Hallo Pauline!!!!

I replied but I've brennused* (=deleted for no particular reason) my post. I got angry because I wanted to send you a picture of our own horse but I couldn't. I tried it the same way as I normally do but it failed.

Anyway, I'm happy to read that you are going to take horse riding lessons.

Are going to learn English or western style? I also like the way women in the old times, especially princesses and other noble ladies used to ride a horse, wearing skirts or dresses. I wanted to show you a picture of women's saddles and that of horse riding women in dresses and I found that:


LOL! I thought of horses, not bikes...

Finally, I've found a picture. However, it's only a reconstruction of old attire as a revival of old traditions:


My dad rides horse and is a great enthusiast of the Parelli-method. I don't know if you have heard of that - it's a non-violent horse training method. He doesn't ride our horse yet because she's too young to be ridden, but she's being trained. My dad wants to start riding her next spring but very carefully.

I used to ride a horse when I was younger, nevertheless, not on a regular basis but I'm planning to learn it well. After my dad mastered it fully (he doesn't quite feel savvy now), he'll help me.

PS: I like your picture of a dog on horseback.

*Is "brennused" American English? Should it be "brennussed" in British English?

I don't know, i don't know such things!!! My aim is to get on the horse, the horse will walk and I don't fall on the ground!!!

It's great that your Dad know so much about horses and riding them. I will go to the lessons with a friend but I don't know if there will be other people as well. I will tell you in september.

That would be my level. My roommate is a horse enthusiast, so I'm familiar with lots of horse terminology now, but I can never retain the meaning of any of it.

I don't know horse termnology at all also. I expetc that my friend, who will have lessons as well, will be more useless than me, so I'm not worried Eccept, that she has ridden horses before. My favourite type of horse is the beige colour one with white, cream colour mane and tail. I fidn that the ones with lot of fur at the feet arent'so pretty or eleagnt, but there're gentle and don't decide to suddenly run away when you're riding them. I don't mind on which horse I will get the lesson, but it must be a calm and nice one.

I love horseback riding! I can't afford one of my own, but I know people who have their own horses, and I ride them on occasion. They're awe-inspiring beasts, and second to dogs, are my favorite animal.

The trick is to learn to flow with the horse, If you just sit flat on the saddle as the horse goes up and down, your butt is going to be sore. And never be afraid, otherwise the horse will take the opportunity to make a boss of himself, and he won't listen to your commands. They sense fear. And there's no need to kick the horse in its ribs if you wan't to increase speed. A slight kick and some verbal cues are all it takes for liftoff.

Yes, very similar as the photo, but their body would be a more light, (pale?) colour.

I wouldn't kcik the horse. I hope it will be a slow horse who doesn't like to run or be naughty. Those horses are very calm and nice ones, so probably it will be okay!!! In september, if suddenly from one day I won't visit here, then you can guess that I will have fallen from the horse and my arms will be in a bandage so I can't write on the computer

I believe Palominos come in a wide range of shades, from almost white to a fairly deep, reddish-gold. But they all have the cream mane and tail. I think they're very pretty, too. In recent years, I've come to like the greys -- both the ones that are actually called grey (which look almost white to me) and the darker, blue-gray ones, which I think someone told me recently are called roan.

Maybe you can ask your horse friends to type out the messages with their hooves.

Oh, I'm sorry -- horses tap out messages with their hooves, not type. Silly misunderstanding!

Pauline, I have zero experience with horses. Unless you count watching them at the racing ground. Having a little sporting flutter at the races is a very exciting thing to do on a Saturday afternoon.

As I am writing, I realise that there is a horse that is (literally) close to my heart:


See that small horse there?

LOL!! It would be very funny to see the horses tap the letters on my laptop !!! But probably they would walk on it and smash it up


This one's in a hurry LOL!!!!!!!!!!



This picture's horrible.

Yes how suitable to wear such a shirt when you're riding a horse or watching them at the racing ground!!!

That's damn funny!!!!! Your typing would be a bigger mess than a message written after a booze. LOL
(Last night, wine...does it ring a bell? Are you okay now? I hope you don't have a bad hangover with a headache.)

That's not the Parelli method for sure. How cruel those little yellow creatures are.

Loooooiiiic!!!!!! You seem to be obsessed with pieces of clothing...you are worse than a woman...

Yes, wearing a shirt like that whilst riding a horse is without a doubt rather practical. There is only one thing being more practical for our purposes: it's a bright yellow shirt. You'll be decorated with nice little black insects and bugs in no time.

I'm very well, thanks. I've drank only 1/2 glass white wine, but probably it had very much effect to my eyes because of a extra medicine I take since about 2 weeks but normally I don't take it. When I've drank the wine, I didn't remember or think of this but I read on the infos today it tell to avoid alcohol, it will cause blurred vision, dizziness etc... Anyway it's not allowed that I drink alcohol (never) , although normally I dont'notice such an effect. It was delicious and refreshing wine!!!I didn't have the intention to become drunk, and I wasn't so much dizzy as soemtimes without alcohol but my eyes were like separated of themself!! I sleeped very well LOL!!

Yes, I hate them. Fortunatly not all the yellow creatures are the same ones: thse are octagonal, but the usual ones are circular.

Does the colour yellow attract flies? I don't wear yellow, so I won't wear it when I will have the riding lessons. Mostly I wear pink, white, blue, green, black, red, beige etc..not yellow.

Yes, it might be octagonality that makes them so cruel and ill-willed.

They aren't harmoniously hexagonal like France. LOL.
