This probably dates from when I was nine and was dared to ride an unbroken horse by a playmate. The horse stood still a minute then threw me. While I was still wondering what had happened, the horse (named Pepper) stepped on my foot which resulted in a never properly set bone as I kept the information to myself. Any misgivings were amplified by a friends fathers horse who was pastured across the street. Teddy was old and wise and dealt with our attempts to ride him by scraping us off on the fence. I've had other horse encounters - mostly negative, but admit they were all due to my fear. I imagine the horses communicating to their stablemates, "hey guys, watch this one!".Brittahaldnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4366076016909992831.post-42760563286548519362012-07-04T09:01:12.855+01:002012-07-04T09:01:12.855+01:00Her outfit is nice.The costumes are suitable for w...Her outfit is nice.The costumes are suitable for winter. <a href="http://www.gotapparel.com/" rel="nofollow"> sleeveless t shirts<br /></a>rubi paulnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4366076016909992831.post-53861938108126848462012-05-12T13:27:40.274+01:002012-05-12T13:27:40.274+01:00I adore this jacket pattern and am now eager to fi...I adore this jacket pattern and am now eager to fin a copy myself - wonderful structure and you have really done it justice in that plaid.

And those buttons!!!<br /><br />I love horses, though am respectful of their power and strength. My bestie, however, is scared to death. I'd forgotten that, and as we exited a play last summer and stood around chatting on the sidewalk, she suddenly started acting oddly and became a little darty. I turned around to see a handsome cab waiting for passengers, then back to my friend, who needed to walk on.

I love the fabric of the jacket too, it's so beautiful. I was a keen horse rider when I was in my teens, coincidentally it turns out that my first pony trek holiday away with the school was to the mountains not far from where I now live which, at the time, was on the other side of the country! I'm hoping to earn enough money at some point to start up again, there's a stables just up the mountain from me here and it's driving me mad to know there are horses so close that I can't ride!Torshttp://www.girlmeetswolf.co.uk/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4366076016909992831.post-43376011219085489032012-03-27T02:07:23.664+01:002012-03-27T02:07:23.664+01:00That looks fantastic on you, Debi!

I grew up riding a large egyptian arabian stallion that my grandmother owned for anyone in the fam to ride. He was beautiful, temperamental, and generally a joy to be with. I was devastated when I was in college and found out he had to be put down. He has been gone a long time now and though I still think about riding again some time, as I generally miss it, it's hard to contemplate bonding with another horse. It's nice to hear that your horse is so well-cared-for in its later years.Kimberly Goldsteinnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4366076016909992831.post-39333547554405507432012-03-26T00:58:38.897+01:002012-03-26T00:58:38.897+01:00~ * ♥ * ~
