* (Super-fun horsey stick art!!)

[horse-loverz]

Well I rode today but before I did I turned Stoker out in the arena… I got a great idea of just how full of himself he his when he pulled this routine with the mirrors in the arena…

HL-Apparently your horse is a ham…

Bashirah really likes her own reflection, too. I can almost see a little puffy balloon over her head sometimes, that should read…“Mirror, Mirror on the wall-who’s the loveliest filly of them all”…

…______

and then she would say “Why you are, Bashirah”… and bat those long horsey lashes. While I just stand there, carrot in hand, rolling my eyes.

Nice smoking unicorn, BTW. (???):lol:

This is Sophie the Saddlebred Rescue mare when I adopted her in October. Sophie was not getting adopted because Sophie was fugly and had crooked legs.

This is Sophie the Saddlebred Rescue mare in November, giving lessons to my wee little riders. She is very sound for a crooked legged former Amish horse.

Too cute!!!

[Amwrider]

Tessa was born at around 11:15 -11:30 last night. I went out to the barn at 11:45 and found her trying to stand up already.

Momma Sophie was acting very restless, she did pass the afterbirth but was still crampy. We watched ehr and called the vet out, Sophie was tubed and oiled at about 4 am and was checked out by the vet, she was clean and everything seemed good, just a little colic. She still hasn’t passed manure though but is comfortable now.

Gotta go now…naptime.

[ChocoMare]

Oh AMW!! She’s just loverly

Ok, this Couch Critic is gonna try a little Stick Art. It’ll be pitiful, but here goes anyway.

Since this amazing thread is approaching its First Postday, I thought I’d quote BeastieSlave’s explanation for the * and thus let the newbies in on how this whole shebang got started.

@BeastieSlave;2348183

Ah yes. The original post was a request for some ‘special’ sales contract help. Noone responded and very few people even viewed it. I went ahead and did the contract the best I could and sent it off. At that point, I figured it was best to omit the original post because I might have to harm myself if someone posted with some fabulous thing to put in the contract after it was sent off.

This is better than anything I could have imagined. We have some very talented people on the BB. I’d buy a book with this stuff in it :yes:
