Another horse crazy person...
Hello!
I've been snooping around this forum yesterday and there have been so many themes I wanted to participate in I just had to sign up - even tough I'm not a forum/chat person; but you guys got me  !Totally fell in love with the way everybody "talks" to each other and it really seems like you guys are there for each other - like a family! Just a bit about me - the "just born" member: I'm 32, been horse crazy gal since I can think even tough it doesn't run in my family. Lucky me, our neighbors had show jumpers and their stable was the place where mom could find me after school... Coming from Switzerland (therefore excuse my spelling/grammar mistakes  ) where horses are extremely expensive, I was never lucky enough to have a horse of my own. But in all these years I got a very good picture of the horse I wanted - and here in Canada I've got even more than this! At the "old" age of 30 I finally got my first horse. Or shall I say he got me  ? To make a long story short, in the meantime my husband and I have three horses and a baby on the way... I'm soooooo excited! "My Lady" should foal at the beginning of May. I’ll definitely keep you updated on how she’s doing!Having three wonderful and totally different horses in the pasture all with great stories behind them I can't wait to participate to this forum... I'm looking forward to meeting you all! Update @ 10 PM This is my Timber... a TB/QH cross and going on 12 this year. I've got him im October 2005 and... what can I say, he is truly the BEST horse for me! Ready at any time for any kind of sillyness but lots of go and sometimes quite a challange to ride - that's why I love him!  This is my husbands Sunny Boy. He is a paint turning 6 this year. A bit stubborn at times but with a huge heart. The perfect horse to double on and teach my husband to be strict with horses  Last but not least my girl My Lady She's had a rough start in life but I wont' go into details here... she is very happy now with us and loves to be pampered. My Lady is a standardbred/arab cross also turning 6 this year and as you see in the pic pretty pregnant The daddy is absolutely stunning jet black QH... mhmmm... can't wait to see the foal. She is due first week of May. I hope you enjoy our horses & would love to get some comments on them! |

Hey GypsyGirl!!! What a surprise! I really do have to stop by and see how Gypsy is doing! Is she very big??
I'm attending a Hoof Trimming course this Weekend so won't be able to see even our ponies but since the days are getting longer I just might stop by after feeding them during the week... Do you know when Moxy is due? I can't wait to see who's baby will be first?? |
