Also, does anyone have any tips on how to avoid messing my do (and horse’s do) when we stick our heads out of the Lear’s sunroof to gawk at the crowds outside the prom. I don’t want to turn up looking mussed. Not unless the tripod is sooper cute…Does he look like the guy who plays Sawyer in Lost?
So I’ve had made about a dozen cheval pies when the 13th one came out burned. I can’t seem to fix it so I’m calling the vet and farrier out ASAP. Until they get here I’m going to put some BOSS on it. Do you think it will recover?? Please please help me! Or fly spray, will that help? Any one have a good fly spray I could try?

OK, I got a new saddle (cause my old one was too wide, too narrow, too big, too little, too old, too new and too cheap) to use on my yearling philly for the dressige ride. You don’t think it has too much “Bling”, do you?
It’s a one size fits all … how could I go wrong?!
my new saddle </div></BLOCKQUOTE>
Long leaf… dying to know more about your mare, check your PT’s!
And, just to be fair to this thread, I will be more than happy to test ride her at the I-40 parade!!

I vote for North Dakota…I want to see the tripods repelling off the face of the presidents on Mount Rushmore!!! View from below should be spectacular as they crest George’s nose!! </div></BLOCKQUOTE>
Mt Rushmore is in South Dakota, luv. There’s not much in North Dakota except North Dakotans, and they’re few and far between. It would be the ideal place for the prom, since the likelihood of anyone interfering or trying to distract the tripods is slim.
BTW, d’you know how Montana won the war with North Dakota?
The NoDaks threw grenades at us, we pulled the pins and threw 'em back.

I’ve got a question for the experts.
I’m looking for a farmette for my horses, dogs and me. I have seven horses and have so far been looking a local real estate with two or three acres attached, as I can’t be in animal friendly zoning in my county, close to my job, shopping and entertainment, and still find an affordable place that is any bigger.
Well, I think I’ve found something that would be perfect for all of us. It’s three acres of woods, no fences yet, no barns, no urban style utilities (I would need to drill my own well and run lines for all the electricity) and I’d need to live in a doublewide. There are only two problems with this place–you don’t have county road frontage (have to drive through someone else’s property to get there), and it’s low. I’ve only seen it in this year’s drought, so it doesn’t look boggy; but it is in the flood zone of a very large river
They are only asking 20K per acre for the three acres; and I’d need to do major work before all seven horses could move in: put in fences, water, etc., etc., along with getting the doublewide in place. Horses don’t need pasture to live on, do they? They can eat the cypress trees and palmettos that grow on the land now, can’t they? I wouldn’t be able to afford year round hay for seven horses.
Good deal or no?
BTW, I’ve checked into fencing and it looks like all I’ll be able to afford is barbed wire and metal posts. I wouldn’t be able to afford shelter for the horses for a couple of years, but there are plenty of trees for them to shelter under. But then they would have home made run-ins.
So what do you guys think? Should I go for it? </div></BLOCKQUOTE>
You are moving to AIKEN SC!!! 
Came up for a breather… I’m here to tell you, my recitation of Keats had nothing to do with igniting hubby’s passions. Box scores, on the other hand…
I’m in Wellington (bottom of North Island). Who’s your friend? I probably know them - there’s only 4 million people here after all.
Just say the word and I’ll have smegma coolers and cookout all ready. I’m keeping Johnny Depp for myself though. He keeps muttering about going back to his family, but I just hand him another BOSS / Smegma flax seed cookie and he shuts right up.
Hey, how are we letting this thread get down to almost the bottom of the page???
For the past 24 hours, its been at the top.
Come on people!!! If you really want to help the OP, you will keep this in the top slot!

ATR, why are you trying to trip the hay guy? Just ask him to come along - you don’t have to trip him!

Puleeeeezzze Delapp, you didn’t ask us to also tell you what size you need. For heaven’s sake get your post complete before you hit the “post now” button! Aren’t you 5’12" and weight 74 lbs.? If that’s correct, I’d say you need size aneroxic.
grasshoper - has anyone given you a nickname yet? cause i don’t think you need one. i thnk you need an accent while saying your current one…think karate kid movies…
haha! now every time someone sees your post, they will think ‘grass-hoppa’ with an accent!
and duh. we were trying to keep the austin powers movie under wraps. now you’ve ruined it! duh!
is it time for a title change yet?
that photo is hilarius. i think its mcms family portrait from when she was little…
jetsmom…Puleeeease…what are you on?

My horse, Pees O’Sheet is a 22.87 hh German Gutenbergblood and we will be riding in 2 saddle because my BNT said I had to-they are hers, so I am sure they are Hermes and are made of salamander skin. Studded of course.
And DUH! The judges will let me win cuz IT’S MY SHOW!
<span class=“ev_code_PURPLE”>On a serious note, at the barn today, Jen22 was riding as I was handwalking Rothina and I was playing the role of a BNT and Whooping and holding the gate for 2 hours and screaming at the judges to notice my rider</span>
Wooohooo!! Finally I am able to post!!!
Even Table and DeLapDance – Of course my saddles fit!!! Well, they fit me at least…don’t have a horse anymore! L So I am the coolest!!! And when I do get a horse, I will buy it only if it fits the saddles I have! 
Were your legs braided and with what color yarn?
Damn, sorry bout missing you there Snap”"I am having a hard time seeing with the overflow on top of the trailer hanging over my windshield. Right now I am driving only with my sense of smell, and since I do not smell fillyburgers or CAB I can only assume we are not there yet.
Do not worry about bringing the sidewalk chalk for drawing out the tests-I stopped at Sams club and bought them out, so there are now 3960 buckets of sidewalk chalk balancing precariously on top of the rescues on top of the trailer.
Oh and we lost some time when this damn Camoose of mine had another baby-twins-can you believe it? I am sure they will be worth close to a million dollars, especially once their humps develop. Jen22 of the WTD tranter fame will be thrilled to see Camoose K’s babies.
I also picked up a rarity that is sure to be all the rage in the future”"it is a breed I am unfamiliar of. It is the Foundation Hillbilly Breed and evidently the traits you look for are missing teeth, the affinity to drink anything with alcohol in it (and NOT just beverages), and a stench you cannot quite put your finger on… Evidently it is ok that the foals are born with teeth, but the more teeth that fall out as they age, the more valuable they are.
My Camoose was not thrilled with this addition-I had to put him in the trailer instead of on top because he is very valuable and I can not risk the rescue horses breathing their common germs on him. My Camoose lunged and tried to kill my HB (Hillbilly Breed) just because he tried to eat her babies. She is so damned moody-do you think paprika will help with that?
I am going to be standing my new HB so make sure you check him out down at the festival-and keep an eye out for his babies in the show ring a few years from now-you will be able to recognize them my their sunken in lips from lack of teeth, and definitely by smell.
Findeight- I feel your pain! I think you should send your parents to the op’s trainer for a pep talk. He will surely convince them to buy you more horses and they will be so cozy next to his fireplace.
As for your amateur problem, I’m sorry I don’t know how to help, you sound like you are worked to the bone for nothing! I would throw a hissy fit for sure!
I think we should have the prom in West Virginia! I don’t think I could go to one of the dakotas…that’s kind of far away! Or how about New Jersey? We could have it at the Jersey Shore!!
So if I get a judge comment like “failed to halt promptly at G”, I should ignore it, because he obviously has no idea of where G is? I like this idea. Do most male dressage judges know where A, C, F, M, H and K are?
