@2DjogsFarm What in the holy lol is that?! That is the craziest clip job I have ever seen. Literal photo negative version of what I would expect for a functional working clip, much less for a sale? Legs and face and half a neck clipped? Were they going for a full body clip and roach and the clippers died? Did the person doing to job get abducted by aliens part way through? I have so many questions. Poor horse needs leg warmers and a balaclava.

If you knew Idjit, it almost makes sense.
Almost
Not the first time she’s done something with horses that makes you go

Does anyone make a pony-size Onesie?

[lenapesadie]

What in the Sam Hill is this malarkey? Looks more like vandalism than a clip job.

Any moron that was instructed to “shave the horse” could do better than this.

Carson City for a “silver” horse makes sense. Carson City, Nevada, and the Comstock Lode, silver mining; branch of the U.S. Mint established in Carson City.

Chronology of the Comstock Lode & Carson City Mint 1859 - Present

• 1859: The richest silver deposit in US history is found in the mountains near the town of Carson City. Discovered on property partly owned by Henry Comstock, it soon came to be known as the “Comstock Lode”. That very year, the bustling boomtown of Virginia City sprang up as miners poured in. Between 1860 and 1880, the Comstock produced nearly 7 million tons of ore.
• 1861: Lured by the riches of the Comstock, the U.S. admits Nevada as a territory, with Carson City as its capitol. Also in 1861, Samuel Clemens deserted from the Confederate Army to seek his fortune in Nevada. He failed as a miner, but instead went to work for a Virginia City newspaper in 1862, and changed his name to Mark Twain in 1863.
• 1863: Desperate for money to finance the Civil War, Congress passes a law authorizing a territorial mint to be built in Nevada.
• 1864: President Lincoln admits Nevada into the Union - despite the fact that Nevada did not have enough people to qualify for admission under the Constitution! Thus, explaining the state’s motto, “Battle Born”.
• 1866: Carson City is chosen as the site for the new U.S. Mint, and the cornerstone is laid on Sept. 24th.
• 1868: Rolling mills and other blanking equipment are shipped around the horn of South America to the new Nevada mint.
• 1869: Coin Press #1 is built in Philadelphia by Morgan & Orr, then shipped to Carson City, NV. Weighing 12,000 pounds, it’s capable of striking 1,500 silver dollars per hour. It is believed to have been used to strike the first Carson City silver dollars, along with Double Eagles in 1870. The press resides in the Carson City Mint museum, and it’s currently being used to mint commemorative medals.

This is a Most Particular kind of “maroon”
Mare goes to the agent Tuesday.
I’ll report back on how she’s received.
My guess is

[lenapesadie]

Maybe rejected instead of received.

Thanks for the laugh though.

[2DogsFarm]

Oh… Mare will be accepted
But extensive renovation will be done prior to the sale.
Grapevine tells me if no buyer at the sale, mare will be sold locally (by same agent) for whatever he can get.

[lenapesadie]

Maybe he can get a wig to cover that bridle path hack job. Lol. But maybe the long bridle path is the standard for that breed?

[2DogsFarm]

Wig!
Sadly, that is so NOT an acceptable length for the bridle path.
This verified by my 3rd generation Hackney breeding & showing neighbor.
His first disgusted comment was re: that bridle path.
For reference:

[SonnysMom]

Any chance they can register ?it in Maine In our area of SE PA some people register their trailers in Maine. I think it saves on registration fees and needing to have it PA inspected yearly. Personally I like having my trailer inspected.

[JBCool]

Solved the “bridle path” issue Not sure about the legs, though. Poor pony!

Happy birthday to the sweetest, dopiest mare I’ve ever known. She’s 5. And so begins my least favorite baby year…

[Heinz_57]

5 is the devil year… but she looks pretty innocent.
I am grateful mine is turning 7 this year. He’s still a cheeky brat, but at least his marbles now stay in his head more often than not. 5 was hell.

[signmypapyrus]

Happy birthday! How adorable!

[shiloh]

OMG. They are so cute with their birthday hats.

[endlessclimb]

The one on the right isn’t mine, but he is part of the “Three Amigos” that do everything together so he got included lol

Far left and far right are 24 year old geldings, who are her best friends (and tolerate her stupid antics, are fair with discipline when deserved, and probably wouldn’t associate with her if they were given much of a choice lol)

[signmypapyrus]

Horse birthday parties are so fun! Everyone should give their horse at least birthday party.

Narrowly avoided a self inflicted disaster this evening. I was shredding old papers and leaned over the shredder for something and almost caught the drawstring on my hoodie, it was touching the feeder not to mention my long hair. It could have been really ugly. I never fail to amuse myself Be careful out there!
