Hello

OLDIEGA · 10-21-2009, 08:41 PM

Hello, my name is Leslie and I just wanted to introduce myself. I live in Michigan..for some reason, I'm working on going back to school for zoology/animal behavior and conservation. I am also considering getting a vet. tech degree. I would want to work with horses or with exotics. I currently work as an assistant in a small animal practice and love the rewards and even the challenges.

I own 4 horses...Goldie, Gooch, Belle, and Sugar. And I'm still not over the loss of my oldest friend SlingShot...the first horse I ever knew who passed away at age 25 after dealing with ringbone and arthritis for the entire time we owned him which was half his life. I grew up a western rider...showing with 4H and the highschool equestrian team. I am interested in dressage now, even though i know very little about it. My interest spurs from Gooch, my friesian...my prince charming...who of course would be awesome at it.

I also take care of a Love Bird who doesnt really love to be touched, a rabbit, a chinchilla, a dog, and a cat.

I found Horsetopia for a condition my mare is going through that I desperately am searching for answers for. But also I miss talking to horse people!

Welcome from South Louisiana. Not too many horse people in my area, so HT is a great support system for me.

Welcome, Leslie! I came to Horsetopia to find advice on supplements for my Senior boy, Smoochie, and everyone was so helpful. Sadly, I lost my dear friend last week, and everyone was so kind and so compassionate in helping to console me. I'm so sorry about SlingShot. He will always be in your heart, that I know. I hope you love visiting these forums as much as I am.
