Yup. xD
Well, I've always wanted to try western, but my mom found a good deal at the stables that rode English, so I didn't really care. (I mean, I got horseback riding lessons, so that was good enough for me cx) I like English, but I'm TERRIBLE at posting, so that's a downer, aha. Overall, I have to say I like western better. I wanna do barrel racing at some point.
Have you ever tried western?
Cool! The stables I go to is a much smaller place, they only do local shows, kinda like yours. Most of the kids there do the shows, but my mom doesn't wanna pay for them so I probably won't do any until I get some more money of my own, lol.
Ahh, that's so funny! And oh dear--hopefully Lacy won't get into anything toxic. D: Sky LOVES food, he's the one that'll yank ya down when leading him around if you're not careful. xD
Ohhhh yeaaahhh my instructor told me that when I rode Sky for my first eight months or so there, lol. 'He'll teach you to ride'. THROUGH FRUSTRATION. xD No, once I got him under my belt he'll actually go for you, so I do enjoy riding him. Especially since he's the only true western horse they have that I can ride so far.
Oh dear, I hate horses with bad ground manners! >.< There was this one horse called Summer (actually a SUPER pretty horse!) at my old stables that was pretty good under saddle. On foot? She was mean and tried to bite you and even trapped me against the wall in her stall once when trying to put on the saddle, so I had to get another girl to hold her head.
Awh, I love dapple-grays! I have to say my favorite horse to ride might be Sky (half of it is the western factor) but I also love to ride Finny, who's a main show horse of theirs. He's soooo nice to ride, but he chews on everything. cx
That's cool you have your own horse! What breed is she?

Ah, that's funny. cx Glad she wasn't hurt! I've actually never really ridden bareback much, only twice. My second time was my first time trotting, and it doesn't help the horse I rode has a very bouncy trot. I ended up slipping off of him, though thankfully I landed on my feet. Not my proudest moment... lol
