Ha! My friend has the same problem, but it is her teenage SON who leaps onto the couch with the denim quilt! It seemed to be a pretty hot comodity last winter; everyone fought over it because of its' heavy warmth. I wanted to add...the reason I advise to lay-flat-to-dry is because the DRYER...

I made a denim/flannel quilt for a friend and it turned out great! I'm now saving Wrangler jeans for my OWN denim (raggedy or frayed-edge) quilt and I'm stock-piling *other* jeans for a denim quilt for my husband. I have advised my friend to wash in the gentle cycle and try to lay-flat to dry...

I've collected models since 1974, starting with the Proud Arabian Foal. I now have over 250 models, but I don't know ANYTHING about showing them. Do you have to repaint or reposition them? Do they get shown in original finish only? Do you customize them? Tell me what you can about showing...

I do not know the technical reasons, but this is how I understand it... You must have one roan parent to get a roan foal, but you would only get roan 50% of the time, even when breeding to two roans. There are no homozygous roan foals, because they are always lost before pregnancy can be...

This is so funny! Saturday I picked up the book I requested at my local library...titled: "And Miles To Go"! I had read it in grade school and wanted to read it again. I also picked up at the library today, a book about the Lipizzans but it is not the type of book I was after. This book...

Ah...but those lights ARE designed to be used underwater. Key word here being "designed". Flood lamps and most other bulbs are NOT. Heidi

"Collection is round, gathered, pushing through from the hindquarters..." I thought that was what I was seeing her do when she was cantering. She did not appear all strung out, she was keeping her hind legs under herself and moving nicely. I do understand that her jog was just a jog and that...

Your daughter is a GOOD rider and Kya is carrying herself and her rider just fine. I could not see any excessive pastern sink, even at the canter. Your daughter has a good seat, not bouncing all over and at the canter she casually raised her hand to tuck back her hair...that speaks of...

A firend of mine collected them, and also collected the holiday ones (all holidays) and she pulls them out for each holiday and puts them on her mantle. The rest of her collection is on a shelf around the top of her bedroom on display. Heidi

Wow! That would be wonderful, but tell him not to put himself out...I'm sure I'll eventually be able to track down a book. I just wanted to know more in depth about it than what they said at the Performance I attended. There was something about the Germans had the horses, Russia was moving in...

I think that is great! Every boy needs a dog and it sounds like Churchill has opened a new way for him to release tension and have positive results at school. I recently met Gen. George Patton's grandson (George Patton-Waters) at the Vienna Lipizzan Stallion tour of America last weekend. The...

Balance is a key issue. Think of the difference of picking up a child when it is awake and 'helping' you and when it is asleep and a 'dead weight'. If a rider is balanced and 'helps' the horse rather than lolling all over it, I don't think weight is much of an issue. It is far more...

2006 Breyers? Early ordering? Anyone have a link they can post? Heidi

I agree that livestock does fine during winter days as long as the wind isn't screaming. It is good for them to get fresh air. What it sounds like to me, is your father is having trouble with his limitations and would like to be in control of something, even if he can't control himself...

I would think so... My filly Q is the only buckskin out of 6 pairings of her sire/dam that resulted in all 5 other foals being palomino. Dam was a red dun (chestnut or sorrel/dun) and sire was a perlino. Ordinarily, you'd think the agouti came from the perlino (being that perlino is a double...

You should be able to get plenty. I only took about 18 pictures because I wanted to SEE everything myself, not continually look at it through my camera. Other than the long-line performance, the arena is VERY well lit and should be fine for your cameras. However, I will BEG you to post your...

After we lost our first (married together) cat to the road, we decided they had to be indoor only. I do have two outdoor barn cats but they came feral with the property and have been trapped/spayed/neutered/vaccinated. The male is friendly, the female is still working on it but will let me...

Yes Outlaw, you saw Lipizzan stallions and the fact that you included the Andalusian stallion confirms for me that this was one of the American touring companies and absolutely NOT the Spanish Riding School of Vienna Lipizzans and riders. I reiterate that the SRSofV has not been in America...

My tickets said no flash photography or video filming. However I saw MANY flashes from cameras all over the arena. I was able to turn the flash off on my camera and I felt it still took great pictures. I had also covered my red blink-light on the front with a sticker to eliminate that...

I didn't know what a Royal Box was either until the announcer pointed it out. I suppose, the "Royal Box" in Vienna is at the opposite end of the arena from where the horses enter to perform. All performances begin and end with the riders removing their hats in sync and all facing the same end...
