I'm a "wish I could talk about my horses" too. My old boy - the first horse I owned - passed away at 30 years of age ten years ago this October. I've been riding since I was 6 and really miss having a horse in my life. My first horse was a 3/4 arab. I then moved on to some crazy thoroughbreds, a warmblood and a miniature pony stallion - we were going to breed and show him but ended up that he was just a cute little pet.

When we bought this house a couple of years ago we had originally been looking at 5 to 10 acre properties so I could have horses again, but ended up on an acre in a golf course resort - definitely no ponies allowed! I've been looking into where to take my girls for riding lessons, but want to wait until DD2 is another year older before they start. Then if they're keen I think we might be having to look at moving again to a bit of land - no way we could afford to adgist three or more horses/ponies. DH doesn't ride, but said he would like to get into it when we were looking at land. I've always done dressage, and done the flatwork side of things for a girlfriend who does showjumping, so I'm really hoping the girls are keen.

Will have to become a silent stalker of this thread I think, and enjoy living vicariously through all your beautiful fur babies for a while.
