Just wanted to introduce myself.... Hi , I'm Amy and I'm addicted to critters ;D There ,I admitted it and now I can carry on ,guilt free  I live in South Dakota with my 4 kids and hubby ( might as well count him as another kid!) We have just one horse right now , a 9 year old arab mare named Whiskey. She's a huge brat with tons of attitude ! She was bottle raised and we bought her as a two year old . She constantly tests us and keeps us on our toes  She's a keeper ! LOL We had to put my hubby's arab gelding , Speedo , down a year ago this past October . He was 27 years old and suffering from arthritus in his front leg , due to an old injury . We miss him terribly  So , as you can tell we're really into arabs and hope to have more when we finally move to the country ! So since we can't have horses here ( we board Whiskey about 25 miles away at a friend's house) we have dogs the size of small horses ! hehe We have Newfoundlands and are totally hooked on the breed . Just got baby "Winter" last night from a breeder in MO . So if you want to be flooded with newfie puppy pics ,I can do that ;D We also have a hedgehog , 3 Chinchillas , 2 house bunnies (a mini rex and English Lop) and 2 guinea pigs . Okay ,I think that's it . Glad I found this place and hope to get to know ya'll  |

Welcome to the board Noel! Glad to meet another Arab fan ^_^ I have a 13 yr old quarter horse mare, a 19 year old Polish Arabian gelding, and a newly acquired 9 year old Arabian mare. The Arab mare is a rescue we took in, skin and bones, abused, 7 weeks ago. Also have 2 dogs, 8 parakeets, and 3 cats.

Welcome to Equi-Friends, Noel! Another Arabian owner here - we have 2 geldings. Hubby's gelding, Revere, is 11 and my gelding, Taz, is 6. We live in Florida and have 2 boys. Oldest is into sports (football, baseball). Youngest doesn't like team sports but is taking riding lessons!
My oldest will be 10 next month. My youngest will be 9 in April. Where HAS the time gone?
Aside from the horses, we have a Golden Retriever (rescue) named Max and a JRT (or mix, a former stray) named Leia. We also have 1 goldfish (Nemo) and 2 oto-cats (who used to have names but we started with 5 and don't know which ones died).
Oh, and I used to live in South Dakota! My dad was stationed at Ellsworth AFB. I loved it there. We used to go to Mt. Rushmore a lot and even made it to Wall.

Welcome, Noel! There are all sorts of horsey people here, and most of us are crazy about dogs and other critters, too. You should fit right in! Glad to have you join us! |

Welcome Noel!
I had to post because of those familiar places in SD. I lived there for 1.5 years... years I know would have gone faster had I been able to live in the Rapid City area rather than... Huron. AAGHH!!!!
Anyway, I love the way things are pronounced there. You should tell the people how to say Belle Fourche. I remember it didn't take long to understand that Pierre was NOT Pee-Air like everybody outside of the Dakotas thinks!
Anyway, welcome welcome welcome. Looking forward to your posts.

Hi there. My name is Katie, I'm 25, and I have two wonderful girls of my own. The one people have seen if they've seen Amber's avi. That's my younger mare, Cosa. She's three-fourths Paso Fino and one-fourth Arabian. She's a darling and a doll and she's going to be 8 years old this year. My other baby is Rose, a lovely Standardbred mare who is going to be 16 shortly- February 23. She's also an ex-racehorse. Pacer. I just wanted to stop and say hi and get to know everyone. I've heard lots of good stuff from Amber. ^^ |

Well gosh I suppose I had better introduce myself after posting and making a nuisance of myself! My name is Sally (if anyone didn't catch that from MA!). I live fairly close to MA and she was one of the first people I met in IL after moving here from ND. LUCKY ME!!! I know I don't tell her enough how much I appreciate her and all her knowledge! I own a 5 yr old Appendix QH who is my most favorite boy in the world and I also have his 1/2 sister who is a yearling breeding stock paint (she is a sabiano) but registered as a BS with APHA. I have a wonderful husband (except for his aversion to horses!) a 14 yr old son, a 8 yr old daughter and a 3 yr old daughter along with a cat and a rat terrier who is undescribable! I stay fairly busy and don't have near enough time to spend with my horses so right now we trail ride and work on fun games in the arena--but don't get to show  . I think that covers the basics--soon you will all know everything about me!! Thanks again MA for clueing me in on this site--it's GREAT!! |
