Was the wedding yesterday? I thought today.
Becky
I am not sure but I had not seen a post from her lately. Then it dawned on me that she had a wedding to attend.
Yeah she left Thurs. and will be back on Sun.
I know today sometime she was going to go on a 2 hour trail ride. I think it was to kill time till the wedding.
Becky
That is a good idea, I will have to remember to do that the next time I have to attend a wedding........... : )
Inge Cav: I hope "frog" posts some pics soon too! She has horses you haven't seen yet? - or pictures you haven't seen yet?
Beaker: Yeah - sounds like a 'dressing down'! I'd have probably taken the 'slow and go look at it' approach too if she was spooking at stuff, unless the owner let me know she just likes to avoid real work by blowin'... ;~D
Becky - Good morning! Gonna start a new thread today..... really! Once I've had some coffee!
She has horses that I have not seen and also pictures of them that she could not email to me. The pictures were on a cd and my computer could not recognize them.
She may be trail riding today. Talked to her earlier in the week but it was mostly about her new cat that I have. Trying to talk her into a "twofer", or in this case a "TwoFur."
Sounds good to me:) I am having a last sip to before heading out on Trash. He's saddled and waiting, I'm just not quite ready ~sip~ :).
I have to get back in time to run to the feed store, didn't make it yesterday, and they are only open 1/2 days on Sat. Then I really want to get on Harley, haven't yet.
He was acting a bit wide eyed Thurs. night at the arena, so Kristy just ponyed him. They were having a work day there because there is a rodeo this weekedn. Weed eaters, lawn mowers, plastic bag flapping, lot's of commotion. Plus after I thought about it, he had been stalled for the last 3 1/2 weeks except when being ridden, and I don't know what they fed him.
He stood tied to my trailer yesterday for several hours.
Becky
Have good rides today!
I ~may~ meet up with my friend Tiffney this morning, she wants to go look at my friend Bob's portable barns. He built these big three sided shelters on skids that he can drag to a fresh spot when they get mucky, and Tiff wants to try to build one. They are pretty cool, I'll take pictures if we go.
Otherwise, my goal for the weekend is to get pasture seed down in the back forty before the temps drop too much for seed to germinate.
Please just carry on in the new thread!
Hello. Tuffydoodle suggested I come here to shelter myself from the lynch mob. It's bad enough that I get beseiged by two cows and a horse when I walk out the door. I do not know how to post pics. I don't know which pics I have on disc and on my desktop! I have tons of photos, but no scanner.
An intro. I grew up on a ranch, actually a family member managed a boarding stable, so I exercised alot of the horses. I could ride an 18 hand Palomino before I could walk. But my 1st pony, a Welsh, always got the better of me. My uncle was a "cowboy" and I used to love to ride his rodeo horse Jimbob. The first time I was ever thrown was on Jimbob. My uncle told me to never say "wo" while galloping. So I did, and went flying about 8 feet in the air, landing on my bottom.
I started riding in fun shows really young and only showed seriously at Del Mar and Silver Strand. Western Eq and Pleasure. At present I live on a ranch and have one horse, a Quarter/Palomino stud. He is the Great Grandson of two Futurity champions. His daddy was claimed off the track, and since my uncle couldn't afford to put him in training, he roped off of him and bred him. That's where my Sunny boy came from. It is unfortunate, but he doesn't get out on the trail much because he is a stud. I've tried that, and the first time he sniffed a mare, he tried to throw me. So we ride on 22 acres of private property. He is about 16 1/2 hands, HUGE and extremely powerful. Gentle giant, but if he gets his head down after a stint of non-exercise, lookout for head snapping. Right now he is enduring a windstorm. He is in love with a cow. If I were a liberal, I'd hire him a shrink. But he misses his buddy Baxter, who was sold to a ranch a year ago. That was a great horse. Part thoroughbred, a little rank, but the best trail horse I have ever ridden.
Cheers, FOC
