my introduction

VPS · May 9, 2006

I just wanted to say hello , I have been lurking for over 5 months but never joined... well I finially did and wanted to introduce myself to all the pony people

: my name is Kristine, I come from a saddleseat background, but when I was told i had hip spurs it got harder and harder to ride saddleseat for me. so i invested sometime looking for something with the same action and movement i was used to and found the modern shetlands a great horse to fill that void.

: I dont know at this point if i will go back to riding saddleseat but im really enjoying these great ponies! but once you have something stuck in your blood its hard to let it go

: I hope to meet more shetland owners and glad there is a place to post about the ponies! thanks for reading!

:saludando:

Kristine

The best of luck on your new venture. Oh, where are you located? Or did I overlook that? Ta, Shirlee

Welcome Kristine from the thumb area of Michigan. We have classic Shetlands that are ASPC/AMHR and miniature hoses and donkeys. :saludando:

Howdy Kristine! :saludando: Welcome to the greatest addiction in the world! You were warned about the 'potato chip effect' of Shetlands right?

Hubby and I raise Foundations in Idaho. Like you, we are 'downsizers' for physical reasons. They are great little characters.

We'd love to see pics of your ponies!
