[RC] Welcome Jackie from Alaska - Jonni

This time of year is tough on some of the horse lists, as folks get cabin
fever when they can't get out and ride due to bad weather etc. As the ride
season gets going, usually, things get back to learning and sharing more,
and squabbling less. Some will still squabble, but as they say, we can't
always pick our relatives, or those on Ridecamp...and not everyone will
always get along <wink>

I'd actually be curious as to your riding season, riding conditions etc. in
Alaska. I know they have a couple NATRC competitive rides there each year.
Are most horses bred and raised there, or do folks buy them elsewhere, and
ship them in. And personally, I'd also be curious as to the show circuit
too, and how many shows they have. I guess that even though you are not
disconnected and surrounded by water like Hawaii, I don't think of the horse
industry as being very big there, and not a lot of competitions. That and
since I have yet to visit, I picture it very wet or cold most of the year.

So, welcome to Ridecamp, and don't leave. Scan the messages, and you will
find good information there. Also, don't be afraid to ask a question. Just
pass on asking about competing barefoot until next January <wink>

Jonni
