No problem, Phoebe! :) If you have any questions, don't be afraid to ask! I hope you find yourself at home here. We tend to be a pretty friendly group. Check out the forum for some awesome, useful discussions, if you would like! :)

Hi Phoebe!

Yes, I know who you are  :o)  When I first saw your name, my mind was racing, whether I "met" you in the bitless forum I'm part of, or if it was the CI forum, but then it obviously became clear to me  :o)

Have a great day!

Hello Phoebe!

Sorry, I hadn't noticed that you sent me a comment until now  :o)  Yes, meeting people in different forums is neat.  There is someone else in the CI forum that I met through a bitless forum! 

Thanks for your kind words about Fanny.  She is a sweet girl, and she gets her mane from her daddy  :o)  We still have issues with me getting on her, but we're slowly working our way up.  Doing a lot of consistent groundwork these days, getting a good foundation for when I get my new saddle and mount her again.

Great news!  I don't know if you recall me asking in the CI forum about the issues I've been having with Fan with the farrier.  She gets antsy and won't stand still.  Well, we had a new farrier come out on Saturday and she absolutely LOVED him!!!  She has NEVER stood that still for a farrier.  He's quiet and soft spoken like me and the barn owner, and Fan was just a big love bug the whole time.  I was holding her lead line, but it was so slack, there were times that her muzzle was almost touching the floor!  When the farrier was done, he put his arm over Fan's neck and started to rub her neck on the off side and she bent herself right around him, loving his attention.  I was one happy camper!!

Have a great day!
