Name: Ruby
Breed/height: QH - 15.1
Your favorite discipline (whether you ride it or not): Reining! :D
Do you show? If so, what: I show, a little bit of everything. Some English, Western, Halter/Showmanship.
How long have you owned your horse: 1 year as of the 12th :DD
Have you wanted to kill your horse sometimes? (i.e. some how getting out of their stall/pasture eating all the grain.): YESSS. Several occasions (due to my negligence) I've been filling up my mare's water tub with my back turned and she's snuck out of the barn, races across our drive way over to our back lawn and starts grazing. Also when I was holding her at a riding get-together, all tack up, and I was with her, talking with a friend... And out of the blue she drops and starts rolling. With my NEW saddle :P
Horse's nickname: le rubicon, rubicon, lard butt, nerd nugget, what ever fits at the moment :p
Your favorite; mare or gelding: I really honestly prefer geldings, but mares are equally as good. And I love my mare, I just kind of get fed up when she goes into heat. I mean.. It's bad enough when I'm hormonal!
Favorite breed: I do like my AQHA/APHA horses :D But I got a soft spot for warmbloods and haflingers.
Have you ever done cow work? If it was with your horse, what do they think about cows?: Yes, not a lot, just messing around in my friend's pasture with her calves. It was a lot of fun, my mare loved every second of it. She got really hot and excited (manageable), but I kind of enjoyed the extra energy :D
What's the funnest thing or funnest day you've had with your horse: Was probably today for me... First, my mom got home from work and she took my mare out and brought her over by the house to graze a bit.. My mom drops her lead and gets up and stands on our deck keeping an eye on Ruby.. Well... Ruby decided to join her, all by herself, up on our deck with my mom!! It's like 2 feet high with out stairs and Ruby just hopped up there and joined her! it was HILARIOUS! Then later after riding I let her graze a bit more I dropped her lead to let her graze and my dad was playing with the dog and my dog ended up playing with my horse's lead rope and ends up grabbing it and tugging on it, leading my mare around the back yard! It was a fun day:D
And just clarification; When I say 'kill' I obviously don't mean it :) More kind of like, 'pull-my-hair-out-due-to-the-insanity-my- horse -has-caused' kind of thing :)

Have you wanted to kill your horse sometimes? (i.e. some how getting out of their stall/pasture eating all the grain.): Yep. He used to keep breaking fences at one yard we were at (if he couldn't go over or under it, he'd go through it. He's quite the Houdini.) He doesn't escape nearly as often because of the electric fences - he picks his moments when it is turned off for repairs. Last time he took his then field buddy with him (a 13.2hh jumping pony) down the lane and ended up in an old lady's garden!

Have you ever done cow work? If it was with your horse, what do they think about cows?: He hasn't worked with cows, but he has been ridden in a large field where cows were grazing next door. All we can say is that he shat himself - they're strange looking horses after all!
