If so i think that would kind of be difficult considering Leadmare has to continuely publish stories and ect on the site alone. Is that what your talking about? ~HF Jadetmcg- im not sure what you getting at… like a literal hard cover edition publcation of GHC poems and stories?

I started in the round pen, using mostly my legs to cue him through his routine. When i was done with walk/trot, I rounded one of the corners and signaled him with a small tap of the heels and let up on the reigns to canter. He went into that flowing canter of his that i adore; then i remembered that i was riding western. I slowed his canter so that it was almost as slow as s trot; i now had a lope going instead of an upbeat canter. I brought him down to a trot/jog and then a walk. I dismounted after cooling him off and realized that even though Titian couldn't do everything, he could do most things and always tried his best to please me. So, as i was grooming him and putting him back in his stall to cool off, i made sure to give him an extra treat or two and give him a few kisses on the nose to remind him that no matter what, he was the best horse ever. --Wild'n'Free A couple days ago i threw my western saddle up on Titian to try my hand at western once more.

I have the biggest amout of respect possable for all you western riders, because i just can't help sitting up straight and using shorter sturrips and using plow reigining instead of neck reigning and all that junk. My horse Titian -- he's actually a pitch-black stallion that i bought two years ago -- can't neck reign, so...really I couldn't do western very well even if i tried. But good luck horsefeathers riding english and just ask if you need any pointers! I have been riding english for about eight years now, but i have tried western many times before.

I love posting without stirrups, it's useful as well although it kills your leg muscles. Great to hear you weren't thrown, and I wish you the best of luck for your English riding!
