Welcome to The Aisleway Online! |
'The Aisleway' is featured in Topline Ink Equestrian Journal magazine. Selected questions are featured on the website for Topline Ink Online, too. Read what other equestrians think, read and do. You'll find out as they answer all sorts of questions! Hang out in The Aisleway and you'll know other equestrians views and favorites on many subjects like breeches, boots, books, breeds and more! THE AISLEWAY January 2008 featured only here! Topline Ink Online Exclusive QUESTIONS ASKED EQUESTRIANS: 1.What breed(s) of horse(s) do you have? 2. What is your favorite breed? What did they say? 1) a GOV Oldenberg and a Dutch Warmblood. 2)I don't have a specific favorite breed. I think there are fabulous horses within several breeds. Angel Ozer 1) Mustang, Dutch [KWPN] Hanoverian and Westphalian. 2) I find I have favorite lines rather than favorite breeds. Florestan,[Westphalian], Wolkenstein 11 [Hanoverian], Juventus, Ferro, Democrat, Flemmingh [KWPN] all seem to throw that "can do and love doing it" dressage temperament that makes training a joy and Grand Prix a reality. Sarah Martin 1) We have various warmbloods (Dutch, Rheinland Pfalz- Saar, Oldenburg, and Trakehner), Thoroughbreds, and an Appaloosa. 2) My favorite is any good athlete with a brain, but I do have a soft spot in my heart for Appys and TBs. I like my warmbloods to be at least 1/4 TB. Elaine Cornell 1.) 3 Morgans, a 1/2 morgan mule and 2 donkeys 2. Morgan Lisa Bryant |
1) Currently I own two horses, a Lipizzan stallion and a (AQHA) Quarter Horse mare, but I’ve owned several different breeds in the past including warmbloods and thoroughbreds. 2) I do not have a favorite breed as I look at horses as individuals and take into consideration the qualities that make up a particular horse. There are certain breeds that possess certain qualities that make them more suitable for a particular discipline but I still look more at the individual horse and less at the breed. The main qualities that I look for are (1) temperament – does the horse have a generous, willing attitude, (2) conformation – is the horse built to do the job that I’m asking, (3) athleticism – is the horse an athlete with 3 good gaits, good flexibility and suppleness, and (4) soundness – is the horse healthy and sound. Maribeth Wells 1) Breeds that I have: American Saddlebred; paint; miniatures,Holsteiner; multiple other warmblood flavors (Trakehner, Hanoverian; Canadian) 2) My favorite breed has to be the saddlebred Bev McLean Tetrick
1: DW, TB and Hannoverian 2: Hannoverian Maria Riva |

Vickie Sharp: Jane Savoie Elise Steinberger: Anatomy of the horse Lisa Sutherland: It's actually a live one of me on cross country course. I watch and cringe.
