I too am new, I discovered this yesterday. I love forum boards and have at least 4 (now 5) I frequent.
My children all have 4 legs and a tail! My girls are Maxine a 9 1/2 yr old Golden and Belle a 3 1/2 yr old Blk Lab. Maxine is my angel! She is my world, she is smart, obedient and SO ENERGETIC. I wish I had her energy. Most people who know her cannot believe she will be 10 this year. She also had TPLO surgery a year ago, and had a full recovery. She is often mistaken for a 2 yr old. Belle is a HUGE sweet loving lab. She is at least 27" at the shoulder and approximately 100lbs. She does have about 5 lbs to lose. We love to take her for runs (I ride my bike), and long walks. She has competed in dock jumping (actually both dogs have) and she is trained in obedience and agility too.
My boys are my horses. Sayler is a semi-retired (TB) show horse. He really has done everything, point to point, eventing, parades but mostly he showed as a hunter/jumper and with ALOT of successes. I have had him for 7 going on 8 years, he is now 21 but still sound enough to ride and jump smaller fences. I can't show him any more, no divisions for us, but he could teach someone alot there just isn't any one looking in my area. So he spends alot of time in the field. I ride him at least 2 times a week. Pete is also a TB, he is 12 in 2006. I have had him for about 4 yrs. We used to show in the adult jumper division. He was supposed to be my low amateur horse but alas the finances required me to retire from showing and Petie has been for sale. My trainer has not pushed selling him (she hates to let the good ones go) but now we are trying to get on track.
So I wanted to introduce myself. I look forward to making many friend on this board!
