- Well I finally have a minute & people are still posting this
- thread so I guess it is my turn:
-
- My name is Amy Lehman. I will be 26 in March and I work at
- Mead Data Central as a Software Engineer in Dayton, OH.
-
- Without this newsgroup, I would not currently own my gelding,
- Beau! I read this group Monday-Friday faithfully. I have been
- reading for about two years. I don't post very often because
- I am still a novice when it comes to horsey care. I saw Sue
- Bishop's name in the listing one day. Her posting address
- is from Wright State university. I graduated from WSU and
- I do not live very far from it. After seeing postings from
- California, UK, Canada, etc., I was very exited to see a posting
- so close to home. So I sent her an email to say "Hello".
- One thing lead to another and now we are very good friends.
- She helped me buy Beau from Ricarda, another newsgroup participant!
-
- Anyway, I have been Horse Crazy my entire life. My room was
- PLASTERED with horse pictures, wallpaper, bedspread, ... well you
- get the picture. My riding experience as a child comprised of
- 2 weeks each summer at Girl Scout camp. I'd get to ride
- about 6 hours a day and we learned a lot about grooming, tack,
- etc. My training consisted completely of western and bareback.
- Living in the suburbs I did not know anyone who owned
- horses so I had to be content with camp.
-
- When I was old enough to buy my own horse there were a lot of
- things holdings me back. The main thing was that I did not have
- a mentor to help me through daily horse care problems. I didn't
- even have someone to show me where to look to buy a horse. I
- didn't want to subject a defenseless horse to my ignorance. :-)
- When Sue offered to board Beau if I bought him, it made a perfect
- match. Sue got a horse for her 4H kids and I got a horse I
- could afford to keep and someone to show me the ropes! Sue has
- been teaching me to ride English. I hope to jump into one or
- two of the open class events at her 4H shows this summer!
