Sincerely.

they always have the ladies on their minds!! right little shaggers they are.
Bet the little boogers eat twice as much now that they don't have ladies on their minds.
some of the truest words ever written, thank you William, is it very refreshing to here that we have all made mistakes in the past, it is how we learn. You sir ,are one hell of a communicator!! Cheers Geoffrey

Koala hay??
For all you people that are wondering what Koala hay is, well it's a long story. In the 30's Koala's were introduced to Kangaroo Island , (not a native to the island) and for a good few years now they have been eating themselves out of house and home. Koala's only eat a particular type of gum leaves. Lots of Koala's ,not much to eat. So the government said we should Cull some of the Koala's so the numbers come down and they don't all starve to death.One quick shot or a slow lingering death by st… Continue

Shirley said… - You make this jumping stuff look so easy and graceful....well graceful it is...no doubt about that.
Today was a special day for Cash and I~~~got out of the arenas and rode around the yard and down the lane a little. I am thrilled! May sound silly to you but it was a big hurdle for me. Did you get the pun on that? Big Hurdle? It wasn't initially intentional. AND I set some very low jumps out for him Friday and we played around with that with me on the ground. I set two poles together for him to go over and a 4 in. high box and then a regular jump that was probably 6 in. At first he just sort of trotted over and then he started actually jumping. That's so pretty even at that low. I set out a couple barrels too on their side but he wanted nothing to do with going over those. I think the highest he's jumped for me is about 15 inches but he'd way over jump that. I wasn't comfortable with how the jumps were held up (they were useing the seats of a couple of chairs) so we didn't do it anymore. But now we can work with some real jumps so I think we'll end up playing around with them a little. Especially as it gets colder.
It was a good horse week-end for us...hope it was for you too.
By the way, I need some translation again. "A smile on your dial?" I suspect this is going to be very cute..
Keep up the good work with your students and horses!

- You have such inspiring experiences with your horses that are caught with the camera.
I am not sure where my friend is in Australia. I think they had four main destinations on their itinerary. I only remember GBR and Sydney. I don't know where her extented family lives there either. What a nice friend to have that will share the holiday home with you! Our little getaway is a small 'old' log cabin on a small freshwater lake. We have a paddle boat and a pontoon to go out in search for fish, turtles and birds. But of course the fresh water fish can't compare in color to the tropical fish. It is a good retreat if you like to go back to nature.
When I mention 'bored' I'm referring to the attitude that arises when I don't diversify enough. If I attempt to do the same things over and over, Cash will easily distract and let his mind go on to other things which generally means that he's gonna make up his own fun. Much better for me to change it up first and stay the leader.
Keep Jumping Around!

- Hey Patrick, I just saw you are on here so thought I'd say good-night since I'm off for bed at 2:a.m. Didn't feel very good today so I mosied around the barnyard with Cash in hand. It's starting to be old hat for him now. We walked up to the fake deer and he sniffed at it and then tried to push it over. It was a good choice to do the hiking around. Felt like the right thing to do. It's time~~~ on a good day we gotta start getting around the grounds with me in saddle. With 13 horses at my barn, no one else is going outside of the arenas either. I sooooo want to do this before we start getting the ice and snow that only complicate the things that can go bad. Right now ~~lots can go right.

- Hi Geoffrey!
How are things with you?
Cash and I have been getting along fabulous. When I returned from my 10 day Florida vacation he took his head and rubbed it all over me. First time he's been THAT affectonate! Suppose he got a little dog mixed in there somewhere? LOL! Anyway, I like that about him.
I had a riding lesson yesterday and both of us were in a good mood & relaxed so it went as well as I'd hope for. We are finally back to progressing since leaveing our old barn. Only took a year and a half.
A highschool girlfriend of mine is visiting your country now. Her fathers relatives were from Australia so she wanted to visit before his close relatives passed as they are getting up there in age. She and her husband just went snorkeling at the great barrior reef a couple of days ago. Have you ever done that? I used to be very afraid (there's that darn word again) of water but when we started traveling in the Caribbean Islands, I knew I had to get over that cause I loved seeing all the interesting critters in the ocean. I still like to know I can touch bottom and as long as I think I can touch, I swim fine. If I start to feel I might not be able to touch bottom I become a rock. I'd love to visit the Great Barrior Reef but that is not likely to happen. Just thankful I've been able to do it in the islands.
I went to the Parelli Celebration in Florida for 3 days while on vacation. Got many new ideas of things to do to keep things fresh and fun for Cash and I. That keeps him moving under saddle and gives me a chance to progress with my riding seat. Hard to develope a good seat when they don't keep moving!
Keep up the good work with your horses and students! What a great life!! Enjoy!!!

What a wonderful, fun idea. I would love to learn horse massage!! I would love a book club!! This site is so creative and open to new things. Love it!!!
This is a group for those interested in the paranormal, other worlds and other possibilities.
A group for quality breeders to connect, showcase & market their horses. A place to learn about different bloodlines with a focus on Olympic/related disciplines. A resource for prospective buyers to look for a quality youngster from trusted breeders.
One year ago today, I lost my best friend. He was the best horse I ever knew, and I miss his beautiful buckskin face. Together, we learned to ride, we learned to jump, we learned to show. He taught me so much, even as I taught him. We spent many m...
I hope this group can honor PonyBoy and his methods, and that if he ever reads it he will be pleased.
One of my favorite quotes of PonyBoy's is "Horses know how to do everything that is possible for them to do from the day that they are born. It is the rider who has the problem communicating". from Out of the Saddle
