Hi all,
I am finally doing this after lurking for a while. I just bought my first directly off the track tb a couple of weeks ago, so I have really appreciated reading the tips (training, buying, etc). I guess that I should add that things are going really well with her.

Hi, I'm Michelle, 38 and live in NH for now with Hubby, 2 dogs (Black Lab and Boxer Mix), and one horse22-23 Yr old Appendix QH Gelding). I ride for pleasure and love to trail ride, just switched to Western in 2007 after riding English my whole life. We are moving to West Virginia later this year, though I am having a tough time finding a boarding stable for Red. So, the location that we are moving to may change if I can't find boarding that is safe and nice. I was referred to the board by my Admin on another Pro-Board.

Looking forward to hopefully hearing from some West Virginia People.

Hi All,
I arrived on Exracers in Jan, when a 7y/o OTTB, Mr. Paygo, came into my life. I've been spending lots of time with him and it's taken me until now to do an intro.
I've been married to a great "computer" guy for 25yrs. We have 2 teen sons and live in a horse community. In addition to Paygo, we have a Morgan, a roan pony, 2 dogs and a few barn cats.

While, I've spent my life with horses, there are no real TB Race Tracks in NC and I never thought to go to a race in another State. I want to give Mr. Paygo the best care possible-as with all my animals- therefore I'm trying to educate myself on the life he lead on the track. It's turned into a fantastic study and I'm amazed at the level documentation the Jockey's Club keeps on the breed.
Exracers also needs to be commended for being a source of support and a bridge that connects folks like myself with a better understanding of the TB Racing Industry.
Cheers,
ERider

Hello,
My name is Holly,
I am married and have two children (15 and 6)I work in Ohio at a TB race track. I rode Hunter Jumpers from 5years old-17yrs old and showed quite competitavely. Than nothing until I bought myself a QuarterHorse for my 40th birthday.My Daughter has an old Quarterhorse as well. We enjoy trail riding. Since then We have bought a 30 acre farm that needs tons of work:-) rescued 3 cats from the track, 2 mixed labs from local rescues. And now 2months ago, the love of my life... Major. He raced at Beulah, he is 8 years old. Just looking for some people who are as crazy about their animals as I am...looks like I found the right spot!
They are tired of hearing about them in the office :-)

Hello

My name is Gretchen. I am 16 and will be a junior in high school. I lease a thoroughbred, Bub, whom i use to show in 4-H in most English style classes and lots of jumping classes. I also have a 3 year old boxer, Tonka, and a 15 year old cat, Rascal. Other things I enjoy besides horses(about 90% of my free time) are fashion, traveling, listening to music, reading, sometimes making art, and spending time with my friends and family. I joined this forum because i have a thoroughbred and would like find ways to learn more about his past-he has a lip tattoo i just need to figure out if i am willing to suck it up and pay the jockey club for the info- and also to be able to share and learn about all of our horses/training/showing.

I can't wait to get to know y'all.

Hi, Gretchen!! You'll be so impressed with and thankful for everyone's knowledge here! I know I am!!! We want pics of Bub if you have any!!! (And I'll personally request one of Tonka....I'm just in LOVE with Boxers!!! Mine passed 2 years ago, and I'm ready for another one finally.) Welcome!!!!

Hi, I'm Jessica and I'm from NC. I'm 29 years old, married, and we are expecting our first baby around June 18. I am a fifth grade teacher and am also finishing up coursework towards a doctorate in educ. psychology. I've grown up around horses, though I started out riding quarter horses. My mom had an OTTB mare for many years and she was very high strung and when I was a kid I thought I'd never want to deal with that hot of a horse, hehehe. Fast forward many years later and I got my first TB three years ago. He's a rescue, but didn't race, and he really enjoys going out for leisurely trail rides, but also likes to strut his stuff in local shows. Last summer, I decided to rescue another TB, one that was just off the track. I had him shipped to me from Indiana and have been in love since he got to our farm. He is simply a delightful horse with the best personality I have ever known. I was so excited when I found this forum...there seems to be a ton of great information on here!
