Here We Go...

Hey, My name is Erin and I have brown hair and brown eyes. I'm about 5'4" and I am 14 years old. I go to high school, in grade 8, and I love it. If you are around my age you know exactly what it's like to be a teenager, so no need for explanations.

This is my first posting in Wild Eyed and Spirited. My whole blog will be about me and my love for horses, mostly. I love horseback riding most of all. It is my favorite passion. If you hadn't guessed I also love the horses.

There are two horses I love in particular. The first one is named Copper. He is a gorgeous 14.2 hh, chestnut Quarter Horse. He is one of the best horses for beginners but he's also a fabulous Jumper, who could win everything with the right rider. I loved him from the minute I saw him and still do. The thing that sucks though, he got retired by the owner and now I will never see him again. Time to move on for me, and i did, kind of.

The horse i fell in love with next, was the total opposite of Copper. Her name is Curtsey. She is a 14.2 hh dappled grey Connemara. She is the best horse for dressage. I never did or will ride a better one. She was soo smooth that it felt like you were just along for the ride. On the other hand, she spooked at a lot and was completely green in jumping. We helped her a lot at my barn and I loved riding her. Then she started always flipping her leads or picking up the wrong one, out of nowhere. No matter what we did she wouldn't stop, so the owner took her to a special training stable. First, it was a few weeks, okay I could handle it, but then it got longer. I started wondering, when my mom told me that the owner had sold her. She was never coming back. Now Copper and Curtsey, were gone. What was I going to do?

At first it was hard, but I got used to it. Even though riding wasn't as fun as it used to be. I had finally found a horse I really liked. Her name is Mattie, she is a15.3 hh, brown Trakaener Thouroughbred. She is a speed machine and an excellent jumper. A big challenge for me though, she likes to always go, go, go. I wouldn't say i love her, yet ;)

I am still riding her, i have been for the last two months. I love riding and hopefully will for a long time. The only question is, is another horse going to come and sweep me off my feet?

This is Wild Eyed and Spirited with Erin. Hope you liked it!! :D
