I thought I would start a new thread for people over 40
who love horses.
This thread is open to owners leasers an people who
love horses

I will start I am 48 years old and I never yet owned a horse
mainly because of finances.
I have been around horses most of my life. I have ridden
all kinds of horses first ponies then horses
I have ridden Arab, Quarter Horses, Morgans, Appendix Quarter horses.
Thoroughbreds, Appaloosas, American Saddlebreds and Paints and lots of mixed breeds too and all sizes 14hh-17hh
I have ridden both English and western
here is are pictures of me riding my friends Pinto 14hh
and my friends Half Arab

My husband knows how much I would love my own horse so in the spring we are looking in to leasing a horse

Needing help here. We lost our Arab mare last night to colic. The whole family is devastated.
My problem is my other mare is alone now. We have a goat and sheep she rooms with. Is that enough? Should I board her? I can't get another horse. I've lost 3 and I don't have the strength right now.
I'm very sorry for your loss, but, this isn't an appropriate thread for your questions. look on HorseForum, there are many threads where you can repost.

How about 40s back at the dinner table. Lol
:DI was thinking this morning, perhaps a nice long picnic table with benches!! (Under a spreading tree, of course, with friend's horses out & about being a herd...back 40, after all, lol).

I just had a thought ("uh, oh, she's thinking again..."), wondering about a private, members only thread (like the Saloon [which never has much action, but that was the only reference I could think of). I have no idea how to do that:icon_rolleyes:

I just read previous comments. I have a hard time to follow the new 40 as well. But I suspect a new thread will have the same effect. Same thing happening on the 50+ by the way. There is a welcoming non-judgemental easy-going feeling at our picnic table; I think we are talkative ourselves and we attract talkative people. It's both a fun quality and a curse. :D

Well, it would be very nice if we could figure out something. I know that another forum I was on ended up having a small select group start their own private group on book of faces. I'm really not mean and anti social, I just miss having the dinner table banter we used to have.

In the meantime, I may be off line for awhile. I think I've picked up a malware or a virus of some kind. I'm off work at noon today and will be taking my laptop to the Apple fixit place in Sedona. They can probably fix it in no time flat, but the drive up there and back needs to be planned.

Looking forward to checking back in when it's fixed.

Have a wonderful day!

Exactly, Blue. I was thinking it might sound exclusionary, but...it kinda is, but it's not to be mean. I too miss the "dinner table banter" among the old friends...hence the private club idea. That old dining room table was never very large, maybe the idea is to "move it out of storage", back into that old house.

(And it's not to confuse all of the new people on 40+, Eole; they've got a fine, active thread going & no reason for them to switch).

Interested to hear what Nicker is working on...

Blue, hope you feel better soon & get your laptop up & running again.

Don't know if I am bothering folks with chicken talk. Sorry if I was.
Posted via Mobile Device
Oh, no, AnitaAnne...your chickens & others' chickens & a large variety of topics on 40+ is...what that thread IS, & it's just fine.

I was leery of just this, someone getting hurt feelings. The thinking out loud here from a very few of us is totally concerning something else. NOTHING PERSONAL. And nothing "wrong". Not explaining very well.

Maybe Blue & Nicker can explain it better than I can.

Our new friends on 40+ will all get confused. They don't know we lost our post. This is funny. I know it's the very same, but I'm somehow happy to find this old place. Like moving back into an old home. With memories of old friends who are gone.
Just a bit confusing :wink:
But this is actually the thread that roped me in here at HF.

So I was stalking you guys loooong before I introduced myself :oops:
