RN I would just like to say that I have the most amazing restraint here at TVCH. I only wish you knew! LOL

RN: Yankee, if you are restraining yourself from saying that he is one chunky monkey of a horse, no need, we already know he's 100 pounds overweight. He's going to be attending the Biggest Loser Horse Camp for the rest of the winter.

RN: Well, he doesn't have a name just yet. I voted that we should name him Doc Holiday, and just call him Doc for short......Right now it's between Doc, Cap't. Jack and Tucker. Grandma gets to decide, as it's her horse.

We weren't in the market for ANOTHER horse, seeing as how we already have Dora and Sugar (they voted out the name Diego for the new horse already).
Dora

Sugar

However, the lady who owned him was desperate to sell him as she needed money for Christmas and could not afford presents or to feed him any longer. My mom was helping a friend look for a horse, but this one wasn't big enough for her (she's built bigger than mom and grams)so she passed it up. My mom, having an eye for a good, sound horse, told my Grandma was a great investment it was, and Grandma reluctantly agreed to look. They mulled it over and called the owner who said she'd just prayed that someone would buy him. Mom and Grandma picked him up the next morning for one heck of a good price!

I went out yesterday and gave him an oreo, (he thought maybe I was trying to poison him) and sugar almost knocked him over out of jealousy. Apparently I have to save all my love and cookies for her. I tried to snuggle him a bit, and she did not like that. Horses are so funny.

RN: LOL, thanks. I was being so lazy that day, I had just got done at the gym.

I've been riding my entire life. My mom rode when she was pregnant with me and my grandma yelled at her and my mom responded "If Mary can ride that Donkey to bethlehem, I can ride this pony around the backyard!"

RN: Dora is the sweetest little pony, sometimes. She's a snuggler. I bought Dora when I was 8 months preggers with that one. I was looking at another horse out in a pasture, and this sweet little pony came wondering over, leaned up against me and nuzzled my belly. I asked how much for the pony and they said it belonged to their son. They went and asked him how much (I was thinking 1000 for her because she's just gorgeous and so sweet) and he came back and said "no less than 400" I whipped out my checkbook and wrote them a check. Dh was pissed I spent the money out of our savings account, but it was a well spent $400. She had never been ridden, never had her feet cleaned, never had a halter on and never been in a trailer. She adjusted quite well and fast. She still has a pony attitude sometimes, but for the most part, she's a gem. My mom got her well trained over the last 4 years. Dora is now 7 years old. I bought her New Years Eve 05-06.

We have her cart trained and we have sleigh bells for the cart that she pulls up and down the road.

I'll have to see if I have a picture of that.

RN I have been horseback riding about 6 times my whole life and it has been a wonderful experience each time. My roomate has never been, but she did try once and the guy who ran the place was not a pleasant man and scared her. I have been trying to find a place near us but with no luck.

RN I've been a few times a long long time ago. Mom dated a guy for about a year who owned several horses and we'd go riding with his kids. We were out riding in the desert once and a snake came out of nowhere, horse reared back and dumped both of us (me and the guys son who was a few years older than me) and then took off, good horse, went back home, lol. We ended up walking back, close to a mile.....longest, most uncomfortable walk ever since I think both of us had sand in every nook and cranny possible! But, didn't stop me, went a few times after that til mom and the guy broke up. I was apparently more broken up about the horse than the guy, since I can't even remember his name or what he looked like but I remember the horse was named Dancer and was brown with a big white spot near one of his front legs. Think I was about 7 or 8 at the time.

RN I can tell you I have never successfully stayed on a horse in my life. One of the few times I can remember my grandpa laughing was as I was sliding off a horse while my sister rode perfectly. I should have taken her down with me.

RN, thinking about last summer. We did one of those you ride the horse up the mountain, eat breakfast, ride the horse down. My horse kept tripping. I was sure I was going head first down the mountain. I hurt from head to toe.

Best part of the whole thing was the talking about it over wine and cheese in the hot tub later. We laughed and laughed.

RN I just looked out into the back yard and saw how chunky the squirrels are that I have been feeding. It is 15 degrees so I guess they need the extra fat.

RN I love horses. When I was growing up my Dad and I would go horseback riding and race each other. We were both really good on horses. Later, when I older and could afford it I bought 2 horses for Mandy and myself to ride. That lasted about a year and then she was too busy with boys to ride with me. Well, the whole point of the horses was supposed to be a bonding thing for us plus I couldn't ride both horse by myself and they both needed to be ridden. So, I sold the horses. To this day I still miss them.

RN Puss is in the doghouse something huge. He tore up the fabric speaker grille on Colossus' antique console radio. Puss may be looking for a new home unless I can find replacement fabric for a 1935 Silvertone. Sigh. Anyone? Anyone?

RN GAL, YIKES! I hope Puss has found a good hiding place. Wanna trade cats? Angel wolfs down food like she's never had a meal before and then throws up all over the house. I'm ready to kill her. Not literally.

RN, here you go, GAL:

I just googled "1935 Sivertone radio grille cloth" and found a few sites including eBay.

I hope Puss is out of the doghouse soon!
