Horse Trivia

[Vermontcat]

Deli, you are right for the first four questions!
But the site I got the trivia from says that Dressage is the first part of the 3-day event.
(it makes sense to me so the horses wouldn't be so tired out when doing the Dressage moves)

[delidog]

Thanks Vermontcat...I just guessed the last one...thinking they would need their energy for c.c.....
I always avoided those 3 day people anyway.....

Well....if you consider that 'hippo' is latin for horse, and the 'nails' of a horse are his hooves, then an electric sander is the tool I use! Takes me up to an hour a hoof to get that glass hoof look for the shows! Then a coat of color cooridinating shoe wax, and two coats of polish, and we are ready to go!

[delidog]

"glass hoof look "

So we can now safely refer to you as Equine Cinderella?!?!??!?!?!?!

[Vermontcat]

LOL you two!
All I did was ask a simple question and all I get are a couple of Equine Comedians!
(I guess that will teach me to post a question late at night.)

If you would like the real answer you can go here

By the way, you are both Hippofile's whether you like it or not.
But that is OK because I am one too!

[Luka-pop]

[delidog]

You Are Right!!!
The Later it gets, The punchier We get!!!!

Maybe Equinebehaviorist,You and I could take this act On The Road?!?!?!?!?

Eqine Comedy!!!Theres' a Thought!!!!!

That website is Great!!!Thanks!!!!!!
Love The German Federation Site!!!!!

[delidog]

So If a Normal Recovery Program is 12 steps....
Hippofiles Anonymous are 3!!!
Why you ask?!?!?!?!?
Because Based on a 12 ft stride....
You only have 3 Steps To Complete!!!!!

Hey Deli, where is Equine? Do you think she is at an HA meeting?( I like that, HA for Hippofile's Anonymous or should we call it HA HA?)

[delidog]

You are TOO funny!!!!

HA!!!!!
I love it!!!!!!

Set the scene!!!!

Crowded,smoky room....perhaps a gym of some sort...The coffee is flowing....

One woman, walks to the podium in the front of the room....
She is new here....
She shakily makes her way up the steps,Positions the mike to her height...
Clears her throat....AHEM!!!!
(This helps the butterflies in her stomach calm down,)

Its' Now or Never she tells herself!!!!!

Hello...My name is Delidog!!!(DELIDOG?!?!?!?!)

"I Am a Hippofile!!!!!!"...she cannot believe she hears this coming from HER throat....
But now it is out....
A Huge weight is off of her shoulders...Oh that Monkey on her back...Has been clinging since childhood...when she saw her first episode of "Mr.Ed"!!!!
Now she knows She is on the road to Hippo Recovery!!!!!!!

Clapping from other members in the room....(they have All been here before!!!!!!!)

The first step is the hardest......(She recalls This in her thoughts)
1)
The first step is Denial.....
as she blurts out.....
"I swear...That was not me feeding,mucking out,turning out, and then schooling 8 horses....The Morning of My Wedding!!!!!"

"You got that story from My Ex-Husband" she said...You know the one that said..."Its' the Horses or me!!!!!!!"
Hope he found All of his clothes that were tossed out the 3rd story window!!!!
Hope hes' happy in somplace like a high rise in N.Y. or Miami!!!!


Maybe Next week Delidog will have had time to come back to reality
I'm not sure if having "Black Beauty" as her Higher Power is a Good Choice

Tune in next week...to see if we have made it past Step one in her recovery!!!!!!
Does she really Want to do this for herself????or is she doing this for Ole' Red in the Barn?!?!?!?!??!

[Vermontcat]
