SolitaireMare said...: Kate, Mrs.Mom, 20 meter - Thank you! It's so exciting! I called in "snow" today! Will go see him later and take a few pictures!; March 2, 2009 at 9:44 AM
Jean said...: Fantastic! Of course it had to be in the middle of a snowstorm--or are you guys not getting it.

Diego sound beautiful. I adore Thoroughbreds to start off with and big ones especially. A "little slow to the leg" is pretty nice too. I like horses that react but don't overreact.

Pictures! I agree.

And I am keeping my heart full of good vibes for you both.; March 2, 2009 at 9:46 AM

My Quotes:

“Riding a horse is not a gentle hobby, to be picked up and laid down like a game of Solitaire. It is a grand passion. It seizes a person whole and, once it has done so, he will have to accept that his life will be radically changed.”

-Ralph Waldo Emerson

"A good horse is worth more than riches."
- Spanish Proverb

"Feel the Fear - Do it Anyway"
- Susan Jeffers

RIDE FOR HER!
Somewhere behind the rider you've become,
The trainers who pushed you,
The people who believed in you,
The long hours of schooling,
The falls you've taken,
The ribbons you didn't win,
The tears and broken bones,
And the horses you've given your heart to,
Is the little girl who fell in love with the sport
And never looked back.
Ride for her!
