hi @Merena Orithana and welcome! I love horses myself but alas, I haven't done much real riding in years. actually, I've been meaning to schedule a family trail ride or something but other things have gotten in the way. plus I'm lazy sometimes, lol.

which part of Missouri are you from? (or rather, how do you pronounce it, haha. my husband's family is from Missouri but one parent says Missour-ee and the other says Missour-uh. but anyway, he's from the KC area.)

@Siusane al'Cuyler Sedai - Hello!

After grad school, I decided now that I was an 'adult' ( :laugh:), I needed a hobby. I had always wanted to ride. So I've been riding now on and off since then. Did you prefer English or Western?

I live in the St Louis area, but I'm originally from northern Illinois. Such a small world!

We used to have some good get togethers in STL back in the day. Now it seems they’ve moved to the Peoria area. :)

And I’m only about 2 hours from St. Louis, myself, in podunk Effingham. :laugh:

@Alenya Al'Roran Sedai - Ft Leonard Wood?

@Atane Valthon - Nice! Peoria isn't too far. Are you a transplant or from the Effingham area originally?

Not sure why, but I assumed folks would mostly be on the east or west coasts or elsewhere, but there you go. :laugh:

great choice in hobbies. :D I was most interested in learning dressage although I didn't get very far. mostly just basic hunter pleasure and western pleasure.

ETA: yeah, we’ve got several Middle US folks. :D

Bingo! We were there 2 years before they sent us to the next base. We're comfortably retired in Florida, now. :D

@Siusane al'Cuyler Sedai - Nice! I've never tried Western.. I started taking lessons in hunter/jumper, then moved to dressage. I really liked that approach much better and it helped me learn exactly how I was communicating with the horse that led to x,y, or z result.

@Alenya Al'Roran Sedai - I've been to FLW a few times when I used to work as an Army civilian. It didn't seem too bad as TRADOC posts go!
Florida sounds nice - whereabouts in FL did you and your family retire?

We're just north of Orlando and we love it here.

Awh man, I used to have a horse, but I have no room for one now. She was also not quite broken in, and I was a beginner rider so that could've played into my apprehension everytime I'd ride her :laugh:

We should definitely revive having a horse thread! I love seeing people talk about their horse adventures.
