It's almsot like wearing a seatbelt when riding, eh? :)<BR/>I love my Amish-made Eli Miller saddle, but yours is comcing in at a close-second! <BR/><BR/>And I had no idea you could use olive oil to soften and condition leather. I'm going to try that on my reins, too. Thanks!<BR/><BR/>JOhn Wayne toilet paper, eh? lol!<BR/><BR/>I'm just starting out on my horse journey, so I don't have much in the way of collectables yet. When I was growing up, and in love with horses, my evil stepmother asked everyone to buy me horrid little Mdame Alexander dolls to collect for birthdays and holidays. <BR/>Obviously they were something she wanted. I hated them. I wanted to collect Breyer horses...but that wasn't 'lady-like, in her opinion. Blah!<BR/><BR/>I just mucked my horse's stall tonight and it gave me such a sense of accomplishment and satifaction seeing it all clean. How therapeutic is THAT?! lol!<BR/><BR/>~Lisa<BR/>New MexicoLaughing Orca Ranchhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03562627840013868980noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2976105067124355885.post-80446662962148322712008-12-01T08:49:00.000-08:002008-12-01T08:49:00.000-08:00You have flowers over at my blog!!

Was telling Wade as I unpacked the tree ornaments, I love collecting the horse ones. <BR/>I think we've just never outgrown being horse crazy.Mikeyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03574914465998507310noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2976105067124355885.post-62580046110821979112008-11-27T16:58:00.000-08:002008-11-27T16:58:00.000-08:00You're using Thanksgiving as an excuse not to ride...You're using Thanksgiving as an excuse not to ride?

I too got the chance to ride in a Tom Dorrance clinic, early 90's I think (?) (not sure of the date?)in Hillsboro, Oregon and the same place a few years later just watched. Tom had a fine-looking cowboy riding for him then - his name was "Tank". He was an amazingly patient and kind man. He was also very humble and when you talked with him, you always wanted to hug him - at least I did. I am honored to have met him and I have his book that he signed for me. I hope you have a wonderful Thanksgiving with your family.

I think you and Liz do sound like separated twins! ;)<BR/>I am envious of your saddle! Mine is okay for every day riding, but someday I want a really nice saddle. <BR/>Do you mind me asking, but what publication do you have?Pony Girlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02464088874054923635noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2976105067124355885.post-81383855058641474122008-11-25T20:26:00.000-08:002008-11-25T20:26:00.000-08:00Oh, and your saddle...those pictures can’t be rece...Oh, and your saddle...those pictures can’t be recent, it looks WAY too new!

Karen, we ...OMG, we are sisters separated at birth! Karen, we need to hook up some day!!! Seriously! Love the saddle! Wish I could have watched a Tom Dorrance clinic, let alone ridden in one! I miss my one chance in the 90s before he died. :( I had the privilege of working on Bill’s book but never met him, either. :( I cherish Ray and Buck, and a couple of other folks. I’ll participate in this one, but it may take a few days. We head for Montana tomorrow morning. If I have internet access, I will try to do it when we’re on the road.LatigoLizhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00156135083831037517noreply@blogger.com
