Greetings from Sweden!
Have been lurking on this forum for quite some time now and finally decided to make an account.
A little about me:
Have always loved horses since the first time I discovered them when my granddad made the big mistake of putting me on a horse when I was around 3. Sadly it was also around that time my family realised that I was extremely allergic to all things furry including equines. That resulted in some pretty tough years for my poor parents- having a horse crazed, severely allergic kid must have sucked. Fast forward 30 something years and the allergies are gone (yaaaay!) and I'm a horse owner since about two years back. Starting riding as an adult is pretty hard, mostly because the self preservation instinct is much more developed and you just don't bounce as well as a kid does when falling off (?) but it feels so damn good to finally be able to realise your childhood dream.
I started off with a old mare and school master but unfortunately she had to be pts because of an tendon injury. Afterwards I tried with different cold blooded breeds including cobs and also owned a tb (lovely horses, but not my cup of tea. Sooo many boken bones because of him...) and are now owner of the most wonderful little bay mare imported from Lithuania, of the pretty rare, old breed called Zemaituka (they rode in the crusaides on them!). She's only four, but seriously is the horse love of my life ?
That's a little about me. Glad to finally be a part of the community! Sorry for all the possible spelling errors, since english is not my native language.
