Horses have been a part of my life since I was 4 years old. I can't imagine life without them. My husband wishes I'd treat him as well as I do my horses (LOL). Well, what can I say? I love them a lot. We currently have 6 horses. Let me introduce them to you. Click on the photos below for more information and photos of each horse.
Hank Joy Stormy Derby Ice Cheyenne We ride our horses in competitions called playdays. Playdays are great for families because they involve the whole family (which is different than most other sports). We compete in many events that are all similar to barrel racing. All of the events are timed. Whoever completes the pattern correctly, with the fastest time, wins. There are classes for all age groups, from 6 and under to 55 and over. So the whole family rides and cheers each other on. We belong to the Pioneer Riding Club, which is in District 7 of the
(National Association of Riding Clubs and Sheriff's Posses)
I have been competing in playdays since I was 5 years old. I got my husband into it when I met him. He enjoys it as well. Our whole family rides together, even our little boys. We compete from March until October at arenas in the North Texas area. It is a somewhat inexpensive way to have fun since the entry fees range from only $1-5. Great family fun! Come see us sometime! Check the link above for a calendar of events and maps to the arenas.
I also give riding lessons. Check out my other website at www.WesternRidingLessons.com
