It was interesting to see pics of us all, we have had pics of our horses and us so we can now build up a picture of the forum, and this may well have been done before but I was wondering how far the age range stretches on here. Both for horse and rider......Appologies if this has been done before.....
 
Well I'm not giving definite ages but the first ODE I did the combined age was well over 60! The horse is approaching 20 though!
 
I'm in the 13-18 years age bracket. I don not have a horse.
I have not posted pictures of me due to the fact I do not know who could be looking at them and what they could be planning

blimey, thats a bit sinister isnt it???!?!? i wouldnt have thought H&H would be a prime target for paedophiles, but there you go!
 
Well I can assure you I am not planning anything- I have posted some pics so you can see what I look like- for those who are interested I am 23. I am just intreagued as to what sort of person uses the forum and the kinf of horses we have. I guess I could be classed as nosey!

No, it is a very wise comment, my heart sinks every time I see a photograph on this forum of what is clearly a teenager adopting a 'pose'. Whist there may be little interest in fuzzy shot of people sailing over jumps to the paedophiles, some of the other pics posted in the last couple of days could be viewed quite differently.

i do appreciate there are certain dangers involved with the internet, but what with the likes of Facebook, Bebo, Myspace etc, i cannot see what harm posting a simple image of yourself on here is going to do. if some sad git wants to sit there drooling and htinking impure thoughts, thats their problem; its not like you can be tracked from a photo, and nobody posts their address on here!

You would be very surprised, as to the amount of information that one can collect on here. If someone picked up on a certain person and read their posts regularly, they could very easily get enough information about you, as we tend to forgot that it is not just "us" reading the thread.

I wouldn't know too much about Bebo, Facebook et al, I don't use them and my teenage son is under no illusions, he won't be using them either. The difference that they are social networking sites and posting there to an extent means that the poster knows that they exposing themselves to the world.
This site is different. To most of us it doesn't really matter what age group you fall into, or what you look like, it is your interest in horses that is important.
You will find that some of the 'older members' here are protective of the younger ones, who do sometimes forget that you can never truly know your audience on a public forum
 
interesting asking our ages, cause last week i was having conversation with a fellow h&h forum person, and wen i told her i was going to buy a new horse she said , " have u asked your mum, ", lol, iam nearly 40 years old Lol , xxx bless her
 
I'm in the heading towards 50 age group and have three 8 year olds and one 10 year old. Not posted any pics as I live in the analog age and I wouldn't attract any paedofiles more likely those who prey on the elderly
 
I too am in the 41 - 50 age bracket and am feeling terribly, terribly old - especially looking at the pics posted on the 'you' thread.
My horses are 7, 14 (with a beeuuutiful 2mth old filly at foot) and my astonishing 32 yr old arab who still hacks and thinks he's 2.
The latter is my salvation cos if there's four of our years to every horse one then the old boy is 128 making me feel positively youthful!
