Welcome to Barnmice, Deb! :)

It's my pleasure, Deb! :) I hope you find yourself at home here. We tend to be a very friendly bunch with a lot of ideas and information to share. If you have any questions or comments, don't be afraid to contact me! I hope you'll check out the forum as well for some great discussions. :) Cheers!

The gifts are a thing mostly put on by our host server, Ning. You can send gifts to people for certain amounts of credits. Some are free, but the majority cost. You start out with a certain amount of credits, but once you spend them, you must purchase more to send gifts that require more credits than you currently have. There are a few free gifts that you can send, and you can send them multiple times to different people. :) Hope this helps some!

Here's the "terms" page from Ning that explains a bit better what you would be "getting into" if you purchased credits to send gifts: http://barnmice.ning.com/main/authorization/virtualGiftsTerms?noBack=1

Welcome to Barnmice.

Your horses and pictures are truly gorgeous.

Not a problem at all! :)

Hi Deb, Love your pictures.

Hi Deb! Thank you for the welcome. Yes, I am who won the tickets :) I am beyond excited! Are you also on the Island?

the section 4's are a lot of fun. The stallion, Jasper, is a v nice Lippizana boy. he's only 3. we have a colt of his here as well ( he got in to the mares paddock and the owners thought he was too young to be getting up to funny business , how wrong were they). The colt is only 5 months old, we've called him Scratchy, today he jumped over the gate (1.20m) at a trot, cool as, just trotted around and went pop. Hoping he will grow big enough for me, his mother is an Anglo-Arab who was by a 16.2 hh tb so he might grow..

Had the first sit on Jasper the other day, v nice, just stood still.   

Thanks for the gift.  I'm glad you liked my blog.

Keep on riding!!!

he's going well, I've had the saddle on him quite a bit now and he's longreining v well .I have been a bit crook the last week so I've not done much work on him for a week. Will get around to putting some video up soon.

I don't like to put the young ones on the chambon until they have been ridden a lot.
I'll longrein the breakers for about 2 weeks,in and out of the arena before I ride them outside.

Yes Deb, we too wear out chambons here with lots of use!! I use them to bring horses back into work from a spell,  6 weeks before we ride them.

The breakers I find want to put their heads down and have a bit of a go sometimes and can panic with the chambon. To strenghten their backs I do a lot of lateral work with the longreins, seems to do the trick. 

Thank you so mutch!

i love all your jumps so creative and amazing horses

Thank you so much Deb!  The energy was amazing - I just wish the weather was better that day.

thanks
