This is Tucker, my dad is making him picture perfect!

Hi, I am Alley. I am 13 years old and I have been riding since I was 4. My mom and dad own a large barn with 18 morgan horses and 1 welsh cob pony. My mom is a trainer and gives lessons with my help, my dad is a farrier. We have 6 borders right now, 2 adults and my best friends Gabby, Bob, Chey, and Rachel.

I own 3 horses, Tucker, Buzzy, and Shakey the pony. I ride Tucker saddleseat and we are always pretty successful at shows, I also drive him. I ride shakey saddleseat too, we do some of the smaller shows. I only got Buzzy 3 monthes ago and I am training him western, who know if I'll get to show him but he is doing really well. I ride huntseat, western, saddleseat, and I drive.

I have done a little jumping but it isn't really my thing. Something kind of funny about me is I have fallen off 17 times! I guess that's what happens when your training little 3 year old morgans and it only makes you a better rider. I have only really hurt myself once and sometimes I land on my feet, it is not a big deal to me anymore.

I love living at the barn, but I hate graing at 6:30 right before school. I have been teaching my 5 year old sister to ride and, of course, she loves it. It all seems strange but this is totally my horse crazy life!!
