I skijourn, show, barrel, jump, and race my horses Kiss and Destiny, but Buck is only used for trailing and photography.
I prefer English saddles when I'm doing those things, but I love using Westerns when I'm on Bucky.
I swear Buck and Destiny look almost exactly like Spirit and Rain from the movie Spirit. The only differences are that Buck is a buckskin and not a dun, and Destiny doesn't have blue eyes and is more solid-colored, but both Desi and Rain are bald-faced and have blue eyes. Since my horses were born before that movie came out, Dreamworks stole them, hah.
