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

From Germany

Hi, I wanted to introduce myself. I am from Germany and I am horse-crazy since the day I could walk. :bounce There never had been enough funds in my family to own a horse when I was young so I depended on lease horses and school-horses in the beginning. It was not a bad training since there have been many problem horses. ;) So far I have owned two horses myself, both had to be put down at age 9, one was poisoned by a farmer and the other suffered from ataxia and could not be saved. :cry: I joined this board because genetics are fascinating! ;)

Welcome Tjuri. How wonderful to have been blessed with good friends and so many interests in life. 8-)

Thank you all. Yes, I was blessed having Sara as a friend. The trouble with many interests is you sometimes don't know where to start because it's ALL so interesting to learn something new. :bounce

Lipigirl: Alois Podhajsky was a great horseman and obviously also a good teacher, two things that don't always go together. I love the dedication to his horses that shows in his books! :love

Crittercreeper: I already started picking... :bounce some phenomenons are keeping my brain busy now for decades and STILL I have no answers to them! I try to learn something new every day, but certain problems I could not get solved yet and it drives me nuts - I am patiently with animals, but not with myself! :laugh1

Pictures - I love them too, I guess I am one of the few people in this world without a digital camera by now... maybe for X-mas???:oops: :roll:
The ones I have uploaded on photobucket are mostly 20 years old and older... so no comparison to the great quality you have on this board... :evil: I have a problem resizing the pics :? - need to figure that out too! So, something new to learn every day. :D :bounce

I like the open-minded people on this board - ready for a new discussion but polite and respectful, I appreciate that! :flower
