I like it.. I am originally from here also.  My first Appy I owned is 
when I originally lived here.  I might be visiting my gelding next week 
back here for the weekend.  My first Appy was a spotted leopard Mare 
who had to be put down due to Navicular disease.  As only 14 years old, 
I was very devistated!!!!  I told myself that I wanted some day to get 
another mare.  Well, the only breed that I have ever owned is an 
Appaloosa.
 
If I can get back to the midwest next week, I am hoping to see my mare 
that I sold to my friend that is in foal to a quarter horse stud that 
passed away in August.
 
My gelding that is out of that mare looked just like her when he was 
born (Bay with a white blanket) had changed a lot, color wise).  He is 
still out in the midwest and I plan to bring him out here this spring.  
Do you know of any good Horse Transporters??
 
Hope to here from you....
