That’s cuz, PP, ‘we ain’t right.’
I really like the twinkle and bling on the pad - how did you do it??

That pad is awesome! DQ, if memory serves, isn’t Renn is trying to do something like that for Toothpick’s horse???
Gosh I think so - so, PP, fess up: how do you do that???:eek::yes:
(maybe she’s in school?)

My guess would either be iron on, or those stick on jewels you can get for phones, ipods, and such.
Iron on.:yes: I was at walmart yesterday, and I was looking for a patch of the Eiffel Tower, but I didn’t see any. But then I saw that, and thought it was perfect.
So maybe Michael’s would have it too…
It’s eye catching!!!
What does Paris think of it???
I don’t know yet. I haven’t gone out to the barn yet… Hopefully this won’t turn into even more of a prima donna than she is already.
As long as the bling does not blind her or her fellow horsies and riders
Big blingy ones!!
:lol::lol: Now that would be cute!
PP - exquisite. Not a peep, of course, or elegant embroidery that states “Ted the Peep 'Ho,” but still, very, very nice.
PP it is very cute I loff it… I personally would love to see one with a horsey in a little striped prison suit running… Since after my ordeal with my horse and having to hide him and stuff we changed his show name to … The Fugitive… (since ex-trainer was looking in every outhouse, hen house, town house for my horse:lol:)
As a side note… I had a awesome lesson today… I can really feel progress being made in my riding and in my horses movement thanks to new trainer!! Yippee!! I am looking more positive towards the local show I signed myself up for in October… I don’t have high hopes I just want to beat one of the little kids in pigtails that go flying around the arena thinking they are soo cool… I want to hold my ribbon and go :p:p:p:p:p Mature I know…but an adult (in age only not maturity:winkgrin:) can only be beaten by the wee ones so many times before they loose it completely:lol::lol::lol::lol:
Just as I finished my lesson storm clouds rolled in and an impending downpour started… not wanting to drive in the monsoon and since today was the kids first day of school so I had all day to myself (insert happy dance here:))I took the opportunity to clean my tack and pull Harry’s mane…
Now would be a good time to mention that I have NEVER pulled a mane before…:eek::eek::eek: Harry was looking like a Hippie and his feelings were getting hurt by the snickers that the other show ponies emitted from their stalls as he walked past… he was ashamed!! HONEST!! (ok so maybe I am anthropmorphizing a weeeeeee bit;)) Dear trainer took a minute to show me how it was done… I had a bag of carrots as a bribe and a stool…(He is 17.1 hands and I am 5’2 on a tall day) So I was set… tease…wrap… pull… carrot…tease…wrap…pull…carrot etc…etc…etc… Horsie is tolerating it fine I think I am doing a bang up job… I am just finishing up when a teen from the barn (a really nice girl… honest) looks at my work and says “OH MY GOD!!!” Then as I look around she sheepishly looks at me and changes her tone like she is talking to a toddler and says “Good for you for pulling his mane yourself…you did a …(long pause) nice job:eek:” Now through my keen powers of observation I felt she wasn’t being completely honest about the situation… So I did what any other grown adult would do… I whined…:lol: “OOOH NOO I RUINED IT DIDN’T I???” I ask horrified… “Welllllllllllllll” was the response I got… then a pause… a head cock… then a head cock the other direction like she is looking at a Picasso or something… “I think it can be salvaged” and as I say prayers to the Deity above for fixable errors Harry is looking at me in horror like " You messed up my do!!! Now I’ll get NO action with the mares!!!" or it could have been horror that the carrot bag was empty but I am going with the earlier thought. The very sweet teen promised that when she was done riding she would “fix it” for me and I would see a new Harry when I come back on Thursday.
So in honor of my first mane pulling fiasco… I have stick art!!

Harry: Georgio…
Georgio Maurice: Jes??
Harry: I have a mane emergency… my owner got happy with the pulling comb and I’m supposed to meet the new mare over the fence tonight… I need help I can’t be seen in the pasture like THIS!!! The other geldings will laugh… and say I have typical gelding pattern baldness … HELP HELP HELP!!!
Georgio: Velll I vil be over zer soon… I haz a Gypsy Vanner in my stall now and zoo know ow long ze take ze fezers ze are everywhere!!!
Harry: I don’t care as long as you get here before night turnout… I have the meantime covered with my covert disguise… please help!!
Georgio: I vill be zer in ze flash!!!
And that was my day so far… and I worked last night and haven’t been to bed yet… so the lesson learned is “friends don’t let friends pull manes tired”:yes:
Ps… It will grow back…right…:uhoh:
I think this can only be truly appreciated through photography. Too bad you couldn’t document the horror before the kind tween fixed it. I am sitting here giggling to myself. Or maybe that is the cup of coffee, the nutter butters, and the mondo diet coke i have had today…hmmm.
Just so I can share…I defend my thesis tomorrow at 9 am tomorrow morning!! :eek: (Which I hope explains my abysmal eating habits today.) Wish me luck!! I will be done in less than 24 hrs!!! HAPPY DANCE!

I know!!And I usually have my camera with me in case there is someone who can film my lesson for me but I left it at home today and my phone camera just wouldn’t do it justice… :lol:
Good luck tomorrow!!! I would be munching on oreos though :yes:
My husband just finished his Bachelors… with a 4.0!! I was so proud of him for going back to school…Now he wants to go on for his Masters once he finds a job in his new field!!! Yippee!!
That would be awesome!!
Someone should put a picture of GM with a Gypsy Vanner and put that as a caption.:lol:
Hey PP…
the tiara looks tres chic!
Thanks!

Harry later that night meeting new mare over the fence after Georgio left…
Harry: Hey babe… new to the pasture… do you graze here often???
New mare: Why is your mane blue??? Are those extensions… are you sure you even LIKE mares??? Maybe you need to come out of the tack closet??
~____:/`>.<_~
//\||_//__\
Harry: Georgio assured me blue was in… blue is a manly color… So what if I use a little show sheen every once in a while… a guy has to look his best I can assure you I go STRICTLY for the mares…
New Mare: Suuuuurrrrre…
Harry:Honest I’m as straight as a jumping bat honest!!!

HL…you are a genius!!! I can not stop giggling…
Congrats to your hubby! A 4.0?! Way to go!
So, in my defense this morning several of the professors got off topic. And my office mate (an avid cother) interrupted them by saying…“I don’t mean to hijack but…”
I almost lost it and would have ended up a giggling mess if I hadnt caught myself. All I could think about was…yay! As soon as this is done I can go get on coth…
Hi…my name is eyesontheground…and I am addicted to coth.
