Yes, I ride and I ride a lot. In the winter it is usually just on the weekend but it is every Sat and Sunday and at least 3 hours. Most of the time it is 4-6 hours at a time. In the summer I try to ride around my house 3-4 nights plus every weekend. Around the house I can ride for about

[IceHorses] Sensation Hybrid "chameleon package"

I think I said that I've ordered another Sensation Hybrid. I've been working with Kaaren Jordan (www.kaarenjordan.com) on placing this order, because I wanted something a little more exciting than a plain ole black saddle...but on the other hand, black is so versatile and looks good on all horses.

RE: [IceHorses] Show Video

One thing I see from my unique perspective... a horse staggering beneath a too heavy rider wants to move. they cannot hardly stand still cause it helps them to balance when they take steps. Thats why a horse that stands still for mounting will take a step when a too heavy person mounts, to
