I did for awhile but then i freed them all and let the sets loose on my art studio! LOL

Dude i totally need to come now that the date is set!   i have soooo many ponies that need new homes

   Great info guys!!


and i consider myself to be an expertly trained rider (considering i used to teach hunter jumper, endurance trail, and basic horsemanship before my surgeries)        I just have never boarded my own horse, its why i ask because i always leased or used a lesson horse for everything.   i have been trained in horsemanship since i was 10.   its really just the boarding i am having trouble with as i never had to do it. 


Thank you for all that helpful info Joce.   I knew a lot of what you mentioned but some things i did not know! or consider when purchasing.      and the horse i am looking at is 17 years old.  and the owner described him to me as a great babysitter lol. which is exactly what i want, a calm horse i can take out and just ride with.  i will do at least the first 3 gaits walk, trot, canter.   as long as he is trail safe im good.   
 i can handle a high strung horse but i would PREFER not to since my back is the way it is now.  i really just want to ride again for pleasure and physical activity and bonding.   i am not interested in showing anymore.  not with my back.   (going on sunday to meet him and give him a little test run. to see his temperment etc. )

   I'm seriously looking at purchasing a rideable horse for myself as i used to ride often but the last 2 years with the surgeries knocked me out of the game.   I have been severely depressed and feeling bad about myself lately and i think i need an outlet to regain some independence.  not to mention it would be nice to have a nice companion.  If i am able to afford him i am going to try to board him at a local facility  (this is a rescue horse that im trying to gather money for and he is older and very gentle and calm). 


 any tips for boarding horses? 


  I have a horse already but he lives down in texas right now and i do not ride him as he is only for stud use and is not broken.  So i have never had to board a horse anywhere before so i'm wondering what all i should need BEFORE purchasing a horse.   and what i should look out for and what all i need to know about horse boarding.


Please and Thank you  <3

They look pretty neat   nice to see some fan favorites there  definately getting nightmare moon, she looks great!

 although i really wish they didnt look so goofy lol.  the unicorn mols faces bug the heck outta me    I might get dj, and zecora just because they are neat (just wish they looked a little nicer face wise but thats cause im insanely picky) 


and wow lancer, my best advice is to ignore those people!  they are obviously trolls, and just not nice in general.  who has the time to harrass people like that?  yeesh.   I know quite a few awesome FUN bronies (a lot of guy friends i accidentlly led to the herd!)   So please dont let the psychos get you down *hug*     there are idiots in every fan base.   

wow they are strange looking but kinda cute ^_^
