I'm definitely not a lurker as I talk far too much to ever sit on my hands  . You don't have to show or race or breed to contribute, hey I don't do any of the above! I do love Arabs though and have done since I was knee high to a grasshopper and I think that is the common denominator here. I think that there are far more posters with just one or two horses as opposed to big studs with dozens of them and many of us are just happy hackers or go to the odd show. I've got quite a few 'horsey' friends but only one of them is into Arabs so it is lovely to come on here and share photos etc. Ah now photos, that's a great way to break the ice and start a thread . Doesn't even have to be horses ~ there is a strange member of Arabianlines who recently posted pictures of a garden belonging to the friend of a friend who she had never even met before last Wednesday .....!

Erm, hi everyone *big wave*. I've been visiting this site for 3 years and have managed a grand total of 6 posts!! Suppose that makes me a lurker extraordinaire! Then a couple of weeks ago my good friend GeorgiaUK put a post up following the death of my wonderful horse, and I was touched by your responses and surprised by how much the sympathy and best wishes of total strangers helped.
So, I am off now to the main forum to make some small contributions and I will be in double figures before bedtime! See - I'm up to 7 already!!

Three years ago when horse hunting I bought an Arab, not what I went out to buy but.......and then I found this site when hunting for bloodline information.
Took me two years of lurking to finally get up the nerve to press submit reply and though I don't post a lot I always come on here everyday.
I suspect that there are a lot of people who lurk as it takes a bit of nerve to 'come out' but time and again people on here provide help and support and when you seem to be the only arab owner in the area it's nice to be able to 'talk' arab with other people afflicted with arabitus. I shall contine to lurk with the odd occasional post for a long time I hope.
Having said all that I'm now going to retreat to my corner again.........

Hi Amy, lovely photo I like you 'pony'
I would like to say to ALL those who lurk, when I first came on here it took ages for me to post much, it always seems as if you are intruding and that everyone knows each other, WRONG, most of us have never met, but if you just start to join in we'd love to hear from you always nice to have new people to talk to the more you post, the easier it is and the more we get to know you all
So come on in, I double dare you |

Ok I admit he's not really a pony! Had him since he was 2 (and I was 11) that pic is bit old really, now he has his long feathers and a mane! But no one has told him he isen't an arab, so if everyone could just pretend that would be great! hehe.
I completely agree about the posting, always does feel like you are butting in on someones conversation! |

That's us the point Amy, you may FEEL that you are butting in, but I'm sure that most of us think 'Oh great - other person to talk too'
I found it hard to start with, but now you can't shut me up |

Hello Air Dragon, I'm sorry I managed to miss the post about Sultan. What a terribly sad time for you, I can really sympathise having lost my dear, best friend this year. I hope the new chum is settling in well and you are starting to feel a teeny bit better...it takes ages but it does happen.
I had never visited (or heard of) the site until Roseanne kindly posted an obit. for me. The response was tremendous and the support and kindness of so many strangers was absolutely staggering. It helped to make me feel so much better. Now I visit often and post (usually a load of rubbish) regularly..and it doesn't hurt at all. Most of the folk on here seem to be quite mad so it doesn't matter anyway... |

| Thanks for the welcome vjc and krb. Kim - I must have had a few days off from lurking in March as I hadn't seen the post about Hassan. I've just searched it - and wow, what a horse! So sorry for your loss. Like me you have years and years of great memories to look back on. We were both very lucky. I know it will start to get easier soon - it just hasn't yet! Linda |
