Wish we had a like button.  Love so many things on the page, but don't always comment.  I do read pretty much everything, unless I get behind, then I might just skim.

What a great thread Ive loved reading about everyone's riding and about your horses and past forever horses.

From reading this , and Ive always thought this........... "When its in your blood, its very hard to get out of horses all together" :)

I agree about the "like" button Chanda. Particularly when I'm on the mobile device, I get to READ bunches and comment not at all (for me, anyway  :P )

I have been online via my phone most every day. Now, though, I'll have to schedule my time so as not to be on here ALL of the time.  >:D

:)) :)) :))Ryan, that's the advantage to having a mini who's a photo bomber. Spanky's too short to take up the whole frame!! ROFL  It never ceases to surprise me that a horse who was handled so little before coming to me could be so self-aware that he knows what a camera is for. He never misses a chance to come for a close-up just like yours when he hears that shutter click.

Im slowly returning to riding after a long spell. Both horse and rider have been in a good "paddock", so to speak.

Only issue I had was trying to do the girth up. That and One very excited TB , who had plenty of energy, but was quite well behaved :)

Oh, thank you Ryan! You got the between the ears shot!!

He is very lovely, your feed and *ahem* grooming program have him sparkling!!  He is a perfect example of why I can't understand a full body clip for show. Why?? Again, why, if proper feed (for the individual animal) and elbow grease can result in this?!

Wonderful, wonderful and we look forward to riding with you.

Very few horses get fully show clipped really. Probably only minis and cobs actually 😂 I think it’s because they usually have such thick coats that by shoe season most don’t have a smooth silky coat yet like many short hair animals would. Then there is show cobs who need clipped as they tend to sweat at walk in their coats!
