Was tent pegging created to help develop the skills of pig hunters. I think I recall reading somewhere that pigs were hunted from horseback in India.
Love to hear of any news or events in Ontario, I think this might be fun to do with my retired polo pony.

It warmed up here (interior of BC) to 0 degrees today - positively balmy! We had some windchill, but riding was a breeze (excuse the pun!) compared to earlier in the week, when it was -18 before we factored in the windchill. Given that my arena's open on three sides the windchill can be significant, but I put two electric infrared patio heaters in my tacking up stall, and they make a HUGE difference.

I suppose that given the heat at work for you right now the cold at the farm is a relief?? Keep the faith, Akaash, you're doing good work, and lots of us out there recognize it and are thankful for it.

At 8:25am on December 24, 2009, Elizabeth said…: hmmmmm sounds interesting i will have to check it out!

At 9:33am on December 23, 2009, Elizabeth said…: oh and thanks for adding me as a friend!!!

At 9:33am on December 23, 2009, Elizabeth said…: hmmm wow u look like a pro!!!! what do you do?

At 5:19pm on December 17, 2009, Talesse Adolfson said…: thank you I'm learning english at the moment I'm gonna be a 3 day eventer some day I also barrel race (walking) but I will learn more bout tent pegging
