Some of you already know that I have published a novel. I had actually written the novel, back in the 80’s for a contest and last year, I found the original manuscript, while cleaning out my office, after I retired. I updated...

Teresa W. Marengo was always one of my favorite historical horses. Did you know Breyer did a Marengo figure? It's funny though because I always pictured Marengo as looking somewhat different than the Breyer model

Who Was Bucephalus?

Alice Henry @IreneVincent (15962) • United States 4 Apr 17

Horses have played an important part in the history of humankind. Researching horses was something I did a lot of, when I wrote my novel back in the 1980s. Now, I’m revisiting some of my notes. I can’t write about famous...

Teresa W. I love horses and I, too, am a fan of anything to do with horses. I had a horse when I was a kid and that was a good way to grow up, riding all the time. I do not have horses any longer because they are so expensive to have and take proper care of. I hope...

Horses on Parade

katsmeow1213 @katsmeow1213 (28716) • United States 9 Apr 17

I don't remember when or why it started. I want to say it began it the 80's or early 90's. I believe it was once a fundraiser, and the horses were auctioned to raise money for something. However it started, to this day you'll see...

Teresa W. I like the decorated horses. I wish we had them where I live but alas, we have statues of 1950's trucks all over town. They are small-ish, each is painted and decorated quite differently and they are cute as can be. I saw painted cow statues in a nearby...

We have a nephew whose hobby is riding his horse in endurance events. We volunteered to help at a few rides and either manned a check-point or worked the two-way radios. These are used to keep tabs on all riders while they are out...

Teresa W. We don't have wireless here. I am interested in it but have no clue how to go about all that or if my old computer is even capable of handling it. I will have to keep up with your discussion to see how it works for you.

How much can you drink before you consider yourself DRUNK?

danishcanadian @danishcanadian (28953) • Canada 31 Dec 09

I consider myself drunk when I start to lose control of my co-ordination. I can usually drink about four Caesars (the kind in the bottle). Drank 5 once, and had a hell of a hangover the next day, so I am going to limit myself...

Teresa W. Well, I don't drink so my limit is nothing. LOL My parents were both alcoholics so I have avoided drinking. So I imagine it would not take much to get me drunk then. I would actually be afraid to drink alcohol now though because of my diabetes and the insulin...
