Oh well, yeah, he might have pulled something in that slip!

Say hi to Rocky for me. :~)

Heh... I think Becky was sold after a few minutes!

And I understand why! I was a little reluctant to try, when it came right down to it, I’m a timid thing. But they insisted and I did it and I’m really glad I did.

Thanks Blade :~)

Before I had kids I wasn’t even remotely interested in Halloween. Now it’s my favorite holiday. It’s easy, I don’t have to spend a bunch of money and time for gifts, or find time to spend with both families, the decorations are quick and easy to put up and take down, etc.

Wow Becky, you really are thinking of changing religions. Before I bought Winnie for my daughter, we looked at some Tennessee Walkers. I really wanted to get one, just for something different, but Mandy rides english and wanted a horse she could post on.

Thanks, Duchess! Mina isn’t Tuffy but I’m having fun and getting a little interest back. I’m really proud of her progress.

We used to be more into Halloween when we lived on the street where I grew up. Tight neighborhood, lots of kids trick or treating.

Now, we never get any trick or treaters. Maybe friends with kids will stop by on their way somewhere, but otherwise... We usually buy a couple big candy bars just in case.

Handing out candy at halloween is the only thing I miss about living in a neighborhood. We are waaaay too far off the road for trick or treaters now. We have to take our kids somewhere else for trick or treating.

I think she's a beautiful horse ('course Harley is beautiful also)

Bob and I were talking this weekend about getting a Paso Fino or two and raising some spotted ones :) The babies wouldn't be able to be registered in either registry but wouldn't they be pretty.

...the story about you all coming here was the most read story of all the papers this past weekend:)

LOL! That's probably because we all kept going back and reading it. My husband even had to read it. That reminds me, I need to forward the link to some more of my family.

I’m glad you’re enjoying working with her. I have a feeling she is going to be an outstanding horse.

Oh, and she's still got it that I live in Tennessee, but at least she changed it so that BladeRider lives in Tennessee with me, so that's good I guess! ;o)

Tuffy, you are truely a talented woman when it comes to yard decorations! I love the skeleton laying on the lounge chair! And Mina is just BREATHTAKING! She looks like such a sweetheart too. I think you and she will make a great team.

Is Hope for sale or are you just going to start looking for a gaited horse?

Weeeell, Hope wasn't really for sale at the time, but Becky liked her, and as buyers go they really don't get much better than her (except for maybe Hair ), and Lord knows I've got too many horse to ride, so it just kinda happened.

Y’all are so sweet! Thanks for the nice compliments. I’ll try to get some pics and video of the breaking process.

I’m on my way out the door for a haircut. Be back later...

...wanted a horse she could post on.

LOL!! That statement just blows my mind. WHY would anyone want to post?! To each her own I guess.

Well, you might get a gait out of them, 'specially since you've got the indian shuffle in some of your bloodlines. It might be an interesting experiment. If they gait, they would make some fine trail riding horses.

Here is a LINK to the Spanish Jennet page. They are Paso Fino/Appaloosa cross. They are called Atigrado horses. Pretty cool.

Thanks for the links. Cool although I can see you’d have to be careful with the breeding to keep a conformation that I like. I’ve got to show Bob the links tonight :)

I told her yesterday ALABAMA! I haven’t looked at it I didn’t know she still had it wrong:(. Probably too late now for correction. Today is the day it goes to press. I’m sorry.

I really appreciate your confidence in me as a horse owner:)
