Nice to hear for you again...Hope your horses are all right I'm Kenda btw not KendRa. I don't think Grandmother was really interested in hroses before her daughters got her interested....Pleasure horses are the best....like our Satin...we show him and all and do quite well....but he's not some stuck up snob....sometimes I see those saddlebreds in thier braces at the shows we go too...and I'm so glad for my country-pleasure/hunter/western pleasure horse...well relally my grandmother's but I'm allowed to claim him as "family owned" oh and I hsould also inform you....I don't have a "Grandma" she won't let us call her that...makes her sound like an old lady...she says she's a "Grandmother" I was afraid of my forst horse for the longest time...he's now 16 and we just sold him....he was a "Beginner's horse for college students" and we get along fine now.....but a young beginner rides a little different than an older one I suppose...He has a real special girl now...they "click" not to say we didn't get along cause once we got going we did quite well....but it was time for me to move up -Sih --- FLAME v1.1 * Origin: KCMMS/Tbbs Lawrence,KS Free E-mail@785-840-0053 (1:299/102) --------------- FIDO MESSAGE AREA==> TOPIC: 243 HORSES Ref: F2F00015 Date: 02/10/98 From: KENDA MILLER Time: 04:40pm \/To: RYAN POOL (Read 0 times) Subj: hey! > Hi there Again I'm sorry I didn't reply soon I have just been away > on Holiday > Around NZ, Yeah My Horse Sort of reminds me on satin sometimes > > I thought about western pleasure but since I have never heard of it > I can't say i've done it, or maybe I have but I just Don't know it > yet :-) > I know what you mean My horse has also placed in MANY clases like > "Best Paced and mannered" (it's what we call it down here in NZ) :-0 > > Ryan Pool I think all pelasure classes and to an extent all halter classes should be that way...so what do you ride anyway in Australia call me dumb if you may...not the first time...but I'm told western and saddleseat don't exist much outside of the U.S. so what does that leave huntseat?
