BRIT LIVING IN THE USA.

[lcperfmhorses06]

Hi guys, my name is Sharon, Im the proud owner of five soon to be seven horses and live in Tennessee USA.
I am an intermediete instructor, equine vet tech, nutritionist and stud manager, soon to be a farrier.
My horses are my life along with my husband, dog, ferrets and cats.
Horses I have are; Revenge 16h leopard spot appaloosa gelding rising 9. Baroka 16.2h american warmblood (tb x appaloosa) whose dam is half sister to seabiscuit, and she is g.grandaughter to man o war, she is due to foal may 10th, she is rising 4. Amira 15.2h bay anglo arab rising 5 year old mare due to foal april 25th. Bam Bam 18 month old buckskin colt to make 16.2 + tennessee walking horse x quarter horse. Mikey 15.3 rising four quarter horse stallion son of Sonny Dee Bar 3x world champ. I cannot wait for my babies to be born, both are Mikeys foals, his first foals, and its so exciting. I have just restarted breeding after a couple of years break, just riding and giving lessons.
I hate western riding, love to jump, play polo, x country and ridden & in hand showing.
Horses are my life, and always will be, i got my first pony at two and have had them ever since, i occassionally rescue horses, me and my husband are going to restart around sept 06 because that is when people dont want their loyal horse anymore and put them through the auction destined for meat, if we can rescue two or three a month then we have made a start on giving them another chance.
My husband is a fire fighter, he was us army and has just started to learn to ride, mainly wanting to find out what all the fuss is about and why i love it so much. took him on his first hack yesterday, 31/2 hour and today is walking like john wayne with hemorrhoids!
Well, thats a bit about me, so will just keep on reading you guys stuff. Love to hear from some brits.
Sharon.

What is an equine vet tech? I've just seen that twice on here today, but never come across it. My vet doesn't have one!

Wow, that'll keep you busy then!

You will find we come from all walks of life on this board, but are generally an open minded and friendly bunch:-) I just have the one pictured below and looking a different colour at the moment due to heavy clay mud and no rug on:-(

Thanks for the reply guys. Equine vet tech is a surgical tech and we are taught more indepth than an assistant, we can give injections, write perscriptions and do small surgeries unsupervised. We are able to give some clinical diagnosis but not as much as the vet, we are I suppose you could call it a vets handy person to save them doing all the calls.
Yeah sure does keep me busy.
Got to go to the barn and do my beasties.
Speak later
Sharon ;D
