thread in support of horse girls

my sister had so many damn breyer horses when she was in grade school, i think at some point my parents finally realized that the breyer horses were gonna end up costing more and be more useless than just getting her lessons (and then she turned out to be really good at it, lo and behold)

I did not have a horse as a child (took riding lessons on other ppl's horses) and my poor golden retriever had to fill in. I would set up jumps in the yard and he would do his best to clear them. Also tried to fashion a bridle/bit, which did not go so well.

RIP Kirby. You were a good boy, but not a horse :(

aww kirby

every horse girl deserves a dog that is a good sport

My wife was a horse girl growing up on a farm when she was younger. Her horse was named Chango. She hadn't ridden in 30 years when, about 5 years ago, she rode in the hills of Los Angeles as part of a work trip. She said she was terrified but she also had a great time.

Best form of transportation tbrr

well now i have questions

(it's a real license plate you can have in kansas. i can't imagine anyone who has it isn't a horse girl)

My wife's aunt and cousin are major horse girls. Large animal vets, specifically.

They also own a farm that is a retirement home for old racehorses and some of those fuckers are bity!

I am going to be riding a bitey former racehorse today! Not so much bitey as mouthy, he likes to lip things. It's really cute actually.

Large animal vets are totally badass.

Did I mention I have a tattoo of my horse's initials?

Even though I think they are beautiful creatures, Horse's scare the shit out of me. But I do respect your tat!

Lol Excuse the awful formatting, savage grammar, posting from my phone.

I got chased by two ponies recently, I think they just wanted to say hello but I shit it and ran!

To be fair, anyone who has spent appreciable time with horses has gotten hurt one way or another. But WORTH IT!, say the horse girls.

I've done both, and riding an elephant > riding a horse. That said, I've always been kind of fascinated by dressage. "I'm so incredibly rich, I can spend hundreds of hours teaching my horse to dance."

Was on a hike by myself and saw a horse. Then another. Then soon was surrounded by 10 or so. Wild I assume? Started getting nervous. "Wait horses don't attack humans ever do they?? Hid behind a juniper. One of the horses goes AROUND the tree and is a few feet from me, glaring at me. "Horses don't do coordinated attacks do they????". I'm legit worried at this point. So I whoop and holler and clap my hands. They look at one another and then run off. "Yeah y'all don't want none of this, that's what I thought!!"

Horses are my favorite animal prob.

re original article, I can't get past : "I’m not a decorations guy" "I don’t really have decorative “taste” and didn’t contribute any of my own decorations"

who fucking talks like this?

I thought this thread was gong to be about that Alison Brie movie on Netflix that I only saw 20 minutes of and was acceptably weird.

Hi, I’m Gooch.

See that truck and trailer? I drive it to different communities to give books to children in need. Oh and I bring my horse with me.

I think the horsewoman Brianna Noble who rode in the Oakland BLM protests is now doing Verizon ads, texting from horseback. At least I'm pretty sure it's her, small online banner ads.

I am anti texting from horseback but pro protest ponies.

I was supposed to have a jumping lesson today but my pony is lame. LAME!

So instead we threw him in the hot walker (aka equiciser) for the first time. He was not amused.

lol nor would i be!

While he was in there I washed my horse brushes, which made me feel like quite the accomplished horse girl.

what the

holy shit my body hurts all over just watching these videos

impressive replication of actual horse gaits, these horse girls are serious

In other horse girl news, I had my first proper dressage lesson yesterday and thought of Ann Romney and that late night interview where Mitt downplayed the whole "dancing horses" thing.
