A Canadian says hi

[Bucked_off]

Hi y’all,
It’s nice to be on the forum here. I suppose I should tell y’all a little about me. I was born and raised in Alberta, Canada, and have been involved with horses for ten years. I currently have two; an 11yo Arabian and an 18yo QH.
Very happy to be here

Welcome to the forum. I hope your user name isn't a daily occurrence ?

Hi from an English woman.

Welcome - I love your forum name!

 

[Bucked_off]

Hi everybody!
(Don’t worry, I usually manage to stay on top of the horse (usually)).

 

[Reacher]

Welcome!

 

[Bucked_off]

Thank you

Hello…have you still got snow?

 

[Prancerpoos]

Hi! Still have fond memories of my visit to the stampede. Loved western Canada. Looking forward to a Canadian spin on threads.

hello (from another fellow Canadian) and welcome to the forum! Seems HHO is getting a fair number of us....although I do live and work in the UK

 

[Bucked_off]

Thank you everyone
The last bit of snow finally melted a few days ago, thank goodness. I don't mind the cold to much but it was super cold for most of the winter; usually it hovers for the most part consistently at around -20C, with maybe one week in February at -40C. This year it was mostly -30C- -40C.
I really enjoy Canada, but I've never lived anywhere else, so I'm not one to judge if it's truly as wonderful as I think it is.
Thank you to everyone, you're all so welcoming.

Summers = greatest place to be
Winter = most awful place to be

Ha. People over here never believe me when I say I would have to plug my car in when the temp dropped below -30 or else it wouldn't start!

Lol @Bucked_off where in Alberta are you from and are you still there?

Hi! Welcome to the forum. Great we are international. Love a QH. My favourite horse in Spain is a QH X PRE. Sensible brain and a leg at each corner! Technically I’m half Canadian as my Mum was a Newfie!

 

[Bucked_off]

Nice! Riding my QH is definitely a break from the crazy Arabian. They're just good, gentle, trusting horses all around

Lol you’re about 3 hrs north of me. I live NW of Calgary. ?

 

[Bucked_off]

Cool . The Calgary area definitely seems to have more horse action than here.
