Well, that was fun browsing through all the extra feature stuff...

Hope you all have a good time with the chat/view tonight... The rest of us are losers for bailing on this premier night!

I am changing into my riding clothes and leaving in a bit to go show that horse to some potential buyers.
The owner is in Wyoming right now... and his wife doesn't handle horses, so she needs my help to show him. I hope they like him, because he is too much horse for my friend, and they apparently said they don't mind a challenge.

For those of you that are horse people... the trouble with this guy is that he is a former breeding stallion, and still thinks he is now. So he needs to be watched... he bites, he may kick, and he tests everything. I find him fun to work, but my friend needed a quieter trail horse that won't hurt him... he is 65 and not interested in that! And the horse is accident prone.... keeps mysteriously scraping himself up out in the pasture or getting caught in fences. Just spent six months healing from a bad tangle that cut him... He needs to belong to a young kid that wants to game or something that will keep him busy I think.

Hi folks, my computer is working, been catching up on your activities, and am now glowering as a DVD deprived person on this great day in August. Oh well, see you later, or tomorrow!

Hi HOTD! I'm not much of a horse person, but my wife is. She's currently studying a training methodology called Parelli Natural Horsemanship. We've gone to see one of Pat Parelli's clinics. Fascinating stuff, and apparently a great way to work with difficult horses. Folks at our barn are pretty amazed at the way my wife can handle her horse without any bit or bridle, only a halter and lead rope.
