That would be fair, but I would consider working out quotes before hand and sticking with that. It's easier on customers to know the cost up front. Giving a quote that both you and your customer are happy with in the end may take some practice, but that's how I prefer to do it when I have...

Of course there is a way. His opponents web server will store all kinds of statistics. There are ways to get into all of that. However, since he's running for Judge...perhaps it would be a good time to abondon practices that are of questionable morality. :

Every youth should be so lucky as to have a gelding like that to show. Congratulations, and good luck with him.

Not long ago, Shane taught us silly Yankees that a Poke is an ice cream cone. This was news to some of us simpletons who’ve heard the word poke in reference to…um…well, just watch the original “Lonesome Dove†films. Rabbitsfizz then raised a trivia question about where the word...

Don't you just hate that sinking feeling? Glad she was OK. Hope your husband it too.

We finally settled that today: As some of you know, every colt here has to earn his...well...his Stalliondom. He's either a winning Stallion, or he'll get a shot at becoming a winning Gelding. With a father like B&L's Rock "E" Red Alert, this little guy has some substantial hoof prints to...

...or Sweet-n-Sour Sauce. : j/k Glad he didn't get hurt.

There are times in life when that would be worth more than gold.

We'll be there. I'm actually going to drag my fat self into the arena this year. There's just no way to top Redi's show from last year, but we've got a couple of cute fillies with Belinda this year that could do well. Also looking forward to watching Belinda show Redi's full brother (owned by...

This may sound odd this time of year, but you might want to bring a jacket. You posted on the back porch that your job keeps you very used to the heat. This is one of the few shows that have a good AC in the arena area. They try to make things tolerable for those on the arena floor and...

Same here. I've always enjoyed both about the same. Hope all goes well and you recover quickly.

It's so hard when you have to put down such a young one. You did what was best for him.

How horrible. I can't imagine having to watch that many of them die like that. Talk about a helpless feeling.

Wow! That must take forever. Looks really good.

It's always tough when you feel like you should have known and could have done better. Just look at it as a lesson to be learned from and next time you will be better prepared. Also, it may have been the heat...or maybe not. It's possible that there was something wrong with them and that you...

Rab, Excellent question! I, honestly, do not know the history of the term "Cow Poke". My guess would be that the Gents on cattle drives were called that by Saloon Girls. However, that is ONLY A GUESS. I grew up close to Oklahoma State University (mascot is the Cowboys). We always chanted...

I don't think Nationals will be the same without Jack in the arena.

Truly a touching story. Can't read it without feeling a tug on your heart. Thank you for sharing it with us.

Thank Heaven for 11 year old heros and off-duty ones as well. Sounds like there was a higher power watching over that family. They'll be in our thoughts...

I GIVE UP!!! I'm not trying to be a S.A. I seriously do not know. As Marty said, to us simple American Country Folk a "poke" means something ENTIRELY different than I hope you mean it (especially if you've ever watched certain "western" films). In that context, this thread is way out of...
