our indoor or outdoor ring. Then it's 'the indoor' or 'the outdoor', or if I've specified already, 'the ring'.
Sorry if that didn't answer your question.
sumsolusfleo,
This is what an English saddle looks like generally:
This one is a Western one:
They sometimes don't have all the funky carvings, but most of the ones I've seen do. _________________ Dog- Ana
