Where Have All the Members Gone?

Message 6 of 744

Several years ago, when I first started reading this website, there seemed to be a lot of people participating. Where has everyone gone? I loved reading their stories and getting advice for solutions or problems with my horses. It really saddens me to see that there doesn't seem to be as much interest. Very few of us are posting pics, just saying hello, writing reports or stores. For everyone out there that does read eons - horse lovers from time to time, I really hope you will more actively participate. During this down economy, there are a lot of challenges for horse owners. Many horses themselves are endangered, facing starvation, abuse, and slaughter. It's important for all of us to help, be aware, and participate to not only keep our own horses healthy and happy, but to be a part of the horse world.

Also, there has been such good advice coming from those who participate on this website as well as support and information. Please, please keep it up!!! One member's spider bite solution helped me tremendously. My old mare, Maia was literally saved because of this!

Rally horse lovers! Keep participating on this site!

I too, have noticed a downturn in membership activity. Come on...surely you all have horse stories to tell! This is one of few sites that I check daily. I haven't had any issues with my horses lately, but I'm sure we have some stories to share!

Haven't had much time to spend on the computer lately. Been busy trying to find a job in this jobless market.

Did get the results from the last dex test for my mare's cushings disease and we finally have it under control. She looks much better now. Still have to watch her to make sure no absesses show up in her feet but she is back to running again. (Especially when you call her in to feed.) So no more tests now until April. Maybe I can get my vet bill paid down a little before then.
