Hey Everyone!!!!!My name is Haley James. I'm 17 years old. I've been riding consistently since I was 6. I own 3 horses. Aladdin's Magic Carpet aka Aladdin 9 year old 16.3h Hanoverian Gelding. Pepper Joe aka Pepper 16 year old 15.1h Appaloosa Gelding. And Moving Violation 5 year old 16.3h Thoroughbred Gelding. I've had Pepper for 9 years. He was my first horse. I'd taken lessons and ridden and everything before I got him. I ride western on him. I do barrel racing, pole bending and western pleasure pretty much. He's just the sweetest thing in the world. I've formed such a bond with him over the 9 years that I've had him, but my 10 year old sister is starting to ride him a lot, because she's not as experienced and she's just got rid of her pony. With Aladdin I do jumping. The highest I've jumped is around 3'10ft. He's really sweet, and he's soooo smooth he's just a dream to ride. I've had him for 4 years, and I've formed a really strong bond with him over those years. I would say I ride him the most, because I mostly ride english and he's just really well trained and he's just a complete sweetheart. He has his days where he can be a pain but all horses do and that's why I love him. His only bad habbit is throwing his head and prancing sideways when he gets tired and doesn't want to work anymore. Mover is the newest addition to my family. I've had him for about a year. He has probably the MOST energy out of all the horses combined!!! He does have the thoroughbred spirit. I don't really do a specific activity on him, right now my main focus is just getting HIM to focus and listen and behave. His bad habbits are rearing and he does like little bucks (not big ones but little) and he just has a lot of energy!!! I love him to death, but he is a challenge but that's what makes him him and that's what makes him fun. He'll end up being a jumper probably. right now I ride him in both english and western saddles, but he really has a good athletic build, so he'll probably be my back up jumper once I start showing again.
I did use to show, I haven't showed in about probably 3 years. I just once I got into high school couldnt' really balance my school work and showing every weekend and so I only really do the small barn shows now which is okay, umm, it keeps me fresh with it and since I've only done like 2 real shows with Aladdin it keeps him in practice. I love my horses to death, the are my life.
I do have a boyfriend, his name is Joe. We've been dating since I was 14 and he was 15. He is also horse crazy, like me. We met at a horse camp and go to the same stable. He's 18 and he graduated high school last year so he works at the barn part time while he goes to college. He trains and does barn work and gives riding lessons. He's the sweetest guy in the world. He's my cowboy!!! I love him.
I live in Ohio, with my mom and step-dad and 10 year old sister Hannah. We board our horses. And my mom and step-dad do not ride but my sister does.
Any questions or comments feel free to leave them!!!!!!!!!!
