Title: New Member of the family!
Post by: Maddysmom on May 30, 2012, 06:17:25 AM

Hey Everybody, I know I haven't been online much lately, but we have been SO BUSY!  We have been trying to get our fence ready and finally yesterday.....WE GOT A HORSE!!   I think I am more excited than our daughter.  Thanks to FTS, for the first time in YEARS I was able to ride!  I feel like a little girl with a birthday pony!  ha ha  His name is "Hunter" and he is an 11 year old Tennessee Walker... (but he's never been mistreated like the ones you see in the news.)  He's just an awesome trail horse with some cool gaits!   (I tried to attach a picture my brother took with his phone.)

Jan I'm incredibly happy for you! After all these years you've taken full control. Over 100 pounds gone forever, 113 according to your ticker...Now here you are "Hi O Silver...Away!!!" This reminds me of when Sherri Pie was able to ride a roller coaster for the first time in years.

I LOVE the video Doug!!! :D  :D   I was SO nervous to get on, but just a few steps and it was like riding a bike!  We are already thinking about adding a 2nd horse so I can go on trail rides with my daughter.  I never thought I would EVER get to do this again!   Thanks again FTS!!!  ;D

Horses are blessings from God to man.
They are not only good transportation... They are family members, too! :)

Very nice! I love horses and I grew up on a horse farm. I now live in the city and that's the only thing I miss...horses! I was also wondering how do you get those tickers? I'd love to have one of those on my profile.

Here's the link to the instructions for setting up a ticker.   It takes a little patience but let us know if it doesn't work for you.
