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

I spent the morning at a horse show. Ev couldn't ride, but we helped out and she was able to spend some time with Marcus. All in all, it was a great day.
Hey Dave have you climbed on the horse yet. Father and daughter on the trail sounds good to me for a future plan.

The madam opened the brothel door in Winnipeg and saw a rather dignified, well-dressed, good-looking man in his late forties or early fifties.


"May I help you sir?" she asked.

The man replied, "I want to see Valerie."

"Sir, Valerie is one of our most expensive ladies.


Perhaps you would prefer someone else" said the madam.

He replied, "No, I must see Valerie."

Just then, Valerie appeared and announced to the man she charged $5000 a visit. Without hesitation, the man pulled out five thousand dollars
and gave it to Valerie, and they went upstairs.


After an hour, the man calmly left.

The next night, the man appeared again, once more demanding to see Valerie.

Valerie explained that no one had ever come back two nights in a row as she was too expensive.

"There are no discounts. The price is still $5000."

Again, the man pulled out the money, gave it to Valerie, and they went upstairs.

After an hour, he left.



The following night the man was there yet again.

Everyone was astounded that he had come for a third consecutive night, but he paid Valerie
and they went upstairs.


After their session, Valerie said to the man, "No one has ever been with me three nights in a row." "Where are you from?"

The man replied,
" New Brunswick ."


"Really," she said.
"I have family in New Brunswick ."


"I know." the man said.
"Your sister died, and I am her attorney." "She asked me to give you your $15,000 inheritance."

The moral of the story is that three (3) things in life are certain:

1. Death
2. Taxes
3. Being screwed by a lawyer!



If I have offended I am sorry.

I may get a telling off for this one, however as every time I come onto the thread I get the message of script running in the background and it will slow or stop my computer which I have to keep on turning off, I figger as it happens no where else it is the forum spying on me. This may get some attention.
Have a great day. With luck I'll get to work with Bugs after I've repaired the damage Stella did to the veg garden yesterday.

I haven't. I'm not going to do anything now. Ev is very protective of Marcus and since she hasn't been able to ride him because of her knee injury. I'm going to let her have time to bond with him and then we'll figure out what I'm doing.

The horse was purchased because of the smiles it bring to Ev. I don't want to do anything to diminish that.

Very understandable Dave. How is her knee getting on, improving?

Way too funny Stan
but so true

Might get into a little strife though But in NZ we would not take that to heart.

Well we had a great day yesterday and a confusing one. With the sunlight and the rain, add to that the warm tempts and we had grass growth. Normaly we don't expect any growth untill late August. Nature sure is screwed up at the moment. I was going to put the lambs in the freezer today. Been working on that job for a few weeks now but with the rain the fleese gets wet and they are hard to skin. It rained last night so a reprieve for a short time while the sun dries them out.

Enough about sheep, but Alex if you come on over, its not a long trip over the Pacific, we will spit roast one of the lambs, a few beers or what ever it is that tickles your fancy, have one or two too meany and sit around seeing who can tell the bigest stories. Bring Brad he and I can go fishing.

Horses: They are much quiter today the wind has swung to the south west. I notice its the north westers that get them going more than any other wind direction. Any one else noticed that.

Cheers all

It is. We were on vacation for 10 days. During that time, it swelled WAY up. The swelling is now about the same as it was before we left.

The real issue is whether she'll need surgery on this knee the same way she needed it on her other knee. Her kneecap dislocates. When it does, it scrapes cartilage from the underside of the kneecap and will result in arthritis. Her right one had dislocated 12 times in 2 years. The left one had never dislocated ... until the day after she met Marcus.
 
#11,277 ·
Ouch Dave, that must be so incredibly painful for her. I think I'd want the surgery, and just get it over with.
It's pretty serious surgery. Last year we did it in the summer. Otherwise, she would have missed about a month of school.

The issue is genetic. I've dislocated my kneecaps (both of them). I never needed surgery and it hasn't happened in 25 years. We're hoping this knee is like mine and it will only happen a few times (hopefully once) and that will be it.

If she has surgery, it would likely be next summer at the earliest.
 
#11,278 ·
Oh, Dave, I hope that her knee feels much better very soon. My DH had a full knee replacement almost 10 years ago, after many years of pain and problems. Healing vibes coming her way.

Had a great community party yesterday-but my allergies kicked up & I had to come home early-DH went back & ended up the evening towing our neighbor home after his vehicle wouldn't start.

Hello everyone!!!

Loved catching up on all the goings on and photos!

Corgi, congrats on the ride!! Wish we all lived closer to ride together.

NVR, that black horse is a beauty!!

Thursday found us with family celebrating the fourth. Our niece brought home some fellow basketball player friends from college, they are from Florida, so we treated them to an adventure of goats and horses. :D. They had never petted them before!!

Friday found us in the mountains celebrating again!! Haha. Our camp friends traditionally roast beef on a spit...we added a turkey breast. Yummy!! :D. We total rednecks that night. Had a blast...had great photos to share.....until my phone got smashed during yesterday's ATV ride! :shock::shock: so unfortunately...I just HAD to upgrade my droid razr to a DNA!! Heehee. But I lost all my photos...:-(

Today I spent all morning with my troops. Started Rainn on MSM Friday night. You can tell she is already pain free!!!! She trotted out of her stall this morning, which she hasn't done in a while, and I took her for a walk....not one limp!!! That is truly AMAZING!!

jayJay is showing great signs of healing in his feet. I can barely stick the hoof pick down into the one front sulcus...it's closing up!! The back ones are coming along...but they are deeply thrushy, so it will take more time, but I do see progress. Pedi for him on Thursday!:lol:

Well, better get off here. Being picked up soon. Bret Michaels is playing up at the lake tonight. Our friend has a boat, so are going to hang and listen to the concert!!:D

Talk soon!!
