Any of you close enough to Peoria to come riding this spring? I would like to plan a weekend campout for just people and their horses. El-natural, i.e. campfires, tents and stars, no toilets.

No, I've not been there. I really have not been anywhere other than my own property and a local state park which was soooo crowded I had no fun at all. But if I had someone to ride with a park might be more fun. Where is Sullivan-Green located? Or is that the name of the town?

We're a couple hours' drive down south from Peoria. I doubt I could talk the other half into driving that far for a ride.

Then come for the whole weekend. You can camp out right here on the property. But with what we call a "ruffin it bonus", our tack room has a bathroom with a shower in it.

First name- Rebekah/Becky. My middle name is Carter.

Favorite class- Ceramics or anything to do with Art.

Favorite food- Lady MCSE had it right, the list of food I don't like would be shorter!

Last place vacationed- Texas for 2.5 weeks in early December...LOVED IT!

How many horses- 1 QH/APP. Technically my parents own him and he was bought for my brother many many moons ago.

If I could change one thing about him, what would it be- I'd give him little more spunk. He is honestly one of those kid safe horses and has been since we got him at the age of 4 ( he is now 22 or 23).

Why did I join this forum-So I can chat with other horse people close to me .

Where in Indiana do I live- Elkhart- 20 min from Southbend or about 45 min from Shipshewawa, approx 5 miles from the michigan state line. I think that's enough info .

First name...you can call me AG.

High School...that was a long time ago... , prob English.

I love most all food but have finally seen the light and lost the extra pounds I've been toting around for years. I guess anything on the menu at The Olive Garden followed by anything chocolate-y for dessert...in moderation, of course .

Last vacay was down to Northern ALA to see my sister and her family. Lord, was it HOT...

Currently have 3 horses. I love them all dearly and rather than change, I wish I could alter the past of my 1 eyed mare. She had a pretty rough go of it b4 she landed here and I can only imagine how she could have been had her life been different. Though if she wasn't as beat up as she was, I never could have afforded to buy her.

Why did I join this forum? Seemed like a fun thing to do .

I live in northwest IL, about a 1/2 hour from the Mississippi River and the IL/IA border. I was born and grew up about 40 miles W of Chicago, in Aurora, IL. As Aurora grew larger, it wasn't where my husband and I wanted to live and raise our kids so we looked west, waaaaaay west, and found a little 10 acre place out in the country. Now we're about 3 hrs almost due west of Chicago, but I still have family in Aurora and my son lives in Chicago, so we make lots of road trips. Chicago has so much to offer, we go back for The Taste of Chicago, the Air and Water show on the Lakefront, Lollapalooza in Grant Park, Blues Fest and always to enjoy the sights and sounds at Christmastime, though it's still a shock to see Macy's instead of Marshall Field's...grrrr... .

I guess that about covers it .

That would be great! I help out at the tack store in Hanna City. I list some of their items here on HT for her. So ya, we'll all have to get together some time.
