Hello everyone, I am the new horses site editor. I am very excited about my new position here at Bellaonline and am hoping to get this forum active. I encourage anyone interested in anything "horse" to post questions and ideas. Exploring topics together will help me direct my articles to those of you familiar with Bellaonline and will hopefully help draw some new folks in as well. Looking forward to hearing from you and in the meantime - see ya 'round the barnyard

Hello Susan and welcome to bellaOnline! Welcome to our writing family! I love to just watch horses move. They are beautiful, strong yet so graceful! My backyard backs up to cornfields, a farm and a stable. (our park district just bought the stable so that it would not disappear!) We can hear the clop of hooves and neighing as they play!

Thanks for the welcome. Horses are amazing creatures. They inspire and touch our souls even from afar. My favorite time in the barn is when the day is done, all are safe in their stalls munching happily on their dinner - peace and comfort. I am also developing a great love of tea - a coffee convert. Will be exploring your site very soon.

Thank you for being a tea convert, although sometimes I still get a hankering for a great cup of coffee too!

Our area that I live in was sucumbing to progress and a housing boon. I was so thankful that we are ahving a financial crisis just so that "progress" would stop. I am at the edge of farm/suburbia and I have greatly missed all of the peace, and wide open land. The horses are available to ride and be part of programs. Our family takes holiday pictures with the ponies!

Welcome Susan! I like all types of horses. However, I have a special fondness for paint horses.

Thanks for the welcome. Home finance - I really should be checking out your site. I also like colorful horses - have had appys myself and have a very pretty paint boarding with me right now. Do you ride?

Hi Susan, The articles you have written thus far are very interesting and have served up new ideas as well as great reminders. It is clear that you have a wealth of first hand knowledge and experience, I will look forward to reading more.... Welcome!! p.s. I like your style of writing..

Thanks bluesky - hope you check back frequently.

Hello and welcome Susan - I am a Sagittarius, so I am part horse myself - hahaha.

Grew up around horses, western horse shows, and still love them!

My totem animal for freedom.

Thanks for the welcome Robin. Since you seem knowledgeable about the cosmos I wonder if you know that this morning began the Age of Aquarius? I pledged to the universe to honor peace - to guide the planets and love to steer the stars - ah my age is showing. I have not explored my animal guides but think it should be an interesting experience - may just look into that this year. Thanks and look forward to exporing your site. Susan
