Hi Mary-Joe - where are you located? I am interested in that saddle.. could you send me pictures? ( email is dbrowning (at) essandea.com )
Thanks!! Danielle

Thankyou for your lovley comments Mary joe. I havent been on here lately and was reminded about his site from a barnmice member who posted on an Australian Forum about the bushfires.
I love my andy x we have plenty of ups and downs but he always manages to make me smile. Wouldnt trade him for the world.
Is that a buckskin I saw in photos? I have a real soft spot for them!

Hello, I have a beautifu baroque style Friesian/Warmblood mare for sale that really needs to find a good Dressage home. I am just trying to put the word out. I am an eventer and she would be much better off in a Dressage home. If anyone knows someone that might be interested she is on my website www.ptfponypower.com . Thanks

Hi Mary-Joe, I do have a good hauler that has brought and taken many horses for me through Cnada and he travels to the US. I do also have a DVD of her that I can send to anyone interested. I just hate to see her going to waste:) Thanks for helping get the word out about her. She is a nice mare, too nice to be wasted on a silly eventer like me:)

Hi Mary-Joe, our moderators deleted that member, as they were posting ads. Sorry for the inconvenience and hope you have a great weekend!

Hi Mary Joe,
Yes I am the same person that tested you. I heard you were boarding at Carols. I think I saw you at the Goldenwoods dressage show? I was there with some of my students.
Are you having a good season?

I was busy with my students, a couple of horses first time out and a couple of green riders I had my hands full.

Thanks for taking the time to leave me that message ..
Ohhhhh my gosh Mary-Joe ... we have our "Moms" in common.
After falling a little over a year ago, and fracturing both her hips, my Mom has gone from bad to worse and we finally made the Very painful decision to place her in a full care facility ... the last time I visited, she didn't even know me ... it really hurt.
You're Right my friend ... it really puts into perspective how short our days honestly are ... and for me ... that we need to live each day as Best we can, to the Fullest... Delight in our accomplishments and ...NEVER ...allow regrets, or ANY Negative .. to steal our hopes, and dreams ... Our Rainbows!!!
(of course ... it's always easy to say the positive stuff, not always as easy to live it ..*wink* )

It is Good horse country here, I'll try to post some pics when I honestly figure out how ... *laughing* ... so far I've posted one pic of a welsh cross pony I had nearly 50 years ago, it was for a thread I saw ... something about "Your First Pony" ... but silly me ... now I can't for the life of me Find The darn Thread to post the pic and make my comment!!!
....I'd certainly Love to get up in Your direction of the world one day.

Hi Barbara

You are very welcome to come up, as long as you let me invite myself down to your neck of the woods one day. I live in Milton, Ontario which is north of Toronto. The Region is called Halton and it boasts one of the more lovely picturesque areas. Halton is a big horse country that is why I live here. It also boasts the Niagara Escarpment which is a protected green belt with fauna and flora. Milton is a small town and growing, (and everybody seems to be discovering it of late). I hate it when that happens. Anyway within 5 minutes I am out in the country. I plan to buy a small horse property (provided I win the lottery when I retire. (I keep dreaming).

Cheers

Mary-Joe

Hi Mary-Joe, I looked all over and can't find the video I think I leant it to someone. I'm sure you can find it on Google. Oh, my horse Ryn has very interesting markings, in that picture he does look like a buckskin but he is actually a dun with a grey dorsal stripe, also champagne colored legs and dappling allover his body, light in some areas. His mane and tail is silver. His dam was a champagne mahogany chestnut and his sire is a dun with amber eyes and a silver mane and tail. In my breeding program when I was still breeding morgans I bred for this plus the temperament they carry, and when I quit I didn't realize what I had and gelded them. Talk about kick myself around the block. Anyway, the most important thing is how sweet they are and how trainable too.

Hi Mary-Joe,
Your name just seemed to pop up on the page I was looking at!

Thanks for the compliments & your gelding is very handsome too. I love his dark points; will they stay?

I'm hoping to do my mentoring at the Pickering Horse Centre since it's not too far a drive and there should be lots of opportunity to observe given the large lesson program. Will let you know how I make out ;-)

Yes, I'm on Face Book too!

Take care,
Julie

Thankyou for starting the Baroque horse page... Cheryl

Any shows this year, Mary-Joe? Your horse is so handsome! :)

I've been in the same situation many times. Keep working at it and I know you'll get there!

HI Mary-Joe,
The I-Mat interlocking tiles are made from recylced rubber tires that interlock to look like real I-tile pavers. We have a special on these tiles, sorry, try this email to get in touch with me and I can give you more details! laurie@softstall.com
also you can view pictures on the website at www.softstall.com
look forward to hearing from you!
Thanks!

Hi Mary-Joe, The I-Mat tiles are designed to replicate interlocking stone, specifically for use in washstalls and walkways such as barn aisles and outdoor walkway applications. These tiles insulate and provide a non-slip floor for your horse to safely walk on. These extremely durable tiles last for years and years.

As far as your stall goes, SoftStall is the choice to use for this application, to create a therapeutic bed, a non-slip, comfortable bed for your horse to lay on. A 10 x 12 stall goes for $700 per stall. You can email me directly for more information. Shipping and installation are not included.

No problem Mary-Joe, yes it is removable! keep my email on file, or you can just go to the website and fill in the info request, it will come to me.
thanks!

What a wonderful horse!  Mare, gelding or stallion?  I love the personalities and dispositions of the Iberian horses.  Our 5 year old S/P mare is the official greeter at the farm.  She is so social to the point of being nosy, but so sweet.  She will be bred to Pavon this year.

I read your info and apologize for not knowing he is a gelding.  We are in central Indiana, but Pavon was bred and born near Winipeg, Canada.  I'm so thrilled to have him and enjoy the wonderful foals he is producing.

My friend has a Lusitano and he is beautiful. She competes in Dressage with him. He was imported from Brasil and was a Stallion for 8 years before being Gelded.

 

Yes, and they do it in very good humor, too!
