Happy to find ya'll from Florida

Hey ya'll,

I saw the article in Modern Arabian Horse, so I stopped to check it out. I am an endurance rider and an equine photographer
and just getting back into showing after being away from it for many years. I just acquired a straight Egyptian colt that I
plan on showing this year so this group is just what I needed for help, support, advice, and hopefully new friends.

I'm looking forward to being a part of it all. I'm shooting for the Amateur show in Ocala and the Egyptian Event in June.

We are all very happy to have you aboard.

Welcome!

I'm also new mingo. Nice to meet ya. I, too, have been away from the show ring for many years. I bought a SE colt years ago to start my breeding program and to use as my show horse but a back injury stopped that stuff in it's tracks. Beginning to ride again so hoping that I'll get back into it again someday. Welcome and looking forward to getting to know you.

I'm not sure how to respond to individual posts, so thanks to you all for the welcome. It feels great to find a group with such positive attitudes. I am looking forward to watching the ranks grow and succeed.

Oh I am too. I think this is GREAT, although I would rather be referred to as "Tech Sergeant" instead of Private First Class (since I am in the Air Force). LOL Just kidding, of course.. but I am happy to see this sort of group developing that can hopefully take the shows back to what they should be. It has become too political and it's a shame. It's intimidating to even think about going to a Class A show and I'm sure that's why MANY people don't show. I hope to see great success from this group.
