Can't wait to see the rest of it-and Go Packers!

You have to make assumptions to knock her or give her a pass.

If a horse has served you, you are obliged to return that service-beyond basic husbandry. Call the vet, call the backhoe, shed your...

Please define "successful". Do you mean in a business sense, or do you mean producing good horsemen with excellent riding skills?

You can do one without doing the other!

Why did you not ask about 2 yr olds?

The last 3 non OTTBs I have had were 2 yos when I bought them. 2 had been backed, one wasn't halter broken. Two of them were bought from the breeder, the...

Tazer-very sorry for your loss.

Good for you to put a happy ending on a real life Black Beauty story.

luckys, I'm in the same boat. My Dutch horse is a big boy with lots of scope, a huge step, and quiet to the point of casual. I am an older adult rider-3 ft is the most ambitious I will ever be. I...

I dread the day my Effinghams finally wear out.

You guys, when hunting-white stocks are worn on formal days-usually the weekend. Informal days are during the week-called ratcatcher-you wear a tweed jacket, and a matching shirt with a choker, or a...

It is a powerful addiction. I smoked for 3 years while I was in school. I quit 33 years ago. I still smoke in my dreams.

My riding instructor smokes. I love her so much I want to slap her...

When I was that little girl's age, I only had a spring horse. I could get it completely off the floor. I could pick the front and back of the frame up (rear and buck), and get all 4 corners off the...

Timex-I'm glad your pits have been good with other animals.

As I said, I worked for 5 years in a small animal vet's office. I saw more there in a month than I could have experienced in a year in...

Akitas were on my short list. I've been lucky to be around several wonderful ones.

But-there's enough dog hair in my house-another check by the Dobie's name.

In cold weather my Dobie does...

I have a Dobie too. He looks all business, even with his floppy ears. He gets along great with the whole farm, cats and chickens included. He has an even, predictable temperament-I don't have to...

Let me say a word from the other side.

The suppliers set their wholesale prices to the retail store according to the volume the store buys from them-the more you buy, the better the price they...

Maybe saving that spot for Evil Daddy Dynaformer?

Pollyanna that I am, I think when we are so lucky to have horses in our lives every day, perhaps we get "used" to how amazing they really are. ...

It is a dear wish of mine to someday have a colt by A Fine Romance. His name will be Happily Ever After.

I have a 2yo Dobie who is a fun dog to live with. He is great with the horses and other animals. He has boundless energy and loves all barn chores. He is big (90 lbs) and imposing with a scary...

I've been making bread by hand for 30 years now. I learned out of Laurel's Kitchen and the Tassahara Bread book. It's real back to the land hippie bread, with lots of cooked grain like oatmeal and...

Charlotte is Big City USA with NASCAR attitude.

You can't judge NC by Charlotte-ugh.

danceronice-I've had squirrel, prepared by an experienced game cook. She fried it in a pressure cooker with the lid on-it tasted like tar to me. It was the only thing I was ever served at her table...

An accurate, easy to read thermometer?

I can't do without my big, heavy, drop it anywhere and it still works flashlight.

The hunt I belong to starts cubbing the 3rd week of July. Our season ends the first week of March. We hunt Thursdays and Sundays, so I guess I'm glad I hunt in NC.

I'm not sure how I feel about...

There may be something toward Cherryville and Shelby-I think that might be eventing oriented.

Tryon is an easy hour and ten minutes up 74, and you can't swing a cat by the tail without hitting a...

Something Derby related?

I must admit, after nearly 50 years of riding lessons, I can spot a bad instructor a mile away.

I did clinic with a BNT++ who made me want to kiss the ground when we were through. The other...
