You totally deserve it....Congrats on the award, PG. You totally deserve it. I'm so glad I discovered your blog this year. I have to admit, though, it was My Boy that drew me like a moth to a flame. lol!<BR/><BR/>I had forgotten that he became yours around Christmas. How cool is that! I first me my horse Baby Doll just a month later and brought her home in February. Hard to believe it's almost been a year now.<BR/>Keifer Sutherland eh? What an exciting life you lead, my friend! lol :)<BR/><BR/>Funny you mention your product obsession and Sephora. My neighbor's daughter works there at the mall. I'd never heard of the place before that. Can you tell I have a bare minimum of product in my house? hehe <BR/><BR/>And I had no idea you'd never fallen from a horse before. I figured after all your wild years riding ponies that you'd have at least fallen off once. You must be made for a saddle seat, PG!<BR/><BR/>Happy Thanksgiving, PG!<BR/>Hope it's filled with good food, wonderful friends and family, and many happy memories to be made :)<BR/><BR/>~Lisa<BR/>New MexicoLaughing Orca Ranchhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03562627840013868980noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8237219937417683108.post-69068848410969802462008-11-25T19:12:00.000-08:002008-11-25T19:12:00.000-08:00The way to go to Europe, I think, is to go to Ital...The way to go to Europe, I think, is to go to Italy and go riding. Check out Il Poggio in Tuscany! They are real horse people and also have a vineyard and make cheese, have really nice horses and you ride to some wonderful places, along old Roman roads, through medieval villages, and always break for lunch in the field...a wonderful picnic with locally-produced cheeses, wine and wonderful salads and treats! Yum. The accomodations are excellent....you get a day in Siena, too....my niece and I went about five years ago and we're still talking about it!!! <BR/>Kiefer S. used to (maybe still does) own property in NM, south of Albuquerque. People there used to see him riding.

Whenever people see my scars (I had to have surgery for two of them) they always say "Did that happen from riding one of your horses?" Nope!<BR/><BR/>About Kiefer...I have always liked his father, Donald, as well!

I was in a riding accident a few years back and completely swore off horses. Sold my 2yo Palomino gelding. :o( I got into dog rescue and met my hubby and sort of never got back. But the past year I have been feeling a real intense pull to get back in the barn. I even miss pitching shit. MAN! I have realized I was an idiot to ever think I could live a day without horses. Which is why I cant wait to get back to reading your blog! If you ever see mine, you'll find that its pretty much dog oriented. But there are some equine surprises I've thrown in there. Your Appy is STUNNING by the way! Talk about envy already! <BR/>EmEmilyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09130441009871117783noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8237219937417683108.post-87771610870840901932008-11-25T10:25:00.000-08:002008-11-25T10:25:00.000-08:00I'm a shampoo/conditioner junkie too.

She just recommended a nourishing shampoo/conditioner called Phyto Organics. You should try it! It is really nice and my hair is super soft and silky.

I don't know your guys history but it almost sound a little more like a control issue with him unless he is actually fearful? <BR/>Yo might try some controlled ground work, bring him in and work him ion a small area without actually catching him. This is more or less round penning with a bit more focus, choose a space on the rail for your whoa and direct him there if he will stand quiet to handle he can stay ,if not drive him around again and ask for the whoa, again move in and try to get a rope on his neck or slow down and just rub him if he accepts it and stands press on if not push him to go around again ( the goal of this is to make the space you choose his safe comfortable space)your body language needs to be strong think Alfa horse though not particularly aggressive. I use this with unhandled youngsters and hard to catch older horses and fin it fairly successful though it can take time. Again I don't know your horses history but even if it is a fear issue it should work with consistency. Hope I explained it clearly .Sherry Sikstromhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15739108723318002627noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8237219937417683108.post-13054058786481160412008-11-25T07:22:00.000-08:002008-11-25T07:22:00.000-08:00First off, I'm a little jealous that you're JUST N...First off, I'm a little jealous that you're JUST NOW getting a hint of wintery weather. Winter came super early to Ohio and we've had snow on the ground for over a week now. I was in the middle of a full blown snowstorm up near the Great Lakes where they've got over a foot of snow. Going to be a long winter.<BR/><BR/>I've always been a fan of Jack Bauer, and he's even better now that I know he can ride a horse. They should totally pull off some horse travel now that he's not going to be working in LA anymore. Chasing some bad guys around in the Southwest on horseback would be pretty sweet.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8237219937417683108.post-35113301361086598702008-11-25T04:48:00.000-08:002008-11-25T04:48:00.000-08:00Awww.

They are yachting rope reins, and when they were brand new a year ago (really white) he was weird and head shy about it, too.<BR/>This time, he did give me a little grief about getting the headstall on, too. But in the past, I have never noticed this to be a problem and I am always very gentle putting it over and off his ears, etc. Any thoughts?Pony Girlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02464088874054923635noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8237219937417683108.post-39707418365588441522008-11-24T21:50:00.000-08:002008-11-24T21:50:00.000-08:00Hi I see you stopped by my blog, I have checked ou...Hi I see you stopped by my blog, I have checked out this one before but did not stop to say hi.
