attn: Everyone from the Porch!

I want everyone to congratulate Sebastian on the arrival of her new son!

His name is Junior (gonna have to do something about that) He is 3 1/2, he is bay, tall, very handsome…

And she needs another horse like a hole in the head, although I Have seen the hole in her head and it’s pretty big…

Since she did not tell you all about Lily, I figured she was gonna make ya all wait to hear about the new kid as well!

Oooooo – a new son – maybe our kids can play? No wait, mine only weighs 14 pounds. Well, we could drape Seamus over his back …

Hi, Seb. My first venture off the porch to COTH. I and a bunch of others are on a shiny new porch at EZBoard and loving it there. We seem to have misplaced the still…JB was seen sneeking into the woods a few times, but she blames you for making off with it.

Anyway, congratulations on the new baby! I thought since this was such a promising prospect for you, and you were looking for some name related to the sea, how about Tidal Wave?

Just curious…where does Pep’s Express come from? Any QH lines in there? Just asking, since Pep (and variations)is a big QH bloodline.

Thanks you guys!

Contrary to C2s suspicions – I was planning on announcing my new baby very soon. I took some pics yesterday and today, and will post them as soon as they are developed.

Ok Portia, here goes…

He’s 3 1/2, a TB (never raced, so he’s got a mouth like butter…), about 16.2h (hoping he’ll top out at 17), a grandson of Seattle Slew, moves like a dream (his walk is the size of my friends 17+h Holsteiner and when I look down at the trot, I can see his toes…), and he’s just the cutest thing!

I’d been training him in trade with my new barn owner (he was a sale horse that she bred) for body clipping during the winter. She’d just had a baby of her own, so she couldn’t ride… And, after two weeks, I was in love. He was RIDICULOUSLY underpriced for his quality, so since I’d just sold my other TB, I used part of the money to purchase this one. I free jumped him before completing the deal and his jump lives up to his movement! And, he’s VERY relaxed and bold to the fences.

I’ll probably start him out in the Hunter ring, but hopefully he’ll want to join the Jumper ranks after a few years – he’s definitely got the scope. If he doesn’t like jumpers, he’ll be worth at least 10 times what I paid for him in the Hunter ring.

He’s just got it all – looks, brains, athleticism, AND personality.

I can’t wait for you guys to meet him!

[B]Well… Actually, he’s not registered. My friend Pattie bred him, and decided not to race him (keep him as a sport horse), so he’s never been called anything but “Junior.”

I think I’ve decided that his show name will be “Up All Night” as he is a beautiful dark seal bay and does not have a white hair on him. It also stays in keeping with my grey TB who was “Up In Lights.” (C2 came up with that one and seems to like this one…she can be sooooo hard to please…

GASP ME? HARD TO PLEASE? OK WELL gucky Japanese well ok…

I umm already have his barn name sweetie, how about “Nips” or “Mouthypony” or “Just a Nip” or “Hey look at my teeth!” or “Mouth” or or or or “JAWS” …ya ya Jaws it is…LOL

oh ya and I have not had a cigarette in TWO DAYS…proud of me?

Woo Hoo!!! Crack open the cider in honour of the new addition. Congrats.

You go girl on the non smoking deal!!!

If you can remember to keep it to dealing with quitting “one craving instinct” at a time, you will be successful. When I quit(used to smoke like a chimney), as I would habitually reach to light one up I told myself,“No we don’t own any anymore”, and went on about my business. It might be only fifteen minutes later when I would have that same conversation with myself.

My point being, what ever it takes for you to do it for yourself, do it. And don’t be afraid to keep it to yourself. I found by not telling anyone I was going to quit, I took alot of “helpful” pressures out of the equation.

It was my present to myself for my 40th birthday and I am proud to say I just celebrated the 10th anniversary of my quitting. Yep now 50 and smokeless. Love it.

Congratulations! nm

Hurray!!! Clean lungs! Don’t forget, you’ll also be hacking up the brown stuff for a few days…

And, hmmmm…“jaws”…ROTFLMAO!!! He’s getting better!!!

Today, he actually let me bridle him without standing on a stool! (He likes to pretend he’s a giraffe…) Ah, the joys of 3yr-olds…

Congrats, Sebs. (Sorry I’m not from the porch, but I’m from E-search and I figured I could offer congrats. )

Sounds like a great find Seb! But from what you described I think we definately have to do something about the “Junior” name (unless you want him to go through life being called “Junior Jumper.”

What is his full real name, so we can start giving you “suggestions”?

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

Pep Sea
<HR></BLOCKQUOTE>

What a riot!!! I told his former owner about this today and she thought it was great. Kicked herself for not thinking of it at the time.

Congratulations Seb! I suppose you’ve had the appropriate talk with Echo and Lily and told them they are not being replaced by the new baby?

Sooo, Seb, what’s the breeding, what’s the training, what’s the personality, what are his goals in life?

Jo, you are a step-sitter, and that’s part of the Porch!

Well… Actually, he’s not registered. My friend Pattie bred him, and decided not to race him (keep him as a sport horse), so he’s never been called anything but “Junior.” He got that name because he is a carbon copy of his daddy who is a Seattle Slew son named “Unresting Sea.” His mom is “Pep’s Express.”

I think I’ve decided that his show name will be “Up All Night” as he is a beautiful dark seal bay and does not have a white hair on him. It also stays in keeping with my grey TB who was “Up In Lights.” (C2 came up with that one and seems to like this one…she can be sooooo hard to please…

I tried to think of something to do with the sea, but was unsuccessful. So feel free to try and change my mind or suggest a better barn name.

I should be able to post a pic tomorrow so you can see him and be inspired…
