Hi all! So yesterday morning I felt really nauseous and didnt really think anything of it because I have acid reflux and haven't been taking my stomach pills. This morning I went to nibble on a Hershey bar and it was almost like I didnt like it, which I know to be false because hershey's is my absolute favorite. So...I took a pregnancy test...and it came back positive! Me and my boyfriend have been trying since late March. But I'm still kind of in shock and a little bit scared due to me having a miscarriage 6 years ago this month. I'm super stoked but I cant help but have that in the back of my mind. The doctor i talked to, after getting lectured about not going to the er and getting a D&C said it wasnt my fault but I'm still nervous. And no. This isnt a joke. ]]> https://mail.develop.huntandjump.com/forum/discussion/63116/keep-my-friend-and-her-son-in-your-prayers Tue, 31 Jul 2018 04:26:09 -0700 best friend 63116@/forum/discussions https://mail.develop.huntandjump.com/forum/discussion/62977/justify-has-been-retired Wed, 25 Jul 2018 20:55:22 -0700 levesel2 62977@/forum/discussions https://mail.develop.huntandjump.com/forum/discussion/62957/gonna-be-a-lil-worried-a-while-major-update Wed, 25 Jul 2018 06:14:15 -0700 SpryOfJune 62957@/forum/discussions

Smoking The Silver

So, I am having a hell of a week at work.

I won't go into it, it is just part of the job I do and the nature of the industry that I work in. Nothing cataclysmic is going on but it has just been a long, tiring week full of frustration and stress and a bit more BS than is the norm.

Nursery rhymes and reading were a huge part of my childhood and upbringing. In turn I became a very poetic soul. Unfortunately I have allowed life to tear me away from my writing. I have not picked up a pen in years.

Even so, in times of stress I have this thing where, when my mind starts getting super hectic, I have a tendency to unconsciously start reciting old nursery rhymes and poems in my head.
It is as if it is some sort of "auto de-stress" for my psyche.

Because I have allowed this game (and you wonderful people) to take over my life the rhymes and such that pop into my head are usually equine themed.
This one has been the most prevalent.

The little girl above is the closest thing I have in my barn to "Dapple Grey" as I don't have many ponies or greys (especially boys!) and I felt like using one of my silver blacks would be cheating. LOL!

So please! If you feel like amusing me, show me your "Dapple Grey"!

I kinda want to do a "thing" with this so maybe in a few days I will post another equine related nursery rhyme (or poem) and see what everyone’s' vision of the horses in them are.
Maybe I will turn it into a game with some sort of prize! I don't have much... maybe straws from my boys?

Anyway, if you decide to play with me, thanks for being so awesome!]]> https://mail.develop.huntandjump.com/forum/discussion/63029/random-thought-and-suggestion Fri, 27 Jul 2018 18:22:16 -0700 EasternShowBarn 63029@/forum/discussions https://mail.develop.huntandjump.com/forum/discussion/62998/happy-birthday-orion- Thu, 26 Jul 2018 05:53:12 -0700 best friend 62998@/forum/discussions https://mail.develop.huntandjump.com/forum/discussion/62757/omg-guess-what-guys Thu, 19 Jul 2018 00:15:52 -0700 SpryOfJune 62757@/forum/discussions years I'm so excited!

Now, I show American Paint Horses, which is what got me into the genetics cause I wanted to learn all the patters. APHA has a category for horses that have excess white, (regular registry) and then for horses whose parents are paints but they don't have enough visible white (solid paint bred).

For the longest time these solid horses were considered sub-par and have little value in regards to doing breed shows, which isnt right. However APHA just changed the rules to allow these horses in if there is a genetic test done to prove they carry a color gene! They test for Tobiano; Frame Overo; Sabino 1; Splash White 1, 2 or 3; and Dominant White 5, 10 or 20!

So Im looking at buying a yearling that was tested and has white 20 and I was able to explain to my trainer what that was and how it interacts with other patterns and how since his sire is Hom w20 with frame overo, with this new rule all the foals will be eligible for regular registry!

Everyone was surprised and asked how I knew so much about it and I got to give credit to this game for all of it!

So thank you Ammit and everyone else for educating me and many others on all this stuff!

what's going on there? Is it a halter with reins attached? Is it a western style bridle, put on upside down? Does anyone have any ideas?

I've seen some odd stuff, but this 'reins to the ears' thing is definitely a new one O.O

He has only put in maybe 20 minutes of work in the last 6 days. I deal with the house from the time I get up til I can't go no more. We both have health issues and I understand that.

The first lecture we had was this morning, and halfway through I was having trouble focusing on what the professor was saying because I couldn't get out of my head, if that makes sense lol. We have lecture and lab every Monday-Thursday with an exam every week. I didn't sleep at all last night cause I was so anxious over this class and the fact that I have to pass. Do any of you have tips for staying motivated/positive or how to stay focused in class and when I work on the homework and study?

I have never had this much difficulty with a class before and I have no idea what to do or how to handle it.]]> https://mail.develop.huntandjump.com/forum/discussion/62446/look-at-the-cuteness Wed, 11 Jul 2018 15:49:54 -0700 SandyHoof 62446@/forum/discussions

Can figure out how to post a picture. Im not a computer person.

So here is Gunner and Vince. Gunner is almost year old sporthorse. We normally sell our babys off at this time. Gunner out my girlfriend mare so he not ours.
Vince has fall in love with Gunner. Started out horribly. He couldnt get him form the feild to now He standing nicly for groom. They really bloomed together.
Now Vince doesnt know I secretly gotten him. He been upset with idea people coming in to view the yearlings. He won't ament to not wanting him to go. He got the "Im a men and it has to be done." Deep down I know he be heart broken.
Yesterday the farrier out. Vince was down asking He getting done, he needs more hay, his stall little wet...he just fussy over him the whole time.
So I keep my riding horses at the other barn. Im gonna move him there when he leaves one day. Not gonna tell him.
Is it abuse to tell him Gunner was sold and moved? Then letting him find Gunner at the other farm with his name on the stall plate as owner. That abusive?
Other nice thing is, he be off my boys. He hasn't be able to afford horse for few years now. He had sell his strawberry roan. He was sad about it. I believe he doesnt want heart break again of selling. The poor thing.
Now Im at the part sending in his reg. paper. I cant pick a name. Need send papers off tomorrow. Can you guys help.

Sire is Desert Society Symbol aka Big Boy
Dam is Ms Colenso aka Goose

Though about
Gunning down the Goose
Big Goose
Big Gooseso

I would like Goose in there somewhere. But I just cant seem get the one. I tired asking Vince he dont wanna name him because he fear getting to close. ]]> https://mail.develop.huntandjump.com/forum/discussion/62135/sharing-my-pasture-foals- Thu, 05 Jul 2018 16:09:43 -0700 MariaChapinFarm3 62135@/forum/discussions

He is white with orange and a medium fluff coat. He is also kind and very quirky.
So I went to the kitchen for a snack and chose a banana. I had a very silly notion to hold it like a lazor shooting hand gun. So I point and get all squinty eyed and looked around for a target. Low and behold there sat Mozie in the door way. I pointed and proceded to say "Pew Pew.. Pew Pew" complete with kickback. Well... Hed dart away in a spunky run with every pew! I began laughing and had to tell the hubby. Get this. Apparently hubby has been pointing finger guns at him and he runs with every "bang". Its their "thing".
*Fyi mozie is not afraid in any means. Its totoally his game lol]]>
