My Yellow Horse

People have asked if I still have the horse on my avatar, and the answer is unfortunately (for me) no. I'll steal from my post on Trainer X's All That Glitters post...

"My diamond in the ruff came out of a show barn as a 2 year old. Decent bloodlines, gangly, downhill, but had 30 days of WP training (wow). Anyhow, bought him for my sister, and I hated the horse. We stayed off him till he was 3, but I still didn't get along with him. Well, things change. I started riding him, he filled out, leveled out, turned into a brick shit house with a butt to die for. Most important, however, was his great mind. I could go on and on, but basically, he was awesome. Turned out to be a barrel horse I could have gone pro on, but could also put a 2 year old on him and walk away knowing the baby would be safe."

I had a lull in my riding, so I leased him to a gal in my barn who loved him to death, and still does. After 2 years of care lease, I sold him to her. I'd say he's a pretty lucky horse. I got him as a 2 year old, and at 20 years of age, he's only had 3 owners. He has a forever home no matter what, either with his current mom, or back with me.

I know I'll find another "the one" horse. Until then, the search is on for "the one" for 2 little toads...

That is a pretty good life to live for him. When I buy a horse, they most likely live with me til they die. The ones we raise and then sell, I can only hope they have homes that value them this much.

• If you think you're too small to make a difference, try sleeping in a room with an active mosquito.
• Always take a good look at what you’re about to eat. It’s not so important to know what it is, but you should know what it was.
• Red meat is NOT bad for you. Blue-green meat, now that's bad for you!
• People who are tough never have to tell you that they are. It’s the same with people who are honest.
• Never miss a chance to shut up. Well-timed silence has more eloquence than speech.
• The easiest way to eat crow is when it’s still warm. The colder it gets the harder it is to swallow.

• Never ask a barber if you need a haircut.
• If you get to thinkin’ you’re a person of some considerable influence, try ordering someone else’s dog around.
• Don’t worry about bitin’ off more than you can chew, your mouth is likely a whole lot bigger than you think.
• The quickest way to double your money is to fold it over and put it back in your pocket.
• Don’t squat with your spurs on.
• When you’re throwing your weight around, be ready to have it thrown around by someone else.
• Telling a man to get lost and making him do it are two entirely different propositions.
• Good judgment comes from experience and a lot of that comes from bad judgment.
• When you give a personal lesson in meanness to a person or a critter don’t be surprised if they learn it.
• Generally speakin’. You ain’t learnin’ nothing when you’re the one doin’ the talkin.
• Lettin’ the cat out of the bag is a whole lot easier than putting it back in.
