I lurk on ablackhorse and saw a thread about the Ammy Army. I figured that was totally me, so here I am.
I have one purebred arabian gelding (Magnum Psyche X Bey Shah dtr) who I just got 3 weeks ago. He is the biggest horse I have ever owned, at 15.2, to me that is a long way to fall, LOL. Not sure if he will be our hunter or western pleasure show horse...we are putting him with trainer Lori Raglan (near Austin) on March 1st to see what she thinks (plus he has to be well trained enough that I trust him to pack my 12 year old son around the ring safely). I am hoping for hunter but it would be a huge bonus if he could do both. He has shown both but not done well, not sure why and I'm still trying to contact former owners for more info on that.
Our goal is local shows to start, and hopefully we will be showing him at the 2010 Lone Star Classic and the Spring Fiesta shows here in San Antonio. I don't see showing at Region 9 this year, but next year is a possiblity.
So, hi and I will be around, soaking up as much info as I can.
