2001 Best of the BB Awards...

Yea! Dublin likes my screen name! I was actually thinking of changing it because it’s kinda dorky and a lot of people have asked me what the heck it means (FYI, it means most of my shoes have teeth marks in them from teething canines!)

Now, now Oblvious, no one said they hated you. And I’m really sorry if I hurt your feelings with my post. If it makes you feel any better, Moesha called me “dog tissue” at FPP he thought my name was so wierd! I thought that was hilarious!

It’s just that the story behind your name isn’t apparent to most of us who read it. Because of that it seems, to me at least, either incredibly self denegrating or that you take pride in being oblivious. I realise, from your post, that isn’t what you meant. But I didn’t know that before and unless everyone knows the background, that name really isn’t the best “advertising” for you.

Again, I’m very sorry to have hurt your feelings. I really didn’t mean anything against you personally. Feel free to hate my user name as much as you want!

[Moesha]

Oh and one more thing tle, I only do the jumpers and we don’t do outside diagnol outside. And there is nothing wrong with those types of courses in the Hunters, the finesse to put in a smooth flowing hunter trip takes a soft feel and and accurate eye that many people cannot do to do it right

[Halo_Effect]

Katie your great!!!I like your username too ErinB!! hhaha everyone says I like to see my name in lights well I do!!! And for those of you who have to hate me I’m starting a clique for y’all it’s called: We hate Bennet&Bailey Clique!!! haha good Idea huh?

Calligula, a smart man! Appointed his horse as consul!
Look mommy!! He’s wearing bellbottoms!!(in reference to a clydesdale)

PS: I think some horse show we all are going to we’ll grab our horses and have a huge COTH BB tea party, YAY!

[ErinB]

Awww gosh, I’m inspirational. I don’t know why, but I’m inspirational.

Now, really, what’s with the marigold shirts and windowpane jackets and puke green breeches? Who dresses you people? And in what kind of SPORT does it matter if your hair is correctly positioned over your ears? What is this, ice dancing?

<HR></BLOCKQUOTE>

OK that’s what makes me squirm. That wierd hunter hairdo; hairnet with those sideflaps over the ears. Talk about DORKY.

JTM loves SC too, but unfortunately hasn’t gone for a run for 3days. I think a forum for me would get trashed, though. There are definitely some people who do not love JTM.

I get the feeling that we left far too early last night.

How did the waitress look when you all rolled BACK in? The only time she smiled all night was when we paid up prior to Miniwelsh stopping traffic at Rt 50 and Plains Road!

<BLOCKQUOTE class=“ip-ubbcode-quote”><font size="-1">quote:</font><HR> Two roads diverged in a yellow wood,
And sorry I could not travel both
And be one traveller, long I stood
And looked down one as far as I could
To where it bent in the undergrowth;
Then took the other, as just as fair,
And having perhaps the better claim,
Because it was grassy and wanted wear;
Though as for that the passing there
Had worn them really about the same,

And both that morning equally lay 
In leaves no step had trodden black. 
Oh, I kept the first for another day! 
Yet knowing how way leads on to way, 
I doubted if I should ever come back. 

I shall be telling this with a sigh 
Somewhere ages and ages hence: 
Two roads diverged in a wood, and I-- 
I took the one less traveled by, 
And that has made all the difference.

<HR></BLOCKQUOTE>

And I thank you for it

<BLOCKQUOTE class=“ip-ubbcode-quote”><font size="-1">quote:</font><HR>Why do y’all flag your warm-up jumps? Are you too dumb not to know which way to jump a ramped oxer? Also, why do y’all want to jump jumps that don’t come down if your horse hits them? Answer that one for me?!?!?! <HR></BLOCKQUOTE>

Our oxers aren’t always ramped! That’s for sissies… of course the same reason could be used on your last question too! The idea isn’t that the horse should hit the jumps! duh! They’re supposed to go OVER them… but I guess those who’s fences always fall wouldn’t realize that’s the idea, now would they?

My question is why don’t ya’ll assign ride times… wouldn’t things go a LOT smoother? Or would you need your TRAINER there to tell you what time it is as well as how to ride?

<BLOCKQUOTE class=“ip-ubbcode-quote”><font size="-1">quote:</font><HR>Who do you think we sell our bad jumpers to, VT??? I mean, really…these eventers provide good homes for some of our pukes! We should be nicer to them.<HR></BLOCKQUOTE>

Well, yes Colin, you should be nicer. After all, who is it that takes the horses that you can’t handle and makes something out of them! Just because they aren’t fashion princesses who pose for the cameras doesn’t mean they can’t jump.

Moesha… you need to just back yourself down, Miss Princess. Don’t come in here throwin’ THAT attitude at me, ah-ite?! You just go back to your corner and sit there Miss trainer-dependent, posin’ for the judge, crest releasing, stride counting, everything matching enough to make Martha Stewart sick, wish you could gallop with the big boys wannabe!

If Dressage is a Symphony… Eventing is Rock & Roll!
