Yup!:smiley: Maybe I’m just easily amused, but your reaction is making me giggle. Maybe it’s the ā€œ:dead:ā€ that’s making me laugh.

ETA: ok, now that I look at that smiley with " " around it, it looks like a dead frutbat.

LOL dead fruitbat.

I saw the new Indiana Jones movie over the weekend. If you are a fan of the original movie you will really like it, it was great!

But can’t be as funny as Chief Chaffed Ding Dong and The high Princess Chaffed Who Ha Haa!!!

LMAO!!!

DGRH comes, after the torrential rains, to see her horse, Ted.

HL having most excellent lesson today…

HL even gets brave and takes her horsie out on a bit of a hack in the pasture… This may sound like a minor thing but this was our first hack outside a ring ever!! He was being so good I was in a brave mood and we took a little hack around the pasture near the barn with me telling Trainer if she sees horse running free to come look for me:D. Our previous barn didn’t have a good place to hack, unless you wanted to go alone to a wooded area in the back 40 for the first time trail ride on an OTTB… OOOH where do I sign up for THAT ride:lol:

Horsie was very very good on the hack… but he saw it more as a sneaky grazing opportunity…:lol: He is so laid back and happy and relaxed it’s like having a different horse. During my daughters lesson last week a lady who owns the TB farm next door was watching him pack my daughter around the ring and made the comment ā€œWell that looks like a been there done that school horse what a good guyā€ My new trainer laughed and said ā€œActually he’s a young still green OTTBā€ The lady was very surprised and said ā€œIf that’s how he is green I would love to see how he is finished!ā€ That made me feel so good inside about my daughter and my horse. It’s times like that and the bonding time we had today that make all the heck I went through with this guy more and more worth it. This is my forever horse and I just loff him more and more as time goes on. And our time ā€œoffā€ in hiding really really strengthened our bond I think.

Oh well enough about that time to think on a new addition to the story… I am going to see the actual movie on Thursday so I may get additional inspiration. I haven’t slept yet today… Have been up since…oooooh 4pm yesterday so not so sure how coherent a story I could type up… but the brain is working… thinking…[I]HL wonders where all that smoke is comming from[/I]:lol::lol:

That must have been a great feeling, to have someone compliment your horse and daughter like that.:yes:

HL, if you are reading this now - GO TO BED!

Bump!

HL going to sleep…:yes:

LOL! Well, once I am gone I will have no control over what my family deems appropriate funeral music. For all I know they will play ā€œDing Dong the Witch is Deadā€ :lol:

H-L :

Isn’t it the best? You know how much of a weenie I was about riding out in the open. Now picture this ~

Linda and Stitch are doing Cross Country!!! And trail riding around the neighborhood. And schooling in the open field. It’s now our preference. :smiley:

What a difference it makes when you take control of your horse and their care, etc. The bond is amazing. :slight_smile:

:lol: :lol: :lol:
