I’d like to hear from anyone who has had a problem with charges from dollar rental car.
When I went to OKC this year, we paid our car rental ahead of time.  When we went to pick it up, the gentleman asked us if we wanted insurance.  We both said “NO, NY insurance covers rentals.”  We were [...]

I would like to congratulate Judy Bodman of Boulder Colorado on her purchase of “Ting.”
 
Judy and Ting found each other in Oklahoma this year and are sure to make a great team.  Ting is now under the training of Dale and Terry Rickford and will be shown on the West Coast next season.  Look for [...]

I just got a call from our trainer.  Their truck was broken into last night.  It was in the hotel parking lot.  Please do not leave any valuables unattended.  Even locked vehicles are not safe. 
 
Update:  Just found out that our trainer was not the only one.  About 10-12 vehicles got hit.  It was in the [...]

Morganrider got me thinking.  She mentioned she had never been to OKC before.  So, for all of us “old-timers” who have gone, lets give Morganrider some impressions.  Specifically, what are your strongest memories or impressions from your first trip to OKC?

So, I am going the first Saturday night of OKC.  [...]

Do you want to stand out in the crowd?  Come take a ride on the Mercedes Benz of western pleasure mounts.
“Ting” is a 6 year old gelding and has been in training with Jeff and Amy Bessey at Summerbird Farm throughout his career.  He is a true 15.2 hands, chestnut, blond tail, with enough chrome to [...]

Does anyone know if spurs are allowed in carry-on luggage?
Just got a call from the trainer that the spurs need to fly to Illinois with me!

I read that Judy Whitney Harris returned to the show ring.  She showed a 2 year old Jr. Park Harness Mare at the Kentucky State Fair Morgan Show and won her class. 
Welcome back Judy!!!
BTW…when we talked to Ernesto at Gold Cup, he said that he had a spectacular 2 year old mare, but left her at [...]

I bought a hunter this year…and haven’t ridden hunt since I was 13 yrs old. Back then, I was able to braid my own horse (yarn braids), but have long forgotten how. Heck, sometimes I have a hard time remembering my kids names…and let’s not even talk about where I put the car [...]
