riding buddies

My daughter and I would love some riding partners. We  have everything from her horse that can do multiple 50's to my new walker that needs legging up.
Anyone else down here around the Shawnee want to ride?

He is an Arab foxtrotter cross and trots. She was first JR with a different horse at Kinmundy on the 30.

At the ride last weekend?  We had to see each other! Or, if it was in May, we had to see each other. Where do you live down here? We live south of marion about 4 miles and frequently ride in the Shawnee.  The reason I asked about the gaited issue on your daughters horse is that many of the gaited riders I ride with prefer not to ride their gaited horses with non gaited horses. They think it messes up their gate. I generally do not agree with that as long as the gaited horse I am riding is set in gait pretty well.
   Part of my reasoning is based upon the rides I have done without any serious gait issues as a result. They do not have that experiance and so dont come to the same conclusion. If you want to email me off this board to respond you can at the email Keith button.
