I’ve been very impressed with the stallion station that stands him.
http://www.amethystacres.com/index.html I have also dealt with SO’s from h3!!
And if I can I like to use a repro clinic (Laurel Inc, in Marshall, VA) but it just didn’t work out this time and I decided to use the farm vet.
But Fed EX problems do happen. And LC problems. And miss communications between collecting vet and SO.
hey clanter - is it really attitude, or more like ego “I am beautiful, be hypnotized by my exotic looks and watch me, wherever I go and whatever I do?” I know my boy thinks he’s god’s gifts to ponies everywhere - male or female!
A BIG thanks COTH for the hospitality. I really enjoyed this BB I will be back to peruse those gems of wisdom on occasion. I have a new appreciation for eventers and your favorites section was a hoot.
Bye for now
Waiting at the loading dock for the mad rush home.
you are most likely right… both of ours …the Morgan more so… has A Can Do Attitude big time and just get out of my way and I will show you…
When we take him to Nationals and there are 1300 or 1400 Bays and Chestnuts and maybe three or four “others” … he can just walk down around the barns with a chip on his shoulder… he is hoot
The other is a mare that was rescued off a 4H summer riding program when she was too hard to handle for those kids… we have just worked her from ground up and she is coming around…but there is this I am different air about her
Hey Clanter … what are the Morgan Nationals like???
I’ve got a great Morgan here in WNY that I’ve been working with and is doing quite beautifully. Do they have dressage at the Nationals? Do you know what it takes to qualify?
Clanter, if it were not for a buckskin morgan, I would have stopped riding 25 years ago. I owned a horse that was scared of jumping, and my coach kept having us try - I didn’t know enough yet to stand up to my coach, (or fire her!) - so the horse and I ended up incredibly traumatised about jumping. At the time I was a hunt seat girl, and thought there was no point to riding without jumping. (People do change, don’t they???)
The one smart thing my coach did was to have me start riding John. Now, he did have that buckskin attitude - I wanted to put a sign on his stall that said “I’m John and you’re not!” - but my coach wouldn’t let me. But I rode him, and once I pointed him at the jumps he just took over and told me to settle back and hang on and he’d take care of the rest - and he did. I have pictures to this day that fill me with embarrassment/gratitude. I never did learn to jump well until I switched instructors, and after learning to jump (relatively) well I fell in love with dressage, and my idea of jumping became an occassional 2’ log pile in the woods, but to my dying day I will remember the wonderful buckskin in my past and hope he ended his days peacefully with lots of love and carrots.
I have NEVER known a bad dun (buckskin). And this is just a peculiar one of those things-- I’ve never known any one that knows of a bad dun. This stallion’s breeder is very well known over here as well. Lovely chap, lovely choice!!
I have a dun (buckskin) mare who is a delight. She’s almost 30 years old and no one has ever managed to fall off her. I just hope the Fed Ex delay didn’t mess things up.
It’s been a bad year…time for things to turn around
A heartfelt amen to that! (and can I see a piccie of her??? pleeeeze? Had a look through your photos-- excellent stuff!)
Dun and Buckskin are two different colors… similar looking, can be both, but are not the same color.
I’ve known a nutcase buckskin Morgan. I also know a wonderful dun han/tb.
With all the good news, I need to post mine LOL
You guys remember my dilemma about going to Greece or going to my program interviews?
And then I didn’t get in?
Well…
Drumroll please…
They are 98% sure of funding for 6 more students and I was by fluke at home this AM to receive a phonecall offering me a seat to start in august.
So, my loss of a trip to Greece seems to have been a gamble that is paying off.
Still not quite sure it is real yet…I am not going to believe it is until I have paid my tuition and received a letter confirming my enrolment…but what a way to start the ball rolling!!!
This is what happy people look like LOL (At the Calgary Stampede)
Drumroll please…
YAY for you!!!
THAT IS FANTASTIC NEWS!!! HURRAH!!! I am so happy for you!!
I am so doing a HAPPY DANCE for you!!! To give up your trip and not get in was heartbreaking. I will cross my fingers, dog’s paws, horse’s hooves that all goes smoothly for you.
I’ve always liked Gunsmoke, carol. Beeeeeaaautiful boy! Keeping fingers crossed you get that shipment.
Gunsmoke is fabulous looking, and I love his sire too.
Fingers crossed that the great Gods of postage are smiling down on your semen LOLOL
Chris…that’s wonderful
regarding Morgan Nationals … I need to check about the dressage part we have been in Western Pleasure and working Hunter for years seventeen I think…
Duns/Buckskins are a totally different animal …they seem to like each other but are always trying to out do the other
There is really an air of self confidence about them that they know they are different therfore they act differently…as they trot off flicking the hoofs , turn square up looking back and say…I am pretty good aren’t I…they are hoot
Suzy has been seen by the paparazzi leaving The Beatty Ford Clinic under her own power.
She was assisted into a cab for the ride home and appeared to be in good sprits (Jack Daniels was there to help)
She is supposed to head to work and should be there in a bit
Yippee!!!
I got Honey when she was 18 months old but she must have spent that time in Catholic school. If you tell her she is a BAD GIRL she just about cries.
I’ll have to see if I have an old picture of her, she’s pushing 30 and not as beautiful as she used to be.
