Hi - I'm a new Berner owner, having recently had the good fortune of adding a lovely little girl to my family. Tess is now 4 1/2 months old and is a real treat to be around. I'm learning a lot from my daily Berner-L fix; very useful information!
I'm also very much a horse person - I have a beautiful Selle Francais mare named Jewel and I ride primarily dressage. Despite the Ottawa winters, we ride pretty much year round (with the help of an arena), although once it hits -30C with the windchill, even the arena doesn't afford much protection. I am no longer young and foolish, and on those days, I admit defeat and stay home. Just a comment - I started back riding after a 10 year break AFTER I got married - husbands and horses aren't mutually exclusive. Just don't ever let the husband see the board/vet/farrier/tack bills!

I occasionally remind my husband that I'm still not quite sure about that trade. Ü Carol Lingley Ijamsville, MD
