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 :)

I am really enjoying this forum and trying to soak in all the knowledge I can...so I'll be a frequent stalker, occasional poster. :) I don't own horses, although I envy all of you who do. I photograph horses and always wanted to be an artist, so it was only natural that I'd be drawn to colorful horses. I grew up watching Fury of Broken Wheel Ranch and Mr. Ed - and collecting photos of old Western stars with their colorful horses, from Trigger to Champion. Only recently have I begun to really wonder why horses 'come out' the way they do and, as such, this forum is a natural. So much information! Anyway, thanks for allowing me to join. :D

Hi again everyone,

ACC, I know you take great photos....and your Lacy is a gorgeous model.

vneerland, I'm up in Saratoga Springs, NY (I just figured out how to edit my profile and add that). Our yards are almost rid of snow in the past few days (YAY!) ;) so life is beginning anew up here. I try to travel as much as possible so as to not get cabin-fever, though. It helps! I'm off to DE/MD this weekend and I'm so hoping they'll have some green grass or early flowers.

Thanks again!

:laugh1 Thanks! Some days I agree with you... and other days I just shake my head. :laugh1

We're starting to see flowers and grass here so hopefully MD will be nicer for you. I go see my mom in Buffalo pretty frequently so I know what you have to live with. I wouldn't wish it on anyone. Then again your summers couldn't be more gorgeous.

Looooooove your Puchi avatar! RIP beautiful boy.

Only just seen this so belated greetings Gander, from sunny England where it actually [i]is[/i] sunny for a change, although it is set to rain later this week and yesterday it looked like it would snow!!!
The daffodils are daffodilling all over the place, and Spring happened officially the other day, and Summertime Daylight Saving starts next week, so everything, including my tubby mares, is gearing itself up for this to be Spring.
Now, if we can just get a Summer, this year, last year it rained right through to October and I lost my hay!!!!

Welcome Gander (if I haven't said it before - where is my memory, has anyone seen it lately?)

I haven't been on much lately due to too many mares delivering on MareWatchers :love ...
