Due to decreasing use over the years, I have decided to disable the forum functionality of the site.

Forums will still be available to view but new posts are no longer allowed.

Hello ,

Hi , I thought I may as well be the first newbie to come out and introduce myself , my name is Sue , I'm english but I live in Ireland ( Irish husband) , we have bred/ridden sport horses for many years , in 1995 my OH lost his leg and we continued to ride but due to heart probs and Patrick constantly falling off we decided it was safer to concentrate on our little herd of miniature horses hence my need to educate myself in the mysteries of colour genetics ! Ive been reading the threads on the main board for a long time so I have the basics , but I'll apologise in advance in case I ask any dumb questions

Hi Sue

Joanne Here :P

You'll love it here, you'll be able to ask all those questions you have on colour and get some really knowledgeable answers, then i can pick your brains :D

There! Now I can hide behind one of the most common names on the planet. Thanks Daylene. :flower

Speaking of the site - alford - have you done any site optimization with Google and Yahoo? :D

Daylene Alford Tue, 03/03/2009 - 21:17

I submitted the site with google for indexing. Meant to do yahoo but theirs is so darn hard to find and it slipped my mind.

Daylene Alford Wed, 03/04/2009 - 18:51

We're up to the 5th page when you search in google now and the 2nd page on yahoo:D And the old site is completely gone from the searches :(

I am vneerland who's real name is Judith. But I go through life with my dogs affix. :D
I almost wished I was a :newbie so I would not have to feel like old news. But I have been hanging around these horse girls for a good while now. Dunno. Four years, I guess. :oops:

Figured I'd say hi. I'm a grad student in California and the forum switch coincided with a rush of experiments and my funding possibly running out, so I've been making myself scarce. I'm TAing next term so I'll probably remain scarce :sad

But how cool are these?!!! :bounce :booty :HB :laugh1

Shoot even *I* feel old, and that's saying ALOT. :laugh1

Oh nerd, not good on the funding front! Hope the dry-up doesn't happen.

nerd Tue, 03/10/2009 - 21:57

We'll see... if my current source of funding isn't renewed, I won't have to keep doing certain experiments which are time-consuming and difficult to publish. Instead, I would be able to switch to a more established system where I could get data much more quickly and hopefully turn the grad school crank a lot faster. At least that's what I keep telling myself :?
In the meantime, here's to fellowships... :whip

Hey! We are not the ones who are endangering your funding. :o So why are you mooning us? :mrgreen:

Hello All! It looks great over here! :toast

Obviously, I kept my name from the old board. How many others are we missing from over there?

Anyone know how to get ahold of the Professional? I had his e-mail in my PMs on the other site.

Sara Wed, 03/11/2009 - 20:12

Someone had mentioned missmagus -- I think she can be found at a black horse if anyone here also has a membership there.

I don't have any information on the Professional.

HI all!!! glad I found the site, thanks Paxo!!! :HB

vneerland Thu, 03/12/2009 - 10:47

[quote="dakotakdq"]HI all!!! glad I found the site, thanks Paxo!!! :HB[/quote]

Welcome back!
Paxo/heather herself is still (mostly) missing here. :( She bravely mans the original back up board. It's nice there too, but I plead guilty to prefering this format here. :oops:[size=65] (where I can jump into the new posts for example) [/size]

critterkeeper Thu, 03/12/2009 - 16:01

Did anyone ever get in touch with Sarah?

Nerd, don't exclude these smilies

A message on the backup board says that it will be shut down in about a week and then Heather gives this forum address and says this will now be the main forum. It will make it easier only having one.

Sara Thu, 03/12/2009 - 22:34

I believe Daylene has tried to reach Sarah with no success.

Daylene Alford Thu, 03/12/2009 - 22:42

Yes, I tried calling the phone number that was listed in the whois info that I had found. I got a voice mail that wasn't personalized and left a message. That was about 2 days after the original site went down. I also tried to locate the web site for the web design business she used to work for/operate but that site was down as well.

:roll: Don't be so hard on yourself. You are a LOT prettier. :lol:

rabbitsfizz Fri, 03/13/2009 - 14:53

Whoohoo, I only just now found this place....you have to realise it is quite hard for me to navigate the stairs these days, let alone the Internet!!!
I have really been having a "knickers on me head" month.......getting old is hard to do (to paraphrase!!) :flower
Anyway I am watching Red Nose Day/ Comic Relief and amusing myself at the same time (I am, luckily, easily amused)
I shall give some money at the newsagents tomorrow (basically I will do pretty much anything David Tennant tells me to , and he is up on the telly telling me to give money) but I won't give though the Internet.

NZ Appaloosas Sun, 03/15/2009 - 20:06

Ohhhh, David Tennant...what's the poor luv needing dosh for? (him and John Barrowman...le sigh...what a waste... LOL)
