Those are good sensible goals to have:)

JMO, again:)

Foals can be feisty, real feisty. The thing that is so important, IMO, is to be honest about how much of a disciplinarian you are. Watch a mare with her foal, they are not gentle:) When a foal bites or kicks or gets to feisty mom will kick the snot out of it.

Now I am not advocating "beating" a foal. But if you are in the least bit timid about discipline you should NOT raise a foal. Too many bad habits can be started, and then the "average" horses owner can't handle them. Their whole life they will be prone to those bad habits. The right people will be able to handle it but a timid, or limited experienced horse owner, or a child, will not be able to deal with it, IMO, that is an average horse.

They type of horses people should strive to raise are horses that anyone can ride. IMO. That takes alot of experience to accomplish.

You watching the travel channel? Look at that cabin!

[CindyDawg]

Next week is my grandsons 6th birthday. We play checkers and I'm going to set up a table like that so we can have an ongoing game. He's getting that and a 100 dollar Walmart card. (that's what he wants:')

[CindyDawg]

You figure out the private mail? I haven't heard from you yet? Be careful what you post. Some kind soul though you were bothering me and has reported you.

[AnAmericanMother]

Well, actually it was a shotgun. But nobody ever caught whoever did it (there were WAY too many suspects.)

[CindyDawg]

CAV, turn your TV on. You have got to see these cabins

Well, actually it was a shotgun.

Yes, I did read that in my search. That site must have not liked me copying the picture. It's not on the thread anymore. Oh well. Interesting read.

[AnAmericanMother]

Well, gee, I'm a hunter. No surprises there!

[Inge_CAV]

Thanks! I feel fine, it is just that my feet that are causing problems now. Running errands is quite a hassle for the time being. Got my fingers crossed that improvement is around the corner. : )

[Inge_CAV]

LOL! Was not haunted, remember that a visiting priest had his own room there. I would have loved to have seen those walls restored. The house was built long after the Civil War was over so it was never a plantation manor.

[Inge_CAV]

I am a direct descendant of CW cavalry troopers. Both on my Father and my Mother's side. One rode with Inge's Cavaly and was captured just before the Battle of Atlanta. The other rode with Burtwell's Cavalry. It was fun to experience what it was like to ride the saddles they rode and to fire weapons like they carried into battles. No regrets at all. My reason for stopping was that it was taking a couple of weeks for me to recover after each three day weekend battle.

[Inge_CAV]

But I do not have the Travel Channel........ : (

[Rose of Sharn]

we have dish network, what channel is the travel channel?

[Inge_CAV]

"Oh yes, that would be very interesting to hear about. The old South, plantations, and the Civil War were always very interesting to me. Maybe, that was my former lifetime. On vacations to the South, touring the old mansions and battlefields, was great enjoyment."

The best way to see the old battlefields is on horseback. I have ridden over Shiloh with an expert guide several times. Also attended services at the church with our horses tied to nearby trees.

[Rose of Sharn]

Hi Cav, Hows things? Are you getting around any better?

[Inge_CAV]

Hi Rose, I am doing well but can't get my feet to catch up..... : )

[PayNoAttentionManBehindCurtain]

I don't know what I'm answering that comes up with these results but here they are:)

You scored as Hunter.

You are a hunter. You like jumping, but aren't as daring as a jumper. You prefer things to be controlled, and you are all about precision. Many people start out with hunters, maybe some moving on to jumpers,and some, like you, prefer the controlledness of hunters.

Hunter 92%

Trail/Pleasure 67%
