Hi everyone,
I am a 56 year old woman who is in love with my horses. I have made several trips to Hermiston Or. to buy foals from 4months to 1 yr. I bring them home and break and train them. I've sold some of them. I never make any money, but I really love nurturing and training them. I have just lost the love of my life, Misty, who I owned for 20 years. She died Feb. 19 of this year at 30 years of age. I truely miss her very much. I also have a 4 year old who is doing very well. We are still working on the basics and doing great.
I have the post about her not taking the bit in training and behavior. Nice to see so many sharing their experiences..Looking forward to talking to you. Equis54

Welcome to the forum! Sounds like a neat set-up you have, giving babies a good start in life and training. I'm from the West Coast, have kids in Pony Club and am training my 2nd baby (Hanoverian/TB). We have 4 total. I have a 5 yr. old draft cross (PMU rescue), 18 hds and he has been a joy to train. Look forward to seeing pictures of your babies.

HI Dana, good to meet you and thanks for the nice welcome. I also live out west. (Southern Oregon) Having an 18 hand horse must be challanging in a lot of respects. Have you had him since he was a baby?
I have heard they are gentle giants. I pass a field every morning going to work and there is a new draft
baby with its mom. He's really beautiful. Well I don't know about the pictures as I don't know how to do that. Maybe someone will tell me how, someday.How old is the baby your training. I have trained several so if you need any help, I will be glad to share what I know. Well enjoy life and be safe..Diannia
