I got a horse again!! :)
Hello fellow horse lovers. My name is Carmen. I think I was born loving horses. I didn't get to ride much as a kid but did brave my grandparents half wild ponies and thoroughbreds off the track that my grandfather bought from Melvin Foster 35 or 40 years ago. As an adult when I became financially able I took my first riding lesson from Susie Weigand at Bobby Lindsleys farm in Medleys Neck in about 1985. As my knowledge increased I joined the Potomic Valley Dressage Association. I took lessons from a few instructors and attended some clinics. I competed at the PVDA shows at training level. In 2002 I separaited from my husband and could no longer afforde this very expensive hobby. It broke my heart to sell my 6 year old guelding Java who had only ever been ridden by me. It's comforting to know he now has a good home and is still doing dressage. I just bought a horse, just before Christmas. I was shopping for a trailer first but stumbeled on a trailer that also had a horse. The owner was buying a house and was selling out. She was scared of this big green horse and was willing to sell cheep to a good home. I bought the horse and trailer. He's a 5 yr old percheron/TH, light gray, 17hh. His name is Jack. I Love him.

This is my first post. I've read lots of them but haven't had anything to say till now. One of my clients asked me if there was a place where one can rent a couple horses to ride. It's a pre-teenagers birthday I think. The ladies I know wouldn't be interested. I think they'd let you sleep with their husband before they'd let you ride their horse. If you know anyone please reply.
Thanks!

Congrats on being back in the horse world. I left it for 30 years and now that I am back in it I don't know how I ever got along without it.

i know melvin foster he still sells horses, my mom grew up around him, cuz she grew up with her uncle billy smith. I dont like ppl riding my horse either, but i dont worry about that cuz ppl r scared of her, which is funny 2 me. You could call Marys go aroun, she does pony parties.

Hi NEWBEE lol. I am new too, and sort of the outsider b/c i am on the eastern shore of MD. I have 1 horse a very old morgan mare named cherokee that i adopted about 3 years ago now. i don't get much time to ride her but i do visit my mom aka HAPPYAPPY and ride her horses :lmao: I have not been too into looking for a trailer until about a month or so ago, i'd love to take cherokee on more rides and judged trail rides i have never done one of those with her and i would love too. So eventually i will find a trailer that wont break the bank lol.

:howdy: Welcome aboard. I don't post much myself, just read stuff. I'm not riding at the moment, enjoying watching my little baby grow up during her first year of life. This spring I might get back into breaking and working with the young horses.

I'm not a huge dressage fan, I did it because in eventing you have to to get to the fun stuff.

Enjoy!
