If wishes were horses... (Meet Summer!) *More Pics Added*

[zippy-kat]

then mine was just granted!


Isn't she a beautiful girl?

Summer is a 4yr old, 1000 lb "puppy dog." She is SUCH a sweetie and tries to follow me everywhere I go.

I haven't got to ride her much yet (need a larger girth for my english saddle, my western saddle still hasn't arrived) but I am more than ready to do so. I think she's going to be an awesome mount - very honest, wants nothing more than to please, sweet SWEET temperment, and has a BEAUTIFUL flowy trot.

Enough from me, here's a few pics to do the rest of the talking.









Gosh, I've only had her since Friday but I AM IN LOVE!

[Karen]

She's beeoootiful! Congratulations!

[Cinder & Smoke]

HAPPIE New HORSEY, Zipps!!

Pretty *Snazzie* Tuxedo Paint Job she's got!

Wonder how she'll look with a PINK saddle blankie?

And Hey, Summer ~~~ WELCOME to Pet Talk!


Speaking of Blankies ... have you moved your Blankie & Pillow out to her "apartment" yet?

No saddle? Izzat a problem? ... Haven't you taken a spin Bare-Back?

Hope the City has a lil "park" near your office ... then you can *Ride to Work*
and *Park* her for the day; then ride home.

Sure hope she rides as *sweet* as she looks!
But HEY ~~~ Remember your Seat Belt ... no fallin off!

Here's Wishing that you two have MANY Pleasure-Filled Rides together!!




BIG {{{HUGS}}}, Zippy-Kat!!

Oh, Tonya, she is gorgeous! What a beauty of a girl and to think she has such a loving personality as well. Congratulations to both of you as she did quite well too. I've always liked the name *Summer* and have tried to convince a number of folks to name their animal Summer. Maybe now I can stop, now that I know someone with a Summer.

She's VERY pretty!

Seems like everyone is getting horses now. I want mine!!

[anna_66]

Tonya I was hoping you'd post about her (Staci told me)

I see now why you are so in love with her...she's gorgeous!

Congratulations and Welcome to PT Summer!

Wonder how she'll look with a PINK saddle blankie?

need a larger girth for my english saddle, my western saddle still hasn't arrived

Now what would you need those for just jump on her bareback.

Summer is so beautiful!!!
My daughter and I both dream about getting our own horse, my dream horse would be a black and white paint horse mare just like you got!
You are so lucky!
I am so jealous.
Please post as many photos of her as possible.
What are your plans for her?
Riding English or Western, Horse Shows or Breeding,
or all of the above?
CONGRATULATIONS on the beautiful new addition to your family.
(If I were you, I would just ride her bareback, I wouldn't be able to wait for USPS.)

[Cinder & Smoke]

Now what would you need those (saddles) for ??
Just jump on her bareback.

Uhhhh, past practice indicates that BareBack riding has been hazardous to the Zippy-Kat!

Till a reliable method of attaching a SEAT Belt to the Trusty Steed is devised -
BareBackin is NOT the suggested seating arrangement!

And here's the Hoss Spill Tail from Miz Zippy herself: (May 7, 2002)

"Here's my best attempt to 'splian what happened...

Saddled up western hoss Winchester... he didn't like the bit - got fiesty - crow hopped, reared, NO BIG DEAL. Stayed on.
Got on Flaco (spooky English hoss)... he freaked when I set my camera onna fence, we did some nice FAST sidesteppin, no big deal, stayerd right on.
Got on BOMBPROOF Cadalliac (bareback), trot trot trot, lope lope lope lope <OPPSY!> <lost my balance> <plop> ...leave it to me to fall off the EASY guy
So, anywho, got back on him and stayed on... Finished class, fed horses, went home...

OK, wrist/elbow is now reaalllly hurtin. Had hay all over me; decided at worst elbow is broken ~ But I ain't gettin' a cast on a dirty arm so I took a shower.
Got out--k--close to dinner time - no tellin' how long I'll be in emergency rm... Guess I'll eat dinner first. So I did! Went 2 emergency rm--MANY ppl there ~ Decided *maybe* it din't hurt as bad as I thought. Went back home. Took i.b.-profane and iced it. More I layed there, worse it felt. Finally decided to go back to emergenecy rm... 'n the rest u knowz.

Dad sez I should get into bronc ridin ~ tolz me "If ur gonna git hurt, ya might as well get paid for it!"
Hmmm... he does have a point..."

Trials and Tribulations of Dealing with a Bent & Wrapped Wing reported so far =

1) Pounding onna puter pawboard
2) Managing the Head Fur
3) Fastening *button-up* blue jeans
4) Releasing pain pills from 'easy-open' container

And she'll prolly find a few more to add to the list...

At the time this post was made, Zippy had been diagnosed with a "sprained elbow" ...
LATER X-Rays showed she had suffered a BROKEN Wrist - which required a Plaster Cast.

Let's *wait* for the "Seats" to arrive!

She is *sooooo* beautiful... what an absolutly stunning girl.

Summer is so pretty! Congrats!
