I'm Cristina and I'm from the Philippines. I was on this forum a long long time ago. I've joined some new forums and rejoined just to be able read and share about horses. And learn about other styles of riding and training. I use to ride bareback but was introduced to western in 2010 and had a go at barrel racing. Not great but not bad either. I own 4 horses. Well 3 of them are ponies. Frisky is a 8 year old native pony/mare she is 11 hands high...short. Hidalgo the reason why I joined the forum long ago, is also 8 years old native breed and is still a stallion he is 12hh. The latest additions to my mini herd is Clyde who I got in 2010, no clue what his breed is, he is a 4 year old 13hh colt. Then Sahara who I got this year. She is a half arabian, part quarter horse and part native. She is 2 years old 14hh. Here is a picture the first one on the left is Hidalgo, followed by Sahara then Frisky.http://i1236.photobucket.com/albums/ff457/cintillate/Horses/group.jpg For obvious reasons Clyde is not in there with them so he gets a special close up picture.http://i1236.photobucket.com/albums/ff457/cintillate/Horses/DSC09525.jpg

Welcome back. Nice horses! I am not familiar with your native horses. Can you share? I ride western (but a lot of bareback when I was younger) and prefer my horses to be not too tall.

Hello Christina and welcome back. My friend Paula was a missionary, Missionary's Daughter and Missionary's granddaughter, all in the Phillippines. She talks a lot about the native horses there. Also about the carts and carriages the poor little things were required to pull.

Welcome back and thanks for sharing! Your horses look so different from the ones we're used to. They look like they would be very nimble and have a lot of endurance ':)'

I have 5 horses, from 13.3 up to about 18 hands. You'll have to share more pictures of your stallion. Is he a cremello?

Hey pip-squeak! [ ':D'

] Cousins still driving you crazy? Did you go to nursing school? Glad to hear you're well and still in the saddle (so to speak). HUGS!

Hello.

Yes I have seen horses carry a sack of rice and a person. Danastark, yes he is a cremello. I will share pictures of him soon. ':D'

Hunterseat you are still here? That is amazing I remember you. My cousins kind of drive me crazy sometimes. I am in 4th year nursing. Graduating this March.
