Didn’t he have the most amazing floppy ears? And then my poor cousin Margreet was here from Holland for a few months. Exceptionally la-de-da DQ at the time. And we took her out for a rental ride, me on Clifford and her on this pinto called Bob, who would not go faster than a walk to save his life.
There is a place kitty-corner across from that old stable, on the Fountain Valley side of the river, which has barns and a arena and such and is for sale. Hard to believe you can still yee-ha in FV.
I am glad to hear that I am not the only one that can’t open that thread.
I am jingleing my curb chain for Jason.
Well your lovely painted critter can destroy more tether balls in one year, than any other horse I have seen. He will literally play with anything. So people stay away from those gums. However, the pigmy goats are not far enough away or they are just plain sucidal. They seem to think they can beat him to his dinner…NOT! Oh, and the names of said goats are Heidi, and no kidding, Mary…

Mary is grey, and Heidi, who is beligerent, is brown. The kids give them baths during the summer. The goats actually fence with the cats, for the cats food. Its hysterical to watch. 
Don’t worry Beezer, the owner has corgis, females. I don’t think Beezer would be on the top of her list for names… 
<HR></BLOCKQUOTE>
Hm. On the one hand, Beezer thinks she should be hurt. On the other … SHE IS LAUGHING HYSTERICALLY over the goat descriptors. A beligerent Heidi?? NAAAAAW … can’t be. 
So tell us, what is the personality of the Mary goat? Or can Beezer “invent” one??

Merry shy??? Ahhhhh, well uh, okay if you say so dear… Sorry, this goat thing is very funny… And please, why is it people bring these little darlings into their homes? Are we thinking dog here? At least bathe the little beasties…
Welcome home Mo!
coreene iam not sure what is going on since I have not been able to keep up on the BB for a while. I hope things are getting better for your friend Jason and my thoughts are with you guys.
Merry I am glad to hear you finally found the answer to coreenes question.
Am I still on topic or did I digress to much. I hope I don’t get into to much trouble.
Maybe next week I will have time to post what has happened to me this summer with the propertyetc. It is a soap oppera in the making. 
Oh boy, talk about the small world syndrome Merry. A friend I made while living east, bought Paint the Town. She adores him, and will never sell him. He gets to go to Florida for the winter and his life is lovely. He is a very nice horse, and has quite a personality. Now I know where he got it, email me if you would like more info on him…
Rusty, you’re home??? It’s time to break open the margarita mix!!! Get that blender whirring…
ROTFLMAO Wtywmn!!! That is hysterical!!! You simply must post pics of the goats!!!
Well, ahhh, I was just reminded that the “Mary” goat is, gulp, actually spelled (holding breath) Merry…I swear, I didn’t make that up! And Heidikins, no I didn’t name them, they were named long before I met them…
So now that our Merry is still in shock, I will tell you her namesake? is actually a very sweet, somewhat shy goat. Heidi on the other hand, is right up front, the alpha goat. They’re sisters and Merry gets spooked, but is very loving once you know her.
And Beezer, you can pick yourself off the ground now. Please, stand up, no doubling over in laughter.
I am shy! I am, I am, dangit! I am this feminine, demure fairy-like creature, a wood nymph, peeking out from behind some fern fronds in the forest.
The fact that I’m a competitive terror in the amateur hunter division is no reflection on my true, inner being.

Because it was about the answer to the Question For Merry.
Looking forward to the first installment of The Bold And The Rusty next week. Hope it hasn’t been too much of a drama! And fingers crossed for a happy ending (I do so love a happy ending).
Good lord, Wty! Quick … someone cue up the Twilight Zone music! You know who has mouthy monster child?? He was the CUTEST baby – won all sorts of stuff in hand – but he was a real character. We loved him lots and always think of him as “one who got away,” but QHSM back then was into SELLING and not warehousing for some reason…
Patrick and Mary had actually come out to see another (older) horse. Patrick fell in love with Deco (he was one of the few whose registered name slipped past the Beezer and Merry Name Monitor … QHSM registered him as Deco Design, even though that made everyone think he was by Art Deco when he was no relation 
) and had to have him. His mom was this really cute, FAT Crystal Water mare who was (we later learned) a sabino-patterned pinto, though she was officially registered a roan. Imagine our surprise when Deco arrived!
We heard from someone who had him in Chicago a few years ago and took the time and trouble to track us down. The mom told us they loved him dearly they had to sell him because the daughter was going to college and wasn’t showing anymore. She said he was being sold to someone in Florida.
How very very oddly wonderful that we have “connected” with him again.

OMG!!! The Twilight Zone music has now hit it’s peak, that is priceless!

OMG! OMG!! I can’t … seem … to … quite … pick … myself … up … off … the … floor. I think I may be busting a gut here…
But, Wty, I’m sorry … you’ve got the wrong darned Merry goat!! I swear, I am ROTFLMAO!!
And it doesn’t help my gut-busting to remind everyone that Merry (the human) is violently allergic to goats!!

Oh my goodness, you are your namesake!!! Is your fur grey?? Do you love cat kibble as a treat?
And oh yes, the afore mentioned creature does stand her ground when she actually has food in front of her… However, not ever being in the amateur ranks on the back of a horse, I will paraphrase that with legally, we won’t know how competitive she is in the show ring.
RUSTY! Is it you? Is it really, really YOU!?!?!?
Quick! Someone fire up the blender! Margaritas all around.

Patrick and Mary seem to have success selling CA horses back east! My friend had a very fancy 2nd year hunter that she sent to Rainbow Canyon to be shown and sold. She was recently sold to a woman in VA for $$$$. Her name is Estrella, if anyone has happened to have seen her show. She was just sold in July, flew out to her new home, and proceeded to win ribbons in the A/O’s immediately!!!
The goats are named Heidi and Mary?
If your friend gets a dog and names it Beezer, I believe that causes a cataclysmic chain of events setting off the apocalypse.
As for the Pinto Beast, he actually was quite a good boy here. He was hauled to about a dozen shows as a young baby. At the Trakehner inspections in Del Mar, the Germans judged him in the 2yr. old colt class, and he beat both colts who went on to be approved stallions the following year.
Patrick Spanton told me, though, that at Rainbow Canyon the horse developed the lovely habit of pulling off the fly masks, daysheets and leg wraps of any nearby horse. Hey, we aims to please!

OMG OMG Beezer, no…Merry’s allergic to goats? Now I am laying on the ground rolling…
No, MO is not home. Well, not home in Mo. that is!! That’s okay, I’m having a wonderful summer vacation here on the (shall I dare say…the East Coast)!!
As for MC…well, who knows. Have not talked with her or seen her for quite some time. Though, I have been snooping a bit around here and have discovered nothing new. Nothing new that would credit her claims that is!
So, on that subject, I’ve decided to let it lie.
No pun intended of course.
Merry, I do love the new subject / game! Perfect!
