I really, really want to go fox hunting. Just once, on something that's 1000% bomb proof and will let me just hold on and enjoy the ride. Just once, so I can cross it off my list. It looks so much fun.

I too want a reining horse...mostly for the outfit. I want an excuse to have a big sparkly belt buckle and some pretty, fringy chaps. And the horse should be as blingy as my outfit...lots of white please :)

I also want to learn how to drive (a horse/pony that is, not a car...I can already do that).


ETA...I want to gallop on a beach. Through the surf and sand. I feel I should be riding western for this, but I'm not sure why.

I would like to ride a parade horse (with all the blingy tack - a great ASB would do) in the Rose Parade.

I want to ride an ASB in a big show with all the clapping and cheering and be on the biggest strutting horse in the ring. (crap that would get me clobbered on TOB) Then I'll win and get one of those freaking huge ribbons, a trophy that weighs 200 pounds and have the crowd cheering and yelling.


Me too :P
I spent summers in Kentucky going to all the county fairs. Loved the cheering crowd, bright lights, high steppin horses, flashing cameras etc!

Of course, I'd probably vomit on the way to the ring....

I"ve got mine and I dont like it!

I wanted a safe sound sane boring ol well broke cheap non-showing quarter horse I could do anything on.
Rosie is all that. But.... boooorrrrrrrrrrrrrrring!!!
I bought all the western tack including some bling, did some western stuff like barrels, gymkhana, cattle penning, but it sure isn't "me".

Now I want to go back to the flashy fancy very expensive english showhorse, of which I can only ever afford (or want, in the case around here, due to lack of basic 'trainers' training skills) a greenie, so I can start it up *right* my way.

Maybe Mr Bigbutt Baby will be the compromise I need?

Onyx you know what I say to that..............she's waiting for you to come get her. ( I am really serious )

I want to carry the flag in the arena during the Star Spangled Banner at a rodeo.

I want to drive or a least ride along with the Budweiser Clydesdales.

I do in fact want a Gypsy Vanner but that will never happen.

I want to do drill team and mounted patrol.

I want, more than anything in the whole world, a spunky little Hackney pony and a two-wheeled buggy/cart/whatever those are called.  I am an embarrassment to TWH people everywhere.  :innocent:

Those are roadster ponies! I have done it before, not showing though. It can be kind of hair raising at times.

Thanks! I knew they had to be called something, but I wasn't sure what it was. :unsure: It looks like so much fun!

Ok- I'll fess up too....

I really think those cutting horses are NEAT. I'm a hunter princess through and through, but yanno....that cutting stuff looks FUN as heck!

I tried saddle seat on a friend's 5 gaited horse when I was a kid...I gotta say...it was fun as all get out! He was the coolest horse!

hmmm....what else, oh, I love Appies. I love the "Wap" line and would love me a Appy hunter. So cute and handy and spotted <3 ;)

I want to ride a Grand Prix dressage horse and try to get it to do stuff....I DON'T want dressage lessons. I DON'T want to learn how to ride dressage. I just want a GP horse to tinker with.

Ooooh, I've gotten to live your fantasy a few times and IT IS ALL THAT AND A BAG OF POTATO CHIPS!!! Piaffe, passage, tempi changes, pirouttes - often above the bit mind you - but damn it is fun!!

I have a not-so-secret fetish for watching all of the "Natural Horsemanshit" stuff on RFD TV and I have developed a liking for Dennis Reis. I'll never do most of the stuff he does, but I enjoy watching him and I think he's a really good horseman.

I really want a dark dappled buckskin. It has to be covered with smokey dapples and have very dark legs, mane and tail with just a star for markings.

I love team penning, and would like to start doing it again. I boarded at the LA Equestrian Center for a few years and I would join my cowboy friends on my big warmblood, riding in my english saddle, and we would actually get some decent times penning the calves. My warmblood had some serious cow sense once he figured it out, and we could take a calf down the center line with him swapping leads and keeping the cow right in front of him.

zbar, I have an idea!

My secret desire is to have a mini donkey cart drill team....we should combine the big drafties and the VSE drill teams and put on a spectacular show! Wouldn't that be something?

My goal in life is to have a leopard appaloosa eventer. Don't ask why, I couldn't even begin to explain any of it to you, it's like how turtles go to a beach, just ingrained things that make no sense.

Mine is something I actually did, and it makes me laugh AND shake my head in shame to even think about it today - the STUPIDITY ... here's how I posted it on CoTH:

"Twenty years ago, with help from SEC (someone else's children) I "hitched" - this is technically a misnomer since hitching would imply shafts, traces, etc, when what we were actually dealing with was a breastcollar and some bailing twine - a small pony to a round saucer type sled. And then placed aforementioned SEC in the round sled.

The children survived and are now functioning adults, but, really, no thanks to me."


And then ... two other people also confessed to actually doing the same thing! Some days I wonder when Darwin himself is going to swoop in and collect me. :innocent:

Have to say that I have been there and done that - for MANY YEARS :lol: :lol: !

The only place I actually :spew: was before a "World Championship" class at Louisville one year.
