I found a picture of my buddy!

This is Elvis, the last horse I took lessons on. He is a great horse.

Awwww! Elvis looks very sweet.

Reducio

Nice looking horse, does he have a blue eye?

Logan Baird wrote: 15 Jul 2022, 21:51 You are correct on that one. There are two different families that do lessons near me and I am having a difficult time choosing which lessons to take. I have done Western before but want to do English...

Oh fun!
I've done both styles but for jumping I prefer English.
For everything else I prefer Western.
I used to be on a ranch back in Oregon and rode horses all the time.
Rounded up cattle and stuff on our friend's ranch and took lessons from them!

English is more like for jumping and Western is more like for barrel racing and like everything else. This is just my own opinion btw.

Yup!

Logan Baird wrote: 15 Jul 2022, 22:18 I think I may try to do Western for a few months, just because I have worked with those horses and the instructor before. That way I can get a refresher as it has been almost a year since I have last ridden. Then I can transfer to English once I am a bit more confident again since I have never worked with the instructor or the horses before as it is a different farm. I think it may be best to start off with the Quarter Horses again before going to the OTTB anyway.

Yeah, Western was fun for me. I really liked it but then I was on a ranch and that was literally what we tended to ride all the time. Our friend had a significant other and the friend did English while the significant other did Western, so I was able to learn both at the same time hahaha!

Ari Gwild wrote: 15 Jul 2022, 22:25 Yeah, it has been a while. I'm not as active on site. Dealing with a full-time job isn't very fun. I'm currently heading home after a 5 day vacation. Sadly, my sister has Covid and even though my mom and I tested negative, we have to test again and there's still a chance we have it. Other than that, things are decent.

Ugh. That sucks. Hope she gets better soon! Me and husband got all of the strains and recovered (had all the vaccines too). Hopefully the strain your sister has is Omicron because when she recovers from it (I think it's the easiest to get rid of strain and the least bad one), I believe she'll have immunity from all the other previous strains. Which would be nice. Hope everyone gets better and things will get better and everything will be good again! It's good to see you pop in here though! Happy you're still around!

How is your job going? Hope your mini vacation was nice?

Job sucks. Gonna call somewhere to find a new job. The one I have right now is just too stressful. Vacation was fun. It was much needed. I saw the new Thor movie yesterday. I won't spoil anything, but it was decent.

Well that's good that you're gonna get a new job if it sucks! I wish you luck with that! Oh nice! I don't think I saw the new Thor movie yet, I did see the new Doctor Strange one. It was pretty decent.

Was Thor more- interesting than Andy?

I have not just sat watching the little Owl on my screen shake for a while now.
It's very calming to watch
