I am from Latvia, and my horse is kind of a mixed blood Latvian Warmblood gelding, currently four years of age (and a half). I started riding when I was quite small, but not very seriously. Always dreamed of a horse, but never though I could really have one. And then, on my 16th birthday I got the best present ever - a nice, kind of rideable, darker chestnut mare. Happy was the summer I spent training with her over jumps, and riding in the woods and then... either something in her not-so-very-happy ...

I have three 'Grand Turk' ponies - all rescues. The Grand Turk Pony is result of horses being left behind (and set free) when the salt industry collapsed in the 1880's. Over the past hundred or so years inbreeding has caused them to shrink to large ponies, but the harsh desert like climate and little grazing has created a tough easy keeper. Currently the numbers are declining as what little natural vegetation there is has ...
