#ed_op#DIV#ed_cl#Well I'm 23, I graduated from University last April with a bachelor of science degree in Biology.#ed_op#/DIV#ed_cl##ed_op#DIV#ed_cl# #ed_op#/DIV#ed_cl##ed_op#DIV#ed_cl#I own 2 horses. The first is a TB mare who I did everything with growing up. She got me into dressage when she was diagnosed with navicular and we couldn't jump any more. Lucky she was good at it and I enjoyed it as well. We only ever showed in schooling shows, but did quite well. I decided after awhile to retire her and work on a new project.#ed_op#/DIV#ed_cl##ed_op#DIV#ed_cl# #ed_op#/DIV#ed_cl##ed_op#DIV#ed_cl#My new horse I bought as a yearling and is 3 and 1/2 now. She is a Welsh Cob/TB (she is pictured to the left). I am going to start out with her doing dressage and move hopefully to eventing once she is old enough and if she takes to jumping.#ed_op#/DIV#ed_cl##ed_op#DIV#ed_cl# #ed_op#/DIV#ed_cl##ed_op#DIV#ed_cl#Your horse is beautiful!

#ed_op#DIV#ed_cl#Welcome! I'm 36, an optician, with 7 horses and a donkey. All but one horse live in my backyard, he is boarded because I show him and need the arena over the winter. We're schooling the upper end of 3rd Level and hope to show 3rd Level National next year, we are having a little stifle difficulty at the moment which is worrisome, but realistically he should be OK for 3rd next summer.

I do periodically bring Tuffy out of retirement as she is still working sound and I love hacking her, she is a real hoot, but I don't make working her a priority. When I have time I do, when I don't I don't worry about it.#ed_op#/DIV#ed_cl##ed_op#DIV#ed_cl#Rheo will be getting started next year, I had hoped to send her this year, but didn't have the money. That'll make things entertaining! I'd like to get Allie leased out, but so far no takers.#ed_op#/DIV#ed_cl#
