I can smell the bread way over here, am I hungry. Nothing like hot bread from the oven.

It's more of a dessert type bread, like banana bread.

Well where's the recipe? I love bread. I did some pie last night. I make 2 crusts at a time and freeze one and each fall I can apple pie filling. Defrosted a crust, popped a can, made the topping, baked. Delicious!

Woo hoo for you!

I once tried free lunging all three of them in a round pen at the fair, just for the heck of it. Surprisingly, Syd hooked up right away, and stayed with me beautifully. Betsy and Blondie started off with us, but weren't taking it seriously and dropped out after a couple of laps. I quit then, because they were getting in the way and I was afraid someone was going to get hurt.

The "show" at the fair that year was a woman that did dressage with a couple of big horses, and ground work with a group of minis. She did free work with 6 of them at a time. When they worked with her, it was a sight to see, but sometimes they didn't take it seriously, either. I remember her asking them to change direction one time, and the leaders crossed the ring well enough, but the last three in the group nearly ran her over!

Ya'll are also making me hungry. I love bread and pie!

Congrats Deb!

All the steroids the Dr.'s have had me taking for a year have packed some extra pounds on me! I feel like shamoo.

Horse dancing is beautiful I have seen some here at the rodeo's nothing as fancy as 6. But they amaze me.

I can barely walk and chew gum at the same time (Dsqard can vouch for me almost falling off the trail down the mountain multiple times when there wasn't so much as a breeze happening). This would be a disaster for me.

We love you regardless.

Thanks Scg! I love ya'll too.

I would not be able to do that kind of dance either I am very clumsy. I trip over my own feet.

Quote: I am the same way... twist my ankle and fall off flip flops... Never mind high heels. But there is something that happens to me on horse back... its called freedom. fifty years of riding and I havent ridden in about fourteen years... I YEARN for it.

it takes years of experience to do what is in the picture... I rode english with double reins for years. Single bit but the top ring is very mild connection and the bottom ring is for tighter communication... So it was a simple matter to use that rein technique with two horses.

Two hands front horse with the stronger fingers riding horse with the lower fingers. Direct contact turning... pull one side they turn that way pull the other side they turn the other way. The GO and Stop part is voice for the front horse and voice and leg and seat for the back horse.

We had just broke my girlfriends quarter horse Chief to drive... even hitched him to my cart a few times... What a trooper. So I said one day... Why not... Carol thought it was great fun... Chief said "Oh something new I'm game" WE only walked and trotted and did a few figure eights... But what great fun it was.
