Wait, wait. In her first post his request doesn't seem outlandish. They've had some bad years, lots of bills and few good sales. I think his reasons (while hard to swallow) are actually really fair. Horses are an expensive and labor intensive hobby, often requiring (in the very least) the...

Sweet! Make sure you check your tax liability on that before you spend it all. :\

Fads come. Fads go. I think the dilute craze is on its way out, personally. I think we're moving towards moderate pinto/solid + chrome. Breed for what YOU like, because you're the one paying the bills! As for the comments that "color sells"- not always, and not all the time. Color is very...

Agree. And it's a chance to instill some trust in your son. That mom IS looking out for him, but isn't going to meddle. To her just marching into your house, MAYBE your son has told her "Sure, come on in when you get here. Mom won't mind" Maybe he wants the girl to be at ease and that you're...

Just going to chime in here, because what you're saying struck a chord with me. Well, she's 17. Chances are she'll be gone eventually. And chances are, she's exactly what you say she is. Chances. I met my husband when I was 18 and he was 19. We've been together 13 years. I never really got...

I got my nice threatening postcard informing me I am legally required to fill out the forms. I have not gotten the forms yet.... LOL.

My mother had one about 15 years ago now. She had "nerve memory" pain for a long, long time. The way I understand it, the nerve remembers that is was hurt/damaged. Anything that "jostles" it fires it right back up. She found the most helpful thing to her was PT, ice and time. She still has...

I went to my first Miniature horse show in 1992. The Bethany Show in Bethany CT. It was a story in and of itself. :D It was FREEZING cold, POURING rain, WINDY and the ring was just some yellow tape in a field. It went downhill from there. That show was epic. I laugh now about it. No one was...

The whale I take issue with. Endangered species need to be breeding, not on my plate. The horse? Don't care. I would eat horse if it was served to me. If whales came off the endangered list and there were enough to eat, I'd try that too. To Hindus the cow is sacred. Here we eat them by the...

You are so talented! I know what I'm putting on my Xmas wish list.

Haute Tension (incredibly gory, deeply disturbing, utterly terrifying) Silent Hill (you will never, ever want to go to West Virgina, ever again... although very much a "DON'T OPEN THE DOOR") The Descent (you will never ever want to go rock climbing ever again) Wolf Creek (you will never, ever...

This will probably do more to hurt your mum then her age. Employers don't want to high overqualified employees for jobs because they're afraid those employees will always have their eye on the door and leave when something better and more suitable comes along. I ran into the issue many times...

Yes! It's been out of print for years, but you can get it on Ebay usually. It's called "Piper At the Gate"- the Aussie edition was called "Piper At the Gates of Dawn" You are only the third person I've EVER met who knows those books. There are all kinds of continuity errors- good for a laugh...

Non fantasy is Jean M Auel's Earth Children series (Clan of the Cave Bear, Valley of the Horses, the Mammoth Hunters, Plains of Passage and Shelters of Stone) Plains of Passage is my favorite. Shelters of Stone is pretty much a soapbox but I waited 12 years for it so I read it. :P This is an...

Robert Jordon's Wheel of Time

It's my understanding Orion was first registered with the IMHR, which merged with AMHA. AMHA accepted IMHR's papers. I would imagine Orion's AMHR papers came along at a later date. Bingo. The AMHA was open until 1987 (or was it 1985? Anyway...) Meaning any horse that was 34" or under could get...

Actually, unless something has changed, in the AMHA books his sire is listed as unknown. You should never trust pedigreequery 100%, as anyone can go in there and put anything they want. ;) JC Williams and I spoke before he died, and I asked him about Orion- he said his sire "had" to be Jim...

The appy comes from Dell Tera's Jim Dandy (who was very likely the sire of Orion Light Van't Huttenest according to JC Williams) through Stardust. Dell Tera's Stardust was an amazing producer with a long list of successful and stunning offspring... check out her production list. You'll see her...
