Hi everyone.

I heard about this method while searching for ways to help one of my boys. So i thought i would have a look, and pray that it will end up over here.

So I reside in Western Australia (im originally from england-called exeter my home) I have two (soon to be three) gorgeous boys.

Sarnia Skipper-16hh wild bay, 15 yo Standardbred gelding
Maka Million Lombo-16.1hh wild bay, 7 yo Standardbred gelding

and my soon to be boy (as in this sunday)
DP Toy Soldier-29inch, palomino, 1 yo Miniature Horse gelding.

Ok my question, the full membership i would assume is for UK residents only, so what kind of thing could I go for? Oh and also wondering if anybody can help my find a relative of mine, who I assume is still somewhat active in the UK horse world.

Welcome to EE - I believe the full membership option is for everyone now and gives you access to the EE Society Area including the blogs Smiley

Haha

Im from Western Australia, so nowhere near the cyclone. From the news that we are getting over here, there is extensive damage, but no fatalities (YAY) because there was sufficient warnings.

QLD lost its sugarcane crops and the banana crop.So we are gonna have banana prices at $20 per kilo, so about $10 pound for 2 pounds.

We were having fires where we are, all deliberately lit too. Pics of the horses I am guessing, I will put them up later, I dont have any of the mini gelding yet as i dont pick him up until tomorrow.

Hi there,

EE is international, we have members all over the world, and have a representative in Australia, Paul Cairns who teaches pretty much all over Oz and runs courses at his home near Sydney- he even has one of our simulators! He has his own website www.enlightenedequitation.com.au. Paul is also uor saddle distributor for Australia. I was over there in 2006 to take a seminar at Sydney Olympic Centre.

But if you are ever 'home', Exeter is 25 miles from me, and you would be very welcome to come and visit! thumbs

Thankyou Heather, I shall look Paul up, he might be able to work out why one of the STB's acts up most of the time.

Speaking of which

Sarnia Skipper (with my partner holding him) please excuse no topline, this fella is extremely hard to work at the moment, so finding it hard to get a topline on him.

Maka Million Lombo (again with the partner holding him)

Hi Jane,

Sorry I missed you on fb chat last night! I'm sure Paul would love to help you with your horses- he is well used to ex racehorses with shark fin withers and no topline, and will not be fazed at all by your boy, who is in lovely condition, even if he hasn't a great topline- yet!

Welcome

I live in Devon too, so who's the relative? I have a nephew the other end of Oz to you, in Cairns, he's missed the bad weather though - on holiday in Tailand. Love your SB's are they trotters or pacers? Looking forward to pictures of your Mini, I have 4 mini Shetlands.
