A quick introduction

[turkana]

Hello
I've lurked on the forum for sometime now so decided it was time to join.
I'm 43, I have been riding since I was a child & I've got 2 horses:-
Hera, 29, hanovian cross ISH who I'm done most disciplines with (apart from dressage) but we mainly teamchased. She's now got a new career as a professional grass eater, a career she takes VERY seriously!
Maddy, 17, anglo arab, rehomed from the Blue Cross in September. We just do fun rides togther.
I've also got 2 dogs a deerhound, wolfhound, greyhound cross & a husky cross german shepherd.
My log name of Turkana is the name of a lovely horse I rode whilst on a horseback safari in South Africa.
Is anybody else being plagued by horseflies? I've never known it to be so bad. Hateful things!

Welcome to the forum

Have you got any pics of your horsies? They sound lovely.

We are being plagued by horseflies and it is driving me nuts - my poor horses are fed up with them

Thanks for the welcome, I haven't got any pictures of my girls on the computer I'm afraid & yes you're right they are lovely (in my opinion anyway!)
Hera is now old & quiet but was a total madam in her youth; I bought her when she was 3 & I always say I didn't break her in, we simply reached an understanding!
Maddy is still an all round madam.
