Unfortunately I Have A Long Middle Name

Feb 11, 2008 1 Comment

I’m all for playing tagging games with my fellow horse bloggers, but it’s no fair when they all have middle names with 3-5 letters, and mine is 8 with several repeats.

I saw this video over on Learning Horse’s blog and couldn’t resist sharing. I can just watch it over and over and over.

Thanks a bunch to Anne and her daughter Lily over at Smells Horsey for sharing this online horse jumping game from Jumporama. I think I get worse every time I play it. Anne fell off three times, but I’ve already lost count. I’ll keep at it though, and I bet you will too! Nov 5, [...]
