Quite recently, a friend and I went to the movies together except that we went to different theatres. The movie was Sweeny Todd (no need to link; you can find it easily enough) and we got our wires crossed because more than one movie house in town has the same name in the title [...]
Nope, not a dang thing to do with horses and not much to do with barn culture as I have experienced it and I don’t hink horses have much to do with the SDS either unless there were some mounted police in Chicago in ‘68. But I’m a Pekar fan. So don’t steal [...]
I was watching an episode of The Wild Wild West last night and, of course, it was appallingly acted and written but way back, when that show was current, I thought it was soooo cooool! Now that I am an adult and a callous sophisticate, even my favorite character, Artemus Gordon, seems two-dimensional. And OMG the [...]
The comment was made yesterday that one of the horses at the barn, a former racehorse, was about as off-the-track as you could get. The big guy in question, Ghost, is a beautiful dapple-gray fellow. I just love dapples. They’re so . . . dappley. I don’t know how much scratch Ghost earned or where [...]
OMG! The utter cuteness of I Can Has Cheezburger? has ruined my life — in a good way.
The New Yorker ran a piece in the Talk of the Town section about what is perhaps the last horse to be ridden on the bridle path in Central Park. You can read what Mr. Angell, himself a perfect New Yorker, has to say here. As a side note, I’m very glad that the New Yorker [...]

Not that I’m without snobbiness. Why, even as a child, I turned up [...]
Oh my goodness, in my search for Mountain Horse boots I chanced upon the Mountain Horse Web site! Talk about your fantasies! It’s not just the great sweaters, cool boots, naty and oh-so-chic breeches; it’s the photo shoot.
Yes, as the swimsuit issue of Sports Illustrated is to devotees of the bikini and sports, this catalogue [...]
Today I was reading www.halt-near-x.com, a well-written blog devoted to horses. Ms. X, the author, suggested a hypthetical registery for “Shank’s pony.”
“Shank’s pony, Shank’s pony,” I thought, “I have heard that phrase in some other context. Oh! Yes! A Richard Thompson song called “Walking the Long Miles Home.” The line is “When you ride Shanks’s pony, you [...]
This above picture is representative of the sexiness and lewdness on this blog.
As the (ahem) administrator and such of my own piece of Internet real estate here at WordPress, I would like to take this moment to explain that those seeking satisfaction by use of phrases such as Women Doing Horses or Horses Doing Girls [...]
