			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div>Hi! My name is Stephy, and I'm from Springbrook, Ontario, Canada. <br />
 <br />
I have 2 horses, a pasture pet named Luna (Qh x pony mare, 14hh, 8yrs old) and a very green and spooky (possibly abused) Friesan/QH x mare named Mylie. I love my horses to death and cannot wait to ride Mylie and become her bestfriend (she's going back to her trainer for 90 days of training and de-spooking lol, I've had her for about 3 weeks, her previous owners did nothing with her after her 30 days of training). I live on a small farm with my brother, mum, and dad plus our 3 cats, 6 dogs, 2 goats, 20 chickens, and 3 ducks!</div>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div>Hey everyone of Horsetopia,<br />
<br />
I have finally gotten the guts to join, I have loved this site ever since I found it on google while searching about horse training advice.<br />
<br />
Last year I adopted a two year old, now three year old paint filly.  She and twenty other horses were being shipped off to slaughter until these two other wonderful people rescued them.  I saw their ad in the paper that they were looking for volunteers and being a horse lover I simply could not refuse.  I helped out there for about four months and then ended up adopting my little girl Ava, and I have had such a blast with her ever since.  <br />
<br />
Anyways, I hope I get to know some of you well and also I can't wait to hopefully give some advice and recieve some too.</div>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div>Hi, I'm new to this site. I was looking up &quot;horse retirement&quot; on Google and found a thread on here and registered so I could contact &quot;Oldbear&quot;, now I'm trying to find that posting again...;)<br />
 <br />
I got my first horse 3 yrs ago. We're both old-ish, I'm 46 and he's 22. I guess we make a good match... I'm unemployed and need to find a place where I can keep my horse where I just have to keep him fed until I start having an income again. He's good where he is until the end of December 2009, then he has to move somewhere else.<br />
 <br />
So, that's why I'm here, but I look forward to being able to participate and learn alot of new stuff since I'm still a novice horse owner!!</div>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div>Hi everyone! My apologies, I'm a little behind getting this up. Have had a lot of things going on in life lately.<br />
<br />
Please join me in getting to know horsemom4 a little better!!<br />
<br />
*Becky..Most people call me Beck and my parents still call me Rebecca occasionally...<br />
<br />
*I just turned 40 on June 6th.<br />
<br />
*I was born in Rochester, MN.<br />
<br />
*I have an older sister and an older brother.<br />
<br />
*I have 5 dogs, 2 house cats, 6 barn cats, 3 pygmy goats, an african grey parrot, a 55 gallon fish aquarium, a 20 gallon fish aquarium and of course 2 horses and a pony.<br />
<br />
*I'm still a stay at home mom.<br />
<br />
*My dad has always had a horse so I acquired his love of them. My love of the horse, is what keeps me in them. I will always have a horse even if I don't ride. I love their smell, the sound of them chomping on hay, their big beautiful eyes.........<br />
<br />
*I've had horses all my life.<br />
<br />
*I recall seeing a picture of me riding at age 3...<br />
<br />
*My favorite breed of horse has always been the Quarter Horse.<br />
<br />
*When I do ride it is very casual around the yard or around the farm riding. I'm hoping in the future to venture out onto more trails and do some group riding.<br />
<br />
*Western<br />
<br />
*My favorite horse was a horse named Del. I rode her when I was a teenager, my fearless years. She was a grey 1/2 Arab mare. We had a wonderful relationship and a great connection. I've never had that kind of a connection with a horse since but hope that I will again someday.<br />
<br />
*It is a &quot;big&quot; commitment! Big manure, big food, big pasture.....but I love it and woudn't want it any other way!...but you need to be commited.<br />
<br />
*Reading, hiking with my dogs, taking photos of my family and pets, and gardening.<br />
<br />
*I think I was looking something up on the net and ran across it by accident. I'm glad I did.<br />
<br />
*WOW, that's a tough one....I can say this...I so appreciate the knowledge, the humor and comradery of the members of HT. It's just so awesome! OK, OK, I'll say...Calicocalgirl...because she seems like she lives a fun horse life, I always love seeing her photographs, and like many of the members on HT she just seems like a darn nice girl.<br />
<br />
<br />
*****************<br />
<br />
Thank you, Becky for letting us get to know you!:D</div>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div>Hello horse lovers!<br />
<br />
My name is Amanda. I live in Ohio. I just recently purchased a horse after not having one for 3 years! She is a registered AQHA filly (2 1/2) solid bay. Her name is Piper or Challengen Tradition.  Once we get our own place we plan to get a draft mare and a few ponies for our 4 children. <br />
<br />
Just thought I'd say Hello. Off to read some threads : )</div>

This seems to be the only forum where I can post.  I've tried in several other forums and keep getting a message saying my post has to be reviewed by an administrator.

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div>i don' t know if i have introduced myself. i subscribed to horsetopia a while ago but don' t remember posting any thing, but anyways. my name is Robyn and i may be getting a horse soon. i have wanted one ever since i can remember and i have now moved to an acreage that can accomadate a horse. i dont know much about them other than the hopping on one and going, so i will be asking a lot of questions. i have a few freinds that do have horses that can help me. i am very excited. there is a chance i will get an american saddlebred, it was kicked in the ancle last week so we have to see how it heals. if its going to be alright that will be the one i get. the horse is supposed to be a present and im not supposed to know but he told me agaist other ppls wishes as he want me to learn as much as possible before i get it. which im glad he did. if not the person giving me the horse will break one that he has on his ranch that was attacked by a cougar. he is an amazing horse trainer.</div>
