I am new to this site and also new to owning and riding.I am over 40, and would love to hear some responses from similar and expert advice from all. I am learning reining, want to learn barrel racing etc, and do well in Western Pleasure and Trail. I began riding again-did some riding as a teen...Board at a ranch, and also take a lesson a week...Grace is not registered-her mom isfull quarter and dad- appaloosa/pinto...I know she looks like a Rocky Moutain/Kentucy Mountain...but I have no proof. She is 14.3 hands. We can only show amateur,and that's okay !!
