Hi Lisa,
Welcome to the forum, we're glad to see you here. There doesn't seem to be any shortage of opinions about, or love for horses, but everyone loves seeing new users and posts. So don't be shy, just jump right in!
I am a rookie when it comes to horses, when I got married, my wife and the horses were a package deal! But she's been very patient with me and I'm finally starting to get the hang of it after 3 years. This summer I even started my first colt and he's coming along GREAT - I think it's more due to his laid-back nature than my training techniques!
Looking forward to hearing from you often
