I know Eventrocker33 and Slap_Maxwell both ride/own horses, and I'm just curious who else here is in love with/rides/owns horses. What discipline(s) do you ride? Own any horses? Favorite breed(s)?
I don't own any, but here at school I ride a Tennessee Walker named Marshal Dillon. I trail ride him western, and I also ride him bareback a lot. We try to jump..it's not always pretty ;) My biggest love is jumping, but I'd also like to get into more dressage. At home I ride TBs and Arabs.

I have a Thoroughbred gelding named Sprite, who is a basket-case. I also have a Welsh Pony named Stormy. I work everyday to pay their board, and I ride and jog (in a cart) racing Standardbreds training for races. I generally ride dressage and casual western. (I have done western pleasure, hunters, saddleseat, and cutting).

I love Tennessee Walkers.

I've been riding my whole life, yet, still do not have a horse. I used to work at a stable.
My favorite breed of horse is an Irish Warmblood. Most of the time I ride an Irish Warmblood, who's show name is "Three's Company." I used to jump alot, but now I do dressage. It's alot of work, but very rewarding. I show, too.

I decided not to go to college just for that reason Slap. OK not really, there are other factors too, but I was thinking that question as well

Where are you going to put them? Dorms won't allow them and apartments around campuses are at least $1000 a month.

Where are you going to work? Are your parents allowing this?

Wow. I wish I had the option.

I don't know where you got the apartment figure from, but apartments where I'm at school are way less than that, about half that at most. For example, I'm living in a duplex house with a bunch of friends and my rent is $370/month plus utils..it comes out to about $500, depending on the time of year (obviously more in the winter with heat..). But unfortunately, I think most colleges require students to live on campus at least freshman year. :-/ And you're right abou tthe dorms, pigs are definately not allowed. Do any of you with this problem have siblings who would take care of them for you until you can take them with you??

At least $1000 a month? *Sigh* Only here in San Diego...

And by the way: All of you do have options!! You can go to school full time and take out loans (or earn a scholarship), you can work part time and go to school full time, you can start at community college...The options are endless!! I'm not promoting anarchy, or anything, but its important to think of what you want for your future, and not just about what your parents want for you. 13, 16, 19 years old, you all have your lives ahead of you! Get an idea, get educated about it, then make a decision!

Youth is intoxicating!

Western may be easier, but personally I think english is a lot more fun. Nothing beats flying through the air over a jump! :D But again, just my opinion..
