Too late…:lol: I don’t follow directions any better than PP does…:smiley: But I think some DQ… some where is having a little tear form in her eye for no apparent reason (much like the old Indian crying commercial) and a few heart palpitations.

He looks like he’s a little bit country… and a little bit rock and roll… :yes::yes: ( And deep down I covet your cow pad:winkgrin:)

My horsie and I had a wonderful lesson as well today and he had discovered a wonderful new grooming tool that he loves… the Nuzzler by Epona… a little brush like thing that has covered nubs over it to use as a massage tool. My horse LOVES it!! I was rubbing it all down his neck and on his rump and he was leaning in to me contorting his head or butt to find the right spot lip hanging down, licking his lips… when I would stop he would look at me like… “Less talking more rubbing with that thing!!!” We had a lovely jumping lesson where he is finally really using himself correctly and jumping nice and round. I had a light bulb moment about my leg position and balance and both me and horse seem to have turned a corner to head to the next step due to our respective epiphanies!! I love it when I can really see and feel progress being made in my riding. :yes: I was even feeling so brave I signed me and my daughter up for a local show in October. My daughter will show for sure but I will wait and see if I feel up to public humiliation yet. She is excited because showing is a “treat” for her. She doesn’t care if she does it a lot or if she wins but the occasional show is fun so she is really excited especially since trainer feels she is ready to move up to the 2’6" division this time. I am sooo excited!!

He needs a little sign that says “eat more chicken.”

Actually I think it is a steer…you can see his horns… but I honestly haven’t looked for “equipment” he\she\it is still young… but I’ll check for sure tomorrow…[/QUOTE]

OH NO! I know this is practically ancient history…but I must set the record straight…wouldn’t want the bovine to have any gender confusion. (ok…to be clear I only read a couple of pages ahead to see if someone had addressed this faux pas and didn’t see anything so if this has been covered I apologize.)

Any gender of bovine can have horns or not. So horns are not indicative of anything…other than you might want to watch out if it wants to use you as a scritching post. :eek:

And might I comment that I hope all is honky dory (sp?) in alterlicous’ world! I am sure I will find out more as I read along. I am soooo almost caught up to the real world! And I can not wait!!!

OMG…that was hard!! I told myself my first post wouldn’t be plagarized so here it is in all its glory…she is purple because I am feeling festive!! See yall in real time soon!!

ETA Funny…everything old is new again…I am reading about bovines from several months ago and here you guys are talking about cows…kinda.

You’ll soon learn to copy and paste or quote. It’s SO much easier than re-inventing the wheel or HSA.
Wish my lesson went as well as yours H-L. My horse is moving superbly after $$$$ of vet bills and meds. But now I have a groin pull that won’t go away. For some stupid reason, I thought only guys got groin pulls:lol: I had to jump off 10 minutes into my lesson and just let my trainer ride cuz I was cringing in pain. Maybe I need Adequan?

Well I hope your groin gets better… how exactly did you pull that muscle???:eek: Nevermind I don’t wanna know:lol::lol: Adequan won’t work on muscle pain as much what you need is some Bute!!!:lol::lol:

Well, I didn’t pull it doing anything exciting:D My horse likes to lean left, bulge left, etc. so one has to hold him up by pushing with the left thigh. I guess my 50 year old flabby thigh was no match against 1200 pounds of horse. And no way am I going to put ice there:lol: I just wish that Bextra wasn’t taken off the market. I don’t do well with ibuprofen or Celebrex. Maybe I should steal horsies’ Surpass-that worked well on my arthritic hands.
It sucks getting old:(

:lol: See below!

Geeses make lots of geese poop. I had the misfortune of getting some in the toe of my Birkenstock when I was 15. It sucked.

Ok I hope to post a continuation of story later… I went to see the BODIES exhibit in Cincinnati today and it was awesome. My friend taught me how to knit on the way up since my husband drove and now I have knitters cramp in my hands… I will let the spasms pass then try to post!!!

Horsie shows his appreciation by making something for HL…:no:

:lol: :lol: :lol:

Maybe you could knit horsie a loincloth in Crayola colors to hide his you-know-what?
And haven’t you been on the OR table for an awfully long time waiting for that new butt?

:lol::lol: Yes I have… and Amwriders now awake and floating and you guys have been stuck with the Parellities for a very very very long time…Oh Dear!!!

Humor me, I’m middle-aged. I remember Amwrider and the Parellites but I don’t remember seeing a picture of you with your new butt. Hopefully, it was made to measure for the new saddle:)
