I also had another thought -- why now "offer" Tuffy and cart for flower girl and/or ring bearer for another $50 extra. Shoot, I take the Tuf-Man anyway for company for X - AND, I'd just about decided to drive him along behind Buddy and X ....... might as well make some $$ from him too at the same time . --- * Origin: Home of Mr X's 'Xtraordinary Carriage Services (1:371/33) --------------- FIDO MESSAGE AREA==> TOPIC: 243 HORSES Ref: EA300002 Date: 06/02/97 From: MIKE MAY Time: 05:35am \/To: MEG ALFONI (Read 0 times) Subj: Malla still Has it -> MM :>I hope so.

Well actually when I thought about that I added a year to her age. She is going to be 22 not 23 in August. So it doesn't fly as fast as we though. ) I would say it has to be around 7-8 years anyway isn't it?

JP :> Sure was scary!!! Now he's running all over the place JP :>like a 2yr old Glad to hear it! Ms. Fiddle and her partner in crime, Shiloh, decided to knock down a few fence rails yesterday and indulge themselves in some nice, very green grass in the front paddock. I came home from work to find them there knee deep in grass. Needless to say, I was scared to death that I'd have either colic or founder on my hands. However, all seems well this a.m., so I'm hoping for the best. The paddock they have been in all year does have some grass, so I'm hoping they had had enough that this won't be too much of a shock to their systems. I tell ya...it never ends with horses!! This was the paddock that we spent two weekends on liming, manuring, picking rocks and seeding. They didn't tear it up at all, thank God! I probably would have done them in if they had, after all that work! Now, poor Richard (aka post hole digger!) has to replace a whole line of fence......he was planning on doing it little by little over the summer, but I think his schedule will have to be moved up. He insists on doing it himself, by hand...I think he's nuts!

Hey, remember me? I called Meg's BBS, left a message and when I was replying to one from Mike, the board HUNG UP on me! That's okay, long distance BBSing is EXPENSIVE, I love this echo but calling Ipswich is a little much! I tried the Union Jack where I was posting from, it didn't answer for WEEKS...then I found out it changed its phone number, still couldn't connect for some reason. I think this modem is on its way out. I have ordered a 686-200, which I will pick up on Friday. Wish me luck, I will be learning to navigate my way around in Windoze. Could not get Warped on this one. Anyway, I asked the SySop of the BBS where I have been toodling around in a Trade Wars game if he would get Equus, and here I am! I may not be back until I get the new computer set up, this danged modem is so unreliable...or maybe it's not the modem, it may be the computer. It IS pretty old...it started life as a 486. I actually rode Dub BAREBACK down the road with some neighbors, my 7 year old neighbor Brittany rode Spot bareback with me. We did fine until Dub decided to scare me and jig all the way home so I got off! I bet I haven't ridden him bareback in 3 years; it was a spur of the moment thing. You guys are gonna have to catch me up on everything I have missed. The horses are in the front yard, in a 48 x 48 pen with two palm trees for shade and for munching on. ;) They love it, and so do I. The houses have lots of things for me to do on them, none exigent, but I did put an air conditioner on the guest house last week so it'll be better than the evaporative cooler during the monsoon season. Everything else is pretty much getting stuff the way _I_ want it, as well as painting and patching. I am using the dressing room on the horse trailer for a tack room, I may build something better for later. The carriage is also being stored in the horse trailer (the Meadowbrook) with a tarp on it to protect it from the sun. I used one of the cameras Mike sent me to take some photos, I will have to make sure I have everyone's address to send them to! BTW, Jean, we don't even barbeque without your EGS anymore. More later...gotta go read some more messages! --- * Origin: Strike Eagle ][ BBS (602)486-1737 Glendale, Az.
