- Ok heres mine: Hello my name is Cece Osborn. I am 32 and live in Las
- Cruces, NM and work for the Physical Science Lab at NMSU. I receive
- this newsgroup through usenet.
-
- I have been riding over 20 years and a horse owner for 14. I have had
- lots of horses, good, bad, big, small registered and grade. I have
- saddled the best and attempted to ride the rest, so to speak. High point
- of my horse involvement was High Point Yearling Halter Mare in 1989. I
- have shown on and off for 10 years.
-
- I ride mostly western and am interested mainly in reining and cutting. I
- have taken two semesters of english eq on campus here with a great instructor
- Chris Halacker, but do not think that I will pursue english much.
-
- I fractured my pelvis in a bucking match, that I lost, with a spoiled mare
- 3 1/2 years ago and it left me pretty fearful. It is amazing what a fear of
- not "walking away" the next time and do to you.
-
- Presently I have 2 horses. One is Bearly Designed, a yearling red roan overo
- gelding APHA registered. He is 95% white with blue eyes. He placed 5th at
- the NM Breeders Futurity last fall. This year I am going to attempt the
- local halter shows and at least one breed halter class with him. (He
- doesn't know this yet). I bred his mom and have owned him since birth.
- My other horse is a quarter horse that wanted to be a paint. He is a 9yr old
- 15 hand chestnut with high white stockings and a big blaze. He is a APHA
- registered gelding named Mr. Incognito Q (Mickey). He is a pretty lazy boy
- with only 3 consistent months of riding in his life. He had never loped with
- a rider until he was 6 years old. He was mostly used for the occasional
- trail ride and suffers from a bad case of kiditis, doing what he wants when
- he wants, (a kid had him). My friends tell me that he would make a nice
- hunter, but for now we have enough problems just getting our cues right
- without trying for a specific event. I would like to show him in western
- events, but maybe we will try showmanship at halter first.
-
- Most days I wish I did not have the horses, especially when its rainy or
- I am feeling poor. But I guess that is how it goes, at this point in time.
-
- I am married to a non horse husband who does not support my habit. He has
- 2 cats and a motorcycle. I have 2 Austrailian Shepherds, Ian blue merle
- 5 yrs, and Brie red merle 4 years. Ian is my riding buddy and chief "turn
- out" the horses dog. I board my horses. I did the usual kid horse
- activities that others have mentioned Breyers, books and riding lessons,
- (Western).
-
- This is a fantastic idea and a great way to find out about our posters.
- I post some, but read everything. The group has given me alot of new
- ideas and new methods to work out problems. Its great!!
