Which COTH members/horses would you most like to see photos of?

[FrittSkritt]

...this goes to all the members who either a) don't use webshots, b) are preemies (i.e., premium members) and once in a while will share photos that only a handful of us see, or c) don't have a) or b) but are just camera shy/hiding from the Feds.

So, who haven't you seen a photo of (human, horse, or both) that you'd like to see?

My picks: Velvet, OnyxThePony, canterlope (just to see some of that gorgeous hunk of farm again!), War Admiral, and all of the moderators. (Yes, you too, Erin!) http://chronicleforums.com/groupee_common/emoticons/icon_biggrin.gif

You know, as much as I "converse" via email with Lord Helpus, Ive never seen a picture of her (only her gorgeous horses!) so would LOVE to finally see one of her to see what she looks like!

Oh - lots of others ... pacificsolo, cant re, breezymeadow, Curious George, etc

Others - I DONT need to see pictures of - like Nikita (who I see QUITE enough of thank you very much http://chronicleforums.com/groupee_common/emoticons/icon_wink.gif ) and Fred and GGold who I see often enough.

It was fun at Fred's party last year - putting faces to names, especially the GORGEOUS Robby and Robert! http://chronicleforums.com/groupee_common/emoticons/icon_wink.gif And wow!

Two caveats: 1. My hair is NOT that color -- It is light brown. It know it is because that's what it says on the bottle. http://chronicleforums.com/images/custom_smilies/yes.gif and, 2. My sister and I were both born with fake-a-loo "I'm having my picture taken" smiles. Sort of like a deer caught in headlights. I like to think that, in person, I do not look quite as stiff and that my smile is not as fake. But, who knows. Maybe this is exactly what I look like in person. http://chronicleforums.com/images/custom_smilies/sigh.gif

Well, your wish is my command -- I just happen to have a picture of Curious George riding! Quite frankly I don't think it is a medal winning ride (sorry CG), but hey it's a published fact.

There are way too many folks I am curious about and would love to see what they look like, but sometimes its better left to the imagination. http://chronicleforums.com/groupee_common/emoticons/icon_wink.gif

Oh LH - I didnt imagine you with blonde hair at ALL!!! http://chronicleforums.com/groupee_common/emoticons/icon_eek.gif
I really and truly, for some bizarre reason, thought that you were a brunette, but I guess, if in real life you are, then I was sort of right after all! http://chronicleforums.com/groupee_common/emoticons/icon_rolleyes.gif

Okay - here is a REAL picture of me (and not that the bike picture WASNT real, it was just taken a few years before this one http://chronicleforums.com/groupee_common/emoticons/icon_rolleyes.gif http://chronicleforums.com/groupee_common/emoticons/icon_rolleyes.gif )

Here is a picture of me and my daughter that was taken about 2-3 years ago. Other than my hair being a little longer right now its pretty accurate! http://chronicleforums.com/groupee_common/emoticons/icon_smile.gif

If you're going to have fun making humorous comments on anything to do with GM, riding, or anything else that fries your cookies, then have at it. But as another Realtor like Norsire...we all need to have our faces in our advertising...and we all need to advertise. It's called name/face recognition and usually we're pretty sensitive at having to have our mugs out there for everyone to gawk at.

Awwwww, thanks everybody. And Pixie Dust, I only wish that were half-way true, but thank you very much for thinking it. http://chronicleforums.com/groupee_common/emoticons/icon_smile.gif

That photo was taken by the show photographer when I was holding Miss P. while Trainer Jo was doing the course walk. Portia likes to watch intently while Jo is walking -- I think she tries to memorize the course too, in case Jo forgets or -- more likely -- in case Portia decides she has a better idea for how it should be ridden. http://chronicleforums.com/groupee_common/emoticons/icon_wink.gif

<BLOCKQUOTE class="ip-ubbcode-quote"><font size="-1">quote:</font><HR> What a stunning horse! What was he? <HR></BLOCKQUOTE>

Sorry- this ended up being a lot longer than I intended.

Golden Rocket was a TBxQH (by QH "Rebel", out of TB "Sunny"- those are the barn names, not sure of the registered names). He was bred by, and was a school horse at, Sunnyfield Farm in Bedford NY.

When he was young, Sunnyfield was owned by Mrs. McIntosh (A&P heiress), and was the home base for the USET (before they got Gladstone), so the young horses were ridden by the USET riders. When we bought him, I was told "Mike Page trained him". When I met Mike Page a few years ago he said (paraphrasing) "I rode him some, but I wouldn't say I trained him".

Sunnyfield had a couple of trainers originally from the SRS (Mr Zavulovich (SP???) and Werner Platzer). Karen McIntosh Collins (the owner's daughter) rode on the US Olympic Dressage team- I forget whether it was Rome or Tokyo. So the school horse got a really solid dressage foundation, even the ones that were primarily considered jumpers (as Rocket was).

When Rocket was 12, Mrs. McIntosh decided to sell off all the horses in the 7-15 yr age group. At the time, no-one knew why, but it later turned out that she had been diagnosed with leukemia. The older horses would be retired to her other farm somewhere in the south (supported by her estate), and the younger horses would be sold when she died. But she was afraid that these horse would be "to old to sell to good homes, but too young to retire" when she died. So she put them on the market then.

