aw, poor Jinxx :[
I hope you are able to catch up on sleep soon, because deprivation with work is a bad idea.

I wish I had a horse, but I don't. I don't even know about the collecting hobbies, though I do have like the Spirit with family Breyers, the Seabiscuit and the...gack, the bay one? Or is the bay horse Seabiscuit, and the black one someone else?
Gee, okay, sorry for being completely illiterate when it comes to these things. I have an aunt with many horses, and two of them ( Mother and daughter; Prissy and Rosie ) that are related to Seabiscuit, how many generations though. Really neat, if you think about it. And it's been proven through bloodline tracings, we all went "Whoa!"

We had our first schooling show of the season on saturady and Winn and Tonto both did really well. Tonto and I did a walk/trot class (2nd place) a pile of poles (3rd) 2 crossrails (2 2nds) and a 2 foot class (4th I think?) witch was really good considering its his 2nd show ever and most of the other horses were fully trained and pretty fancy (only about 10-25 per class though). lol, Tonto was better behaved then Winn was even though he's only 4 and she's 12.

He did try to kill a dog though. A lady's dog some how broke its leash and came running up to us. Tonto just stiffend up and looked at it untill the dog jumped up and put is paw on him. Well that just ticks Tonto off so he leaps up into the air like a stallion and tries to flatten him with his front hooves! All of this while I'm on him of course Luckily the dog got away and I safely dismounted while Tonto stood proudly and informed me that he was the bravest and most fierce pony in the land and he would like a head scratch for his efforts. lol The little guy cracks me up even when he's naughty!

Winnie was a turd even though we did really well. I don't feel like going into it, but we had to bring her friend Fortune everywhere to "babysit" or else she would flip. Lets see, we did a hunter u/s and eq flat (2nd in both) 2'9 eq and medal (1st in one and 2nd in the other, I can't remember which though) then a 3' eq (2nd) and 3' medal (1st) and got 3' reserve champion

I was riding literally all day. From 8:00 am to about 5:30 pm I was on a horse except for like 45 min to switch horses and use the potty lol. I got burn to a crisp too, I'm going to have a wicked polo shirt tan lol

None on Cisco of the moment, but I'll give you a site to see some pics of Flicka. I'm not the one riding her, though. Did you know Sam Sammy Samm Sammy takes lessons with me at the same barn on her horsie, Kate? That's why I changed my name to SisKate. The Sis part stands for Cisco's nickname, Sissy. Anyway, here's how to see Flicka:

1. Go to www.google.com
2. Search the web for "Big Dog Horse Stables"
3. Click the first one you see
4. When you get there, click on Sale Horses at the top
5. Click "Apricot Brandy" (Flicka, really, just her show name)


Enjoy the pics! She's a real cutie. Any pictures of your horsies?

I own I horse, I ride western, my horse is somehow releated to the reinging champion Hollywood Dun It, you would think he would inherit those bloodlines, and the mane and tail, but of course not, he is a lazy horse, but funny, and he has practicly no forelock or mane.

[SisKate]

That's great! What's your horse's name? I have the Breyer model Hollywood Dun It. I take it your ride Reining for western?

Wow, she's very pretty! Fancy little girl you've got there

I don't have any recent ones be heres a few from our first show together last year #1 #2 Please excuse my crappy position, I hadn't figured out her jump yet (also the reason they were such little jumps lol). She's so powerful she use to lauch my butt like that over like 1/2 of the jumps for a couple of months lol. No more jumping me out of the tack anymore though ^_^

Hollywood Dunit was such a beautiful horse, you're lucky to have one of his relatives Cowgirls.

I've been busy the past few weeks, have a show coming up and need stuff to sell.

Ya'll don't know how lucky you arre to have acess to real horses. I'd love to learn to ride better and to jump.
Getting old though, knees aren't that good anymore, back neither.
Stuck with plastic ones for now.

I started lessons again last week,Penny was a brat the first lesson.Apparently trot isn't a gait anymore.It's either walk,canter,or gallop for her.We worked on trotting around the arena for the entire lesson.I rode again tonight and it was like I was on a different horse.She did anything that I would ask of her even if it took a little thinking.Some parts were challenging but she was really good for the most part.Our first show is May 17th.I'm really excited! My friend rode one of the boarders named Lakota.His owner comes out and grooms him but she hasn't ridden him for like almost a year.He is a wonderful paint gelding.I've worked with him before a couple of years ago but I hadn't ridden him in a while.We switched horses halfway through riding.Lakota responds mostly to body signals where as Penny needs a little bit from the reins.My friend and I are planning to work with Lakota whenever we're not riding the horses that we show.Her horse is a palomino gelding named Copper and of course I work with Penny.Lakota has a lot of potential and has proven himself to be a good cow horse.He loves to take off after the cows.lol
Brownie has deteriorated majorly.He is a 22 year old bay Quarter Horse gelding.He's a boarder too but his owners just send a check for his board and never come to visit him.I used to think of him as my horse because my mom and I were the only people who paid much attention to him.He is getting pampered and is on medicine from the vet when needed.I hate to say it but I don't think he'll survive next winter.He's still so happy though and he isn't experiencing much pain now that the warmer weather's here.

I just rode Gunner two days ago, he was good, considering that he never trots along to rail, so yeah, I was pretty happy. He had his little qurik in the beginning when my mom lunged him, but after, he was really good. Oh yeah, he is being showed tomorrow too! I'm going to the show becuase my sister is showing another horse that we watched grow up.

Just got back from a Model Horse show this weekend.
Actually 2 shows.
Kick AZ: Mini's Too the Max (Mini's only)
AZ Live(Open)

I did pretty good at Kick AZ, 3 Champions and 1 Res.
Grey SM Morgan Mare(From the Hildago set, the G1 one) Got champ.
Buckskin G1 QH Mare I bought asa body got champ.
Chestnut ASB from the JAH Conn set got champ.
Bay tobiano G3 pony from Target got Res. Showed her as a Kerry Bog, cause I already had 3 Chincoteagues.

Didn't do to good the next dat at AZ Live. Only got a Res, and 2 NAN cards.
Everything else was low placings. My grulla tobiano Misty got a second and my classic drafter got frist and Res drafter. Funny thing about he drafter. I have 2, both grey, only differance is the ribbon colors. Both OF and Regular runs. One is the frist drafter, Disney's Birthday Boy is what mine is named.
The other is the one that's out now, Toliken is his name. I can never remeber which is which. The names go back and forth. Both have NAN'ed though.

Speaking of model horses, I am selling some on Auction Barn:http://myauctionbarn.com/ Look under ShadowHawke.

I'm registered on MyAuctionBarn but haven't purchased anything there yet. *goes to see what you have*

Congrats on the placings. I haven't been to a live show since 04. My sister and I were discussing this weekend about finally looking for one to attend this year.
