So happy for you that you have discovered the world of horses. They have always been my first love. Didn't take my first riding lesson until age 33, bought my first horse at age 39 (Dusty-he's my avatar picture). Sadly, I lost Dusty this past May. He was 28, we had 12 wonderful years together, and of course, I hope to eventually get another horse. Until then, I dream of when I can ride again.
