Are you into quarter horses?Do you own any?

Here is one of our guys. He is a foundation bred QH, even though he has a show halter on he is not a 'halter type' horse (thank the Lord!). I did some halter classes with him when he was younger just to get him used to the shows really. He didn't like it as I think he found it quite boring just standing around (you could ride him all day long and he would take you through the night also, but standing with makeup on wasn't 'ranchy' enough for Bailey) He did well in halter though - surprisingly, we got some Grand Open Stallion awards and qualified for the world show .. which wasn't bad as he was only 2 at the time. The picture above was taken after he won the Grand at the Garden of England AQHA show. We got a lovley bronze, but my favourite pic was taken after the class when we went for some 'well deserved' grass.

I still giggle at the thought of me taking him to the world show against the 16h + monsters LOL!! I think we may stand out just a bit ! His lines include TEJ x 3, Driftwood x2 with some doc bar and a dash of hancock in there too I believe. I like the ranch type QH. You can sit on his back and almost feel what the cowboys felt when riding his ancestors. He looks like a polar bear at the moment with all the white fluff!

I love QH's and wouldn't be without them as a breed. There are so many different types out there and we are really blessed to find 3 that are a joy to be around
 
ha ha Jude - I thought of kidnapping a trainer and keep them chained to the arena !

It's horrible when they go away for training. Bailey was away for 2 months with Shane and I just couldn't wait to go and get him back - I really don't think I could go that long again. He hasn't forgotten anything that Shane has taught him which is good.

I am so pleased your lass is doing well (big pats on the back to you for looking after her so well !!!!)

and another reason Bailey doesn't like halter ... it's tooooo early in the morning

how gorg are all these horses....
Tia..I would love to see your horsey pics...I havent seen many of them...the palo is lovely and your daughter is a super little rider isnt she ;0)
 
I really like quarter horses- I had two I used to ride when I lived in Kansas. Will try and dig out photos. I loved riding western and watched team penning and calf roping classes at the shows. And barrel racing; I would love Darce to be trained western style, he can turn on a sixpence (as they say!)

Appyjude Archer is STUNNING! They all are. Tia I love the colours you have- the buckskin is lovely.
