Hello from Massachusetts
Permalink Closed


Hello All!

"....new to this forum and although I'm not very new to BarnMice, I recently found myself more active on the site!  I truly enjoy the articles and the photos and am also getting to know some very interesting people!

As I said in the subject line, I'm from Massachusetts (in beautiful New England) and we have experienced, bar none, one the most horrific winters in my life here on earth!  So, needless to say, it's nice to be on our way into the Spring season so that we can enjoy some really nice riding weather!

My horse, a Thoroughbred, is named Class Always Shows and his call name is Valie, he's a 16.1 hand Bay Gelding and he's a sweetheart, we are definitely a "team of two"!

And since I'm a 50-something woman that has "been there and done that", our life together is no longer about showing or eventing, it's about takin' it easy and doin' some low level Dressage and pleasure riding (although we have been known to enjoy jumping those natural obstacles when out on the trails!).  So, in essence, I have to say that we do our own kind of "combined training"!

Anyway, it's nice to be here and........I'm looking forward to reading the posts and hopefully adding a few myself!

Sincerely,

Cathy Ann & Valie

Welcome Cathy Ann,

Your horse is STUNNING!!! WOW!!!!! That face is gorgeous and kind. No wonder your blog is called Class Always Shows!!

Here is Toronto, winter wasn't too terrible, but there's one problem: it doesn't seem to be leaving!

Welcome to the forum! Your boy is absolutely stunning!

Here over in the Pacific Northwest (Oregon), we dodged everyone's nasty winter. Of course, it rains here 10 months of the year or so, so the additional rain wasn't anything new. A very peculiar high of 70F and sun today. I guess I have to get used to the idea that summer is just a month and a half-ish away!

:) Looking forward to your posts and welcome, again. Cheers!

Hey CA from MA : )  I am in Ma, too, south central, too.  Welcome! I am a 50+, non competing OTTB rider myself, got two of them and can't live without either one <3 : )

I ran out of sweep room this winter (yeah, on 10 acres!) and had to pay some good bucks to have the banks relocated on three seperate occasions tho I am so pleased that the mud that I thought would be here until August has already firmed up enough to get my haytruck in....yay!
