We've been missing an introduction thread so here it is.

I'm a 50 year old microbiologist. I've been horse crazy all my life and got my first pony when I was 12. I ride and show Western (used to do it pretty seriously, now just getting back into it), love trail riding in the surrounding mountains and just spending time enjoying my herd.I raise Appaloosas.

I know there are lots of horse people here on Library Thing and hope the group takes off so we can have lots of good horse, book and horse and book discussions.

I'm fourteen, and I've been horse crazy since as long as I can remember. I collected a huge number of horse books (including a few non-fiction), and though that craze has died down I still like a good horse book. Sadly I grew up in the city, so never learned how to ride, and in the current state my land is in, I doubt I'll be able to learn anytime soon.

I have high hopes for this group, and am eager to see it take off.

I'm 22 and have been riding my whole life. I got my first horse when I was 13 and did barrels until last year. I joined the military, moved to Louisiana, and moved to an English barn, it was the cheapest one in the area, and I took up hunter/jumper. I now compete in local schooling shows with my black quarter horse mare.

When I was younger I used to buy every horse book I saw. I must have about 30 horse encyclopedias back home in Florida and tons of other horse related one's that didn't move with me. I love horse racing books in particular.

Hello buckskinfilly and I'm glad you decided to join our merry little band.

In my 3D life I have a buckskin broodmare--lost her her bucksin baby last year. I love the buckskins and dunskins.

What horse racing books do you recommend? Personally, I've read quite a few of the Dick Francis books (love mysteries), Bluegrass by Borden Deal--which I enjoyed very much (guess I'll always be more of a breeder than a racer LOL), the YA Walter Farley series, and of course, Seabiscuit. I've got Wire to Wire: the Walter Merrick Story about quarter horse racing in my to-be-read pile.

I had a chance to go to Louisville Kentucky earlier this spring for a non-horse work related meeting. Couldn't convince anyone to go with me to tour TB farms in Lexington with me. I felt like a kid in a candy store with nothing but lint in my pockets.

>#3 and #4 Hey guys, I just bought a buckskin QH gelding. Too funny.

My name is Kristy, and I've just bought my second horse. I've got a handsome liver chestnut Morgan pony named Jetson and a crazy buckskin QH who is an ongoing project.

I ride dressage. Horses are a family thing with me and my niece Jack. She's my bud. :)

Hi Kristy and welcome! I'm Janet. Glad you found our small (but wonderful) group.

I love the buckskin and dunskin colors. I'm very interested in horse color genetics and all the variations.

I'm looking forward to having you post and hearing about the horse books and horsey things in your life.

Hello
Im am a 40 year old Norwegian female who has been interested in horses since the age of 13.
During the years, I have collected some books about horses. As a librarian, I thought I would get some more control of my collection, as I have recognized some double copies lately... So I became a member of LibraryThing yesterday and have now started to register my books!
I have a new forest pony and a shetland pony, and therefore I have special passion about ponies!
I am also rather interested in colour genetics and horse conformation in general.
Many of my books are in Norwegian, but I also have some in Danish, Swedish and English (and one single in German, i think).
I have already registered about 40 books today, and I am afraid I will have to be a paying member of this site to come through my entire collection...

Hi Nina and welcome! I'm glad you joined.

I'm also very interested in color genetics--both base color and Appaloosa patterning.

Do you drive your ponies? My X husband surprised me with a two wheel cart a few years back and I have acquired a harness, but have not yet started one to drive.

Yes, LibraryThing is very addictive! It wasn't long before I had to become a paying member, too.

Thank you, streamsong!
I drive my shetland - it's great fun! We attended our first competition a month ago, we had a great round even if we weren't placed. The new forest pony is only ridden and long reined (training for driving), because I have no roadcart for her. She is competing with a young pony rider in dressage and jumping. I show them a lot at shows as well.
I'll just have to find out how to pay for this LibraryThing, I think... Hmmm...

Awesome Nina!

My daughter and I went to a two day beginner's driving clinic a few years ago. The instructor competes nationally with....(are you ready for this?) her teams of mules! It was a lot of fun. The mules have a very different personality than horses, but hers were wonderfully trained. She demonstrated driving a four hitch of mules around obstacles and each one would respond to its name and a command while she was driving them. Like she'd call out "Betty-left" and that mule and only that mule would take a few steps to the left to help the team negotiate the obstacle. It was amazing.

I do the ground driving (long reining) as a preliminary step before getting into the saddle with youngsters I'm starting. I just haven't gotten to the next step--ground driving them with poles attached to the harness to get the feel of the shafts.

I think their are a lot of dressage riders here at LT. I'm hoping they'll start speaking up here on the horse forum.

