| Hi, I'm a 48 year old mother of three. I teach 4th graders at a small, rural school. I currently own two old Arabians, two younger Straight Egyptian Arabians, and two mini's. My family and I do all of our own care and handling. I am training my two younger horses myself. I am very excited about this forum. I was raised with Arabian horses, and can remember as a kid going to the Arab shows and feeling very welcome there. I haven't participated much in the shows since things became less friendly. I took my now 6 year old gelding, when he was 3 and put him in a halter class. I showed him in an amateur class, but was the only amateur not attached to a trainer. I was also the only amateur not whipping my horse prior to the class. Although I was very proud of my gelding for being wonderful at his first experience off the farm, the judge didn't bother to even give him a real look. I am still proud of him but I was disallusioned by the experience. Regardless, my kids and I still had a pretty good time. We spend our time now enjoying our horses at home. I look forward to reading about other horse lovers! Francine:) | |

| Hi Fran! I figured I might as well introduce myself as well. I'm from Pompey NY (south of Syracuse). I figured I would do my into here since it was another person from upstate NY. My name is Katie, I have a semi retired 23 year old PB gelding who was extensively shown since age 5. I show mainly WP but dabble in HP and dressage. He now lives at home with me and has a best friend that is a mini. We have somewhat of a shortage of local arabian trainers in this area. I trained with an arabian barn as a junior exhibitor, then rode ISHA in college, mostly riding Haflingers. Now I do all of my work myself. I'm 26 and for the last 4 years I show up to the shows, do my own set up, take down, bathing, tacking training etc. Love it. Anyway I'm looking forward to interacting with the other ammy army people... its also appropriate since my horse's show slinky is cammo :-) Also I'm on the board of directors for my club and am always looking for suggestions and ways to promote arabians locally. | |
