What a nice, friendly Forum! I will be honest, I may be out of the demographic here. I'm a 40 yr old guy who used to train horses. Originally from Texas, now I live in Boston. Attracted by the weather, lol.

I wrote a book about the history of horsemanship, and eventually I'll post about it. For now I'll poke around and give my take on a few things. As a junior I rode both English and Western, mostly "English" as in dressage, combined training and junior jumpers. Later on I had a barn in Houston and trained mostly hunter/jumper lower levels, which good basic dressage thrown in.

Looking forward to the discussion, thanks to the admins for hosting this site.

Happy Trails,

John

Welcome to HCC!! I am sure you'll get lost of questions, most of us don't know much about english. I've shown saddle seat a few times, but I'm a beginner at it.

Welcome to the forum! Glad you've joined, and hope you like it. Would love to hear about your life in horses

Good for you, I'm not nearly that far North, Pa and HATE winter. We try to stay friendly.
