The School of Life with Horses

A blog covering my journey with my quarter horses and paint horse. Horse show news from the Pacific Northwest, to do lists, horse tips as I learn and share them, my struggles and solutions - basically everything horse as I come across it.

Roper and Kaiser

Meet the Dogs!

I don't know if I have every properly introduced my dogs - so here they are.

Kaiser is the German Shepard and technically belongs to my husband, and Roper is the Black Lab and belongs to me. They are both a little over a year old and not quite past the chewing stage.....grrrr.



Roper is pretty calm for a Lab dog and makes a good horse show dog as his favorite past time is sleeping in the trailer with me. He is a little slow on somethings which I find odd for a Lab but I love him anyway. I got him from our neighbor who couldn't make him stay home at all and since they had another dog that didn't have problems running off, they didn't want to put up a fence just to keep one dog in. So we got him and he lives inside our fence just perfectly. He is very sweet and is great inside - just lays down and hangs out with ya. But he whines ALOT. Don't know how he learned that but it gets him no where at our place.


Kaiser is the protector and full of energy and personality and he is VERY VERY smart. He is also super in tune with me and my hubby. Our moods, our patterns of daily life, and just about everything about us. He communicates with us so well its almost kind of creepy sometimes. Like living with Lassie. He is a great dog but can be a little more aggressive towards other dogs than I would prefer - we are working on that, he's made great strides on his walks toward behaving normally. He thinks he needs to protect everyone - a trait I don't mind at all and he is HUGE, no one has ever even looked at me cross wise on our walks when he is along.

Speaking of which whenever I get the chance i will take them with me on my walks or runs around a 2 mile lope of road that goes by our place. They love it and it helps them burn off some of that puppy energy. They also enjoy destroying any and all toys that I buy for them. But we love them alot - I would also like to add that we have a very old Rotty that doesn't get around much anymore but still manages to get up and bark at the pups whenever they go flying by looking like they are having too much fun. Her name is Taz. Don't have any current pics of her but we love them all.

About inclined2ride

Live up in Northeastern Washington State - where its cold and we have snow for a loooooong time. Been riding horses since before I could walk - grew up doing the 4-H / FFA thing, and a lot of Open shows. Was educated in Western riding as well as English riding and Jumping. Survived college on Top Roman so that I could keep my horse up there with me. Am now all grown-up with a non-horse husband, and 3 horses to boot (technically 2 horses). I currently show on the local and regional Quarter Horse Circuit with a Paint Show thrown in when I can. Horses are as much a part of me as my arms or legs.
