Oh what a blessing teenagers are. Remember that patience is like a muscle and you have to exercise it to make it stronger. I had custody of my teenage sister back when she was in High School (and wanting to drop out). She was a challenge to say the least. That’s how she ended up coming to...

I feel compelled to add that those of us who support horse slaughter do NOT want to see horses die. We wish that every horse that's born could have a happy home to live peacefully in. However, that's just not a reality. I say again: It's OUR fault. Every one of us that breeds animals is to...

I watched it...while eating a double quarter-pounder w/bacon. It's much less upsetting than seeing a starving horse die from neglect because nobody wants it.

Anybody know of a Pro-Slaughter site and petition? I've seen enough of what happens to unwanted horses around here. Human beings seem incapable of lowering the number of breedings of both themselves and every animal they control. Until there are controls on the number of babies allowed...

Is this about her show career or your ego? She's had 8 babies. Cut her some slack. That's a LOT of stress on the ol' figure. (My wife has only given birth to one baby and I'll never have back the body I did beforehand.) A little excercise is good for most any horse, just keep it realistic...

Yer' so Lucky. I've been trying to talk my wife into letting me have a goat for a few years now.

So this is the famous barn that monopolized your thoughts at Convention? ... :

I stopped to look at the display model in one of the Wal-Marts here. It's already broken. No idea if it's because the toy is cheap or if it was just abused by some of the jack-A teenagers around here. They've also got it roped off because some stump put his toddler on it's back and she...

Sorry that you can't make it. It would have been neat to meet you. Post some pics of those pups when you can, please.

Personally, it makes little difference to me. Colors of eyes and coats is the last thing I look at. I do have 1 stallion with blue eyes and I think it completes his "look", but it's not really important. I will caution you though: While some people prefer it, certain Judges (expecially with...

A Buckeroo autographed Breyer…a breeding to the 2006 National Grand Champion… This year’s auction already sounds good. Can’t wait to see what else is up for bids. For those that weren't there last year: I got a wee tipsy at the Trainer's Auction last year and bid up this glorious...

My wife is going crazy. Redi gets his Halter Horse of the Year award from 2005 and she just can't wait to get to Convention and get her hands on it. (We're flying out Wednesday morning.) How many others are planning to attend? Many of us sit all year and question how decisions are made or...

Well, if you insist...I guess I'll post Redi's pics one more time. (Twist my arm : ) Here's his advertising photo with him all cleaned up for show. And here's the ol' fellar a year into retirement just bumming around in the pasture. This is about as fuzzy and dirty as he gets.

I couldn't agree more. It's extremely inconvenient and it's usually something that should be playing in an elevator. Congrats on your new boy. I hope he's everything you've been wanting.

I went out last night to try to find a particularly large snake that's moved into the tall grass along the edges of our pond since last week's downpours. I haven't gotten that one yet, but I did get this little fellar' instead. Y'all got named the coral pretty easily. Who wants to say what...

It's just part of life. People tend to group up with those who have similar interests. That's why we join these equine clubs to start with. That's why we're on this forum. Inside a big group, we migrate to smaller, more precise groups. Some people are snotty about it, but it's also a...

How about...They only take small bites and you can always bite them back. We have mostly copperheads around here, but I found this little feller in the yard striking at my wife's dog earlier this week. Too much rain here has them looking for higher ground. Generally speaking, they don't...

Hi Laura, sorry to hear about your pretty girl. Here's a couple of lousy pictures of our sweet baby, Charm. She had just placed Top Ten for the second year in a row in futurity. The morning after this, she began to show signs of colic. We took her to the vet on-call for the show. (If we...

Such a shame...Nationals was rough on us too. In fact 2006 in general has been.

I’m going to be blunt here because I want to make sure that I get my point across. I know how teenage boys think…in many ways, I still am one. It would be a cold day in my ex-mother-in-law's home when I would allow my teenage daughter to get her tongue pierced!!! There are powerful sexual...
