Where to start? Horse lovers??

Heather, I think that's huge! It's the little victories that win the war, right? :happy:

We got serious icing last night, and can't drive at all. Had to walk over to take care of Sully this morning (it's about 3/4 of a mile). Slippery! But Sully was fine and jogging around his paddock waiting for his oats and hay. He never even slipped. I guess I really didn't know how capable horses can be in ice. He's kind of a clutz under the best of conditions, so I worried about him all night. :ohwell: Apparently it was unjustified!

Jumping in the Horsey people blog! I grew up on an appaloosa breeding farm, shortly after my mom passed away I stayed away from horses for almost five years at it was just too painful for me to be around them. Two years ago by strange circumstance I got back into riding, and swiftly fell passionately in love again! I had experienced some bad falls before my mom had died, and my confidence was really really low, but I leased a number of different Confidence Building school masters to get my confidence up again. I started taking lessons with a dressage coach, with the hopes that doing some intexive work on my seat would help prevent me from becoming a human lawn dart as I had before. Having come from a western background and a mother who was into reigning, I was very surprised that I loved everything about dressage. I still need to work on my confidence, but I've been fortunate enough to be riding consistently for the last two years. I don't think that anyone could pry me away from horses now, I'm a lifer

Wow, breathing life back into an old thread. Sweet!
