Just started a lease on this beautiful guy. He's an 8 year old paint gelding named Montgomery, or Monty, for short. He's a bit bigger than the horses I'm used to riding, but so far it's all going nicely.
By the way, that's not me in the pic, that's his lovely owner.
He's bombproof, nothing scares this guy save jet skis apparently, and I believe it. The only issue he has is that he gets a bit barn sour, but he used to be a rent-a-horse, so that's expected. He just takes a bit of confidence to control and he's great. I've ridden him a total of three times so far, and I LOVE him. xD Not so much his trot though, I'm having a hard time getting used to it, he's got REALLY heavy footfalls, so he's realllly bouncy.
Whatchoo guys think? And any tips for a bouncy horse? xD

You ride western right? Then I have no advice rofl I love western, but grew up with english trained horses. Where if you don't hold the stirrups exactly right they trip over their own feet, and you have to post when they trot and canter.
My favorite horse was named Twin-Bee. He lives at a barn in Quebec where there's a riding school. He's suppose to be for the more experienced riders because he supposedly kicks and bites. I guess they were short horses when I had him for the first time cause I'm by no means experienced. But I rode him for a week straight and he was awesome. I've never had any problems with him. Once I was waiting for my turn with him, and the girl from the class before me was trying to undo her saddle, and he bolted, ran right for me, and started rubbing his face on me. Was soo cute. For the competition/show at the end of the week I got stuck with a horse that doesn;t bounce period. Seriously, even in a canter! I was on the wrong lead the entire time. gonk Apparently Twin-Bee also doesn't like winter. And I was there for a day, and I took him out, and had been riding him for 10 minutes when the owner's wife came to me and said I had to go switch horses, cause he threw an experienced rider off and I couldn't handle him. I'm like, oookkk, so I rode him back to the barn, he never gave me any trouble, I was really upset I didn't get to spend time with him. I haven't seen him in years. crying
My other baby was my aunts beautiful Goldrush a.k.a Teddy. He was a jumping horse. He was MASSIVE. My aunt likes big horses lol. I learned to ride on him, I was maybe 5, and he was super sweet as if he'd been trained as a learning horse for kids. I was an awful rider and he always put up with me without any complaints. He passed away several years ago from cancer. Here's a pick of him being super patient with me.

What a beauty! At my riding lessons,im now riding a horse called Yougi,i don`t know what breed he is,but he`s 16 hands [and he`s massive],and he`s chestnut colored. I used to ride a slow,fat,short horse called Tristan,he was cool,but i love Yougi wayyyy better. Yougi is also really bouncy,you just have to get used to the way he moves,and padding also helps xD
