going strong.

That's funny!  Hey do us all a favor and try sending posts in regular text format.  Some people can't read your posts because they can't receive messages in HTML.  As you can see, it's a little hard to reply to.....

There is no secret so close as that between a rider and his horse.
I got one for ya!  When I first bought Thunder, we used to ride the
roads a lot(wagon trains) and one day he just boogered at something and
jumped clear to the other side of the road. I didn`t see anything?? Then
I figured it out.....he was afraid of his own shadow!!!!! I was laffin`
so hard I about fell off......Melissa

That's hilarious!  When we started doing cross-country courses, my guy was convinced there were monsters living in the water jumps -- big horse-eating gators.  He'd take HUGE leaps over them, much bigger than over regular fences, just to make sure he was safe.

One of my horses is afraid of his own shadow too. He will be four years old this month and I was really surprised that he wasn't afraid of anything and then one day out of the blue just as you said yours did, mine about jumped out of his own skin. It was very funny.

He will probably do it for a little bit, mine did. He`s almost 12 now so
he`s well over the shadow thing but he is so funny cause he will booger
at stuff I would not think he would and don`t at things I think he will.
Another time my daughter and I was riding and we got to a very small
creek, not even a foot across and my daughters horse got up to it and
put all four feet together, scared to death and shaking, she jumped
across......LOL.......she looked like an elephant trying to stay up on a
big ball........so funny!!!!!!

<ROFL> We should just organize Ben-Hur days here, we have a couple of those
in the barn, too! It's light speed or reverse. Sometimes a stop. If we're
VERY good. Alternatively, chuck wagon races with llamas for outriders? ;)

> Breed: Registered Rack of Bones. (rescue arabian)

Poor sweet boy... how is he adjusting to finally being allowed some health
and happiness? Are you going to keep him a stallion?

I have decided that horses are funny creatures (in a good way of
course). I also have a friend with a horse that spooks at strange
things. She rides through the bush on trails and along the "not too
busy" roads nearby, and there is also a helipad nearby. She was riding
past one day when a helicopter took flight and appeared rather suddenly
above the treetops next to her and her horse didn't bat an eyelid. Later
during the same ride however, her horse leapt sideways into the path of
an oncoming truck (which stopped when they saw the crazed horse) all
because of a chip packet lying on the grass. Hmmmm... chip packet or
truck??? tough choice.

Poor little guy...how did he ever get to that state? do you have pics of
him?
Gotta do the before and after (after he's recuperated, that is!) pictures.
We fostered two rescues in the summer. They were just abandoned, and the
SPCA took them over. One was 27, and had a couple of final happy months,
and then had to be helped out. The other was about 10 and was placed in a
wonderful home where she's loved to oblivion.

> YSB you have a good sense of humor I like that

The old man was a breeding stallion at a farm and when he had outlived
his usefulness and his sons were better at it, they just started
phasing him out apparently. I went over there with a friend and saw
the state of these horses and just about died. And he was the worst.
She had pastures full of his get and didnt have the decency to take
care of him as he had her. ERRRR
I should have some pics by next week
Ewwwwwwwwwwwwwww I didnt think of the roman skirties... I have
thunder thighs LOL that is all I need is a skimpy strap of leather
trying to hide me....

Some people... )&^$#&(&!!!!!! Well, at least he has a good home now. I'll
look forward to seeing the sweet boy's pictures! How's he taking to the
beet pulp (I'm guesing it was for him)?

> Ewwwwwwwwwwwwwww I didnt think of the roman skirties... I have

Besides, how will we keep the skirtie down with one hand and wave to the
crowds with the other AND hold the drink ?? We WILL have crowds who will
gather to watch the display, won't we? Maybe throwing rose petals or small
unmarked bills or some such thing?

> LOL I would be looking for my chargers they would leave my chariot
> in the dust Burn the wheels right off.. LOL

<help i'm hurting LOL> ...i'd be limping along right behind you, suffering
sunstroke and spitting dirt and bits of grass, 'cause my faithful steeds
would be grazing in the infield, having dumped me at the clubhouse turn.
Leather skirtie, drink and all...
Come to think of it, it sounds just like the eventing cross-country phase
<LOL> ! Or one of our livelier hack rides...
