Ultimatedressage.com - can you get in???

Yep-- pages ago! :smiley: She came back after about 21 or 22 hours. Pippin was gone 63. Lots of people helped him get home-- it is really a GOOD story.

Yahoo…nothing makes you feel more sick than calling after your dogs!!!
I am soooo happy they are home and a little worse for wear.
Don’t ya just want to spank em??:no: YES

We should do either boogers or pink ladies! And I have that song running through myhead as well-- that and, heaven help me, summer lovin! Badum badum badum lalala la! And I am off to ride… poor the Moo. Oh well, gotta listen to “Embraceable You” on the way up-- her walk.

Hototrot

Moo sent me an email saying is no keen about hearing Summer Loving over and over and over and over and over again…he is asking me to find him a green card and SS#

just a heads up

Nah, My gal is a true-blue Brit! No fear! I promised to take her to Harrods and down Bond street for some shopping and like an exocet, she was there!

Here you all are!

Glad to find some of the “refugees” so to speak!

Good to see you Sac - how is Jedders!

Holy cow…

Sheesh sac we have all been sitting on pins and needles wondering how Jedders is. So what is the latest?

YAAAAAAAAAAY FOR SAC AND JEDDERS!!! I am SO HAPPY TO SEE YOU!!!

Thank you soooo much! I’ve been dying to say that for ages now!!! And I was very good-- the whole family including (especially) Moo enjoyed the Moon Pies! You should have seen her face with them-- upper lip going, eyes shutting! I thought that heaven was in the bag of Corn Nuts-- how scrummy are they-- and the Koolaide! I really don’t know how to thank you enough!

Trouble is,now the family wants to move Stateside! And I guess live on snack food!

HOW ARE YOU AND JEDDERS???
Honestly00 now I’ve got your address, just keep your eyes posted!

Jedders is–apparently–fine. I decided during the “great meltdown of 2006” (the weekend that he came down sick, again!) that I was not going to worry about it anymore. He was either going to make it or not. All I could do was treat symptomatically anyway so I didn’t even bother to send the bloodwork off. I only gave him the banamine the one day and a half a dose at that. The swelling came and went, but never abcessed. And two to three days later I heard my husband’s horse give a couple of good coughs…nothing could have ever sounded as sweet as those coughs! My husband thought I was nuts for being excited that his horse was sick, but it appears as though the impossible happened. Jedders tooth issue caused the swelling and the fever was a coincidental result of an unrelated issue.

It is never a dull day around that horse. And he’s not even under saddle yet. :winkgrin:

How’s everyone else doing?

Walking the fence line nickering at every passing human…. looking for the way home

Well the Gunsmoke semen that was supposed to arrive at Kinko’s at (:30 arrived at 12:30. Had to postpone my vet apt so by the time the vet got here my mare had ovulated. :cry: :cry: :cry: :cry:
It’s been a horrible year.

Hello Miss Jedders, I am so happy Jeddaih is doing well. I think he will be a doll under saddle and bonded to you like no other. Just wait to back him until he ils old enough- 3 1/2 to 4 based on bone formation and have a blast before then doing all kind of silly things with him.

What happened to the rescued Arab Touring and I met? Was a lovely horse.

carolprudm–it seems as though most of my breeder friends have been having challenges this year. We’re breeding for our first baby and I was disappointed when the mare didn’t settle after she was bred the first time. And of course that call came the day that Jedders fell ill again. Day 16 after she was bred the second time is next Tuesday. I am keeping my fingers and toes crossed until then, so I can do the same for you in the meantime. At least I don’t have to wait for delivery at Kinko’s though, that part has got to be miserable. I’ve been driving a couple of hundred miles round trip to pick up the semen myself which isn’t much fun either, but I couldn’t imagine trying to coordinate with a shipper AND the vet. :frowning:

If she is in foal…I don’t think I can stand the wait. This is going to be one of the longest winters EVER!

Karoline! Hope you’ve been well! The rescue Arab is fat and much happier these days. I signed our ownership of him over to the friend that helped rescue him and he is permanently on “loan” to her niece who thinks the sun rises and sets with him. She and her friends ride him and spend the rest of their day brushing him for HOURS at a time. And he just stands there with big doe-y eyes. It was the best possible placement for him I think we could ever hope for. And if her niece ever tires of him, he has a home for life with my friend.

one nice thing about here is the ignore button.

Feel free to stay past UDBB opening.

We need new blood.

I’m glad Jedders is OK now. It’s amazing how much worries babies can be- even once they get older.

I’m also feeling like I’m pacing the fenceline. And it’s raining (again/still). I have more mud (again/still). I could be depressed if I weren’t so determined not to be.

Caution pitty party, i’m feeling pretty discouraged

Most of the time Fed Ex is reliable. This time they blew it. I suppose there is a slight chance, Lotty’s cervix was still open. Bred Miss Money Pit LC for 5 cycles, we’ll check her the 24th. Bonnie seems to be in foal, her foal this may was stillborn at 360 days.

I think the weather has been so bad almost everywhere that the mares are confused this year. An awful lot of people seem to be having a hard time. I’m really glad my barn is full and I didn’t breed last year and am not this year, either.

I’m totally agreeing with this! It is fun to have new personalities and different views!

You all may be stuck with us! UDBB is still silent. I’d be interested to know how many new members have signed on here…
