Congratulations on your superb filly's success, and thank you for being such a wonderful inspiration to all of us.

I think it's always best to deal with a situation right then and there. If a person is being rude and disrespectful to the judge and/or a member of the show committee and/or other exhibitors, it's up to the show committee to decide how to handle it. (ETA - The judge does have the right to...

WOW!!! Congratulations, Desiree!!!!! What a beautiful baby she is! I wish you the best of luck with her.

As a judge, I look for about 3 - 5 steps back, a pause, and then the same number of steps forward. The back should be done smoothly and willingly, with a minimum of pressure on the bit, no head tossing or mouth gaping open, etc. (And I love it when the driver glances over his/her shoulder...

Congratulations and Happy Birthday, Alexis!!!!

Multi-colour classes are indeed for appaloosas and pintos only, so everything else (including roans) goes in solid colour. Not difficult at all.

Yeah, that's what I thought. Thanks for the replies, ladies!

A friend of mine received the following email in response to an ad for a horse for sale (not on LB, but elsewhere). It doesn't "ring true" to me for a number of reasons and sounds quite a bit like others I've read about on here. She did reply with the information he asked for and is now wating...

"Own son" and "direct son" drive me up the wall! Is there such a thing as an indirect son?? The use of the term "Grand National Champion" also bugs me when it is used to describe a National Grand Champion as opposed to the winner of that very famous race in England. I love it when horses do...

I've used Revolution and Advantage on my dogs and cat. Revolution did nothing, but the Advantage has worked very well so that's what they're on right now. I haven't read any of the previous replies to your question, so maybe someone already mentioned this, but I read on here some time ago that...

A few months ago, I was the lucky winner of the Lil Beginnings contest of a prize donated by Ellen of Rusty Acres. For a variety of reasons, mostly unknown, the prize never arrived, despite the valiant efforts of both Ellen and Robin (REO) to send it, twice. Today, with the help of Mary Lou, I...

Robin, thanks!! I'm pretty happy, too!!! Kim, I don't know yet exactly when the wedding will be, but probably about an hour and a half after we get to Ohio! LOL! Actually, what we'll most likely end up doing is having a civil ceremony asap, and have the party/reception at a later date when...

I just received word on Monday that my daughter and I are scheduled for our Immigration interview in Montreal on September 23rd!!!!! This the final step in our long journey that started last year in July when we were refused entry to the U.S. for not having the proper documentation, six days...

john was out driving a horse today and really enjoyed it. He looked so happy driving in the cart.I was glad he was able to enjoy it again. It's obviously true, then, that saying about the outside of a horse being good for the inside of a man. I'm so glad John was able to get out and...

Hi Ellen. I hope you're feeling much better by now! Robin emailed me today and I just replied. The address I gave her is correct and current. My guesses as to why the package can't be delivered are either insufficient postage for Canada (less likely), or Customs won't allow it through (more...

I'm so happy to hear all your good news, Amelia! Congrats on all your show placings!

I went out last night around midnight for about half an hour to watch the meteor showers. I did see a few of the streaks of light, and one really neat ball with a "fizzling" tail. Like you, I chose a good night's sleep over further viewing, but it sure was neat what little I did get to see!

Congratulations on all her well-earned titles! I'm kinda thinkin' that perhaps YOU should have an award for the Most Enthusiastic and Most Adoring Owner out there! I think your little mare would have had a hard time earning all her awards if it weren't for all the love and hard work you...

It's all very good news, indeed!! So glad to hear everyone is doing so well, and I hope it continues this way from now on. I, too, can hardly believe the twins are six months old already!

Congratulations on both your awards, but especially on your Hall of Fame! I know some would disagree but, to me, the HOF is the greatest award you can earn. I remember shedding one or two ( ) tears when my horses got theirs, especially my Angel mare who is in my avatar. Keep up the...
