Hello! My name's Kali.
I have 3 wonderful horses. My first horse, Atlas, is a half Arab (pinto) gelding. We used to take lessons and compete, but not anymore. Atlas has also developed an eye condition and is partially blind, but he is doing well. He's 16 now, and my best friend.
I also have Rosie, a Shetland/Connemara mare. She's lots of fun with a very 'strong' attitude (lol)...but that's okay, I love it that she's comfortable enough to act how she wants. I hope that doesn't sound like I let her get away with murder or anything
, I don't, but I let her...what's the right word...express (?) herself.
And in January I brought home a 5 month old PMU colt. He's a Belgian/QH. Quite scared/untouchable when he came. Now he's so much more confident. My first time 'starting from scratch' with a horse. He is doing very well and I'm very excited to keep working with him.
And a little about me...I'm a vegan, so I don't use leather. I've always hated bits. And I did not know there was a name for when you put a loose rope around a horse's neck and ride like that (
)! Anyway, I've always been very concerned about putting my horse's needs and wants before my own because he is gracious enough to let me on his back and listen to me so I owe him that. I don't like competitions, never did even when Atty and I were doing them. I don't even like saddles, I have a couple but I ride bareback or with a pad a lot. I'm interested in treeless saddles though. But also I don't want to offend anyone who disagrees with me and does something different! That's just how I think. My thinking has changed so much from when I first began, and it keeps changing as I learn more. Anyway, there's so much for me to learn and I feel like I've found a great resource here. So...hello!
Looking forward to getting to know everyone and what you do with your horses. Thank you for reading.
ETA a fun pic of Jack and I (this was about a month ago?). Hope it's not too big, I'll fix it if it is:
