<BLOCKQUOTE class=“ip-ubbcode-quote”><font size="-1">quote:</font><HR> 16. Poster that always puts you in a good mood - VTrider <HR></BLOCKQUOTE>

Bless you both

[subk]

Sorry but anyone who can post THAT attitude IS a “Miss Princess,” and it doesn’t matter which kind of equipment they sport.

<BLOCKQUOTE class=“ip-ubbcode-quote”><font size="-1">quote:</font><HR>Originally posted by Erin:

Ahem. Anyway, I revise my list (reluctantly) to include Colin<HR></BLOCKQUOTE>

But Erin, shouldn’t Colin have been under your “voted off the island” answer as well? After all, you did do just that…

[Kellybird]

I notice that I am conspicuously absent from ErinB’s list…whatever.

And Erin…I would like to be Kachoo as well, however I don’t know that your reasoning is quite right…do you want to be someone because you have feelings for his/her siblings?? incest much??

[tle]

No, I think sbk was right on target (and yes, I’m sure she was kidding just as much as the rest of us). Her post just didn’t come across that way simply because she had to explain herself S-L-O-W-L-Y and using small words so the H/J princesses (with or without optional equipment) could understand her.

Go Robby!! Take that! YEA!! I knew my eventer buddies where lurking around just waiting to jump in…like all good eventers who actually HELP each other.

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

I’ll throw you a bone, I just don’t know why you want it! I don’t know why people hate me!! It makes me sad!

<BLOCKQUOTE class=“ip-ubbcode-quote”><font size="-1">quote:</font><HR>Originally posted by Moesha:
Oh and by the way…anyone on this BB who thinks that I am princess in attitude doesn’t know me at all. Having nice things and being a spoiled useless person are two vastly diffferent behaviors. Just because the Hunter/Jumper world emmulates class and elegance does not mean that the people in it do not work their asses off as well. So all kidding aside.An attitude like that is a definite block if you want to be a true horse person.<HR></BLOCKQUOTE>

I like my ass and do not believe in working it off. My attitude has never blocked me from getting the things I want (then again, I am single, do not have a nice over 14.2 hand hunter, do not have a classy outfit and don’t know how to dress for the country club.) Boo hoo hoo - I’ve just realized I am a white tent trash hunter princess wanna be

Behind every good woman lies a trail of men

BULID ME A BRIDGE AND GET OVER IT! blah blah!! I’m nice

Oh, no, please don’t start playing nice… I was enjoying the trash talk!

(And everyone knows everyone is kidding, right? )

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?

And I’ve always been confused about this… why is it again that you can’t ride your horse outside of an enclosed arena? I can never remember if it’s because the horse costs so much, the insurance company won’t let you… Or because the rider doesn’t actually know how to steer, the horse is “autopilot” for outside-diagonal-outside-diagonal… Or is it because the riders have no sense of direction and will get lost if they’re not going in a circle?

And how do you all avoid those pesky DEA officers when obtaining the cocaine necessary for your horse to perform a lovely hunter round?

BTW, have we mentioned that there are actually some cute, STRAIGHT guys who event?

(Quiet, Robby! )

You must be so VERY relieved that the worst thing happening is on Sport Horse Breeding and that we DIDN’T end up strewn about beneath JS’s windows this morning!

Do so very much hope you will attend one of the gatherings (Frying Pan is so well behaved!) soon.

Did you like our Christmas Card to the BB?

How could anyone forget that “I just hit the Easter bunny!!” thread. ROTFL
