I rode a Favory line horse many years ago. He was awesome, until you got him in the show ring - he would do a brilliant dressage test for you, but it was almost impossible to get him over a fence (he...

I just LOVED The Closet - very funny movie. Also, The Valet.

Strange Bedfellows - the Paul Hogan movie

In The Loop

Hey Jude - so over-rated

Jesus Take The Wheel - Carrie Underwood

Anything by Maroon 5 or Fantasia

Most modern C&W

It could be worse. My insurance doubled many years ago after I was involved in a multi-car accident where I was the only driver who was able to stop without hitting the car in front. Unfortunately, I...

You are more than welcome to Evan. I have never enjoyed his skating and don't particularly care for the direction skating has taken since the change in scoring system to COP.

I'll take Johnny's "empty" program over Evan's arm flailing any time.

Thank you, that is exactly what Mr Akro and I did when we got married. We also paid for my matron of honor to fly out to VA - she is a very dear friend who has been like a second mother to me (she...

Shooting Shark - Blue Oyster Cult

ETA Astronomy - Blue Oyster Cult

I'd like to add Renee Zellweger to the list. She seems nice enough, but I don't care for her as an actress.

Does anyone know where I can find the ride times for Dressage Getaway at Thermal this weekend? I called show management earlier this week and was told they would be up by today, but I still can't...

Having spent much of my working life in opto-electronics labs, and if money were no object, I would go for a Leitz or Zeiss. The quality of the optics is superb in both cases.

Interesting. I ordered my Schleese at around the same time that another girl at our barn ordered a Custom, and the saddles were ready within days of one another. I know I was quoted almost identical...

Umm, yes, I did read your post. Good for you that you CHOSE to braid for the hack and did NOT braid the previous day. I also CHOSE NOT to braid at my last couple of shows. However, until we can...

Gee, I am a show patron who would love to see braiding banned, at least for the non-rated classes, but I guess I am in the minority on this forum.

I bought an off the shelf Custom saddle that worked really well for my mare for almost a year. Something changed and I had the fitters from Custom come out to adjust it for me. Well, they just...

If Susie doesn't work out, I would highly recommend Sommer Anthony. I have ridden with her quite a bit and just love her as a trainer. She also did an awesome job when she showed my OTTB, who many...

Count me as one who would be right there if I had the money! I think the price is very fair given his record.

I do know Cabalito and his owners, and have seen him ridden by a variety of riders. He...

I see a lot of riders who can't perform it well at the Big Eq finals also. It really does stand out when a rider does a good job of it.

One of our local AA's did a beautiful hand gallop in a medal class last year, plus the rest of her round was equally beautiful, and she still ended up losing to someone who stayed at a working canter...

I buy the horse, not the size, so my horses range from 15hh or so to 18.2hh :-)

My dressage trainer and I went to look at some horses at Turf Paradise a couple of years ago. The trainer had several Phone Trick offspring and they were all very good looking with great...

Exactly! My parents taught me to read, write and do basic arithmetic before I even started school. My mother later got together with another parent and they continued to do extra work with me and the...

Lucky you :-) I was on that same stretch of road just before Thanksgiving, helping a friend move from Sacramento to Cleveland, and the winds were so bad there was no way we could have driven on the...

No Kindle or Nook for me. I am a very fast reader and also love the ability to flick back and forth in a real book. Kindles etc. just slow me down.

I'm so sorry. Somehow, it always seems a little tougher to get such news at this time of the year.

I lost my father to pancreatic cancer when he was only 67, but he was fortunate enough to have...
