Anybody here?

mekiakoo

I'm having some wine. Don't tell me I'm the only one here!

Mekiakoo I just got here, by chance! I didn't know it was VKN until a minute ago. I love the picture in your signature!!

mekiakoo

Maybe we're the only ones on here! Haha!

Thanks- it's one of our e-pics. Our pup jumped into a swamp right after that pic. Here's a pic of him after it happened:



That little devil! Do you have any pets?

I'm sort of around. FI and I are on our way home from dinner. Hopefully we get home soon so I can join you for real!

mekiakoo

Looks like TK is eating our posts! Damn it!

syddy88

Cute! Yes I have a dog and a bunch of horses.

Scooter..he is 5 now, but this is my favorite picture of him.

The knot is being cranky and won't let me upload my horses pictures, I will try another post.

michelle11988

Oh no! I am on my phone and it seems fine to me.

michelle11988

Both of your dogs are adorable! I so want a dog right now.

Now I can see your posts, Michelle! Whew. Go and buy a dog- they're fun!

Syddy- what kind of dog is he?? ADORABLE! I love horses too!

I'm hereish. I'm doing my hair and make-up before we go out tonight. 

How bout we have a drinking game where everytime someone says 'here' we drink. I don't even need an excuse to drink....but others might

mekiakoo

Ok let the games begin!!! Ha.

Meagan, where are you guys going??

syddy88

Haha love that idea Meagan!

Mekiakoo he is a black lab pit bull cross, but he's a total love, most people are shocked when I say there is pit bull in him.

I found one more picture! This is our mule Abner.

mekiakoo

How cute! How many horses do you have???

syddy88

Between my dad (he's in those photos)  and me we have 7 horses and 1 mule. My parents have property so they all stay at their house.

mekiakoo

I'm jealous! We now probably have enough land for a couple of horses, but I've never had one before so I wouldn't know where to start!! I'll stick with playing with other people's horses!

MeaganR12

How lucky are you to have horses, syddy! I really wish I lived in the country sometimes. 

We're going to a club/lounge for a friend's birthday, should be fun but I'd kinda rather just order a pizza and watch sex and the city, lol.

I'm scared of horses -_- I've always wanted to go horseback riding - but I'm just terrified of falling off.

mekiakoo

I'm in my PJ's and just finished a glass of wine. I wish we were going out though! I've been a bum all week long because I was sick (still am I think). Wanna trade, Meagan???

BrightFireFly- Horses are big, aren't they??? A lot of people get nervous around horses. They're actually a nervous animal! You should try riding with a guide some day, it's difficult to slide off something huge!

syddy88

it's awesome!! We ride pretty much every weekend in the summer. I love living in the country.

Meagan that sounds so fun! I'm glad I am home and relaxing tonight. I leave Sunday to go to Idaho for work for a week, so my weekend is pretty low key.

syddy88

BrightFireFly- Just go with a guide on a trail ride or something that you will have a Western saddle, they have a horn so you have something to hold onto. English saddle don't have a horn, so start on a wetern one. Between the horn and stirrups its really difficult to fall off.

Awesome to know. We go to the Smokey Mountains a lot - and they have guided tours. Always wanted to do it - maybe sometime this summer!

mekiakoo

Yes, go for it!!! It's so relaxing riding a horse. I went to a horse camp for 2 summers- couldn't go anymore because my parents were paying for an interpreter 24 hours a day for a week straight.

I need my horse fix now.

Looks like it's just us who is on here tonight!

michelle11988

I love your horses syddy! I'm being a bum as well tonight and staying in, but I haven't been feel well at all this past week so probably best to stay in.

MeaganR12

I went to horse camp every year as a kid and I loved it. I think it's easier to start as a kid because you're more trusting, things seem scarier than they are when you're an adult. 

syddy88

That would be perfect, those would be trail rides, so I am sure they would be western saddles. You would have soo much fun. Those horses are dead broke, so they would be super calm, an awesome way to start.

michelle11988

I'e gone horsebacking once in my life and it wasn't as scary as I thought it would be.  I'm terrified of heights and falling and I survived.  I am trying to find some place in Hawaii to go horseback riding (for our honeymoon) but not sure where to start.

syddy88

I watched war horse last weekend. I thought it was pretty good. Loved the horse in the movie!!

Hello ladies :

mekiakoo

OH! that's a great idea- horseback riding on your honeymoon. We should totally look into this for our honeymoon in Maine. FI gets light headed when he rides horses- they scare him haha.
