We had a handyman named George for awhile...same name as our Basset. I had to quit yelling "George!!! Shadduppp!!!" when he would start baying. George is named after my dad, who loved to nap, as does...

Me and hubby will be in the cheering section for the Cleveland Bay classes. Our CBx's will be staying home munching on our neighbors' grass. Long term goal is to show the CB/TB in the under saddle...

When we were at Upperville in 2004 or 05, they had a flat class and a hunter hack class, besides the in hand.
By the way, it was F-reezing that morning!

Maybe some of those out of work "ladies" from the Emperor's Club in NY might find it useful in their new endeavors....sorry, I just couldn't resist-I'm the plain tack/show off your horse GM type of...

Hey CB people-who's planning to go to Upperville this year? We'll be going sans horses. I am assuming the CB classes will be Sunday morning (?).

I imagine Three Chopt was named after Three Chopt Road, which runs from the Richmond city line (by the CC of VA), through the West End of Richmond (Henrico Co) and on out to Goochland County, near...

I've been trying to post but I kept getting timed out. Obviously I have a lot ot say about CBs. :)
I bought my CBx mares through Maria (agent?) last summer. They are very affectionate girls. The...

I hope you have a blast, like everyone says. After being basically horseless for ten years, I now own two mares that I'll be riding this Spring. They are about as green as I am "creaky". I've mulled...

A man, in uniform, foxhunting--sounds like a good plot for one of those romance novels :D-I'd read it!

This is very educational to me as my mare is due in about a month-maiden mare. She and her pasture-mate are out 24/7 unless the weather is realllly bad. Both mares really prefer to be out and take...

Ahhh, yes, the slings and arrows of outrageous fortune-one of the FEW Shakespear(e?) lines I've remembered from lit class.
Annnd, the older I get, the worse my spelling memory is....I'll stick to...

Ok, give me a bit to quit my job, sell our house, convince my two mares originally from up north that heat and sand are GOOD...wouldn't have to convince hubby-he loves AZ and NM. Oh, and I need to...

Sigh. Makes me want to leave cold, grey, gloomy VA and head to AZ! With a stop at the Triple T Truck Stop in Tucson, of course.
Hi ho, hosses, thar's cacti and coyote in them thar hills.:D

Richmond, VA people-I don't recall the name of the tack shop but it was on Grove Ave near St. Catherines and Mrs. T outfitted you from head to toe.

Non-horsey---the neighborhood kids went out to...

Am I correct in remembering "good hands" classes and handy hunter classes?

Look at the Old Habit website-they are located in VA.

Re Cleveland Bays-- I can SEE the wheels turning in my 1/2 Cleveland Bay mare 's head. I once caught her herding me so I'd keep away from the other horse. Perhaps she's "got cow"???:D
She is too...

OK, I've had our girls on 24/7 hay for about two weeks. Are they going through more, yes. Fatter? Yes, but the 6 year old mare needed a few more pounds in my estimation. They are outside unless it is...

I have a grad degree in Rehab Teaching of the Blind and work with visually impaired adults. Also taking sign language classes, and will confess to being an artist who has been lax lately....wish I...

Making sure I had light contact with the mower while mowing the lawn.
Yep, looking at objects and thinking how I'd jump them.
Wondering if certain bluegrass tunes would work for freestyle. (Like...

When I was in college, both stables where I rode would do hacking out, hunter exercises, and trail riding through the mountains. Even practiced our handy hunter skills by opening and closing gates...

From what I observe (TV, etc) in the Western disciplines, the horses are for the most part not much over 15 hh and I think 16 hands is considered a big horse.
Now, am I to believe that those...

1. I'll go a bit further and say "quagmire" instead of mud. And the 2 mares that insist in standing in it when the rest of the paddock is a little more reasonable. (Well, I don't hate them-just that...

Wow! What a difference! He's even gained wt. in his legs :lol:
Looks like a Pony Express contender to me :winkgrin:

Fortunately I had already spilled my coffee twice this morning and didn't have any left to spew out when I saw the art. I love it !(loff it, guess I should say?). Please create a poster of the...