I just joined the group so I guess I should introduce myself!

I'm 38 years old and I've loved horses all my life but never owned one. I've ridden rental horses now and then but most of my horsey contact is at the racetrack. I'm about an hour away from Santa Anita and I go to the track at least once a month when they are racing there.

I love horse books and collect racing books in particular. I've only ridden Western but I would like to learn to ride dressage, if I ever have the money/time.

Hi & welcome to the group FionaCat;

Books, cats and horses--looks like we share a love of three of life's pleasures!

I've never been to a big track--only the small 'county fair' type 1/2 mile tracks. And sadly, there are getting to be fewer and fewer of these in the area, as, at least in this state, the Fair Boards are choosing to no longer sponsor race meets due to the costs. I'd love to go to a big race meet someday.

Last week I ordered the Horse of a Different Color: A Tale of Breeding Geniuses, Dominant Females, and the Fastest Derby Winner Since Secretaria unabridged audio book from bookcloseouts.com . I had the Funny Cide audiobook in my basket too, but finances made me put it back until my next order from there. I enjoy listening to audiobooks on my drive in to work. I see you have both of them... would you recommend the Funny Cide book?

13FionaCat
aug 15, 2007, 4:15 pm

Hi streamsong!

I get both kinds of racing -- there is a 5/8 mile track at the L.A. County fairgrounds with mule, QH, Appaloosa and Thoroughbred racing in September. I've been to Hollywood Park once (Breeders' Cup 1997) and Del Mar several times, though I haven't been down there for a couple of years. Santa Anita is my favorite, though.

I liked Horse of a Different Color more than Funny Cide. The Funny Cide book was written to cash in on the whole Funny Cide mania (don't get me wrong, though, it was enjoyable!).

One thing I didn't like about Horse of a Different Color (if I'm remembering correctly, it's been a while since a read it) is that the author takes some shots at Point Given, one of my favorite horses. Then again, considering that his Monarchos only won the Derby while Point Given took the Preakness, Belmont and Travers, can you blame him?

Man o' War: A Legend Like Lightning by Dorothy Ours is another very good racehorse biography. I don't know if it's available on audio.

Hi all. I've been around a few days now, but I haven't gotten around to introducing myself. My name is Celeste. Like others here, I love horses... and cats. I also like history, fantasy, art and playing around on the computer.

Since we couldn't afford to own a horse when I was growing up, I indulged my obsession by reading about horses and drawing them endlessly (like the drawing above). Unlike many pre-teens with a fascination for horses, my interest never waned.

What is my favorite horse book? (*groan* You had to ask?) I have too many to pick out one a single favorite. I guess I'll say the most influential was Walter Farley's fictionalized account of Man o' War's life. It started a lifelong interest in the horse. Now I host a website on him (Take a look, if you are interested).

I confess I've already spent time checking out the bookshelves of my fellow horse lovers here. I can't wait to see what treasures you can recommend.

(Edited to insert picture)

Hi Celeste!

I too loved Walter Farley's "bio" of Man o' War. It has to be my favorite of his books. Love your website!

16streamsong
aug 18, 2007, 12:31 am

Hi Celeste and welcome!

Wow--your website is awesome as is your drawing! Love the MOW shoe--what a treasure!!

Do you haunt eBay looking for MOW bits and pieces the way Laura Hillenbrand did when she wrote Seabiscuit? I loved that part of her story and how she put the bits and pieces together! I've done a good deal of collecting on eBay -- trying to find bits and pieces and define what is fiction and what is fact concerning Appaloosa history.

17_Celeste_
aug 18, 2007, 1:18 pm

Thanks, ladies!

Yes, the MOW shoe is a precious treasure. I think I even slept with it the first few nights. Using an old iron horse shoe as a pillow is not something I would recommend!

Although I'm not using it presently, eBay was a source of a lot of goodies. I have numerous old newspapers of the era which gives a fascinating snapshot of the time. It is also cheaper than most collectibles. It's fun and a great way to learn about history. Newspapers, however, weren't meant to last 90 years. They are VERY brittle and fragile. They require careful handling.

Have you found good books for Appaloosa history? It is hard to separate romance from fact, sometimes.

18FionaCat
aug 18, 2007, 7:07 pm

Speaking of horse shoes and Seabiscuit, did you know that the California Thoroughbred Breeders' Association (CTBA) library has among it's 'Biscuit memorabilia an ashtray made from one of his hooves?!?

19streamsong
aug 21, 2007, 12:27 am

Hi Celeste--I'm more looking for photographs and first person accounts from the 1800s rather than books about Appaloosas--although you can guess from my profile that I do search out books, too. Appaloosa history has been so fantasized and what books there are about the preregistry history, are usually all based on the same few poorly documented accounts.

