I missed my "brush with greatness". I was visiting my brother in San Diego in 1990. We were invited to a house party, but I was tired and went to bed instead. The next morning my brother said,...

As someone who will never be one of the greats, and has no inkling of what it is like to be a professional horseman, I have a question. Were the "greats" independently wealthy? I ask, because of...

Now THAT'S the kind of riding I remember watching as a kid! I wanted to do it then, and still want to do it today. How welcoming, inspirational and beautiful the courses were back then! Where and...

What BarbB said. Thank you Kevin! That letter gave me goosebumps.

I think that Kevin hit the nail on the head with this letter - thank you Kevin! The quote above espescially hit home with me. I have a young horse that I have one goal with - complete a training...

My thoughts and prayers are with Darren and his family. May his good progress continue. And my deepest condolences go to Jon and Missy.

What a great video - you and his owners have my condolences. Such a sad loss. :no:

Most excellent news! :yes: And yes, Desi is fancy, fancy, fancy! He's so black that his dapples shine blue, and he has a huge shoulder and big butt. He also looks to be a little more uphill than...

Steuart Pittman's Salute The Truth is an ottb.

I remember when that happened to you! I was standing right near the area where you were supposed to turn right into the field, and you zoomed straight ahead instead. When you realized your mistake...

I will pay good money to see Gnep AND RAyers belly dance! :winkgrin:

To make that good money, I farm-sit on the side, mostly for farms with sheep. I worked as a shepherd a long time ago, complete...

Fine art conservation - I clean and restore oil paintings. I've done this for over 8 years, with short breaks from the fumes here and there with other odd jobs.

For a long time before that, I...

LOL - I LOVE it when they flip on you!!! It is also very important that they stand and don't kick out while getting a good "cleaning". :eek:

LOL! Very true that size dosn't matter, but the quality of the ride does! :winkgrin:

As far as experience goes, I definately like a ride that knows how to take me to the finish line without me...

I love this quote from Badger:
I want to add it to my signature line also, as it is pretty much my view of life, but I can't fit it all in. Boo!

See what you started Denny?

LOL olympicdreams04 - I just made your slogan my new signature. Too funny! :lol:

Amen criss!!! Why does anyone even care? :confused:

LM8, I am so sorry for your loss. You have my deepest condolences. :cry:
