these are some of the horses I rode during my bid for a seat on the US Olympic squad bid I made the B team but had a serious accident that ended my ridding first was an Argentine thorbread named Bon Chance the second is a Percheron/thorbread, Named Prime time. both were ownd by me. I did get to ride many others owned by some movie actors, Paying for it now in terms of motor loss but----ah the memories (the last picture was taken from a photo I had)and yes i had hair then LOL >:(

They are sure beautiful horses Bill. I'm sure you loved it. I've only ridden once and it was a guided trail trip. Not much fun. Hope all is well!

My wife has two horses...

They eat and they poop.


Wow man! Olympics "B" Team is serious stuff! Congratulations on that!
I'm sorry to hear it didnt work out and you're no longer riding.

I adore horses, thanks for sharing bill.. they are magnificent animals.. My sons gf has two.. She does the show horse thing too.. tons of ribbons shes got..but the two horses shes have are divine, ones a gray arabian ( former race horse named Danny) whom I adoreeeeeeeeeeeee, I have a thing for grays.. I just love em.. and the other is chestnut hes a bit spirited but a beaut as well.. everytime my son goes and helps her in the barn, after hes done cleaning the stalls and feeding them, when billy goes to fill the water thingy for him, he deliberately knocks it over....its like a game between the two and usually billy gets all wet... or after hes done grooming him... the chestnut one turns round like oh yea, watch this..goes out in the pasture to where the one dirt spot is...falls n rolls ...lol.... but they are so funny, when the school bus comes, those horses know their girls are comming home..and go racing up to the end of the fence to wait for em.. dumb animals huh.... I just love em...

thanks for sharing Bill

Yea horses are worse then kids always getting in trouble the chestnut one used to stick his head through his stall window while i sat on the tack trunk and would rest his head on my soulder when we used to trailer him in the big rig he would always escape the stall and wind up sticking his head out the side loading gate as we went down the highway out of all the horses I owned i liked him the best and ive owned a few
