Hi

I love your attitude towards riding, and I think your horse is pretty awesome.  The first horse I owned was a 1/4 horse, and he was an amazing partner for me, he took me where angles dare to tread!  The courage of a lion, and the willingness to win of a million dollar horse, all for 500 dollars purchase price.

I'm glad you liked little Steal's photo.  He is a really cute 14.3-15 hand stb gelding we bought for cheap to get my husbands' licence (back) with.  He is a stb, so he is a horse, and with his long trotting feet he is about 15 hands, but he is really just a large pony!!! Tough chew for us as we like big horses, I though that my 15.3 1/2 hand stb Tattoo was small enough at 750 or so lbs!!! now this little guy is no bigger than a minutes-- that's what you get when you buy them over the phone sight unseen (not as bad as it sounds as you do have race lines with stbs lol)-- anyway, I thought that this was a cute photo of him, he will make someone a great family pony when he is done racing as he is a gentleman, and really sweet with people and horses.  I haven't broken him to ride yet, but if I get that far with him, I know he will make a great little english jumper (or a very good trail horse for someone).  deb

Hi Shirley! The cold has really been bothering me so far this year. Very unusual for me but I can't bundle up either because then I overheat. I have been sick all week and will probably stay in all weekend. Cooper is in a good spot, I don't have to worry about him. And a little ground work before riding gets his mind right.

I don't remember if I got notice, I think I did, but this week has been fuzzy.

Al's truck is broke down and is in the garage right now. It's too old to spend lots of money, 1996 Ford Explorer, or Exploder as they call them. Nothing works in it, he's got a lot of the fuses and bulbs out of it, but it at least it was running until yesterday.

He is still working on a tack locker for the new place too, so right now my car is stuffed with horse things.

Soon time to go home, I was off work 1 day this week and came in late 2 other mornings. I feel guilty being at home even though I am really sick.

Love that video, Cash is so full of it LOL I like when Cooper gets like that, but of course on the ground only!! Cooper often bucks when I ask for the first canter/lope on the ground. 

Hi Shirley! Thanks for joining my group. I posted links to more information on the breed. Feel free to ask any questions and if I cannot answer them, the folks that run the .org site can.  Did you view the pic of the foal?

Hi Shirley!! Another great video! I love watching them!!

Funny I was going to ask you what you used to process your videos also. I am just using windows live movie maker with no sound, it sometimes takes forever to put together a video and then upload onto Youtube. Then when I post it to Youtube I use that new feature they have on there to add music that way no copyright infringement thing happens. I was always getting a lot of warnings, and I see they muted some of my videos.

All the different hair colors I used in my hair were bothering me. Itchy, scabby, so maybe an allergy. I was tired of coloring it every 2 weeks and went to hairdresser twice to get color and highlights to start blending the gray in. The gray roots would come in and I looked like a skunk. That was so expensive, I never went and had that done before at a hair salon. My scalp feels a lot better and my hair is soft, not coarse like some gray hair is. I have been thinking of coloring again, one of those L'Oreal Color Expert kits in a light tone, and forgot about that problem. Now have to think hard about it again. I'll have to tell my sister about the health warning but I know she will say, well it's only 1 percent, she'll risk it :( She is always after me to do my hair, telling me I am too young to be gray. She's almost 11 years younger.

I posted a comment on your youtube video. You guys look great! Cash reminds me so much of Cooper.
