No worries... I love talking about show jumping and Spruce Meadows. How about we do spoiler tags in the future in case we haven't had a chance to watch it?
-
GAH!!! I recorded it! One of the reasons I keep my cable tv is to watch Spruce Meadows show jumping. Since I live so close to the border, I get CBC and CTV. McLain is a great rider, so I'm sure the competition was great. I'll watch it when I get home.

Thanks Dr. P I'm hoping to continue it. I just need the right inspiration. Thanks for the comments.
-
You enjoyed saying that, didn't you? I'm planning on continuing when I find a suitable prompt. Can't guarantee when that will be...

I am not a fan of the racing industry as a whole, but do enjoy watching the Triple Crown races: The Kentucky Derby, The Preakness, and the Belmont.

Your non-rhyming poetry is just as brilliant as your rhyming. Here's another hug

Oh, so sorry to hear. I loved watching Batman when I was a kid. Adam West will always be Batman to me.

Question for today, in honor of the Belmont Stakes: What's the best horse race you've ever seen? Can be in person or on TV. When I was a kid, the best race I remember is the rivalry between Sunday Silence and Easy Goer. I yelled my lungs out at the TV during the Belmont, and I'm not a yeller... lol The best race of all time, IMO is when Secretariat won the Belmont. I cry every time I watch that race.

Aww... it looks like a cute movie! Yeah yeah yeah... I like sappy movies too.
-
Yes, eventing is very tough and needs a lot of reform, IMO. It's become incredibly technical and I don't get the current trend toward jumping corners and skinny jumps. Anyone riding in the field knows to avoid those types of objects.. not jump them.

Frodo Baggins. Sadly he was injured at Rolex a few years ago and had to be put to sleep.
-
Yes! Shadowfax is awesome! One of the Nazgul's horses was bought by someone who evented him. I'm drawing a blank as to the horse's name, but it was related to LoTR.
-
Oh, I'm wrong... It's going to be a Netflix series, not a movie.
-
Yes, I did know that. I think he bought the horse he rode in the LoTR, too.
-
How can you go wrong with Viggo Mortenson and a beautiful paint horse? And Phar Lap is a great movie, too.
-
I loved Spirit! Did you know they're making a sequel?
-
Today's question goes hand in hand with yesterday's. What's your favorite horse movie? The Black Stallion is one of my all-time faves. I also really like Sylvester, which stars Melissa Gilbert and features three day eventing. There was a movie I saw a long time ago about a boarding school that featured horses. I can't remember the name, but one of the girls in the movie had a parent who was a famous rider. The girl was scared of jumping and ashamed of that fact since she was from such a famous riding family. I think it may have been a British movie.

Thanks for sharing, William.

Thank you so much for your kind words, Emi. I was very interested in your opinion and I'm glad the poem worked for you.

Good idea, Drew I'm horrible at math, though. I can do basic math, but that's about it. And even that sometimes requires a calculator... lol

I have tons of young adult and kids horse books, so no laughter here. You reminded me that I totally forgot CW Anderson. Billy and Blaze I loved his books, too.
-
Yes! That's it! I LOVE that story! OMG a movie? I'm going to have to search for it now
-
Here's the question for the day: What's your favorite horse book? I love reading young adult horse fiction and have an extensive collection of those kinds of books. While I love Marguerite Henry, Sam Savitt, and Walter Farley, my favorite book from when I was a kid is called The Golden Horse of Willow Farm. I'm drawing a blank on the author's name. It's about a young girl who raises a morgan filly and ends up having a successful show career.
