Thank goodness you wrote this as I also brought over all my tack, rosettes and two suitcases full of pony books!! :/ Now taking it all back again :0 plus 2 extra saddles numerous bridles and other stuff. OH refuses to let me bring home jump stands though :( Not long now :)

Which part of Canada did you come from?

Ooh I can contribute here. 4 years ago December just gone we moved to Canada. Came for adventure having lived all our lives in the same town and see where it took us. Bought a house then a horse, enjoyed experiencing the differences and learnt lots. 2 years later we bought our own acreage...

We've had snow on the ground since October. Temperatures this week have been dipping to -29C. I want to go back to the Uk to get away from this but it looks like the winters are getting colder each year over there!!!!!!

Me too!! :)

Born and bred! Returning soon :)

You seem to be passionate about Standardbreds which I applaud you for, so perhaps we could agree to disagree. There probably is no right or wrong answer to this and I prefer to think I'm a person with an open mind so thank you for telling me to enjoy my horses I hope you enjoy yours too and we...
