Thanks. I think.

Wow. People take everything so literally on this board. LOL. I'd actually rather meet the horse.

Do you have his address?

[wforsyth]

BTW, anyone who wants to point and laugh at me on TV today....I'll be at the Wa. State Senate hearings on Washington Home Inspector licensing.

I'll try to find a camera and wave.

(pleeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeease don't take that seriously! )

[Scott K. Harris]

Hi Wendy,
I'll also be at the Denver Commercial course. Good luck at the hearings.

[wforsyth]

Nick you need to pay for riding lessons for this guy he has his foot improperly placed in the stirrup if the horse fell he would be unable to remove his foot in time to prevent a trip to the hospital.

Wendy if you like horses I have plenty for sale (30) priced from $25,000 to $500.00 take your pick.

Hi Charley...the foot thing was probably from waving at the camera.

The horse thing....what kind of horses do you have and will you transport them? Do you have a website?

[Scott K. Harris]

Actually I was looking at the ball as it was going past me on my near side. You can see the ball just in front of the horses nose. Also this is polo not dressage, you ride with a wide stirrup and your foot deeper in becouse you are usually reaching way out all over for the ball. My equitation is fine. Check out the pros in polo magazine (online as well as printed), they ride deeper with their heels all over the place.

Hey Charley, you got any 15.2 or 3 throughbreds? Quick, handy with good minds? I coach polo at OSU and they need some new horses I can "make" for them. ??? good cause, they're great kids.

tax deductabe...

Wendy,
I have some contacts with the WSU polo club (my OSU team playes them quite a bit & I've played with the parents of some of them). There are some inexpensive ranch type horses and retired polo ponies that make great all around reining type horses. Great fun for team penning or that kind of stuff.

[wforsyth]

Sounds great! I would love to look into it.

I'm an Arabian person, but for the kids am interested in anything pushbutton yet in good shape, smart yet motivated towards the handler, and color really doesn't matter but if I'm going into reining horses buckskins, grullas and palominos are cool.

I'd be really open to donations of horses that may not have anywhere to go otherwise. When I'm able to get my acreage I want to start a retirement type facility to prevent all these gorgeous arabians who people get tired of and send off to the knackers. I have a personal problems with that kind of stuff.

BTW, I wasn't particularly concerned with your equitation. I really don't know polo but I figured there was probably a reason. I ride mostly hunt seat and dressage having worked with a three day eventer in my early teens. Once that gets into your blood....

I Raise Appaloosa Halter and or Performance.

I do not personally transport but there are commercial transport folks but are expensive.

No I have no web site; on my list to do If I live that long.
