Just want to say that I think a matching stockpin with the garnet browband will be awesome!

M&M

In the photo, I don't notice the gold prongs. And garnets on a dark bay mare? No brainer!

M&M

I don't know the answer, but I hope the answer presents itself, because I like it here, but I do wish it was more active.

M&M

Great story and adorable calf. I like the name Stewie, also. Mostly.

M&M

Except perhaps to be able to look at oneself in the mirror. But some people are ok with that, I guess.

And I agree. Your whine is quite understated.

M&M

Great post, great photo!

And so very wonderful to see photos of you out in the world again.

M&M

Prayers and jingles. Motorcycle accidents are so very frightening.

M&M

Unfortunately, I'm in Zone 6a. Too bad. Mouse plant looks awesome!

M&M

I have yet to meet an epimedium that I didn't love! I have several on my side, which is shady. Funny you should mention cyclamen - I just started looking in to them yesterday. I do love wild ginger, but a google search hasn't turned up any that like full sun. Any that I have seen in full sun get qui...

M&M

How do I get them to show up in the post, instead of being a link?

Ok, got it! Now, how do I make them smaller? LOL! On photobucket, I shrunk the size 4 times, but it still looks big here!

(I used to be good at computers, but they changed, and I didn't!)

In the case of Woodstock, he hated wearing a bridle. Jimmy Williams devised a way - I don't know what it was - to keep the bit in Woodstock's face, that met with the horse's approval.

M&M

Svvdressage, you beat me to it.

Samsung Woodstock, Jimmy Williams, Susie Hutchinson.

M&M

Posts like these are way we keep going! I"m so thrilled for you, Paula!

M&M

I'm doing it on line, so I won't get certified - no volunteer time, etc. I'm more interested in the knowledge than the certification. However, doing it at my own pace means I've only done the Basic Botany class - I don't have to tell you when I started, do I?

M&M

Hey, I am too! Allegedly, anyway. I've only taken the first section, which is basic botany.

M&M

Thank you, Tuffy! I wasn't aware of them, and they are native to my area.

Thank you, also Where'sMyWhite. I used to know this stuff off the top of my head. It's embarrassing to need the reminders, but better to be embarrassed than to plant thing that aren't helpful to my local bugs and butterflies!

M&M

Although, now I'm browsing the New England Wildflower site, and being reminded why natives are so important. So, thank you, Texsuze. I'm a little embarrassed that I needed to be reminded.

M&M

I'll definitely provide the before and after.

I absolutely agree with the native plants, but the one thing I will prioritize over native is drought tolerant. We're no California, but things are getting worse in our neck of the woods.

M&M

I can't plant anything edible. There's a high likelihood of lead contamination due to the age of the house. I have delphiniums on my side - and some are getting ready to rebloom! :) Some more might have to go on the work-in-progress side. I love those alliums, Tuffy! I'll probably be planting garlic...

M&M

Which tells you how sincere I am about not creating an entire garden!

M&M

Dianthus is definitely in the plan!

M&M

Forgot to mention - the area gets afternoon sun.

M&M

I live in a Victorian duplex with limited gardening space. I'm very fortunate - for such a small space, I have a sunny flower bed, a shady area in front of my porch, and I have several containers for vegetable gardening. They are oh-so-attractive - they live at the end of my driveway! But whatever, ...

M&M

When I saw that Billy was the horse of the month, I had to take a few days before I could come back and read his story. I don't think the intensity of your care for him will ever leave me. What I never knew about Billy is that he was such a star on the big stage! I also never knew the story about yo...

M&M

what do you call a hippie's wife?

Missisippi!

M&M

It is more difficult - and more aggravating - given the nature of the situation. A simple explanation to the BO SHOULD take care of it, but it doesn't sound like it will. "I have ended up in a mess because a newbie asks me management and horse care questions that I answer very generically ,then...

M&M

Not even in the 2nd most right? Around here, that would be called the travel lane. The far right is the slow lane, and not advisable because of people merging on to the highway.

M&M

Another thought: the far right lane on California freeways is the worst for potholes, etc. I try to avoid that lane because it bumps the horses and I have to deal with traffic merging onto the freeway. Alas this is actually illegal in CA (though I completely agree with you). A friend of mine was ac...

It's easy to end up in a triangle that you never intended to participate in. It's not as easy, but definitely doable, to extricate yourself. First - and this is something I forgot for a long time, when dealing with my family. Fortunately, I recently remembered - participating in drama is optional. (...

M&M

Broadband/laptop here. Only use my phone when I have to. tell your obstructionist to get a grip.

M&M

I didn't remember that that they passed so very close to each other.

And Clanter, you summed it up beautifully. Well, you and Anna Sewell!

M&M

I'm sure I speak for many of us when I say that I think about Billy and Foxie a lot, and I 'm sure I always will.

And Freeway. He was in their league.

M&M

On the one hand, I wish there was more activity here. On the other hand, the last post in the Political Forum is a month old!

What do you love about being here?

M&M

I'm happy for you that you can see the truth - not shabby at all! And being a good hunter-princess-canter-rider is a good foundation for looking to be mistaken for Charlotte! I was a hunter princess before turning to dressage, and when the going got tough, without meaning to, I would default to hunt...

Jealous!!!!!!!!!

M&M

Rye, I wish I could say this to you face to face, so that you could hear that my tone is gentle, and expression is kind. While you encourage people to be non-judgemental, it often seems that you are being rather judgemental of those who you think should be non-judgemental. And it does bear thinking ...

M&M

Down size, downsize!

Gorgeous property, Suzon!

Do I laugh, or do I cry? Decisions, decisions...

Somehow I missed the original massage story, and the updates in the meantime.

Your/Dallas's story touches my heart very deeply. I get it about you absorbing his emotions. I am so glad you have such gifted people on your team.

And, Fergus? I think I'm a little bit in love with you!

M&M

Definitey Idris Elba in the Wire.

M&M

That is an excellent reason.

M&M

Fantastic! And yes, photos to your heart's content, please!

M&M

A schoolmaster AND 15 hands! What a find! (No sarcasm at all - I loved having a horse that was under 16H.)

SVV, we are all impatient to hear what happened!

M&M

We were in Warren, near Stowe, two years ago. I loved it! The Waitsfield Farmer's Market is fabulous! There were also lots of good restaurants, and fun poking around.

M&M

You gotta love a horse (and woman) who can ride I1 and western! You go,girl!

M&M

I agree with Rhiannon! I was going to say "Squee!!!" until I saw the photos of him in harness - really handsome!

M&M

What a fabulous post!

What a fabulous feature "horse of the month" is. It really helps get to know posters better through their horses' stories!

Thank you,Silk and Chancellor!
