For anyone that was “fascinated” by this thread a while back - you should check out the horseshowspy.com website. Serious trainwreck over there!!!
(UH, nevermind, someone beat me to posting it … I was too busy reading the cat fight over there… :lol: )[/QUOTE]
No fair…you have to tell us what forum/thread!!
I havent read all the replies…
But I would find her parents and explain the situation. Then ask if you can put her to work cleaning stalls. Since she wants to be around horses this would be a great opportunity to teach her about them and teach her correct behavior about them. Of course after mucking stalls and paddocks she may not want to come over anymore either…

It’s in Under the Bus and his stallion’s name features in the thread title. It is a hoot - lots of venom and accusations were flying as of yesterday.
Kooki, I hope that you are able to convey to Gran just how sorry we all are about the loss of her husband. Fifty years is such a long time to share. She is lucky to have so many memories to recall. I hope that living by the sea will bring her all the comfort she seeks.
Please keep us updated on life in your village. There are so many people we need to keep up with. We must know how PC Owen heals and when he returns to duty, how Farmer Dave and his brood are doing and of course, the big question, who will move into Gran’s house and what kind of neighbor will they turn out to be?

Well honey, you NEED too, you’ve missed quite the party!:lol::lol::lol:
C’mon now, this brought me out of four years or so of lurkdom! Surely you have the time to read all… uh… sixty three pages…
Nevermind.
I hope for nothing but the best in the futures of KC, PC, Gram, Mom, Spawn, Dave, Gram’s dogs, Dave’s cows & children, KC’s horses & SO, etcetcetc.
And I STILL want to see this child referred to some sort of equine work camp.
But i’m kind of nasty.
kookicat I’m glad this chapter is closed.
I am always a day late and a dollar short.
ANY help with boarder guards would be SO helpful! OK, I’ll hide the drunken polo player in my stack of clean saddle pads, right in the spot where Kwame was hiding. Actually, we could probably fit the whole team in the same spot where Kwame was! :yes:
And if your attempts at invasion and my attempts to help you–y’all?–positively access the border are thwarted we’ll all fit next to the spot Kwame’s sitting in now. (Well, except he’s in county and we’d be in fed but that’s just one of those pesky details…)
Who allpurpose and I are talking about
Um, I know that beggars can’t be choosers, but since I’m a pathetic, desperate, middle-aged divorcee, I’m thinking just one for general all around usefulness winkwinknudgenudge would be jes fine. All the rest is really icing on the pol–erm, cake. :: insert Homer Simpson drooling icon :: mmmm iced polo player
when you know they gone for good as in for good then come back here
so we can all say------- yipee
harsh i know- but honestly – poor gran we feel for her
Can someone send me the link to the other thread when he-who-got-banned is causing touble? I’m dying to see wht you’re all talking about. 
Here you go:

It’s in Under the Bus and has Silvio in the thread title - just in case the link doesn’t work and you have to join first.
Holy heck. He really is good at annoying people, isn’t he?
Also, can I have some jingles for Gran tomorrow? It’s Grandad’s cremation.

(Susan madly grabs curb chain and starts shaking it wildly!!!) :yes:
You’ve got jingles coming from NY, USA for Gran. Please give her hugs from everyone that has faithfully followed this thread.

There is something seriously wrong with the majority of you people.If this woman does not know who her neighbors are, in a rural area, I will bet that if you poll the neighbors you will hear plenty about her. There was a posting a few weeks ago about a mountain lion in a pasture. Lots of people defended the lion. This is a child, no one knows her name or anything about her yet the venom is spewing. This spitefull tone and attitude towards people works against horse owners every time. If my kid came home and told me that someone had yelled at her, I would find that person and make their life very, very miserable. If my child were at fault I would take responsibility, but nobody is going to get away with going after my child. There is an American Indian saying which goes something like “We do not inherit the land from our ancestors, we borrow it from our children”[/QUOTE]
hmmmm your child (if she was doing as this one is) is making the land/horse owner “very very miserable” BUT if the owner yelled at your child YOU’D make her life “very very miserable.” i’m not even believing this. here is a tip for you. a brat like this one won’t be scared for life if someone hollers at her. it won’t do anything but make her mad.
Poor Gran. Jingling she is able to recover and find new happiness.
And lovely that RB & R moved back far, far away.
As this chapter in our strange tale draws to a close, we wanted to give everyone a heads up that we’ll be closing the thread soon, as the horse-related aspects have been resolved. Pay your respects to Gran and provide any final thoughts before we add this to the “inactive classics” category.
Best wishes,
Mod 1

But, but, but WAIT!! We haven’t finalized our Canadan invasion plans yet!! :eek: That part is still horse-related as we (at least ME) were going after hay and hot polo players and farriers! :yes: :yes: 
But Mod 1, thank you for letting this go on as long as it did!
Wait, uh, who got banned???
Facsinated?? That would be funny…
Can ya’ll direct me to a page where I might witness the foolishness??
Apparently we will have to wait until October for the planned Canadian Invasion…of course, come the end of November, they’ll get last licks…

Well, considering the fact that our farmers can’t get in the fields to hay because of all the rain we’ve had, I may have to go on a exploration mission and steal some before then. :yes: Look out Canada, here I come!
Thanks for the heads up.
The cremation went well today. It was a sunny day- we’ve had rain for the past few days, so the sun was very nice. Gran said she felt it was Grandad’s last gift to her. Gran is going to spread his ashes on the beach. I think he’d have liked that.
Thank you all for the support you gave me during this. It helped. It really helped knowing that I could come on here and have a laugh.
