I got into driving after having a MVA with one of my horses. He made it back to full recovery and I ended up with a bad back and knees. Anyway after a few years I decided to try drivign the mninis and wish I had done it so much sooner in my life. Now have too many minis and now wanting to retire. Just keeping my one riding (passo fino mare) and 5 driving minis for my 4 in hand plus one for a spare. The rest of them I have for sale. I retained the best incase I changed my mind but decided enough is enough and going to let them go.
Thank you Ashley. Storm is a Saddlebred-Arab gelding. Valentine is Belgian-Paint PMU mare, and Magic is her daughter-unknown father. Valentine was impregnated at her Foster home( after being rescued from a Canadian PMU ranch) and just 2 years old when she had Magic. She was the best Mama ever and so young!! I have had horses of my own for 40 years, and a rider for more than 50 yrs.!!
Thank you, Ashley. I am currently a student at the university of Tennessee, working on certification to become a equine rehabilitation practitioner. It involves non-invasive modalities to help healing, performance, core, and neurological deficits. I am a licensed veterinarian technician, and currently working with pups (canines), and I wanted to finish my "bucket list" by working with horses. My two favorite creatures on this planet! I have two equine family members ("yard art"), two pups, three cats, and five cows that teach me lessons every day. So although I don't ride much (time), I like learning all I can about how people spend time with their four-legged partners, and spend my life doing what I love. Please let me know if I can answer any more questions for you. I don't get on the computer much, but will get back to you as soon as possible.
Thank you for your comment, 'Welcome to Barnmice, Gary! :) I hope to see you around Barnmice more! I would love to read your article when you are finished writing it!'
I appreciate your interest in seeing the article. The subject matter is far removed from the world of horses, but the photo of the girl with horse and cat beautifully illustrates 'peace and harmony' in the video poem.
I love to see horses in a pasture, and grew up in a town in the American West, where horsemanship was a part of many people's lives. Yet I never became part of it. I remember dreaming of having a horse, as a young man. Now we live in a small town in Germany. I may not be active on Barnmice, but will always be glad to respond to comments like yours.
I am about to go to the UK to teach for a week. I return on the 18th. I will have some time to respond once I return to Corfu. There are only a handful of horses on Corfu. Keep well and happy horses to you, Franklin
Thanks for your message . I previously boarded my horse at a therapeutic riding facility
and was fortunate enough to see the remarkable difference horses can make in the lives of children and adults with special needs . The adaptive riding equipment is amazing and enables riders with even the most daunting physical disabilities to experience the joy of spending time with the horses . The couple running the facility are completely devoted to the riders and their horses seem to know exactly how precious their riders were and proceeded accordingly : ) The volunteers were great too and I think they were enjoying themselves as much as the riders they were assisting . My own horse filled in a few times with some of the young adults and they enjoyed their rides on her too .
Some of the clients I work with now have visited the barn I relocated to - one teen likes to ride Allie , the others bring carrots and apples and simply enjoy a visit : )
I really think our horses are amazing therapists and I try to share Allie with everyone I can .
Hope to talk with you again - I really enjoyed your website .
Thanks Ashley! I'm taking a forced break at the moment as middle of nowhere Alaska isn't really horse country. I might look for a half-lease this summer though. :)
Well, Ashley, that just made my day! LOL You are the first person that I don't know (family, clients and friends...LOL) who has actually said that! I built it myself about 2-3 months ago and am slowly populating it with info. Slow process! LOL But I do love making life easier for people and horses.
Hi Ashley. I got into polo because I answered a employment ad on EMG for fun. This will be my 3rd season with the polo ponies and so far I'm having a blast! They are also teaching me how to play
Thanks for the welcome. I have 3 horses. Looking to get back in the saddle again.

BTW, thanks for the welcome!! Ranch horses sound like fun. I was involved with barrel and reining horses for many years, but divirsified into hunter jumper's, western pleasure, trail, western riding and horsemanship. Also made up quite a lot of children's ponies, hunter's, etc, I'm little so can do the little ones ;). I would love, love to get involved in western dressage, but only horse we have now is my son's quarab.
My life quest is showing the soul of dogs and horses. How great is that!

Hi Ashley. Yes, I ride. I've actually been a professional horse trainer for over 30 years, training mostly western, but have trained many hunter jumpers, ponies and horses. At this time recovering financially from a bad divorce and trying to find my feet again.

I have actually ridden before, but too often due to the lack of equine associated friends, but yes I have ridden before. n_n
Thank you thank you!!!!!!! Αληθώς Ανέστη!

It is 'Dawning of the Age of Living Wholeness.'

Fun! I would love to try an OTSTB! I currently only have my OTTB...which is my true love :)
I love The Morning Feed, I follow them on FB and they follow my OTTB inspired equestrian wear business. They always have great posts!
Well look forward to learning Barnmice and meeting new people! Have a great day!
Thanks Ashley! I hope you like it, if you get it :)
