Rachael, did you know there are green parrots in east Austin??
Yep, my understanding is they are not "natural", they are pets that have been released and adapted very well. They are everywhere downtown. With the pigeons now :-)! Very pretty though.

Yes, that is sad, I am glad there are laws against that now.
I finally did it!

Getting hurt is part of life unless we want to live in a padded room,lol. I have had 13 concussions from my jockey career

Is that you in your avatar?  

Yes that was me breezing Indian Charlie at the Fasig-Tipton 2 year old in training sale in 2003. He sold for $240,000.00(I was just the rider for that agent's horses in the breeze show). He won a lot of money as a race horse & is a well known sire now. :)

WOW, you rock also!!!!! I always wanted to be a jockey, but my size would not let me (well maybe that and my fear of going that fast

) The most "at home" I have ever felt, was riding a horse through a trail as fast as we could go. It was a true feeling of being blessed.

Don't ya just feel so free an unrestricted when riding a horse down a trail or through your property!

Ever hear the old saying, "if you can't stand the heat, get out of the kitchen?" Well I got out of the kitchen. Evidently I can take a huge *** kicking 20 years later bad beating at a bar from someone that tried to cow me (and never did) but a softball did me in. We make our choices as far as the battles we're willing to fight. A ball game wasn't worth it. Being a jockey would have been.
