Word to the Wise: Lesson Reminder for Everyone

You down with OPP*, yeah, you know me!

*(Other Poster’s Pony)

[QUOTE=Beentheredonethat;8109448]
I TOTALLY did not out her real name. Whoever is posting as PonyOwner is NOT the PO we’re talking about.[/QUOTE]

And just how do you know which one is the “real” PO? What language is she speaking in? Have you seen the saddle in question?

Don’t eat the pferde at the buffets in vegas!

Come on!!! I’m on foal watch and I NEED a full fledged trainwreck! Serious.

I wish Apassionato would show up so I could yell “ASS PANTS!”. This thread could use an ass pants infusion.[/QUOTE]

And some sabotash, too.

[QUOTE=Coanteen;8107879]
Yeah! Stick with the Pferde![/QUOTE]

Nein, nein! Do not eat the Pferde! (which is why we warmbloods stay out of Canada.)

Eat at the salad buffet. And drink a lot.

I found a picture of the pony .

Wowza, he must be at least 13hh!:lol:

Blueberry is Valegro’s barn name.

I feel very bad for the OP in a way because I don’t think I was firm enough before she drove down. I should have told her to come by herself with one child. Instead I wasn’t strong enough. I have made many mistakes. Sometimes I get very uptight and it shows and I do things I should not do. BTDT is trying to make me sound like a saint, but I am not. That is why I changed the information in my profile.

Meanwhile I am trying to decide whether to root for Valegro as my favorite or go with a new one.

There are so many places to eat in Vegas. For anyone else who is there and has not met me yet, I highly recommend Viva Zapata’s. It is a bit of a drive from the strip but it well worth it. The food is very reasonably priced and the tortillas are very good. You can watch them being made fresh right next to the dining area.

Anything on the menu is good.They open early so you can get lunch today and still get back in time to watch the dressage.

Edited to add: they are open at 10am today.

3826 E Craig Rd, North Las Vegas, NV 89030
Phone (702) 643-8888[/QUOTE]

So, BTDT, these are the words of the imPOster, and not the “accused”? These words were not written by your World Cup pal?

You did say that the IRL PO was in LV, NV at the WC at T&M with you, right?

But PonyOwner is definitely not the PO?

OK!

Please don’t order the Pferde Pie at Viva Zapata’s.
Nor the burrito…eating burros is bad also!

Ist the pony in Vegas also? Come on pony, join the thread and tell us your take on the OP and her family, the trailer, and the saddle. If the saddle is the one from the Mexican bandito, then the price might be worth it.

Dammit, now I want guacamole but I have no avocados that are ripe yet.

Whoever is PO clearly knows that the real PO is at the WC and has been introducing details about LV in an effort to seem like she’s there. I don’t really get why whoever is posting as PO is doing that. You can be Aunt Ester-like without seeming like a quasi-stalker, but there you have it. PO only seems to know 2 facts about the real PO-- she’s foreign and at the WC. PO weaves those facts in whenever she gets a chance. But the fact that she keep using those same details over and over suggests to me that it’s not the real PO. The real PO knows a lot more identifying facts about herself and the situation than her native language and current location :wink:

I also don’t think the timing works out particularly well for someone who is supposed to be on the west coast. Or someone who is watching WC events. Unless she’s decided to get up in the wee hours and skip watching the WC just so she can follow this thread. I don’t think that’s likely.

The details PO has posted are in essence the name of a LV restaurant and some comments about the MOST FAMOUS horses that are there. Any horse person with a functional google-o-meter could easily come up with those details.

Something you can’t easily google :wink:

Can I just chime in to say that I am so glad this lovely pony did not go to someone who has to save up for vet appointments for a rescue horse? It isn’t like you go into rescuing a horse that is underweight without thinking there may be a vet call or 10 before it is said and done.

I have to say, if someone asked me for a pony, older, free, giveaway, etc. with no health issues because they had a rescue horse who was taking up their extra vet money, and they wanted something which they wouldn’t have to spend vet money on, I would give the old eye rolly thing. I mean, really. If you want a pony that bad for your children, because that’s what your family needs at this time, what the heck are you doing with a rescue horse? I mean, the kids are little! fix up the rescue horse, sell it on, and get a pony when they are older. Its sort a no brainer. I just choke on “Anybody have a free pony we can have? We cant afford to buy one, but we’d just LOVE it if anyone will GIVE us one! We’d just LOVE to have it in the yard for the kids to play with. And, if we needed money for its upkeep, we’d use it for pony parties in the neighborhood, so its all good! Just make sure its healthy and doesn’t need vet care, cause we can’t afford that. PM me! You won’t be sorry! Promise!”

No it’s heat.her

Ok, I am lost and need to ask for direction. Would someone please PM me with the name of who the real PO is?

I am enjoying this thread very much, but I think knowing whom the real PO is would add even more flavour to it!

Thanks!

Thanks all. Over the course of this thread I have ruined my diet. And my liver hurts.
