Thanks so much Jackie! I probably can't contribute much info on horses....My husband has been a trainer and breeder of Arabian horses for over 40 years, however now that he's disabled....I'm trying to take care of the ones we have left. I was excited to find this site...hoping to learn more about what I'm doing!
Hi! yeah i do and yupppers the one an only i sometimes ride with a snaffle but she does better bittlless so i decided if she doesn't need it why not :D :) what breed is your horse?
Thanks so much for your message. I think being a horse person helps anyone in so many ways. Most are a determined and maybe stubborn lot, which often is not a bad thing. My good friend Lynn who has had MS since she was 18 years old has been such an inspiration to me because she dedicates herself to her fitness routine and it has helped her immeasurably. I don't know how she would fair with riding but I'd love to see her have the opportunity! Yeah horses!!!
Jackie...I am so happy you ride! I have a number of very close friends who have MS and my brother had MS since he was 16, along with a cousin. Horses are so healing. I have been a Youth Care Worker with troubled kids and saw how healing and empowering they are. But I know I don't have to tell you that! Horses, art and kids...the best combo!
I'm just kidding about being a pathetic horse fool Jackie, but you know what it's like, once you been bitten by the bug, it's an addiction and when I'm not around them I feel a huge void in my life like I'm jonesin' for a drug! That's what I mean!!!
You are fortunate to have some horses to hang out with and ride!
I had been finding out so much about the Canadian horse Jackie before I finally got an opportunity to meet a whole herd a number of years back. I was in the middle of the field and they all came up around me. They are really people horses.
Thanks for the welcome. I'm such a pathetic horse fool, without a horse! :( Pretty sad eh?
Oh well I live vicariously through those who have horses! I especially love Canadians. I am an artist, and love to paint horses especially Canadians. Catherine.
Hi Jackie, Glad to be your friend too! My Fjord is 11 years old, I've had him or I should say he's had me since March 2008, 3 + years now. We do dressage and compete locally. He is one smart cookie and, came with a little baggage that we've slowly peeled away, Fjords are so adorable and loving that people forget that they are horses and they can get spoiled very fast. He's a good boy and love him more everyday. How about you, what do you do with your horse?
