You are 100% right on that he needs to slim down:), It's just so hard to do for me. The minute I make a tiny bit of progress, I panic and think he is going to turn in to a skeleton:)... I was like almost every other beginner horse owner way back when. It took some time to learn how to feed them properly and we went thru a period of having to skinny of horses. Now that I know what a horse needs, I tend to start worrying when they drop weight, even if they NEED to do it...LOL...I drive my self insane. I hate being a worry wart, but I can't stop. Poor Harley's flaw is ME:)

Well, I've been going thru the different horses trying to give my opinion. If I can give both good and critical, then I do it. But there is one over there, I think the title is "appendix mare" Lord, I can't find one redeeming quality on that horse other then it's a horse and sounds like a good one as far as riding which is the important thing. But the owner said to be gentle or something, so I passed it.
Then that fire1 lady posted some nice things about Harley, so I looked at her horses, and have to pass on comments too. Their OK horses, but they need some groceries...but that could just be me too.
Becky
Great:)

I sortof felt the same way about the TWH I commented on... but after I yelled at him about posting a bunch of links instead of pictures, I felt I had to comment once he fixed it.
The tractor won't start, so I did some baja'ing back to the barn with my truck. It was just so hard walking through all that snow, plus I bought 400# of feed today and was not going to tote it back there. Poor truck is a mess now from driving on the salt covered roads. At least they are clear.
:) Didn't like the bugs and the humidity. Didn't like the fact that I couldn't see 100 miles.
Sorry, forgot. The forum at horse.com. http://forum.horse.com/
I have a real problem with that too since I'm used to my horses at halter weight and that's really too heavy for much else.
:) Looks like at least he likes the snow.
Oh my...look at all that snow:)
Whew, glad it's up there and not here.

We just had a few pitiful flakes here yesterday -- not even enough to make the dogs look up and wonder where it was coming from. The little tiny crystals looked like sparkles in Ruby's black fur, but they were too small to get a good picture of!
For what I need right now, the 2h BP models would suit me. My old 2h is eating tires like there's no tomorrow. I really like the "Bumper Sport" and the "Townsman" since I don't really camp or anything. They didn't have many pictures of the Townsman so I'd like to see a few more of it, like looking in the back with the doors open, looking in the escape door, looking in the tack compartment door, that kinda thing. I see where they have free delivery within 1000 miles, so that would suit me just fine coz it's 686 miles from here to there.
Hey, I replied to your thread on Pony's conformation over there on the other forum. Since you were talking about her jumping so well, you've gotta post that pic of her jumping over that jump out in the pasture on the longe line. That's one of my all-time favorites.
Yeah - I posted it... along with her flexibility pic, just for a bit of fun :~)
That one's good but it was actually another that I liked better. She's jumping from right to left in it and her lines are just so smooth and fluid. You gotta find it.
Hmm... I'll go look again :~)
I should really build some pretty jumps and get some new pictures this summer. She'd easily go a lot higher. She rather enjoys it!
While I was looking I found these that cracked me up :~) Cyn having a meltdown about a 4x4 that's practically on the ground - and then making a big production out of me making her walk over it... eye on that lunge whip ;~)
Oh, that is a good one of Pony jumping, I like it too.
I like Cyn stepping over the rail too. She looks all tucked up, like that whip is really hurting her...:)
Becky
I did get pictures of our new tanning beds tho:)<
Kind of looks like a coffin, or a space age time machine.
Becky
It does look like a coffin :~) I'd be a little claustrophobic in there! I'm around when you get the album done.
