Name: Trite is fine or Kay - if you must. smile
Years working with Horses: Oh god, you're going to actually make me count?!
Okay, well since I was about 9ish - I'm turning 18 this May.
Current discipline(s) you are training in: English. Hunter/Jumper and some dressage.
Do you own (or lease) your own horse?: Neither. Though I am currently working on that. Maybe adoption of a OTTB in the near future. :Ninja:
Do you have a favorite lesson horse?: Not really. There are a few horses I do like, but I try really hard not to get too attached because they just are not mine and I don't want to be heartbroken should anything happen to the horse or say the owner sells it and I never see it again.
Anything Else? I like funky exotic breeds of horse and goofing off in the barn usually ends in pain for me.

Name: Corey, but most people on here just refer to me as Aria. Simpler to remember with the username.
Years working with Horses: 11 now. Wow, I feel like an old maid...
Current discipline(s) you are training in: For myself, I ride Dressage. I've dabbled in just about everything, but Dressage is my love. However, my main focus right now is not on my riding, but on honing my abilities as a therapeutic riding instructor. I've been working in TR for about 3 years now, teaching 2 of them at Ride-Like-A-Knight Therapeutic Riding Center in association with St. Andrews Presbyterian College (where I'm enrolled as a student persuing a degree in, guess, Therapeutic Horsemanship!). I'm sitting for my registered level instructor exam this spring, so wish me luck!
Do you own (or lease) your own horse?: Um, kind of? I still techincally own one of my horses, but he lives at a dude ranch in Eastern Oregon because after an injury, the osteoarthritis that resulted as a complication made it impossible for him to continue training, and he was miserable sitting around in the pasture doing nothing. Apparently he's doing really well as an ranch horse. Who would have thought. But as for having my own horse that I actually get to see and do things with, no. I lead a very nomadic lifestyle, it's not really practical.
If so, what is it's name, breed, color, size?: Griffin, Quarter Horse/Arab (but thinks, acts, and looks like a thoroughbred), Bright Bay, 16.2hh. He also likes being scratched and wants to be your friend. Especially if you'll play tag with him.
Do you have a favourite lesson horse?: Yes! Corky! He's a 16.3ish (or that's my guess) imported Irish Sporthorse Gelding, 13 years old. He used to be a foxhunter, but was donated to my school (all of our horses are donations) because he had developed the habit of running backwards on the trail. He has some anxiety issues, and whenever he gets nervous, he runs on his forehand, but he's getting a lot better, and I think he could be really fabulous someday. I've got another year and a half here to turn him into something incredible, or at least a reliable school horse.
Oh, and all of our TR ponies! I love them! Well, most of the time. Sometimes I think the POA might be better suited for glue than teaching kids with disabilities to ride... but overall, they're all really good.
Anything Else: Horses consume my life. I thought they did when I was younger, but I had no idea. I spend hours at the barn every day riding/teaching/volunteering. Almost all of my classes center around some aspect of horses, whether it be equine business management, horse science, Basic Riding Instruction, or Advanced Techniques in Therapeutic Horsemanship. Any free time I have is usually spent pondering lesson plans, talking to people about horses, dreaming about my future TR center, making plans for said TR center with my best friend, or reading books about, you guessed it, horses. Besides horses, I'm also a classically trained soprano (singer) and I used to act... but I don't have time for that any more because of horses. I'm very open-minded, but also very opinionated. I am extremely passionate about the things that I believe in.
I'm also very long-winded and have a tendency to ramble on incoherently for long periods of time. biggrin
