louise HIT ME NOW (haiku war)

Eventers go to
Horse Trials. Poor horse needs lawyer.
Free horse, no event.

No white on left, no
red on right, no wonder that
eventer is lost

See horse with blindfold
at event start box. Poor horse
does not want to look.

Its ok horsie
You will not have to wear that
pinney - yech - bad taste!

Eventers satis-
fied by men? But studs are all
in shoes! Sad sad soles.

Prozac Pony says,
“I’m so happy to see you -
Do you have my food?”

“It’s been hours and hours,
Days, weeks, and even months since
This horse has eaten.”


Approved helmet: Every ride; every time.

Eventer? No way
DQ? Don’t even go there
Not even NH

Style nouveau for us
An event all to ourselves
But what to call it?

No demolition
(though Camstock is inspiring)
No diamonds either

However…is that…
…a sheepskin fettish I see?
Silver number studs?

Ribbons bedecking
Sweet favourite new browband?
Bratty mare is glitzed

Our style? What to call?
“Tacky-smacky-crank-n-spank”!
Whiz by tiaras

Suzy, slc,
Velvet, and other DQs
Left in spangled dust

Mach 9 chosen gait
Maybe joining eventers
Not bad idea?

I love dressage BUT
it’s a part of the journey;
Not be all, end all

Don’t take life so seriously…it’s not permanent.

Do I remember
When my horse used to be sound?
It was long ago.

Odd steps here and there.
Suspensory ligament
doesn’t look so good.

“Some days are easy, like licking icing off a spoon. Today was more like stapling jell-o to a brick.”

oh dear gone three days
Kottas was kind to me
Frying pan wacked some folks though

Counting an issue
In tempi changes for some
Zig zags better now

Drat. Now see what you’ve
done? My mind is totally
stuck in haiku mode.

Today I must write
marketing correspondence
to keep the mare fed.

Yet how can I write
convincing letters, asking
for business, like this?

Dead grey mare in field
Wait! I saw her tail go swish
Just napping in sun.

Indecision may or may not be my problem.

DQs get last laugh?
How would you know we fall off
unless spectating?

Interesting sport
Eventing has spectators!
Dressage–empty stands…

Ah, but you are cute
How you obsess about all things!
You’re amusing pets

Great joy, defined, is
clearing the season’s first coop
on a well-schooled mare

Who halted at “X”
Then cleared the water jump
But now follows hounds

Rallying to the
Hunt horn’s cry, her ears pricked;
Tingling, eager

Hill, dale, and pasture
swallowed by effortless stride
Our hearts pound in sync

The music of hounds
echoing off autumn hills:
Pure pleasure shared!

Don’t take life so seriously…it’s not permanent.

Not on my horse we’re not!

Feathers surprises
To highlight deaths is as cheap
as us ripping bore

The rest I will buy
D encourages soundness
and longevity

But please consider:
The deaths-relatively few
but they are our friends

It’s 5-7-5, n’est-ce pas?

Enter sitting trot
At X salute buck rear fart
As spectators laugh

Horse related!

too tired after three day to
enjoy Hans, Lars, Rolf…

Cowgirl here to change
the tone. Want to know: how do
Eventer men rate?

Cowgirl thinks she needs
to embrace all disciplines
and literally.

My majestic horse
Soft liquid brown eyes so wise
My soulmate and friend

<BLOCKQUOTE class=“ip-ubbcode-quote”><font size="-1">quote:</font><HR> Sorry Risk Averse!
Called Prozac a dressage horse!
What was I thinking?

He is way too great
to be a dressage horse only
No death by circles <HR></BLOCKQUOTE>

Camstock likes P P
Risk-Averse Rider forgives
Can be friends again


Approved helmet: Every ride; every time.

Cowgirl’s dream man is
in ratcatcher clad As for
me I stick with Stock

SLC haiku
ROFLMAO
Suzy too funny

Eventers fall off,
Loose horse, long walk to start box
We pray for their soles.
