I was wearing a long skirt, which was decorated with a netting at the hem. I arrived at the gig and everything went well until one of the women commented on the lovely decoration on my my skirt. I looked down and straw was caught in the netting!<BR/><BR/>Harmony,<BR/>JanetJanet Roperhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16305454960382923870noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3502872387219876077.post-78344601394335457962008-04-11T04:30:00.000-07:002008-04-11T04:30:00.000-07:00Janet,I had to laugh out loud when you left your c...Janet,<BR/><BR/>I had to laugh out loud when you left your comment about going to the barn all dressed up.<BR/><BR/>Right before I left to attend my graduation ceremony from social work school I had to visit my horse, Patti. I was dressed to kill of course, as we all were going to go out to celebrate this monumental event. Grinning here!<BR/><BR/>Arriving at the barn, I went to her stall and opened the door. She gazed at me in bewilderment. It was if she hardly recognized me. She turned her back to me as if I was a complete stranger. Very odd behavior for her. She always came up to give me a snuggle.<BR/><BR/>I think it was my perfume more than anything that put her off. But I went in to the stall, and put my arms around her anyway. <BR/><BR/>So I smelled horsey.. LOL. I could care less. <BR/><BR/>My master's thesis was written about riding for the handicapped, so I considered myself fully dressed for the occassion.<BR/><BR/>Horses are remarkable, aren't they?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3502872387219876077.post-64230937080038520632008-04-10T19:41:00.000-07:002008-04-10T19:41:00.000-07:00That was so adorable and so Very true!!!

I lo...This is such a terrific posting and so true! I loved reading it.<BR/><BR/>I went to see my horse Shiloh today directly after I'd performed a gig (I fiddle around when I'm not horsing around). I was dressed for a performance, complete with makeup and decent shoes. Here in MN it was raining, snowing, sleeting and very windy. I arrived at the barn, ran in, gave Shiloh his feed and meds and ran back through the icky weather and mud to the sanctuary of my car.<BR/><BR/>I did not hug my horse today. It was not a perfect day.<BR/><BR/>Harmony to all,<BR/>Janet RoperJanet Roperhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16305454960382923870noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3502872387219876077.post-35882515828191222722008-04-10T09:58:00.000-07:002008-04-10T09:58:00.000-07:00Horses were a dream of mine since a child.

I look at videos and cry at the oneness we had. She 'outgrew her spacesuit' (as a friend lovingly put it) and had to be put down at 31. All of those lakes we swam together , bareback 1/4 mile races at the 3 day rodeo, rodeo, riding with the Durango Gunslingers, horse shows, parades. Every day was an adventure! I cry for the horses who won't be blessed with having a human. But most of all I feel for a human who wasn't allowed to love and have the respect of such a majestic being! Thanks Jo! The rules are funny. Especially the one about 1000 pounds. 'SAVE THE AMERICAN COWBOY...YOU BETTER DO IT NOW BOY!' michael martin murphy.. I am Kim. Please think before you breed! If this is NOT a lifetime commentment this horses future could end up a very sad one. Also, call it spoliling perhaps? But it is so much easier to love these beings through life then to beat them into someting they don't understand. Horses are unconditional love. Horses also aren't something many 'get' these days. So please share your horses and the love for them with others. Especially the children!<BR/>HAVE YOU HUGGED YOUR HORSE TODAY?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3502872387219876077.post-87693697089135857332008-04-10T09:06:00.000-07:002008-04-10T09:06:00.000-07:00I think out of the 26 rules for having horses, abo...I think out of the 26 rules for having horses, about 23 of them apply to me. This is just hysterical, but so true. But they do bring a lot of joy into my life, and I love them dearly.Vickihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16236893256961003498noreply@blogger.com
