Lets See..

Well, I haven't done anything here in while it seems. Well I had a show yesterday. Did ok-ish. Umm I go back to school Wednesday. I visited Lake Erie College a few weeks ago. I rode Jasmine today. There really hasn't been anything too exciting going on right now, but I
ll let you know when something does. My computer is being stupid so I'm on a laptop which I usually hate so no cool links are weird finding since i'm not on it all the time since I have to share it with my sister. Well that's my life so far. Isn't it so awesome? :D

Losing masculinity?

I was wondering on some of those wonderful sale websites and came across some geldings and stallions that had names that were less than masculine. Do people really put any thought at all in naming thier horses? Lets learn by example.

8 yr old Friesian gelding -Bennypal
First off the add says this horse is FHANA reg. so if he's 8 years old and was born in 2001 his name should not start with a "B" 2000 has the year for A, B and C names. I'm just hoping this is just a silly litle barn name, cause thats a horrible name for a friesian. Bleck!

7 yr old Friesian stallion - Mami
Picture this; a glorious well muscled Friesian stallion galloping across a meadow, long, flowing mane and abundant feathering. His expression says "Yes, I'm beautiful, look at me" His name, which we would guess to be a masculine as this awesome presence...Mami. O.O really now? for a nice stallion, really? goodness any stallion should have a manly name. Again, a reg friesian at 7 years old should not have a name starting with "M" 2002 year of G, H, I. Get with it people. >.<

This one just sucks. Friesian Gelding - Nukks. WTF were you thinking, sounds like Nuts. O.o

Friesian Sport Horse Gelding - Melisa. WTF thats my name! xP

Friesian Gelding - Funky

Friesian Gelding - Dukky

Friesian Gelding - Lili (Really, no lie. )

These names were really on sale ads. I don't care if thier barn names or anything, they suck!

Deep-fried show day

It was Cookie's first show of the season, our usual schooling shows. I've only done 5 shows now. So I like them alot, good place to start and get used to showing. IOt was a HOT, HOT, HOT day. I mean hot and humid which I think is was worse than 90 degree dry heat. Luckily we parked in the shade. So this isn't a big story, we did good. two 3rds and two 4ths of of 7 in our Walk/Trot division. It was just hot as hell which made showing alittle annoying. And of course after my classes the judge said we could take our jackets off. Could of told me sooner. xD

My Friesian Paradise!

Well this past sunday I returned from my week long Friesian extravaganza at Friesians of Majesty, oh it was beyond wonderful, amazing! There is so much that happended I'll just give you the highlights. I rode a fabulous gelding namesd Gurbe, his canter is a dream! I learned to drive which is amazingly fun!!! I saw all 10 new babies and got to handle some bringing them back to the barn. I got to help out with a bus show, rode up in the carriage with Bob and got to proudly wear red and black. I now know all 7 geldings by name in the gelding barn, I felt so accomplished! Saw an ultrasounding and insemination of 2 of the only 9 Model Mares in the United States! The first two Model Mares in New England. It was just the best week at FOM ever!!! I'm also so close to getting a job up there maybe an internship next summer! Woo Yeah! :-D The Best! Life is good at FOM!

I'm surpised

I know equine.com is a good site so anyone advertising on it would know what thier talking about, give good information on a horse or product they're selling and put up a stud fee for a worthy stud. Now I was looking at the Friesian stallions standing at stud and was glad to find that no random backyard breeder put their not-worthy stallion up. All the ones I saw were Ster stallions, dressage/ect. champions and came from amazing lines. Yet you really don't see many crappy Friesians out there especially stallions since quality breeding is number one priority. So i'm glad that I saw some good quality Friesian stallions up for stud, some were for cross breeding though but seemed like good enough stallions. I rather see approved stallions being used alot than just a unapproved stallion but i'm impressed with what I've been seeing. Anyways you don't see any FPS approved stallions advertising on equine.com or dreamhorse.com they're too good for that, just look at FHANA's site, they're all there. :-)
