Come on people :)
Hi Becky,
I just found this area. I am the worse of all horse lovers. I have 4 of them. 1 32 yr pony (kids when they were little) 20ish QH mare (arthritic and no longer rideable) I just bought a 23 yr QH for a companion for the 20ish girl (she lost her pasture mate this spring and took it harder than I did and I took it pretty hard) and I just bought a 13 yr Fyord. (she is also bred for a spring baby) I have never had fjords before but I am really liking her. I think she will be awesome on some of the trail rides we do. Plus she isn't that tall. Now that I am losing the weight, it is getting easier for me to ride. I also work for an equine vet and that is where I find most of my horses. They joke around about my geriatric horse farm and that they need something wrong with them to live there.
Happy trails...

Hi, Becky - isn't it surprising more horsewomen don't post here? I check it everytime I get on the computer. It's been so long since I was actively involved with horses, even though I have a 17 yr old Egyptian-bred Arabian mare out there eating the pasture bare! Wish I knew of a nice bred Arab in this area that was a cheap date for her. Sure gave me a surprise baby Easter morning 2004. A beautiful dark bay colt. Didn't even know she was pregnant. I bought her as a rescue, she only weighted about 700 lbs. You could see every bone in her body. Just kept getting fatter and fatter, like the other mares around here. I did mention it to my sister one day when we were in the barn as they were coming in at night that Suki sure looked pregnant, the way her belly was swinging as she walked. But Sis said, nah - just lots of grain,grass and TLC. Boy were we ever surprised! Now if you know anyone that would like to have a nice half Arabian colt(registered),let me know. Once into horses, you never get out of them.
