Horse!

[mijan]

I just wanted to introduce you to my horse, Champ.  

He's 16 hands high (that's very tall for a Quarterhorse), and is an absolutely darling horse with a playful personality, and a definite desire to please.  He also LOVES the snow.  I swear, he just likes to frolic.  We get to the field, and he can't wait to get into the snow, which in most places, comes up past his knees and hocks.  He's also got the most gorgeous tail, but my sister decided to braid it today, so you can't even see how nice it is.  Oh, and the sun was in our eyes... he normally doesn't look quite that sleepy.  LOL.  Trust me, I'll be taking lots more pictures, so you'll get to see better.  I can't wait until summer when he sheds his shaggy winter coat, and you can see how shiny his summer coat is.  :D

I also have a video that my sister took of me riding.  It's kinda shakey, and my sister had the sun behind me, instead of behind her when she positioned herself (silly person), but you can certainly see us gallop past. This is the video:  http://members.cox.net/phoenixsong/potterart/Champ_Gallop.AVI  (Be patient... it takes a moment to load.)

I'll hopefully have more videos and pictures soon.

Crush? ??? Elaborate? ;)

Well...there's a guy that I have an iiiitty bitty crush on and he goes horseback riding every week. XDDD

It's just a little crush - no, seriously. ^_^ But hmm - way to spend some quality time, eh?

I also wish I could remember to double-check my html. >_

Horseback riding is indeed a great way to spend time getting to *cough* know somebody. And perhaps he can help give you a boost up onto the horse. ;)

I am rather short. ;)

So'm I... but I can still mount a 16+ hand horse from the ground... but in the name of flirtation... even I can forgo dignity and ask for a boost. Have fun!!!

In retrospect, I seem to do a crap load of things in the name of flirtation.

People do some REALLY funny things when they have a crush on someone. It's cute. :)

Cute as in "sometimes extremely embarrassing". XP

LOL... only if you're not careful and fall off the horse while it's standing still. ;)
