Hey there Thomas! Good to have you here.

*you guys...he did have few...shall I say exciting moments riding Candee around the round pen (w/his death grip on the reins ;-) as she tried largoing w/him. You did fine. Just need to build up that confidence...Isn't that right NITO? ;-)

[jmtw]

Welcome, Thomas!
Nice to have someone else around to help me pick on Lori. :D

[Thomasj]

[Thomasj]

[Pasogirlz]

[DebbieS]

Welcome to the bb Thomas! That first largo ride is like "Whooohooo" isn't it?? It's so much fun! My son (who is 13) had that reaction the first time my paso did it with him Luckily, they were in the corral, so they didn't disappear down the road together!!

[TrueStepPaso]

Welcome Thomasj.....enjoy!

[Thomasj]

lol yeah it was quite exciting!! rather eager to keep learnin tho :smile: and it's a pleasure to meet ya'll both everyone :smile:

[baileyholc]

Welcome to the bb. Your first ride sounds a bit like mine. The more you ride the better you get and the funner the ride. You just have to relaxe. BTW, I am Mary from SC. Glad to met cha. :hello

[Thomasj]

relaxation isn't easy.. but it's better to be optimistic lol. good to meet you too :) i'm jus hopin i don't end up paralyzed while learning *shudders*

[Brigitte]

[Thomasj]

[darcy]

Welcome to the board from Colorado, Thomas!

[Thomasj]

pleasure to meet you, darcey :)

[Pasomom]

Hi there Thomas, I see you made your debut!

Hey, watch out there on the horse snatching.....Course, I'm not too worried...I've been riding Candee so much on trailrides, she is really slimming up and getting in better shape...you won't recognize her when you come to snatch her! ;-) :D You'll think shes a different horse ;-)

May huh? The end of May is the Specturm show.....What part of May did you say? Lots of horses to be snatched there ;-)
You and your Dad would really enjoy that!

[Moniece Dickerson]

HEY Thomas *****WELCOME*****!!!!!!!!Your dad seems to be a great guy and speaks quite highly of you!!SO glad you have come to join us :D !!Your new paso friend,Moniece

[Thomasj]

about the time kids graduate from highschool lol. i'll also be attendin a weddin down in tampa come aug 29 (she decides to have it 2 days b4 my bday :roll: ex g/f's. lol i'm hopin that one day, ya'll'll get to meet my twin, diana. she loves horses too.

shiloh (dad's colt) seems to like me alot. was lickin my arm when i was tyin the gate shut. i don't know much bout horses but i think that means he thinks i'm a good guy lol

once i learn to ride i'm gonna try and find me a sorrel paso. and candee's been workin out? maybe she's tryin to tell me that i need to do the same! or... so i won't recognize her.. hmm can see it now, end up on pasogirlz's new project by accident. :lol: ,guess i need to brush up on my lessons first. right now they're somewhat laughable :lol:

yeah dad seems quite impressed w/ me. i'm not sure why... i mean, next yr i'll have a book of poetry published, made a 25 on my act and didn't try nor study, and was in who's who of american high school students all 4 yrs. lol and if ya think he's a great guy then ya'll will think the same of me :D we seem to have alot in common :lol: pleasure to meet you, moniece. always a good thing when i make new friends :)

[Thomasj]

ok, ash "thinks" her graduation date is on the 20th. so somewhere round there. :roll: women :lol:

[Pasomom]

Well, that may very well be around the time of Specturm....It will either be that weekend or the next ......Maybe you could come down a day early if it is that weekend. It is in Orlando (Kissimmee) area.

[Pasogirlz]

Spectrum is the next weekend after that. ;-)

[Thomasj]

she still thinks it's the 20th, but she seems more certain now. at least i've a definite date on her wedding (so long as old feelings don't resurface and/or her fiance doesn't attempt to start anything). that's 8/29, btw and jus in case ya'll were wonderin, 8/31 is my bday.. jus to give ya'll plenty of time to pitch in and buy me a really nice paso 8-)

[stacyeblack]

Hi Thomas,

I lurk a lot here. I don't know much about Pasos, so I don't post anything. Whenever I have a mini foal born I'll post pics to brag and all, but as far as talking Pasos I'm just absorbing information.

If you should get interested in Minis, let me know!

Just wanted to say hello, from lovely North Mississippi.

Stacye

[Thomasj]

are minis save to ride? ya know for like... 130 lbs + or - 5?

[stacyeblack]

Um, no...maybe 40 pounds! I think you might be a little too big. Wouldn't have far to fall, though!

[Thomasj]

hmm need to find some wieghts for the minis to lift lol i generally lurk alot too, but i try to post when i can actually comment and not seem like an idiot when it comes to horses (even tho i am lol)

[stacyeblack]

Yep, I can just see 'em, pumping iron in the pasture...stallion flexing for the ladies, girls holding in their tummies when the boys go by...still won't make them any taller, though! Which is good. Smaller is better! With minis, anyway.

Stacye

[Thomasj]

i'm kinda short.. figure 14 1/2 hands would be my ideal height in a ridin horse. i think that'd be good for me.

[Pasogirlz]

ummm, yeah Thomas....that is on the large side for Pasos. Candee the horse you rode is only 13.3

[Thomasj]

oh wow! ok.. well, then i guess 13.0 would be perfect for me :D

Hi Thomas! Deb D here - I think your Dad wants you to ride Bianca when you come down - she's 14.1 hands - she's pretty big for a Paso too! Jochi is 13.1 - but I don't think you're quite ready for him!
