Hey yall! Looky what I started today! ❤ Riding lessons View attachment 2290610View attachment 2290611

I'm very happy for you, horses are amazing. You think chickens are addicting....get a horse, or two, or ok 3 lol. Then after you have your horse, you can start collecting saddles and other tack.

Now lets talk about horse names. I have 3 boys. 2 have sort of common names, Louis and Russ. The other my mom named. Dirt, the horse in my avatar is named Dirt. And when my daughter takes her boy to local horse shows, Russ becomes Rust Bucket in the ring....my mom has worn off on her lol. One of the most memorable show names i've heard through the years at our local shows, here in eastern ky were talking about Pacing *standardbreds rule* and Racking classes *Tennessee walkers and Ky/Rocky Mountain horses* was a flea bitten grey Standardbred mare called White Trash. Don't let that name fool you, when she was showing, she showed up, 9 times out of 10 in open pacing she walked away with the blue ribbon.

That is not what I think of when I see the word "glassing"

Preserving eggs is a far, far nicer meaning than I'm used to.

Me too!

That's right I forgot you were also an equestrian as well. I love the name Rust Bucket. I can certainly picture the horse in my mind. Dirt is a very handsome horse as well.

Is that another Australian phrase of which I'm not aware?

Why Can't We be Friends

When I decided to take in Sansa I honestly though she would also be a good companion for Sydney. The two of them having grown up together, being similar in size, etc. I always kind of thought that Phyllis might wind up on her own being so different from the others. I never figured that Sansa would replace Hattie as Lilly's best friend.

Sansa is so determined to stay ahead of Sydney that her pecking of Sydney seems to never stop. Normally if Sydney spots Sansa, she skitters away from her. That's why when I saw them grooming together the other day I had to grab a picture of what I though would have made a really sweet pairing, at least visually.

Will do! It will be months down the road before we try cracking them open so you'll have to be patient, though.

Patience isn't an issue. These days I blink an eye and the next thing it is a month later. I think it is the working hours that is doing it to me. It will be something to look forward to.
