Newbie from Ontario

Hi Folks, found this web site a few weeks ago, been checking in everday ever since. I think it's great!

I'll give you the Readers Digest version of my background.

Got my first pony when I was six, parents moved to the city when I was 14, no horses, landed a job as a live in babysitter for a couple that had four boys and four ponies, got me a horse too!

Then life happened, marriage, kids, no money, no horses! Then with a little patients back came the horses!! Well before you knew it the kids grew up, lost my job, sold the farm. no horses!

More patience, few years went by and back in the horses I was. Just when life was going good, grandkids and horses, I hurt my arms and was no longer able to look after them so I was forced to sell my horses once again. no horses!

After a few years of Dr.'s and no healing I decided I wasn't going to give up and bought myself a pony!!!! for the grandkids.

I'm back in the game!!!!!

As soon as we get some sunshine I'll post some Pics
