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

Hi all from tropical sunny Maui!

Just popping in to say hi and catch up.

Stan- I'm sorry that Kate is going, sounds like she who must is preparing for a new horse though with the trailer shopping?

Corgi- worrying for you and scuffy...any update?

Going horseback riding tomorrow to see sugar cane and pineapple platations. My 11 yr old is so excited to go with me so that his riding lessons last summer can be put to use. Missing my girl so much need a horse fix ASAP! Bird and whale watching has been Incredible though...you can hear the humpbacks singing when you are out snorkeling!

Wow...thank you so much for your concern everyone. It really means a lot and is a ray of sunshine coming through this really crappy week! I am sorry I haven't given an update. In addition to this, I had minor foot surgery today. When it rains, it pours.

Vet came out and tubed him today. He said there was no impaction. He doesn't know why he isn't pooping or drinking. He won't eat his grain but he will graze if we put him on a lead and walk him. Vet is perplexed. He is hoping that the tubing will jumpstart his digestive system. So now it is watch and wait. He doesn't act like he is in pain. He is acting normal. He was started on a different feed about 3 months ago and we are wondering if that has something to do with it. It has flax seed in it, I think. (Some sort of seed anyway)

And yes, Hunter is correct. His name is Scuffy. He came with that name and we don't know the story behind it but it fits him. I always said if he was human, he would be Jeff Spicoli from Fast Times at Ridgemont High. He is such a fun horse.

So, the immediate danger is gone but now we need to pray his digestive tract gets back on track! :)

Thanks again for the concern. You all are the best!

I feel like I am stalking this thread..... I really hope no news is good news
You are not stalking the thread any input its what makes it a success. As we are over 40 we are allowed to ramble and be concerned for others.

I measured the trailer Roslyn has her sights set on, its a little biger than the one we have but very well built. Welsh design and built No chinese parts. So it goes to show, if a manufacture can get there act together they can produce a quality product at a price we can afford and keep their own people working, rather than getting it made in china to keep the price down. I don't think its keeping the price down, but how much profit they can make.

Pinkpony555.I'm sorry, but we have a very strict entry code to this thread.

You have to be interested in horses but be able to not always talk about the horse.
And the final is be over 40.

If you dont qualify I would not lose any sleep over it.

Are you over 40, go on disclose your age to the world:shock:

While those i the northern part of the world are feeling the cold and looking forward to spring we in the southern part are experiencing hot, dry, sunny weather. It is so hot and dry the grass has gone. I have never seen my land this dry. No more feed for the horses I am feeding hay and hard tack morning and night. Great weather for riding but at my place its to hot. If a breeze would develop and move the air around it would be plesent. But no wind at all.

So we look forward to rain, if it ever gets here, we have had one day since christmas day. Two horse that need to be ridden and now my excuse is its to Hot.

I surpose I could put a couple of head lights on her chest and tail lights on her rump and ride in the evening when its cooled down a little. After that bit of rubbish I deserve a cold beer.

There are a few that post on this thread that are under forty. There are a few of us who hope that the others think that we are under forty. Few of us, after the age of forty, really have a lot of stalkers. Having our own stalkers makes us think people think we are sexy. They may, however, just be senile.

celeste. really.i know its shocking.but yes.i am over fourty. lol. hey everyone. yes this is the best thread hands down. not cause most are over fourty.or know more about horses. or are wittier. smarter.funnier. i kinda think its cause we honestly have a connection. emotionally. very heart felt. its called horses. and any time you start sharing about your horses. your heart opens up by thinking of them. you start feeling those deep inner feelings that only horses bring out of people. and do to the fact we are here.sharing. talking. feeling together. how could you not feel deeply for every one on this thread. i havent been on very much lately. broken down computer. finally warm enough to actually be out doing things. like fencing. seems my herd loves watching me fence. cause they sure tear them down fast. but when i do get online. for any reason.i make a pass through horse forum for over fourty. so hi to everyone. i do actually miss keeping track of you all. so many of you always make me smile. so ride safe everyone. keep smiling. happy trails. :hug:
