Horse Rider asked:
I have been wondering if I ride horses through high school, can I get a scholarship to college? I have been intending to go to Texas A&M. I am going to become a freshman this year and I want to be with horses. I havent shown in riding shows yet. Is there a way I could get a scholarship?

The Animal Psychiatrist♬♪ asked:
My horse, Forest is a beutiful thoroughbred gelding. But part of being a thoroughbred is the spirit that comes with it. I cannot wear any crinkly clothing, like raincoats, because he spooks at the crinkly noise. How can I keep warm while it’s snowing?
I can’t spend much money

My daughter is 2. she loves horses. we have 2 very special QH geldings, one that is 21 and pays no attention to her. (good sign huh?) and the other that is 6 and obviously too immature for such special cargo. we also have a friend that runs a traning facility for kids. she has had kids as young as 3 begin to ride. i was 5 when i started riding but i begged for years. how old do you think is appropriate? little help parents! thanks

Elana A asked:
Maybe its because I have only had 2 lessons…im making riding my athletics so i have to ride about 3 times a week, and the other two days I work around the stable…is it weird that I like grooming the horse better than riding? Is it because Im still learning posting and such?

Horse Rider asked: I want to try riding my horse bareback. I want to gain that experience. My grandmother said that when she first rode a horse it was bareback, but she doesn’t know anything about horses really. Is it anything like riding without stirrups? I would be harder without the support of the saddle, I know that. Any tips on when is right and how to do this?
Great answers!
Yeah, I ride both English and Western.

amber m asked:
I’m just a beginner and new to the enduranc/trail riding sport, and wanted to get some tips and ideas from experienced riders. Thanks!
So let’s pretend that I have a ten year old Appaloosa gelding; what do I need to go on a 25-50 mile endurance ride? Definitely need my horse, helmet, comfortable clothes, stethoscope, etc, but what else do I need?
