The School of Life with Horses

A blog covering my journey with my quarter horses and paint horse. Horse show news from the Pacific Northwest, to do lists, horse tips as I learn and share them, my struggles and solutions - basically everything horse as I come across it.

Update with a Smile!

FRIDAY, AUGUST 15, 2008

Ok, so I have had more coffee and have woken up a little bit, not much but a little more to type up a post, of at least a short one and then offer a joke.

I am all packed up and ready to head out and pick up Stretch but I am a little concerned about the heat predicted for this weekend. 97 Today - 100 Tomorrow - 105 on Sunday.

Two things I am worried about: Stretch and my truck. I am going to talk to my trainer on the phone here real quick about my concerns - I have alway been told it was unsafe to haul a horse in that kind of heat whether you load them up with electrolytes or not. Also my truck runs very poorly in the heat and I am worried that I will blow it the heck up trying to haul Stretch up the Lewiston grade (the longest steepest hill in the Inland NW).

So before I go charging down there I am going to call Joe and talk to hubby about my truck - I don't want to bail on the show but don't want to kill my horse trying to do it or my truck neither of which I could afford to replace so I guess I will have my answers shortly.

There's the good stuff - I just have to share it - made me blow pop out my nose when I first read it-I know some of my blog buddies will enjoy more than others (wink):

The Truth in Print

Once upon a time, a guy asked a girl 'Will you marry me?'
The girl said:'NO!'

And the girl lived happily ever-after and went shopping, dancing, camping, drank martinis, always had a clean house, never had to cook, did whatever the hell she wanted, never argued, didn't gain any weight, traveled more, she went to a horse show whenever she wanted, never had to call anyone while she was there and had a blast drinking wine with her girlfriends, she didn't save money, and had all the hot water to herself. She went to the theater, never watched sports, never wore friggin' lacy lingerie that went up her ass, had high self esteem, never cried or yelled, felt and looked fabulous in sweat pants and was pleasant all the time..........THE END.....

About inclined2ride

Live up in Northeastern Washington State - where its cold and we have snow for a loooooong time. Been riding horses since before I could walk - grew up doing the 4-H / FFA thing, and a lot of Open shows. Was educated in Western riding as well as English riding and Jumping. Survived college on Top Roman so that I could keep my horse up there with me. Am now all grown-up with a non-horse husband, and 3 horses to boot (technically 2 horses). I currently show on the local and regional Quarter Horse Circuit with a Paint Show thrown in when I can. Horses are as much a part of me as my arms or legs.
