Name: My name is PurpleSyn but, Syn will do if you just want something short to type.
Style of Riding: I have ridden mostly Western and Saddleseat with just a dash of Hunt seat thrown in for good measure.
Favorite Breed of Horse: I have to choose just one? Hmmm.. I'd have to choose the Tennessee Walking Horse for my favorite breed in that case though, the best horse I ever had was a Tennessee Walker/ Quarter Horse cross.
Do you own a horse?: I've owned several horses over the years but, currently do not own any nor do I have access to any. Though I hope to change at least the access part in the near future.
Something Else: Living smack in the middle of Tennessee for most of my life, I grew up around Walking Horses and the people who raise and train them. I don't agree with a lot of the things done to train the performance or 'big lick' walkers. You'd be surprised that even though there are laws to prevent the soring of these animals, trainers have found ways to get around detection and continue to make these animals hurt in order to step out. Having worked as a groom in a walking horse barn, I've seen it from the inside and know quite a bit about the underbelly of that particular industry. I also spent a couple of years working for a saddleseat tack company as a customer service representative and learned quite a bit about the differences in showing the various gaited breeds. If anybody wants to talk gaited or saddleseat with me, I'd be more than happy to help or discuss in any way that I can.

I'm 5'4-and-a-half-inches and my Arab is 14.2 or 14.3 (must double check, I think my last measuring device was faulty! xd )

Name: Sallyanna. But please call me Sally heart
Style of Riding: English
Favorite Breed of Horse: I'm unbiased. Just give me one...
Do you own a horse?: I schooling a pony for a year, does that count? He's a Welshie cross Australian Stockhorse. Lovely show type, but he's been spoilt rotten by his owners. Who is a seven year old child I might add. He's been allowed to get away with everything. If he wasn't so cute I'd...
Anything else you'd like to say?: Currently I'm an Associate Pony Clubber. Meaning I'm a rider over 17. I do eventing, only at an Intro level though. And because I'm not exceptionally tall, for the past couple of years, I've been helping my Aunt school bratty ponies. It's a great challenge and I'm enjoying it. Unfortunatly I don't own any horse, never have: because horses do not belong in city. I travel several hours every weekend to go riding. I like to think I'm determined.
I started riding at 11, so sadly, I've not ridden for years and years..like most of you, I'd assume. Most of my learning was done on an old thoroughbred mare. She was such a darling. And my first eventing experiance was done on a novice thoroughbred as well. Funny, I started with horses and moved down to ponies surprised . Isn't it meant to be the other way round. Uhm. I like in Sydney, Australia...guess that's all. I'll put some photo's up soon. In the meantime, Ollie and I made the newspaper..which I put on my profile for boasting rights sweatdrop

L Y Z Z A C I O U S` DB horseluvrelisha WOW Mel, you're dumb. xd (kidding) Equitation is a class in which only the RIDER'S skills are judged, not the horse's. 3nodding Most of the equitation classes I'VE heard of are flat classes.
QFE
Good equitation training - even one or two sessions - can help wonderously. x3
And they are only flat classes. 3nodding
Welcome new members! ^w^
We were judged on our control of our horse/ponies.
Whethor we could make our mount trot over a jump and remain so.
Lengthing strides and canter changes were expected throughout.
Obviously I did miserably in this particular aspect of pony club emo

Obviously I did miserably in this particular aspect of pony club emo I was always told that equitation classes are on the flat, and you're supposed to exhibit how well you can keep your position, use correct aids, etc. sweatdrop Because, as my trainer (who used to do equitation-type riding/showing before she got back into dressage) put it, 'In equitation classes your horse can be dead underneath you, but as long as you have a good position and use your aids correctly, it doesn't matter' so...yeah. sweatdrop
