Hi,
I've been lurking for a little while and made the odd post but I have never really introduced myself so I thought I would say hi. I've been a member of an american horse forum for ages but I wanted to get a more English perspective... I've found the HHforum really informative so far!
I own one horse (in my sig). I saved up for years to buy her and she is my pride and joy. She is only 15.2 but she has a huge personality that makes me laugh. She throws more tantrums than my teenage sister! Although she can be very naughty, I love her to bits and she has taught me more about jumping than any horse I've ridden before. We mostly do showjumping at the moment because that is the Big Thing on my livery yard, but I'm going to have a go at some BE next season which should be fun - if we can get the dressage together...
I work part time on a Yard as an instructor/rider which is great because it means I do almost no yard work... just teaching and riding! I don't have my AI yet, but I'm working towards it and riding lots of different horses is really helping. Any advice on the PTT would be most appriciated.
Well, you will probably hear quite a lot from me in the next couple of weeks because I came off a friend's unbacked 4yr old 3 weeks ago and fractured my spine. I've only just been able to sit at a PC and I can't ride or drive yet so I am Very Very bored lol. .
Anyway, thanks for taking the time to read this and please feel free to share your life stories etc and say hello. I have lots of time to read replies
