QUICKIE………..

8:41am May 9th, 2010

So I will be brief, for I am so short of time, lately. 

I took a flying launch off of Magnum, the Thoroughbred in mid flight jumping over the trenches up back.  How you ask?  Well….in a dressage saddle.  NOT suppose to jump in them.  My intentions were not to jump but have a nice ride up back and on the way home I just couldn’t control myself and let him go.  Well, so did I.  Off that saddle into mid are and landed elbow, shoulder, hip.  NO………of course I am not hurt!  Just pains me no one was there to enjoy the cartoon. 

Got my side saddle for Tankus.  What an amazing saddle!  Made in 1925, treeless, for a draft or warmblood, or SOMETHING big, Gawd only knows back then.  It is stamped Champion and Wilton, By Appointment to his Majesty, the King.  Whatever that means.  I am intriqued and have no idea, for Champion and Wilton is no more.    Anyway, I put it on him every time I get back from our ride to get use to it.  I am not comfortable enough to ride up back and over the trenches, but getting better..

stirrup is too long but I JUST got the saddle and threw it on.

I wish I could figure out how to put these damned pictures in order with my writings.  Probably will never happen.

So lastly for now, my dear friend Sheila Bleck qualified for the Olympia this weekend in NYC , her pro debut!  I am so excited because finally, we have another perfect female bodybuilder with creativity, heart, and perfect symmetry.  I am so proud to be her friend and make her suits for years.

Found this on a British History website. This is my saddle
That is a fanny pack full of carrots in front of me…NOT A BELLY!!
Lovely Sheila!
No words needed

That’s all for now, gotta get back to work.  I have a lot going on the next two weeks, so I will have a lot to write about after the 22nd.

Some Kahlil Gibran words….
A MANS VALUE IS IN THE FEW THINGS HE CREATES AND NOT IN THE MANY POSSESSIONS HE AMASSES.
THERE IS NO CONVENIENCE IN OUR PRESENT DAY CIVILIZATION THAT DOES NOT CAUSE DISCOMFORT.
MAN MERELY DISCOVERS, HE NEVER CAN AND NEVER WILL INVENT.
Last but not least, in memory of my Aunt Karen, who died last week.
THE LIGHT OF THE STARS THAT WERE EXTINGUISHED AGES AGO STILL REACHES US.  SO IT IS WITH GREAT MEN WHO DIED CENTURIES AGO, BUT STILL REACH US WITH THE RADIATIONS OF THIER PERSONALITY.
