What can I do with my horses2007-11-24 21:21:20

I really want to do something with my horses besides local trail rides but they are not pure bred or have special training and I have never had experience with shows so what can I do with them? I am too old for 4H, I actually looked into working with the local 4H club but they did not need me.

Answers:

You can try entering them in schooling shows. Its easy and fun. Sign up for pleasure class where the judge judges your horse at the walk, trot and sometimes lope. You can also enter the equitation class where its the same as pleasure except your riding ability and equitation is being judged.

Or you can compete in trail trials where you go on a trail, except its judged at different spots and there are different obsticles you have to do.

Try to teach people how to ride using your horses. Charge a decent rate and just try to teach them something, that way you can make money too!

you could try getting them to pull a cart

or teach them to jump fences

you could teach them tricks!

i agree though trail riding can be boring after a while

why not look into endurance riding. you and your horse will enjoy the time together, and the thinking it will entail.

Best times my App and I had together.

Alot depends on the area that you live in. Here, ( TN.) horses that are not registered, can still be shown in smaller, country shows or one night rodeo type events. Check out charity type shows.
