I thought I would start a new thread for people over 40
who love horses.
This thread is open to owners leasers an people who
love horses
I will start I am 48 years old and I never yet owned a horse
mainly because of finances.
I have been around horses most of my life. I have ridden
all kinds of horses first ponies then horses
I have ridden Arab, Quarter Horses, Morgans, Appendix Quarter horses.
Thoroughbreds, Appaloosas, American Saddlebreds and Paints and lots of mixed breeds too and all sizes 14hh-17hh
I have ridden both English and western
here is are pictures of me riding my friends Pinto 14hh
and my friends Half Arab
My husband knows how much I would love my own horse so in the spring we are looking in to leasing a horse
Ladona, Blue certainly is multi-talented, isn't he?
I've popped in the ofc from time to time as possible to check on Tevis stats. Phantom sure is smokin' up there!! Yup, sure has been on my mind today, here's to vicarious wonderful accomplishments! I gotta find that album on the FB page before I crash. Wonder if all of our combined emotional/mental energy can be felt by Phantom somehow?! Go Phantom, onward Sultan!
HP, good to hear hay was out today!
Lo & behold, a big horse trailer & truck appeared in the admin parking lot today. Was going to ticket it, as such a thing needs to be on the street, but...a horse head popped out of the window!. Well, don't see that every day. No ticket, obviously. Scritched her neck (yes, HP, stole that word from you!) & got a good whiff of horsey aroma.
Well, Phantom has checked in at Forest Hills. Holy Smokes. I'm glad I don't have to work tomorrow. I'll be up all night waiting for our girl and Sultan to bring it on home!
I cannot wait to hear the stories Dawn will have! She should be just about ready to leave her Foresthill stop over (1 hr stop). I have to go to bed but I bet I check the site once in a while!! Prayers for a speedy and safe finish for Dawn and Sultan. :gallop:
According to the results I'm getting she hasn't left her last check point yet. It's been about and hour and a half. I wish there was a way to check what the delay is about. Any one know?
Hi everyone. How are you finding Phantoms and Sultans placing ? I found where it shows what checkpoints they've been through. This is soooooo exciting Posted via Mobile Device
She is still not moving. I'm starting to get worried. Riders are supposed to be out of the Foresthill check point at 9:45pm. Unless her status has not been updated she may be pulled due to time. Others in her group are far ahead.
Potato Robinson crossed the finish line at 10:05 pm.
Well done for getting as far as you did. I figured you had to pull out when it kept showing you at Foresthill for so long. You must both be exhausted. Get some rest and fill us in later.
PH - What a thrill. What an accomplishment! I am proud to "know" you. Getting as far as you did is phenomenal! Get some rest. Hugs for your warrior horse. Hope he is feeling better in the am.
Awesome job, Phantom! Sorry you had to pull out, but wow...I'm in awe, what an amazing experience!! I'm proud to "know" you too! Sultan going to be alright? (Ok, gotta ask...someone please tell me what NQR means...) You & Sultan get some rest...!
PH, what an experience. You've done a great job. Can't wait to hear the whole story. If you and Sultan are fine, then all is good. :loveshower:
Have a safe trip home.
DH kept asking results all day, I think I infected him with the Tevis bug. Considering I want to do it and he always thought endurance is a weird idea (how can trotting for 10-15-20 hours be fun?), I'm thrilled he got interested.
Now, who is going to get the Haggins Cup?
The top 10 riders present their horse to the vets the next morning and one gets awarded the "best condition" Haggins Cup. It is an amazing honor, even more than being first in the race, in my book. Means your horse was well taken care of, and ready for the job.
Corgi, Blue is a clown!
Working ER, got a go. Have a nice Sunday everyone.:wave:
