Me, me!! I was raised on a small breeding farm with a Dad who has done everything from Halter Horses to roping to open jumping and everything inbetween. I ended up showing a little buckskin mare through 4-H, novice quarter horse, and some youth quarter horse. She has since been retired to broodmare and her first baby is now 2! The one you see in my avatar is the one I showed some Hunter Under saddle as a youth, then everything as an amateur. He was a bit of a butt head, but I loved him. We did everything from horsemanship, trail, western riding to Showmanship, equitation, hack, and HUS. And you couldn't have asked for a better eq or hack horse. Had to sell him before I started med school, and he is currently helping pay for that. Once I move back home I'm going to take one of the babies we have. Not sure which one yet, though.

As a side note, I really feel that all my time on horses helped me out with mtb, as there were so many similarities I felt. Have any of you noticed that also?
