Hello everyone :)

I've just joined here tonight - well actually that's a lie, because I joined in 2009 but didn't post anything!! - so just wanted to come and say 'hi' to everyone.

My name is Samantha and I live in Northern Ireland :D. I own a 14.3hh Cob cross called Sweeney who is 7 years old. I've owned him for just coming up on a year now (how time flies!!).

I bought him to bring back my confidence and he's done that and more! I had a bad experience with a horse - who I had to later sell on - and my confidence was down at zero. This time last year I could barely trot. Now i'm galloping round the fields, doing small cross country jumps, hacking, cantering and having a ball!! I still have days where I get an attack of the nerves, so on those days we will take it easy and just do some light work. There's always another day!

Here's a few pics (ok ok a lot!) of him:

Aw thanks everyone! It's great to have my confidence back again, i'm having so much fun with him. He's my pefect horse - he's a bit quirky and will sometimes test me - but he must have been made for me because he doesn't make me nervous and I can deal with his little tantrums!

Summerleft - he was extremley grumpy that I had dared to take of pic of him while he was lying down - you can see the disgust written all over his face, poor pony!!
 
Hello!

He is lovely, those photos are great.

I'm new too but don't have a horse and i'm not really getting a chance to ride much just now (hence joining this forum for a bit of a horsey fix). We can be new together:)

And yay, another newbie!! I don't feel so totally alone now :)
