Hello! I am new here. I'm from Canada!! I am a mommy of two piggies-- Sadie and Kiwi. Sadie is a long-haired, pleasantly plump chestnut (Orange) and Kiwi is a slim, short-haired black and white with one chestnut strip between the black and the white just on her hind end. I love them to bits! I got them at the SPCA (Humane Society) back in April of this year, and they were 2 and a half years old (what they said, anyways). Before these guys I had 2 hamsters at different times. In my family, we have: 2 dogs (Maltese, Black lab), 1 bird( we used to have 2 budgies but one passes ~1 1/2 months ago), 1 cat (A black one and a 22 year old tabby-- but the tabby passed yesterday), 2 guineas, and 1 chestnut mare. We also have a habit of feeding peanuts to ~20 squirrels and 1 or 2 blue jays. ....We're not crazy at all, I swear... I'm glad to join this community.

We are okay, thank you though. I have checked all these out and will use them when the time is right! I love my little ladies-- but don't we all?

Welcome! Fellow horse owner here. I have 2 chestnuts. 1 old mare and 1 old gelding. I think I have a thing for chestnuts, but I have a soft spot for paints. What riding discipline do you do with your horse? If you have any cavy questions we'd be happy to answer. Also, be sure to use the search bar in the top right corner; mainly times your question is a very popular question.

Thanks. Our chestnut Darling is the likes of a schoolie-- basic commands, no specializations. Our family has not been riding forever, so she is perfect for us. My sister taught her to jump at age 14 this past summer. How about you?
