Hello everyone, I am new to this forum so I would like to introduce myself. I am from northern Ontario. I am a mother of beautiful baby girl and I have been riding for about 10 years now. I personally have one horse; Sheldon. He's my little "baby". He's a hanovarien, paint cross and i purchased him when he was barely 2 months old, he came home after being weaned at 6 months and has been living on the family farm ever since. This year has been a big year for us since he is now three years old and has been started under saddle this summer. My long term goal with him will be to turn him into a hunter/jumper horse. My fiancé owns Oliver, our Appy/shire cross. He stands at 17.3hh and well, he's just overall massive. He is trail ridden and would like to have him pulling consistently. He is 9 years old and just a dream to work with. Last but not least we also have Gracie, my daughters pony (I know, not even a year old and she already has a pony!). Gracie is quite small, not sure how many hands exactly, my guess would be 11hh and she is 10 years old. She is still very new to us so we still have a lot of getting to know her yet. Sheldon  Oliver   Gracie  So that's a bit about me, I'm excited to get to know all of you. |

Thanks everyone! I feel welcome! I was told this was a pretty drama free forum, which is really nice that I was able to join and yes Ollie is a giant, I call him a freak of nature LOL having his coat and his size is not very common, as specially in this area. |

I could feel my toes pull back in my shoes looking at Oliver. Oh My Goodness LOL He is HUGE!!! And such a cutie at the same time, look at that face, who couldn't love someone like that?! But then on the opposite end you have that little cutie patootie Gracie, spelled A-D-O-R-A-B-L-E! But Sheldon, what a beauty! You are truly blessed! WELCOME from Minnesota, so nice to have you here. We look forward to more pictures, thanks for finding us  |
