Dear QHSM

[Beezer]

And she will take special care with them to ensure that they are directed to the proper human caretakers. Oh, and Chester … OF COURSE QHSM doesn’t want you to feel excluded from the sunscreen offer. Why, such a handsome, noble, white nose deserves the best!

“All you poor, poor, misunderstood, badly treated horses!” she was heard muttering to herself this morning. “Your owners should be ashamed of themselves for making you make do!”

I see trees of green, red roses too. I watch 'em bloom for me and for you. And I think to myself … what a wonderful world. Yes, what a wonderful world." – Louie Armstrong.

Must teach QHSM how to use her computer. Speaking on her behalf is beginning to make Beezer feel a little like a channeler…

I am indeed a very beautiful shade of chestnut. My Mom has mentioned you many times, so I know that you are too. We surely are very closely related, as another name for Polish Warmblood is Polish Trakehner.

I would be honored to act as your Uncle, as you are such a fine young man. You are quite correct, we Eastern Europeans must stick together.

Your notion to take good care of your sister, Portia, is a very good one. Those who love us, such as your Mom, love us with all their hearts, and they have more than enough room in those hearts to love more than one fine horse such as we are. We are very lucky to have found such love, and we must be sure that we return it. Your sister is young, and has many important lessons to learn, you can teach her.

Don’t forget, however, that you must also teach her and your Mom the importance of the HORSE. They must know that we reign supreme, with fire in our eyes, and sparks flying from our hooves. Just be sure you don’t hurt your Mom, while you are demonstrating this.

I am old, but, as you say, I am healthy and will have many good years left to be loved and cared for by my Mom. We do come from good stock, and can thus reward those who care for us with many years of our company.

And now, dear QHSM (and your most excellent channellor also), I too must beg your pardon for infringing upon your wonderful thread. Thank you for the very kind words that you said to me earlier, I can see why you are so beloved by so many.

Red Storm (who is now an Uncle!)

Oh, Piczazz! Mummy Did NOT bring me to Warrenton in time to see you be so beautiful! I did my best but it was my FIRST show EVER and I had to try my best without watching first how it should be done.

I did watch very closely the grown up horses jumping side saddle but it is VERY hard to learn when my Mummy has never had a nice filly like me to need someone to teach her just how things should be done.

There seems to be a problem with Persons over extending their abilities. The proofs of my lovely accomplishments in my FIRST show ever just arrived last Saturday.

Mummy was very excited that they came in the mail but she cried the next day when HN73 (who does ride sideways VERY nicely) gave her even nicer, more flattering photos of me in the ring at Warrenton. I knew that I liked HN73, even before she took lovely pictures of me!

I am wondering why the proofs had holes all poked through them and the pictures were only of the VA bred class and NONE showed me with the very nice man who showed me off to such advantage!

I am Rose Gray (Portia understands me very well)

A very changeable but glamourous color which requires quite an extensive and coordinated wardrobe which Mummy has NOT understood!

Can I tell Inverness’ Billy and HN73’s Bailey that they can write to QHSM? (Will it mean a delay in MY gifts?

I would so much like to have my lineage engraved (NOT STAMPED) on my nameplate: Proof Set by Mint Condition

OH! This is soooo much better than Charlie Brown! Honest, QHSM, I never believed in the Great Pumpkin!

I am Lucien. My mom uses the name “Portia” here, but Portia is really the name of my adopted sister, the gray mare who has the stall next to mine.

Portia is young and pretty, and a girl, and she goes to lots of shows so she gets lots of attention. She also asks for lots of attention by doing things like sticking her head out and making faces, and hanging her tongue out of the side of her mouth until she gets a cookie.

I am much older and more dignified, and do not beg the way she does. But somehow, I always seem to get treats at the same time she does, just by sticking my head out of my stall. I am distinguished looking and have a noble head, and come from fine old Trakehner stock.

I am a very good brother and son. When we’re turned out together, I make sure I protect Portia from all the other horses in the neighboring paddocks. She flirts a little too much sometimes, so she needs me to keep an eye on her.

I take excellent care of my mom, even when she messes things up and I have to say “just hold on, Mom, I’ll get you over it!” I do like to have a good joke once in a while, but it’s all in good fun. I know my job. My mom loves me and says we will be together forever, so I really don’t care how much attention the girl gets.

I really don’t want very much at all for Christmas. I have a nice trailer, though I don’t use it very often which is fine with me because I like to stay home most of the time. (Shows are fun, but not every week.) My mom doesn’t make me wear hand-me-downs, and buys me pretty much whatever I need. I also have a very nice teenager who takes care of me and rides me during the week when my mom is busy at the big office building. So, I’m not asking for much.

Except, if you could arrange it, I would like to get more than one pound of sweet feed per feeding. Everybody else gets much more than I do. Mom and Auntie Jo and Auntie Alex say it’s because I get pure alfalfa and not grass hay because I’m allergic to the other stuff, and too much grain makes me fat. But I look good with some meat on my bones, really I do. And I do love my Omolene 200.

I would also like my mom to make sure she keeps the cookies in stock all the time. Sometimes she forgets to buy the big bags of Apple Wafers and I have to go days without proper cookies.

So please remember that, Purina Omolene 200 for Lucien. And cookies.

Also, please ask my mom to stop calling me her “Little Sweetums Babykins” in public. I’m 14, and it’s embarassing when the guys hear it. (At least she doesn’t call me “Porky” or “Countess Porkula” like a certain over-sized grey horse I could name.)

Thank you very much, dear QHSM.

Your friend,

Lucien
