I've been sitting on a horse since I was 2 but never had formal lessons.  Had a major gap of being 'without a horse to ride' and now back with it.

Answer 6

30+.....my body feels more like 100 yrs and I do think somedays that maybe I AM the walking dead.

Answer 7

about 20 years and im 22 now i was breaking ponies my dad would buy from auction to resell when i was 10. i would go to to auctions with him when i got alittle bit older. at the livestock auctions we used to go to in shipsawana, indiana some of the horses/ponies were pretty sad, skinny, sick, hooves curling from not being trimmed. my dad was a big softy even though he acted tough, every once in a while he would bring home one of those negleted horses/ponies. feed them, make them healthy again and then find them a good home.

Answer 8

Im 14 and been riding for 2 years!

Answer 9

really riding since I was 5 until I was 24 then met a man and after we got married, he forbade me to ride...*kicks myself* I listened for 8 years. Now I have horses again and a man that supports my first love and doesn't mind knowing that I love my horses as much as I love him. =)

Very little formal riding training. But a lot of educated horse people all throughout life to help me along the way.

Answer 10

twelve years.

Answer 11

Horserider,

You're the SAME age as my God Daughter!  My old QH used to babysit her while she was in her carrier, attached to the cross ties at my barn and I'd park the old QH in front of her with his leadrope dropped...LOL

I think I was about 6 when my dad using his clout found a sargent who had horses and talked him into letting me come down and ride his old QH gelding around the stables on occassion.

Then we moved to Merced, CA where my mom's childhood friend raised Quarter Horses and I could go over there and ride.

So, I guess, after doing the math, I've been riding for about 49 years...  Sheesh, I'm getting OLD!!!!!!!
