That would be great!

I think she was messing with me? There was zero indication of an issue the next day or since. Horses don't "mess with" us. They simply don't think that way. There was an issue that day, and not the next. Showing her displeasure/unwillingness is the only way she has to indicate a reaction ...

KathyK

Smober!

Aha! That makes more sense than anything I can come up with, lol.

KathyK

Can anyone explain the reason for the way the ends of these reins are attached (lower part of picture)? There's no buckle, and the leather is sewn together and there's a keeper that holds the reins together.

He's dressed so nicely, I'd call him Tux.

Love "Shetland." Season 5 is waiting for me at the library.

KathyK

I have started watching "Rectify." It's marvelous.

KathyK

Wow, just wow. She's running a huge risk by knowingly allowing a potential terrible accident. No wonder you have little love for her.

KathyK

Not dumb! The very fact that you asked about it here proves it.

KathyK

It is interesting reading, for sure. One can substitute any of a number of descriptive terms for "interesting." Let's just hope she doesn't find her way here, lol.

KathyK

Next thing you know, Trump will be impeached, lol!

KathyK

Congratulations!

KathyK

EVERYTHING WILL BE FINE. Fingers are crossed for the purchase of the new place (which sounds great) and a soft landing for the horses.

KathyK

I hope another that ticks your check boxes comes along soon, and in a way that you feel comfortable and happy.

You can get all kinds of responses telling about people's experiences, good and bad, with buying sight unseen, but none of them have any bearing on your decision. It's a crap shoot. It could work out well; it could be a disaster. But other people's experiences aren't going to have any kind of influe...

I have approached a similar space by hanging multiple smaller pieces -- a gallery wall. Here are some examples:

I am perplexed by someone being described as n "years young." I recently read that Queen Elizabeth is "93 years young." So silly and condescending. It's even worse when someone is trying to unload a senior horse and refers to it in the ad as "22 years young." Right. Now...

KathyK

Awesome!

KathyK

I hate it when I'm having a meal at a restaurant and they start clearing places before everyone's done eating.

KathyK

My heart hurts for you.

KathyK

Today brought out another annoyance! I have a co-worker that when she emails, she puts it in "text" language. This is business communication not texting your buddy down the street ! UGH My last boss used "gonna" and "wanna" in her business emails. Awful, just awful.

KathyK

Coconut oil feels a little oily going on, but sinks in and (if you don't use too much) doesn't leave you feeling oily. I shower at night and in the morning, my skin feels soft and hydrated, not oily at all.

KathyK

Coconut oil. (Refined, if, like me, you don't want to smell like coconut.)

KathyK

I'm sad for you, Kelo. I also remember when you got him back and brought him back to health. His final years were wonderful. He couldn't have asked for more.

KathyK

The hunter world is very much about style, and all the judging is subjective but not really based on a written standard. "Unconventional" tack (and even clothing, IMO) can be penalized. Judge doesn't like your rounded cantle? Boom, points off. It's one of the things I love about dressage. ...

KathyK

Simply adorable!

KathyK

I’m an all or nothing person. I could never have a drag or a puff. I’d go back to full blown smoking. Same for me. I quit almost 30 years ago, and every now and then, I have what I call THE DREAM. In THE DREAM, I have started smoking again and I am very unhappy about it. It's funny because I haven'...

Welcome to the DDBB, Laurie. I'm curious about it, as well. It's been discussed here at some length (as you can imagine).

I'm so very sorry, Tarlo.

KathyK

Somehow, six different people have come up to me at the barn and asked me why don’t you just put him out to pasture and retire him? One, I was advised, was going to have some kind of intervention with me to save his life, and another offered to take him and retire him at her far distant property wh...

KathyK

Brag on! I don't blame you one bit for being proud of his accomplishments.

KathyK

Heartbreaking, just heartbreaking. Doing the right thing can be so very hard. Hugs.

KathyK

I'm sorry this happened. I thought that post came very close to advertising, even though nothing was actually being sold. And the response to your PM was quite immature. We all appreciate the board and are grateful to you for providing it to us.

KathyK

Sounds like good news on both fronts. I sure hope Friday brings even more good news.

KathyK

Jingling for both of them, khall.

KathyK

You have had way more than your share of rotten luck, DJR. Hoping hard that Jet has a full recovery. If anyone can do the best for him, it is you.

KathyK

Really nice!

KathyK

Wow, it's hard to believe that's the same shoulder! Well done!

KathyK

I am also in my 70s and I would not take it as a compliment. I would find it (intentionally or not) demeaning. A 60 year old woman is not a girl. And she is not "60 years young," either.

You make statements that aren't true, then accuse me of arguing when I say they aren't true. I've had enough of this silliness.

KathyK

Drama? Here? No way!

KathyK

This is weird. My reply disappeared. I would not call DeKunnfy an expert. He talks and a lot and repeats a lot of theory. He has not applied it or lived it, taught it or rode it. When I did the L program, he would say things that sounded really good in theory, but in application, they didn't work. ...

KathyK

Tanga didn't ask anything, just made a statement.

KathyK

Retired "S" judge, inducted into the USDF Hall of Fame in 2013, J.J. Tate's mentor. Pretty good for a groom.

KathyK

As for DeKunffy, I would never call him an expert. I knew him and he lived around here. He wrote many books and he had many theories, but little actual knowledge from practical application. He came from Hungary as an 18 year old groom and that was his big experience. This is a very odd statement. E...

Its hard to get volunteers though and we tend to have the same stalwart ones year after year. And, ironically, this is what makes other people call the GMO "cliquey." The reason they read the same names again and again is that this small percentage of the membership is doing the majority ...

KathyK

Kelo wrote:GMOs or any club requires a lot of work and coordination from volunteer members. The newsletters even more so to create the content and publish.

This is the crux of it. Newsletters don't put themselves together and publish themselves. Without dedicated volunteers, GMOs cannot exist.

KathyK

I'd have to go with Horsey McHorseface, but since that's not an option I'll sit this one out.

KathyK

Unfortunately, there are, have been, and always will be self-centered, clueless people in the world. Let's hope she's not raising children for whom she's modeling this behavior.
