My wife is going to thump me for posting this, but I think it's cute and just want to know if there are others out there.

For reference, this is her 13 years later.

You're right! I am going to thump you next time I get the chance!

OH Lisa you look great in both of the pictures, such a happy person and a great smile........but you and Mike are just the perfect couple LOL, they are too funny to be around for those of you who haven't had the chance to sit down and mingle with them.

 

[Belinda]

OH MY !! Mike you are right that is a Gem

Yes I remember Lisa back in those days.. as the saying goes,,

YOU'VE COME A LONG BABY !!

Nice pics. Who are the horses {thier whole names?} and are they yours?

Oh! Both pictures look so good!!! And that's neat how they had cards like that back then! I never knew they did those and it's neat to see!!! I think it is very nice how Mike and Lisa both enjoy the horses

I had to trick my husband into spilling the beans to the fact that he did actually love some of these runts by telling him that I was going to sell the one I knew was his favorite and there was a lady who was coming to look at him and really thought she wanted him. He kept saying he knew I was kidding and I kept saying I wasn't. So, then he woke me up in the middle of the night to tell me he really didn't think I should sell Eclipse because Sundance (our pony) would miss him a lot

Sundance would have missed Ecliipse, but not as much as H!

Thanks for sharing the pictures!!!

You're a lucky man, Mike! Lisa still looks gorgeous and time is being very good to her! Very, very beautiful. Thanks for posting, and oh, sorry about your future thumping.

Go easy on him Lisa. He's just so proud that you didn't fall apart after all these years like some of us......

Beautiful pictures. Im happy to have meet Lisa and her mom at the convention in Grand Rapids. Very nice people.

 

[Magic]

Hey Lisa, go easy on him; at least he posted a nice thing like that and not a pic of you that would be embarrassing, lol!! I think it's sweet that he is so proud of you.

 

[Lisa Strass]

Thank you for your nice compliments.

As far as the horses in the pictures...

The one on the card is Martin's Hawkeye who was my first miniature stallion. He was one of my youth "all around" horses, and the first horse I trained by myself. We sold him a few years ago to one of my mom's friends, Ann Ridnour, and last I knew she still owned him.

And the bottom horse is none other than B&L's Rock E Red Alert who is my current stallion.

I would have to agree with Belinda - I've come a long way. Don't you love those glasses in the first picture

And I'm very fond and proud of Hawkeye, but in a beauty contest, I'm afraid Redi wins.

I won't be too hard on Mike; he really is a sweetheart, but he is dangerous with a camera and old pictures! Just ask Belinda!

Come-off it Marty...it's only been 13 years!! It took me 24 years to "fall apart"...

Looking good Lisa!!

Shame on you, Mike! And Lisa, you should hide your pictures better!

I do have to say what an AWESOME Journal Cover Redi makes!

And to second Belinda and Erica, Lisa and Mike are wonderful people and own some outstanding horses.