It was the strangest horse buying/selling process I have ever seen. We were new to the horse world, so we didn't know just how strange it was.

There was an ad in the paper, saying that there were good school horses for sale. When you called up, they wouldn't tell you ANYTHING about the specific horses.

When you got there, you had a LONG interview in the office, with Mrs. McIntosh, and the trainers. At the end, they said "I think she should ride Rocket." We were not given the opportunity to even LOOK at another horse. They had me ride Rocket in a lesson. One of the trainer came and inspected our barn and pasture.

"You can buy Rocket. The price is $500" (this was 1965, and that was about the top of our budget). No possibility of negotiating. "The price is $500, take it or leave it."

He took me from just starting to jump over cross rails, and could not sit his trot, to getting my Pony Club B.

While he was primarily known as a jumper, he got a bit arthritic as he got older, and you had to ride him "right" to a fence. If you dropped him, or he sensed that you were not 100% committed, he would stop. I almost always got at least one stop cross country.

On the other hand, while dressage was not his original strength, he had very good training, and we were usually in the first 3 after dressage at pony club rallies and horse trials (first after dressage in our first recognized horse trial, at Training, when Training was first introduced as a new lowest level). I will never forget the first time I sat a really correct collected trot on him.

A year later, we bought another one of the Sunnyfield horses, Meadow Lark, for my sister. Meadow was a full QH, by the same stallion out of Joan's Yellow Girl. Ironically, she was considered a dressage specialist- but hated it, and cleaned up in the Children's Hunter divisions when they were first introduced.

Hey Robby -- you can get great rates out of JFK direct to St. Martin and visit the NY clique at the same time! http://chronicleforums.com/groupee_common/emoticons/icon_biggrin.gif

There are so many incredibly beautiful beaches and fun things to do down there, it's worth the trip to stay for an extended period. And the scuba's not too shabby either, some good man-made wreck reefs on the Dutch side. Better snorkeling on the French side though if you don't scuba, IME. St. Barts is also gorgeous (where I ran into Jimmy Buffet once, btw http://chronicleforums.com/groupee_common/emoticons/icon_wink.gif ) as well as the white sand beaches on Anguilla.

Robby - don't leave out St. Lucia. I got married there (on the beach, of course!) back in '89, & back then it was rural & relatively undeveloped - but that's what made it so special (& adventurous to say the least). I've heard that it's much more touristy/developed now, but the beaches are fabulous, & you can't beat the riding, where (at least back in '89) you got to gallop hell bent for election thru the surf - just like in the TV commercials (the stables there are - or were - all English tack, in various degrees of solidity).

You should have seen me - in SNEAKERS no less - trying to pull up the mount they gave me - a 2-year old Anglo-Arab that had just been broken to saddle the week before. My new husband said he put the camera up to his face to take a pic of me & I was already, like, 5 miles down the beach! Thank God I had the foresight to tell them in no uncertain terms that my husband had NEVER ridden before, otherwise it could have been one of the shortest honeymoons in history.

But really - St. Lucia is truly one of the undiscovered beauties of the Carib.

My body is a temple - unfortunately, it's a "fixer-upper".

Ditto on St. Lucia, spent my honeymoon there in '96, what a gorgeous island.

Anguilla has the BEST beaches
Martinique has the best nude/topless beaches
Dominica has the best hiking
Antigua has the best sailing

but St Barts has the MOST UNFORGETTABLE airport

YOU WILL NEVER FORGET IT

especially when the pilot puts the damn plane in reverse before you even SEE the airstrip

YOU GOTTA EXPERIENCE IT

I would like to see 867-5309 in her current pregnant condition.
I'll bet she is even more beautiful than before.

Martinique better than Orient Bay or the very private Cupecoy beaches? Don't forget Pinel and Tintamarre islands right in the bay. I dunno...Martinique is nice...maybe you're right, but only because it gets a bit less cruise traffic and because I haven't spent as much time there. I love Orient Bay though...to just sit at Pedros is one of my MOST favorite activities and the private islands has to be second. Of course, I wouldn't turn down a trip to any of the above, ever...they are ALL gorgeous! http://chronicleforums.com/groupee_common/emoticons/icon_smile.gif

Anguilla's beaches are outstandingly beautiful ('cept for those little prickly seed things in the sand http://chronicleforums.com/groupee_common/emoticons/icon_eek.gif ) AND the Carribean sea side reef is incredible for snorkeling!

Saba is an incredible island because it's so steep it's mostly wild. The scuba to be outstanding there too...better than the other places mentioned so far.

Wow, Portia - you are both beautiful. That horse is gorgeous! Does she know it? Any more photos of her?

Someone sent me the link once. I just thought I'd post it. Heck, one of these days my pic will end up online and I'll post that! (I'm just too lazy to do it right now...and I also had having my picture taken. Too many bad ID picture experiences. http://chronicleforums.com/images/custom_smilies/lol.gif )
