Howdy from KS!

Howdy from Kansas!
It's raining so it's a bit on the dull side at work today

so I thought I would introduce myself to the HT community!
I have thouroghly enjoyed reading the threads on this site and I like how everybody is encouraging to each other, rather than always trying to one up someone. And I love how everyone gets to share their horse lives with other horsey people. That's what I'm looking forward to the most!
I grew up showing Appaloosa horses. I have QH's and apps, but am now concentrating on barrel racing and cow horses, and trying to learn to rope

.
I have 4 horses in my posse right now, but that changes from time to time. But I always seem to have some nice grey Jackie B bred mares--I prefer mares. I think they have more heart and try. And I also care for my boyfriends two old horses, since he is out on the road a lot. I also have a breeding pair of Australian Shepherds that I love dearly! I only raise one litter a year, but boy is it fun!
I'll be sure to introduce you to all my four legged friends in the "meet the...." threads soon!

Welcome from North Texas!

Welcome from just down the road

.

I love aussies, apps, and when I was younger I knew Jackie Bee in person. Have Badger and Goldfingers blood in my pens right now and my very best horse I ever owned was bought from the Walkers production sale. A wonderful big bay Bobcat mare I own until she passed last year.

Welcome from SE TN.. Jackie B's are great horses.. and if I could learn to rope at 40something, you will do great..

Howdy "neighbor"!!!! Welcome to HT!!!

You'll love it here!!! It is kinda rainy and gloomy today!! How'd the show go last weekend? Did you make it down to Hutch?

Rockin GR · 09-05-2008, 03:28 PM

I live a 1/2 mile from where Jackie B is buried. And I am good friends with the girl that is married to Duane's grandson. I go there to ride all the time! Just talked to Heather and she told me who you are! I'm Kim & Bruce Albright's middle daughter. HI! Long time since I've seen you! Glad to know you still have Appys!

Thank you for the encouragement. I started to learn about 10 years ago and was a total natural. Then my horse was stolen so I didn't keep it up. Now I am totally uncoordinated, but every once in a while I catch!

I'm not much bigger now than I was. I maxed out at just over 5 feet tall; though I'm a pretty stout (thanks mom!) 125#s! I guess that's what happens when you throw feed bags and haybales, then wrestle colts all the time.

SunnyKS · 09-05-2008, 04:49 PM

I wish I could say the same for what me "stout" but mine's just fat because I ride a chair all day.

Anyway glad your here!
