Kentucky Derby Predictions, and more!




The Run for the Roses, the most exciting two minutes in sports; By any name, the Kentucky Derby is annual happening like none other. Just once a year, we kick off the quest for the Triple Crown, and do so with the greatest race in the sport. The Twin Spires of Churchill Downs, the infield crazies, even the hat parade and waiter races, all are part of the Great American Tradition of the Kentucky Derby. Every year, Louisville, Kentucky transforms from one of the fair sized city of the Mid-South region, on the Ohio River, to a stylish, genteel locale, where the Mint Juleps flow freely, the burgoo is piping hot, and the race is as exciting as ever. So, for those Epicureans amongst us who want to learn more about the Kentucky Derby, the race predictions, the fan fare and the traditions, our gift to you is the Epicurean’s Guide to the Kentucky Derby.

Horse Riding Lessons

Hey guys, I recently wrote a short section on my website about how teens can use their horse riding expertise to make money giving lessons. The article is Tutoring & Lessons 101
I myself am not familiar with riding or what it entails, so if any of you could take a look and give me pointers on what I should add I would really appreciate it!
Thanks,
Kaitlyn

Hi everyone,

My name is Lisetta and I'm new to this community, nice to meet you all.

I live on a 200 acre horse stud in NSW, Australia and I have roughly 32 horses on my property at the moment.

I have many, many photos of my horses; I have mainly warmbloods now but my previous show pony was a Riding Pony x Welshie.

My home doubles as a business and my mother and I offer both rider and horse training.

We also offer agistment and a unique barnstay experience (visitors are welcome to bring their horses for the weekend/duration of their stay and we have some lovely bush trails)

If anyone is ever in the Hunter Valley region of Australia we'd love for you to stop by.

If you'd like to hear more about any of my horses, like to share stories of your own or just want to chat horse-talk I'd love for you to contact me.. It's very rare I get to chat with horsey people on a casual basis, it's much more fun when it's just chit-chat and not business talk. :)

Look forward to getting to know some of the riders and horse lovers out there.

The birth of a new community.

Wow, it lives.
Hello, I've created this community in the hopes of finding people who own horses. I don't own one myself but I plan on it in the near future. I love horses and have been enchanted by them my whole life but since I live in the city I don't have much chance of getting out and being with them. I'm making an effort now to learn about them and hopefully soon I will own one. I hope this community will help me learn and be a bit of fun along the way.
Please future people, share your stories.
