But now I'm getting old enough that I don't do things ALL the time. lol I'm probably type A because if I need to get something done, then I try to get it done now. <br /><br />I have slowed down, but my friends will probably say I haven't. I've been an empty nester for almost 4 years, and during that time, sat inside, working at promoting my tack store. Now, I've rested and I'm ready to get back to horses, hence ALL of the goals. But I'm excited and I just listed out everything. Most people would only have listed out 1/2 that stuff. Some of my goals would happen, even if I didn't list them, because that is all I would need to do to promote my business.<br /><br />I do take time to relax, I always have, but most people really don't see me when I do. Now they will!Horses Are Our Liveshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10982276279029143883noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1755295319011610690.post-52799392159339040842010-01-03T21:11:04.045-06:002010-01-03T21:11:04.045-06:00Wow!

I bet you are one of those Type A personalities that always have to have something to do so they feel productive, useful and have a purpose. Good for you if you do. You are the type of person that makes the world go 'round.<br /><br />I've always thought I'd want a gaited horse because of my back and hip problems. Figured they'd make a smoother ride for me, but I don't their energy level would suit mine and would probably make me uptight and more nervous.<br />But they are great for CTR, and so are Arabians, but of course they don't tend to be gaited. haha!<br /><br />Much success with all of your goals and may your wishes and dreams come true in 2010!<br /><br />~LisaLaughing Orca Ranchhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03562627840013868980noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1755295319011610690.post-27316825813319232202010-01-03T20:23:11.106-06:002010-01-03T20:23:11.106-06:00Lori, thanks!

My youngest gelding is coming 2, and I think I'll be breeding again this year. Now that I have time to spend with the horses.<br /><br />If I go gaited, it will be only because they can cover the ground faster!

No offense to the horses tho, they are just fine. I know that people who are into that love it.Lori Skooghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03458010787337492501noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1755295319011610690.post-72648971203094712482010-01-01T20:57:12.641-06:002010-01-01T20:57:12.641-06:00hey, sfg, I've only ridden gaited a few times....hey, sfg, I've only ridden gaited a few times. I will go with a Foxtrotter, maybe gaited Morgan. I am QH, true and true, that is why I'll continue trail riding on one of my QH's, but horses need to move out for the CTR's and meet their P&R's. Sometimes gaited do that easier, sometimes not, but they sure can cover the ground easier. Nothing will beat the extended long trot or deep lope of a good moving QH!

I will GIVE my gaited horse for a quarter horse ANY day. Sorry, I just don't like their attitudes compared to quarter horses. My horse is not mean, she isn't hard to ride, she just isn't a quarter horse. They aren't as laid back and you have to ride with a tight rein all the time. Sorry, you may like them, I hope it's what you want. I've tried for 15 years and just can't do it. But, if you are still interested. There are 20,000 of them running free in the state of Ky. Take your pick. lol.<br />Sfgsmall farm girlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01485314092236803411noreply@blogger.com