Sleeping with the MOW shoe! I love that image!

FionaCat that ashtray just seems wrong to me. I guess I think of my horses, cats and dogs as my fur family and I really wouldn't want parts of any of them around. I know Roy Rogers had Trigger stuffed, though, and one of the early Appaloosa foundation sires, Sundance F-500, was skinned and his hide tanned and preserved. So I understand how different people can see this differently. I can see how it would be a thrill to touch a bit of a great one--but I'd rather touch his shoe by far than his hoof! (I'll admit I do have tail hairs tucked away from several of mine that are gone--just not on daily display).

20FionaCat
Redigerat: aug 21, 2007, 1:14 pm

Streamsong, that ashtray creeped me out. People did things like that back then, although it seems out of character considering 'Biscuit's owner buried him under an undisclosed oak tree on his ranch (which seems touchingly sentimental to me).

I think the best tribute to a horse I know of is Trudy McCaffery's love for her "son" Free House. When he died, she had him buried at Vessels (the farm where he stood at stud) and installed a meditation bench so she could spend time with him. When she died, she was cremated and asked that some of her ashes be sprinkled on Free House's grave so she could always be with him. She had already sprinkled her father's ashes there.

21_Celeste_
aug 22, 2007, 12:04 am

Someone associated with Seabiscuit must have had a bit of a foot fetish. If I'm not mistaken, I think one of the items Laura Hillenbrand bought was an ashtray made from one of Seabiscuit's shoes. I think I could manage that, but definitely not his hooves. Strands of his mane or tail I could accept, but not his hide and certainly not stuffed. Sounds rather macabre to me.

I agree with you about Free House's last resting spot, FionaCat. A meditation bench sounds lovely.

I've joined this group today at Streamsong's invitation. I'm a 59-year-old British man and I have been riding for about 20 years. I have a chestnut leopard spot Appaloosa mare - something of an oddity in England and enough to make people stare. As the breeder remarked - Appaloosas have an instant attraction for men, rather like chrome on cars. :)

My riding interest is dressage. I used to compete at affiliated advanced level but work commitments recently have put paid to keeping that up or going any further. I still sometimes act as a commander for people competing at dressage competitions. I occasionally try other styles and breeds while on vacation - I've done endurance riding with cheval de Merens horses in the Pyrenees, trail riding with Morgans in Tucson, AZ, and a week with competition AQH cutting horses at Tuolumne, CA. I'm open-minded about these pleasures.

24FionaCat
dec 22, 2007, 8:51 pm

I've only seen cutting horses at work a few times, but I was very impressed with them. I imagine riding one must be like riding a border collie working sheep :)

25appaloosaman
Redigerat: dec 23, 2007, 9:31 am

I strongly recommend a cutting horse riding vacation. We stayed at Slide Mountain Ranch just outside Yosemite National Park - see their website at http://www.slidemountain.com/index.php?p=home . Neither of us had ever ridden cutting horses before - and, indeed, we had done very little Western style riding. Ike Bunney is a really great teacher - he started us off in his barn where he has a full size electric rag doll steer on wires that he can control. The rag doll steer's brand was a Playboy bunny! We got to meet our mounts there - the effects were immediate and electrifying. We were urged initially just to sit on our horses and stay with them - not to try to guide them. As Ike put it - "They know what to do - you don't!" There were just five of us and by the end of the morning he had us all whooping and hollering like crazy - even we reserved Brits.

We had instruction in cutting horse riding in the mornings and trail rides to the old silver mines in the afternoons. On day 2 he tried us out in the 50m circular manege with a small group of calves. Day 3 was out on the ranch for a first go at the real thing. I cannot recommend Slide Mountain Ranch enough - every single horse you get to ride has won big money in national cutting horse competitions. Most are still in top level competition, those that are not have only recently retired - they were all great rides. I learned of Slide Mountain from a review in American Horseman that claimed it was the ONLY ranch that let you ride top level horses. Ike claims that even inexperienced hands can't spoil a good horse - very much a minority view in the sport.

It's by far the most exciting thing I have done - much better than even the wildest theme park ride. I was literally breathless with excitement.

26FionaCat
dec 23, 2007, 7:00 pm

I know exactly where that is -- I've stayed in Sonora many times and know the area pretty well. It sounds brilliant. I was just telling my sister today that we need to start planning our summer vacation once the madness of the holiday season is over. I'll put Slide Mountain on my list of possibilities.

