You just HAVE to color in teddy bears with that one!
I’m not sure I like all of the new names, though, so many sound like items found in the cosmetic aisle!
Life is like a bowl of, oops, no – a BOX of crayons. Some are sharp and some are dull, some are pretty, some are fugly, but it’s no fun without a lot of variety.
I’m an original-64-color gal myself. I shunnnnn crayola changes. Manatee? REEEEALLY?
And I know and love Raw Umber and Burnt Sienna because… of course… those were the colors I used to draw HORSES!!! All I ever drew were horses. Silver (or, OK, sometimes gold) for the bit and stirrups. White for the bling. Maize for my hair. Ah it’s all coming back to me now… :yes:
P.S. BA don’t be fooled, you are in my thoughts, and I’m hoping for the best.
DQ would like to be Lazer Lemon please. 
Burnt Sienna and Raw Umber were the dullest crayons in my box too JoZ! Perfect horse colors!! :yes: :yes:

For the entertainment of all.
Sometimes mine got red saddles though…what was I thinking??:eek:
BA I do hope that the crayon trainer has heeded the restraining order.
I’ll play! And do my very best to get everyone’s colors right…I’m working from JoZ’s list of colors, which doesn’t quite match with what Wikipedia says, so if you would rather I do the Wikipedia list, then let me know and I’ll try to change it…

I wanna play too. I’ll be Yellow-orange cause my hair was that color once(another story)…
That should be enough to scare CCTL into leaving BA alone.:winkgrin:
I want RED!!!
Can I please be Maroon? Burgundy is my favorite color and that is as close as you get to that.
Okay, I’m in and joining the posse. Throw me the blue violet crayon…I LOFF blue!
Ooh! Ooh! I want to be silver
Periwinkle for me…I loff all things periwinkle. And I’m always up for a bus trip full of crazy women dressed as crayons :lol: :lol: :lol: If nothing else, you know there will be some good stories!
I don’t even know what color it is, but Bittersweet sounds like one I’d like… so sign me up!
OK, I’ll drop fuzzy wuzzy brown and be gold.
We need to all dress up in our colors, send a photo to someone, and make a collage.
May I Puhleeesseee be Salmon. Not Pink. Salmon. Puhleeeessseeee…
Oh and BA still sending jingles and hoping for the best!
I wanna be Mahogany!
It’s the color of my boy in the summer sunlight
BA - hope things are settling out… craziness.
Ooh, OOH! I wanna be green blue
Green Blue is my choice! I get to be 2 colors at once, wahoo!!
More seriously, I was going to reply on this thread early on that I just recently sent my broke 6 year old off for 30 days of “finishing” and riding out to a cowboy and his staff.
They rode her EVERY DAY. One day of some longing and some riding to evaluate, and the rest were work days.
At the end of 30 days, I could tell a difference and my horse was doing MORE and capable of MORE than she was when I dropped her off.
CCTL, that is the point of the matter. You were paid to RIDE the horse and IMPROVE it. You didn’t. The person who shovelled $$ over to you for this has a right to be upset about it. You, however, do not have a right to smash gates and other adolescent bs like that.
Oh, and to add to the list:
-not the sharpest tool in the shed
-A few screws short of a hardware store
-A burger short of a combo meal
-The gates are down and the lights are flashing, but the train isn’t coming
-Has an IQ of room temperature
-Couldn’t pour water out of a boot with instructions on the heel

I have always liked the Midnight Blue, I’ll be that one.[/QUOTE]
Shoot. That’s my favorite crayon. Can we share?
Did I miss an update from BA, or are we just playing?
Hi Ho VCT AWAAAAAAAYYYY!!!:lol:
Me? Share? OK, but how about I change to Navy Blue so I can be one of my barn colors?
Yeah, uh, um, that’s nice. But trully apples and oranges. The OP’s horse was not “30 days broke” when dropped off. He was BROKE TO DEATH, and cattle trained, and IIRC, traffic safe. I may only ride hunter/jumper, but I’ve got a pretty good idea of just how broke that horse is. Leading it around and tacking/untacking it for days is just plain STUPID. Just get on the bloody horse and RIDE it! Never mind being pleased as punch after “walking outside the round pen”. WOw, like that was such an accomplishment.
The ONLY time I had a horse in my barn that I DID not get RIGHT on was on a “mental holiday.” I was supposed to be riding her lightly, but she was getting balky and rude in her work as a school horse. I gave her 30 of her 60 days to decompress, as requested.
In your example, you asked questions and got legit answers. Sure, you might not have seen what was the ‘big deal’, but you got a real answer. Also, it’s not particularly odd to keep it simple and stick to walk/trot with a young/green horse. If she didn’t feel he was balanced enough to canter, than kudos to her for not doing it.
I once had my trainer on one of my horses. He was pretty good at ‘faking it’ back then. He’s well put together and just knows where to put his head. He’ll look awfully cute to the innocent bystander, but he’s lugging for sure. Well, lug o’matic was at it, to the point where my calm, pleasant trainer actually said to him out loud that “self-carriage is a requirement!” I almost peed my pants. Been there, done that, got the t-shirt.
The OP is probably more in the situation as I am. Perfectly capable of taking on customers but just doesn’t for what ever personal reasons. Well, that may change for BA, but what ever. One pro (or 'almost pro" going to another for additional assistance isn’t odd or unusual. But CCTL shouldn’t be trying to ‘snow’ anybody, reguardless of experience.
I do think at this point that she isn’t necessarily delusional, and she knows she’s a fraud. The hullaballo was to try to cover that fact so if she does have novice or just plain stupid customers she wants BA to look like she’s dumb. Didn’t work very well.
OH, BTW, I take melon. I like melon. I’m no good at those stick figure things, somebody please add me to the bus!
