Sorry it's so late, but here's the question of the day: What's your favorite horse breed?
Gary, I know yours is the appaloosa lol Mine is probably the Lipizzan. I also love morgans.
Thanks again for all the birthday wishes. They've really made my day I appreciate all the pictures, cakes, and well wishes. This site and the people on it mean the world to me. I just got back from having iced cocoa and cake and splurged and bought some gourmet chocolates to enjoy. Tomorrow I'm on to phase two of my vacation and travel to my BFFs. So there will be even more cake and celebrating there I'm very blessed to be so spoiled. lol
Thanks so much for all the birthday wishes! It's been great so far with an early celebration with Lisa and Defiance yesterday. Today I'll be relaxing with my friend (trying not to melt in 90 degree F heat) and going out for tea and cake. @northie thanks for the shiny (now I'll go nab the real thing... )
This story is well worth the read. Lilansui takes us on a quite a roller coaster ride, but her writing is stellar. I've enjoyed everything I've read of hers so far.
Me too. I saw the press conference when he talked about it and he was in tears, understandably so. Eric is a prime example of why we give people second (and third, and fourth) chances. The Candadian Equestrian Federation knew what they were doing, and the partnership between Eric and Hickstead is the result.
Thanks Like I said, I love talking about the competitions. My favorite are the derbys. Oh, you gave me a good idea for the question of the day!
Question of the day: Who's your all-time favorite show jumper?
It's so hard for me to choose. I love Big Ben, Milton, Gem Twist. Mario Delaurier's Boxcar Willie was also a horse I really liked, along with Lisa Carlen's Kahlua. How he cleared those jumps dangling his legs the way he did is amazing.
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.
