Cowgirl Tink Introduces SVTCobra306 to REAL Horsepower!

[StangDreamin']

Into the darkness, a little light must fall.....

Light-heartedness, that is. Since AJ escorted Trish on her sad trip down to Yuma; Trish decided the Iowa Farm Boy needed to see how Desert Rednecks live

Starting out:

Still figuring out the gears!

Trying to pass on the inside at turn 1

More to come

 

[StangDreamin']

And the race continues!

Almost neck and neck coming out of turn 4!!!!

The wily veteran of midwest dirt-tracks toying with the kid from the desert...

But where's the leader?

Out front, of course!

Proving once again that with this kind of horsepower (Man O' War, on both sides); you gotta have some good brakes! (A better racing seat probably would've helped, too)

Third place, second place, first place in left-to-right order. First and second seem to get along

Well it wasn't really a race, but at least AJ held his own reins and was comfortable enough to steer his own pony for the trail ride. Beyond that, It was great to drag AJ out to the Stables. Gonna take him out tommorow and turn him loose again. And this time my "racing seat" will be underneath me and then we'll get some better horsepower pics for ya!

looks like a bunch of fun... I need to bug my horse friend to take me out on her horse now

Now imagine a nice Recaro strapped to one of those things

Now imagine a nice Recaro strapped to one of those things

I tried to imagine that.... All I could see was the Recaro - with the rider still 5-point-harnessed in place- tumbling end-over-end in a cloud of dust behind Tink's horse. Ol' chance is a quick mover, bred to run -hard! (As I alluded, his bloodlines have been traced by the Jockey Club back to the first and third sons of the legendary Man o' War. Yeah, the horse that World Products named their monster Windsor block after.) And he has a bit of an "attitude" - he only likes women, and very few of them. Men are usually just dead meat as far as he's concerned. Every time I ride him, I'm amzed that I'm not picking myself up and walking a mile or two back to his stall! Other guys have learned to walk that particular walk He is the equine equivalent of one of the original 427 Cobras; does one thing extremely well, but only if the driver is good enough.

Tink had put SVTCobra306 on Mrs StangDreamin's horse Rascal. He's an old show/barrel racing/steer roping horse Done pretty much everything in his 28 years; now he's comtent to plod along carrying the wife and kids around. He's got absolutely nothing to prove, and he knows it and acts accordingly.

My horse Dutch (the gray Arabian my son was riding) is my latest project. I can see evidence of some decent training in his mannerisms; but he's got some "handling issues" that I found out about after buying him. Nothing big and he does okay in an arena; but his confidence and controllability out in the field (out in the desert?) are items I'm in the process of addressing. Nothing that can't be fixed with a lot of time in the saddle. I'm confident he'll continue to improve.


Anyways, yeah. Any poor sucker strapped into a Recaro tied to Chance's back would be seriously

Yeah, ditto. Except my horse friend got transferred to St. Louis (her horses are still here, though and she's been trying to get transferred back). And as far as I know, only one is broke (The Missouri fox trotter which I got to take for a test drive before she got it ).

Nice, but where do you stick the quarters?

 

[StangDreamin']

Quarters?

Oh no no no, my azure friend; these guys are the big leagues.
Save your quarters, performance horses eat Benjie's!
Even when nobody's riding them

 

[65stanger]

Quarters?

In that case, I don't even want to know where the change return is!

 

[Cowgirl Tink]

Well the recycled alfalfa may be green but...I don't think that was the kind of return you were wanting....

I'm fairly thankful he is content plodding along, I don't know what I'd have thought if my first riding experience had ended with me doing PLF's like I'd just jumped from a Blackhawk.......

 

[StangDreamin']

Well, we try not to kill anybody on their first visit........
Next time you get Chance
Or maybe Zeb, the clydesdale cross.

 

[Cowgirl Tink]

I wouldn't put him on Chance, not until I'm totally completely sure Chance wouldn't hurt him. I kinda like this one...

Now Zeb's even more content to plod along then Rascal is so he might happen only because I know he doesnt even want to walk much less do anything else.

Nay, or should I say NEIGHHHHHHHH!

 

[StangDreamin']

trish

Now I see how it is..... Now that Chance has gotten a couple years older and has become a "kinder, gentler" Old Fart, you're not sure you want Sgt Geronimo to ride him. But, when he was still half-wild and all mean, you'd ask your kindly old man to "Warm Chance up for me, please Daddy?"

Yeah, I see how it is.......

 

[65stanger]

I kinda like this one...

Geez, I'd hate to think of what she'd do to the one's she doesn't like!

 

[Cowgirl Tink]

Geez, I'd hate to think of what she'd do to the one's she doesn't like!

One way trip to Mexico, anyone? That would be a good indication of whether I like you or not... IF you come back from Mexico....


Otherwise, as lond as you remove fingerprints and dentals most bodies out there are just thought to be illegals who didnt make the border crossing

 

[65stanger]

StD. ---- I think I'd rather try my luck with Chance than with Tink!

 

[Cowgirl Tink]

StD. ---- I think I'd rather try my luck with Chance than with Tink!

Nah- I'm a total sweetheart til you piss me off... and besides I kinda like the BBFCM..

 

[StangDreamin']

StD. ---- I think I'd rather try my luck with Chance than with Tink!

Yeah, she's pretty much her Mother's daughter in that way. Like my Mom, Tink can rip one to shreds verbally; like my sweet little Nurse Honey, the real danger comes when she stops talking

BTW; since we're smoothly cruising along with this 'jacking of my thread, can I put in a request? How's about we stretch my acronym out by typing it StDr? That way it doesn't read like I can be "treated" with a prescription for Cipro!
