Jesus H.! How many horses you got?

Well, we got 7! Donna, Trio, Dancer, Ellie, Gambler,Ginger,Mariah.

 All but 2 (Dancer and Gambler) are rescues. We had 8 but we couldn't get Savannah well so we had to put her down. Her hooves were not properly cared for and it really messed up her gait.
It amazes me how people can mistreat these beautiful creatures!

Okay here is a movie reccomendation: The Canterville Ghost.

This 1944 comedy is based on a story by Oscar Wilde (which is available online) and stars 6 year old Margaret O'Brein, Robert Young (Marcus Welby) and Charles Laughton. Its cute, features a troop of WWII era soldiers staying in a haunted castle, sleeping in their starched whities.

About an hour into the movie the soldiers are at a dance in town, where of course they teach the locals how to boogie-woogie. Then the most amazing thing, two soldiers clasp hand and cut the rug. Two guys, in 1944! And can they dance? They had had some practice.

I know it is all "innocent", like Young's characters obvious dedication to the 6 years old, but damn. What must a gay man, maybe passed over by the draft for sexual inversion, have thought sitting in the dark of the theater and seeing them two handsome men dance across the screne? Some thing like hope I imagine.

The follow photo appeared yesterday in the online version of the Chester County Independant, a newspaper in Henderson, Tennessee. They are: Taylar Webster, first runner up; Theresa Jones, queen; Daela Whited, second runner up in the 2007 Chester County Barbeque Festival Pagent.

I think the photo would make a wonderful lable on a whine bottle.

Holy crap! Seven? Where do you keep 'em all?

A couple of weeks ago I went to a Renaissance faire where there was a jousting exhibition. The announcer said that all the horses were rescues. One was a beautiful dapple gray.

"Unpoof"?

My Dad has 48 acres so he has plenty of room for them. Maybe a few more LOL!

That boy puffs up like a puffer fish when it's time to saddle up!
