Answer 15

all the right questions

i was 8 years old

i traded 1000 dollars and a parade saddle for him

i payed for it but my parents were very giving at xmas time and every b-day i got goverment bonds and stuff so pritty much they did

no experience

started western only but now i do both

i've had him almost 10 years

APPALOOSA!!!!!! the best kind, he was five then, i STRONGLY reccomend getting an older horse though, like the one i give lessons on, a "bomb proof" one, whether it has show experience or not, it doesn't matter, it'll be alot easier to learn how to ride, that's my only regret about my first horse. most people who start with a horse younger than 10 years old they end up getting frustrated and quitting riding all together!!!   def. something you don't want to do

Answer 16

Hi congrats

Anyways

1.) I was 15 when i got my first horse, but began leasing him first.

2.) He costed 1500 dollars cause he was 20 and had done a few shows.

3.) My parents paid cause they knew how much i wanted him.

4.) I rode for about 4 months before i leased him and almost a year before we bought him.

5.) I started to ride basic english, then swithched to basic western, now i do dressage (english)

6.)I have had him for about a year in november

7.) he is the best horse ever. His name is Hap an he is a appaloosa who is about 20 years old. I love him to death!!

Answer 17

7. TB cross, 12 years old

Answer 18

1.i was thirteen, but had been saving since i was ten.

2.$750, talked down from $1000 on a mare that had been rescued.

3.i pay half of everything, my parents pay the other half.

4.two lessons.. lol.. thats bad but true, and i ended up training my mare for specifics.. she only knew the basics and i havent had lessons since i bought her and nobody notices. i place at my shows and have had great success with her, so we must be doing something right.

5.i started in western for the first two years, then started her in english. for awhile i rode both, but now i usually only ride western if im gonna be doing speed since she has amazing english movements and loves jumping.

6.three years if you havent already done the math

7.she is TBxQH.. nonregistered but im trying...she shows more TB in her, but she is about 14years old and acts like a two year old.
