Breed Stereotype Haiku

An apology:
FarmWife has been quite busy,
transcriptionist tied up.



Desert sheik's steed—
Nostrils and eyes all agog,
Master of the spook.



Justin Morgan had
A horse to beat all horses
Foundation type, please!



Ich bin fancy horse
Ich cost such many dollars
Trainer rides me first



Cute as pie and strong
With a rockin' mohawk, dude
Don't call Fjords ponies.




Thin grade stud for sale
Homozygous cremello
Butt high but who cares?



Bought out of a field
Flown across the sea and bathed
Now poops gilded turds.



We fret and fuss, true.
We are honest, though, and brave
And our hearts are huge.



Breeding halter foals
Giant butts and tiny feet
Ruining good stock.



Shines in the showring
An American sporthorse?
Good brains, weird toplines.

    Littledog, you (your horse?) is very attractive, especially for a non-mule! The looks-decent wagon didn't pass you by . . .

Here are the Cloud Dog's X-Rays

Here, for your edification, are the X-rays of dear Paisley's leg. There is, apparently, no new break (since his Monday siezure) but there is, of course, a great deal of abnormality caused by years of living with a shortened ulna. His pronounced lameness, the vet says, may temporarily improve. Unlike me, Fenway Bartholomule, poor cloud dog can't expect much in the way of a full recovery.   Not having the $$$$ for surgery to fuse the joint, we are working on making some sort of rigid splint to support the limb and prevent further degeneration. That is, the humans (with their space-age material inventions and their opposable thumbs) are working on making a splint; I am working on giving cloud dog brayful looks of support and encouragement every time he totters into the yard to relieve himself. As always, he fears me (me?!) and keeps his distance.  Ears to you,  Fenway

Saddle fitting nightmare

I wonder if they had to pay a saddle fitter to tell them the Schleese didn't fit. FB http://www.besthorsestuff.com/ShowAd/index.php?id=4deed0d102f85 For Sale: 18 inch Schleese Jes Elite dressage saddle with Flair Air panels.  This saddle is in exceptionally good, like-new condition with the exception of needing repairs to the front left air bag.  Our Schleese saddle fitter (at the May 28, 2011 fitting) quoted the repair cost at $75-$150. The tree is currently set to "wide" and can be fully adjusted by a saddle fitter.  See the Schleese website for more details. Asking $1200 OBO, a significantly reduced price compared to the current market value of $2000 for the same saddle in pristine, like-new condition. NOTE:  The "saddle rack" is not for sale.  Heehee! Please contact us for more details, serial numbers, questions, or pictures of the saddle.  This is very nice, quality, comfortable and correct saddle for a fraction of the cost, even after the r...
