I totally forgot that most of my life, I’ve been into horses..training, driving, jumping, breeding, trail riding..but not in the “American” way.
I don’t believe in stalls, feeding processed food, metal horseshoes, halters, bits and bridles, or even using saddles. I prefer riding bareback without using a bridle as Native American Indians did, even driving horses on carts with loose lines, using my thoughts to signal them.
My favorite horses since I was ten, have been mustang derivatives, but I’ve also owned an Arabian, a Standardbred, many racking horses, Walking Horses, an American White, etc. but I prefer a mustang cross because they are the most comfortable to ride bareback, highly intelligent, calm, look out for me and my kids, have extreme stamina and coordination.
But when I came up with a new invention that lets me cruise along at jogging speed, up hill and down, with little effort, I lost interest in owning horses. I can store my “gallopers” anywhere, even in a backpack, yet have instant transportation.
I do miss horse love and personalities though. Several of my horses risked themselves to save me from danger, even my children.