I've done some trail riding in the Sierra but never on a truly good horse. Yes, a good cutting horse knows what to do. The riders usually pick out the cow, drop the reins and let the horse do his thing.

27appaloosaman
dec 24, 2007, 3:00 am

They have a large guest traditional log cabin (complete with aircon) that has, I think, four bedrooms. There's a good Greek restaurant in Tuolumne about 4-5 miles away.

I can't resist sharing one sad observation with readers of this thread. While at Slide Mountain Ranch we asked Ike if we could ride in Yosemite National Park. Sadly, he told us that we could not. The National Parks Service had forbidden trail riding in Yosemite some years ago "because visitors complained about horse droppings on the paths"! Oh dear! What has America come to?

28FionaCat
Redigerat: dec 24, 2007, 4:10 pm

I've ridden in Yosemite several times. There is a pack station at Tuolumne Meadows that rents horses for trail rides, and the High Sierra Camps and backcountry ranger stations are supplied by mule trains. I know of at least one stable outside the park (near Fish Camp, right near the southern boundary of the park) that leads rides into the park, and there is a stable in Yosemite Valley, one at White Wolf (or at least there was, it may have been closed since I rode there quite a few years ago) and one at Wawona. I believe visitors are welcome to bring their own horses and board them at the stables while in the park.

I belong to the Yosemite Association, which is a cooperative non-profit that works with the park and NPS, and though there is some concern about packstock degrading meadows, they are still allowed (although the numbers are limited) and always have the right of way over hikers. I don't know why Ike would have told you riding was not allowed in the park, perhaps his ranch was no longer alloted permits to enter the park.

There was some talk several years ago about getting rid of the stable at Wawona because the horse droppings were attracting large numbers of cowbirds, which like cuckoos are parasitic breeders and cause the populations of other, less common songbirds to drop. The stable is still there, though.

Info on riding and stock use in Yosemite is avaliable here: http://www.nps.gov/yose/planyourvisit/stock.htm

Hi Appaloosaman!

I'm really glad you joined.

I've never ridden a cutting horse, although I enjoy watching them. It sounds awesome, as does your whole vacation.

The only National Park I've ridden in, has been Glacier National Park, using outfitters' horses.

I know the regulations for taking private horses into Yellowstone National Park (the other NP near me) are very strict. Since weed seeds pass pretty much intact through a horse's digestive system, they are very stringent about weed seeds in manure.

Several years ago, a friend wanted to drive his horse and trailer through Yellowstone as he traveled through the area. He had to completely wash down the underside of truck and trailer and otherwise make sure that no horse manure was on the outside of his vehicle. He was also not allowed to unload his horses for any reason while in the Park. I don't know for sure, but I am guessing that he would have had to certify his horses 'weed seed free' (perhaps only eating weed free hay???) to be able to unload them there.

Hi everyone -- I've been lurking for the past while, and thought I would introduce myself before barging in any further. I'm a 34-year old woman from South Dakota. I have a half-Arab gelding and a three year old Arabian mare. Right now I'm mostly pleasure riding, but I've done a bit of hunter/jumper and some western showing (a long time ago). I grew up around horses and I've been riding since I was tiny, so it was great to finally move somewhere where it isn't quite as expensive to keep a horse or two.

I was very interested to read the conversation above about Seabiscuit. It was given to me as a gift last year, and it's been in my TBR pile ever since. (I've been waiting for the movie to become more of a blur before I tackle reading it, but I think you all have inspired me.)

For those of you who mentioned ponies -- does anyone else love Norman Thelwell's ponies?

31FionaCat
feb 19, 2008, 9:28 pm

I have a beat up boxed set of Thelwell pony books that I have had forever. British humor and ponies -- how can you go wrong? :)

Seabiscuit is the best horse racing book I've ever read. I am still amazed that Laura Hillenbrand basically researched and wrote the book from her bed (she suffers from chronic fatigue syndrome). BTW, my sister and I were unpaid extras in the film. We were two of the fedora hats in the Santa Anita Handicap scene at the end :) It took all day to film just the stretch run portion of the race!

Hi, let me introduce myself, although some of you may already have met me elsewhere on LT.

Real name = Karen. I am 63 yo, retired schoolteacher, living near Seattle. I don't even remember when I started reading horse books but Walter Farley was a big favorite. I spent 8 summers with cattle ranchers in Idaho and had a horse to ride a couple of times. I also attended rodeos in Wallowa, Oregon - truly beautiful part of the world.

I have two artificial hips which may have been the result of falling off horses when I was a kid. LOL

I bought my first horse when I was 42, and all I could think was "why did I wait so long!" And his name was Dragon, so the books about a horse called dragon peaked my interest.
