Things I learned on move-in day:
 |
| These are my racing stripes. |
- Western people don't trace clip. Two of our ponies are trace clipped, and we had a total of 6 fellow exhibitors stop and say things like, "Well, I don't think I've ever seen a horse colored like that before," or "I've been standing here a few minutes trying to figure out why that horse is two different colors." I thought the second guy was referring to his flaxen mane and tail but realized what he meant and caught myself just in time.
- Connor thinks posters of horses are horses. During our practice ride in the performance arena, he kept giving the Suspicious Spooky Ear to one spot in the arena, and when we walked over to it, he went straight up to a poster of a horse running toward the camera hanging on the wall, and touched its nose in greeting. Adorable.
If if Western people don't clip, they should know what it is! Weird. . .
ReplyDeleteAnd silly Conner! How cute!!
Love it! Both the clipping questions and Connor making friends with the poster! Have a great time today and show off that Cob :)
ReplyDeleteFunny! I think his clip looks very nice. That's cute abut the poster too!
ReplyDeleteAw, he's like 'friend why are you so glossy and silent?'
ReplyDeleteSo cute! And that's interesting. I was under the impression that they body clipped like the rest of us.
