Is this the right place to start? I’ve been looking all around here and got tired of seeing myself as “anonymous,” so thought I’d take the plunge and introduce myself. I’m a ‘used to be’ rider from a loooooong time ago. I’ve been enjoying this board, especially the threads on old timers and vintage photos, of course. Hope there’s room for one more!

Thank you, thank you, everyone, for the nice welcomes! Realizing that many horses spook at donkeys, I'm glad to see that isn't the case with their owners. Don't know that I'll ever become a 're-rider' unless it's on a big donkey (we've got two of them, Dicey and Liebchen). My husband has started Dicey under saddle (a little bit of the blind leading the blind), but Dicey adores him and will do anything for him (or is it the pocketful of cookies he carries?). I did ride last fall at a donkey/mule show when a friend hurt her leg and insisted that I ride her donkey in a pleasure class, so I did. Western saddle and all (THAT was a first!) It was very strange to be ON a big donkey instead of leading a little one, but at least she didn't dump me.

I started on ponies, then junior hunters (even before they split into large and small divisions), hunt seat equitation. Seems so much has changed, but it HAS been 40 years, so what else could I expect? Maybe I can get my husband to hook up the scanner for some pictures.

Guido, Johnny, and Sparky...cover your ears! Can you hear us braying hello? We're glad to have other long-ears here for company...ahhh, we're not the only ones who make nice big rolling spots in our pasture! Sparky, you've perfected the "here I am, where's the treat" stance.

This is me (Dicey) and my person, Robert.

And here's my bratty little sister, Liebchen.

All of the long-ears posted are adorable. :wub:

I would dearly love to have a mini donk, they are so adorable. I can't imagine attempting to get on and ride Sparky, LOL! I'm afraid it would be a very short-lived but highly memorable occasion.
