If I may be so bold:

Noble companion and friend
Brave Equus always will be
The memory forever in mind
Never forgotten after being set free.

It comes from that, yes, but I would never participate in an actual fox hunt.

As far as it being a sport... I just loved it for what it was... a blending of two souls.... a girl and a horse. It may sound corny, but in order to ride well you have to become one with the animal. In other words, they have to be an extension of yourself or it just won't work.

I don't argue sports with men. I gave up a long time ago as far as that's concerned.

It sure is delicious. Though, mine never comes out as good as Ma's.

Then we sleep out under the stars and ride back over the Continental Divide. I must get Tom's Cowboy Bean recipe...

I would only let it out by PM. It's a family recipe and you know how that is, can't be just publishing it!

Tom doesn't seem to want to give it out :p

Romance films have lost their way just like the rest have. The old pictures where you see a good, decent courtship, though glamorized considerably, were so much better than this garbage being put out now.

I've been thinking about seeing the Notebook. I can't tell if I am going to love or hate this film. I like romance in movies, but a lot of the romantic films out there seem to have romance overkill in them. lol

kind of goes with everything you do... if you don't become part of what you're doing you're not going to do it very well.

We never had fancy pleasure horses like that as a kid. Ours were strictly work animals, except the two old Arabians we took care of for a few years.

Horse Jumping mostly was just a girl sport wasn't it?

Oh I don't know... my trainer was a man and he was on the German olympic team. In fact all of my trainers, except for one, were men.

When I was in grade school I had a chance to ride for a riding academy for several years. Nothing special..but learned how to take care of horses and learned to ride them over pratically all kinds of terrain. When I was 13 yrs old my Father and I rode 20 miles over the mountains to camp out under the stars in Estes Park,Colorado. The guides cooked steaks..baked beans..fried potatoes..with watermelon for dessert. We rode up along high rocky trails...down shale slides..and full run across meadows. Prime time for a young boy. Some of the most fun that I ever had with my father. Since then my kids and I have rode horses over much of the country. I still very much enjoy riding horses. Somehow I kind of feel a kinship with a good steed.

And that's what it should be like :) If the horse doesn't feel your trust they will get you off their back sure enough lol
