TN Trail Rider

PepperPony · 08-10-2007, 03:34 PM

Hi All!
I've always loved horses and started riding them at my Uncle's Camp when I was really young- say 6ish? I've done some showing, starting with games (barrels were my favorite) at a saddle club and then later at POA shows where I would ride my cousin's horses that she wasn't currently showing, trying to sell, or needed experience. I got kind of tired of showing horses I wasn't used to riding- I always kind of felt that the point of showing was to demonstrate how far you and your horse have come- and moved on to just trail riding. I would ride whichever horse was available on the trails and eventually wound up just riding one- Crystal. When I found out my aunt was going to sell her, I knew I had to buy her. So that's how I got my first horse.

I'm sure I look pretty silly on her, with me being tall and her being so small but we have alot of fun. I still mostly trail ride but recently have been trying to work with her more in the arena since the place I moved her to doesn't have many trails. We've ridden at Big South Fork several times, Land between the Lakes and some little place near Nashville- I can't remember the name but they have a cross country course and some trails.
She stayed in Nashville for a couple of years after I bought her as I didn't have a place for her but now I've got her close to where I live- like 4 miles away!!! So I'm very excited.

My name is Miracle's Crystal, but you can call me Crystal. My mom is Jennifer and I love her very much! I just moved here but have made a couple of new friends already! I LOVE to go on rides, espically on the trail and jumping logs is my favorite! I tell my mom all the time that I really don't like crossing water and just water in general, but she insists I do so I do it anyways. I'm very competitive and if you start running, I'm sure to try and outrun you! Maybe Jenn will put up some pictures of us so you can see how cute I am!
